Meet DERMAFLASH, the Breakthrough Exfoliant You Haven’t Tried Yet

0

If the mere idea of shaving your face horrifies you and conjures up images of painful stubbles and growing a female beard, you’re not alone. In fact, a quick search online shows that most people would rather wax, thread or go through a laser procedure to remove unwanted hair than shave their face. But what if we tell you that there’s another kind of “shaving” that not only removes unwanted peach fuzz from your face but also leaves your skin with a vibrant glow? Yup, you heard that right: It’s called DERMAFLASHing. Inspired by an in-office exfoliating procedure called dermaplaning, DERMAFLASH is an at-home device that gently removes the outermost layer of the skin, including facial hair.

(Curious to see how this works? Here’s what happened when Dermstore team members tried DERMAFLASH.)

To give us more information about this trendy at-home device, we talked to DERMAFLASH founder Dara Levy.

So tell us, what exactly is DERMAFLASH?

Dara Levy: DERMAFLASH was inspired by the dermaplaning treatment and, accordingly, produces similar results. Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile, surgical blade and removes dead skin cells, built-up debris as well as vellus hair. This medical-grade treatment is available only in doctor offices and medical spas and is performed by a physician, nurse or trained medical aesthetician. DERMAFLASH was born in the med spa that I own. After our med spa performed 6,000 dermaplaning treatments in five years, I realized an at-home solution did not exist and created DERMAFLASH. This device is powered by a subtle sonic vibration, which provides an elegant and comfortable treatment, while also enhancing the efficacy of the treatment. It has multiple safety features built in. The blade in our Edge is covered by a safety cage that ensures a safe, smooth result.

Who should use DERMAFLASH?

DERMAFLASH was invented by a woman for ALL women. This little magic wand is appropriate for women of all ages, colors, skin types and tones.

0

As beauty editors, we’re no strangers to beauty hacks and secret tips from celebrity hairstylists and makeup gurus. But we’ve always wondered what sorts of magic and works of genius transpire backstage at fashion shows. Surely, behind every seemingly flawless skin and impeccable hairstyle is a mastermind at work, along with an arsenal of skin, hair and makeup products at his or her disposal.

To our delight, Dermstore got a special invitation to witness all the backstage action at Rachel Zoe’s Fall 2018 pre–fashion week event. This glamorous runway event, which took place on February 5 at The Jeremy Hotel in Los Angeles, showcased her 28th ready-to-wear collection, as well as select styles for the modern bride-to-be.

“This collection pays homage to all of the strong, sexy and powerful women that inspire me in all aspects of my life,” Zoe said. “My personal approach to dressing is about striking a balance between femininity and masculinity, but always being unapologetically glamorous.”

As the official provider of skin care products at the show, we caught a glimpse of all the hair and makeup masters in action, as well as the beauty products used on the models before the show. Interested to know what these are and what the experts say about them? Read on.

1. Lancer Omega Hydrating Oil with Ferment Complex

This ultra-hydrating and moisturizing face oil is the latest innovation in Dr. Harold Lancer’s high-performance skin care line and was developed in response to today’s most common skin concern: skin dehydration due to stressful lifestyles and poor nutrition. Featuring a blend of 10% fermented oils rich in omega fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants, this water-free formula delivers both essential hydration and moisture, leaving your skin plump and soft while improving the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Asked what makeup artist Despina Scandalis thought of Dr. Lancer’s new oil, she said that she loved that it was very malleable and that it mixed well with the makeup products she used. “This oil gave it a beautiful skin-like finish,” she added.

    • 2 Pre-Installed AAA Batteries

CUSHION-FLEX DESIGN

HEALTHY SCALP +BEARD TREATMENT SERUM

NATURAL FOLLIGRO™ COMPLEX

Nutrient-rich actives Loquat Leaf, Rosebay Extract, Larch Tree, Camellia Leaf Extract and Zinc work to dissolve build-up and help lock in moisture to prevent and treat dry, flaking, irritated scalps and beards.

What is Scalp Microneedling?

Microneedling helps support the skin’s natural rejuvenation response. As the tiny needles (MicroTips™) painlessly glide over the scalp, vertical micro-channels are created that awaken the scalp, encouraging rejuvenation and micro-circulation; they also enhance the benefits of targeted topicals applied directly after use. The result is thicker-looking, stronger hair from root to tip.

How often can I use GloPRO®? Do I have to use it at night?

For best results, GloPRO® should be used at least 2-3 times a week, however it can be used daily. We recommend using the GloPRO® FACE, EYE and BODY Attachments at night as skin naturally regenerates during a normal sleep cycle. However, GloPRO® SCALP and LIP Attachments may be used in the AM and PM.

Medical Diagnosis App

0

Medical diagnosis refers to the interpretation of the symptoms experienced by an individual to determine the possible illness they may have. A diagnostic app aims to do just that: you enter the symptoms you’re experiencing – say high temperature, pain, nausea, etc., and it will make use of intelligent algorithms, AI, and machine learning to identify your possible health condition almost instantaneously! Some apps even suggest treatments, like the kind of diet you need to follow, specific exercises or rest needed, and so on. This is technology working to put affordable and accessible healthcare in your hands.

The Perfect Portable Diagnostics Tool:

We carry our smartphones everywhere we go – to work, parties, family get-togethers, the movies, the beach, and some of us, even to the toilet! The Smartphone is a virtual extension of our self. Just like the tagline used by American Express, we ‘Never Leave Home Without It’. And the ‘we’ is an estimated 5 billion people worldwide – that’s a whopping number by any standards.

Smartphones are becoming increasingly powerful and user-friendly, and are packed with numerous sensors, extending their potential applications; the emergence of Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing has significantly amplified this potential. Today they simplify a plethora of routine tasks with the help of different apps; shopping, dining, travel planning, payments and a whole lot more. It only makes sense, therefore to have apps that will also help us in healthcare.

Benefits of Mobile Diagnostics Apps:

Inexpensive And Instant Point-of-Care

Being portable, smartphone-based diagnostic tools and apps can be taken to where the patient is rather than getting the patient to a lab. This is extremely valuable in remote areas where access to quality healthcare is a major problem. Often, simple, inexpensive attachments can provide accurate diagnoses comparable to conventional tools that are usually expensive, and time-consuming too.

Most symptoms of bronchitis last for up to 2 weeks. The cough can last for up to 8 weeks in some people. Chronic bronchitis lasts a long time. It is more common among smokers.

It may also be caused by a bacterial infection, or by physical or chemical agents that are breathed in. These may include dusts, allergens, and strong fumes, including those from chemical cleaning compounds or tobacco smoke.

Acute bronchitis may come after a common cold or other viral infections in the upper respiratory tract. It may also occur in people with chronic sinusitis, allergies, or those with enlarged tonsils and adenoids. It can be serious in people with lung or heart diseases. Pneumonia is a complication that can follow bronchitis.

What are the symptoms acute bronchitis?

The following are the most common symptoms of acute bronchitis. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

Intraoral Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

0

Signifier Medical Technologies, a company with headquarters in London, UK, and Massachusetts, has created a new treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and it is the first to be used during waking hours.

Unlike conventional sleep apnea devices, the eXciteOSA is designed to be used for short periods during the day and employs electrical stimulation to improve tongue muscle function, helping keep the airway open during sleep. It was recently authorized for sale by the FDA.

Sleep apnea involves airway obstruction during sleep and can have a variety of serious consequences, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. In many people the condition is undiagnosed, but for those who are aware of their condition, there are effective treatments available.

Conventional treatments typically involve continuous pressure applied to the airway through a face mask. While this works well, some users find that this disrupts their sleep, and it isn’t a good fit for everyone. This inspired the eXciteOSA device, which is applied to the tongue for 20 minutes each day for a total of six weeks, and then twice per week thereafter.

Our Vision

We aspire to revolutionize the sleep market with novel and ground-breaking products that will help solve the conditions of snoring and mild sleep apnoea, making a real impact on the lives of millions of people globally, in an area with a significant unmet medical need.

Driving Innovation in the Sleep Market

Signifier Medical Technologies (SMT) is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative and non-invasive solutions for patients with snoring and sleep-disordered breathing conditions.

Signifier Medical Pioneers in challenging the wisdom of conventional snoring and sleep apnoea treatments, we’ve created the first daytime therapy that tackles the root cause of sleep-disordered breathing by physiologically retraining the airway against collapse.
