We’ve gotten this question from some new LUXE+ customers, and we want to make sure there’s no confusion. The short answer is: No, you should not reuse an old MicroFine Edge. It’s essential to load a fresh Edge into your LUXE+ Sonic Dermaplaning device every time. Curious about why? We thought you might be! Keep reading to find out why using a fresh Edge is key to getting the best results and keeping your skin smooth, glowing and fuzz-free.
Your Skin Deserves a Clean Start Every Time
Reusing an Edge—even one that looks perfectly fine—can reintroduce bacteria to your skin and dull the precision that makes your LUXE+ device so effective at removing peach fuzz and dead skin. Here’s why: When you Flash, your Edge picks up vellus hair, dead skin cells, and buildup. This debris can harbor bacteria—and if you Flash with an Edge you’ve already used, you run the risk of reintroducing that bacteria right back onto your skin.
“Think about it this way," says Dara Levy, DERMAFLASH’s founder. "You wouldn’t eat this Sunday’s dinner on last Sunday’s unwashed dinner plate, would you? So always use a fresh, clean Edge for your weekly Flash.”
A Fresh Edge Means Ultimate Precision + Safety
Regular razor blades don’t have any specialized safety features, and they tend to glide unevenly: skipping and tugging across your skin, which leads directly to nicks and scrapes. The LUXE+ Sonic Dermaplaning device and its patented MicroFine Edge work in a completely different (and much safer) way.
-
The MicroFine Edge features a custom engineered, proprietary Safety Cage that protects your skin from cuts and scrapes.
-
The high-level sonic vibration (14K sonic vibrations per minute) allows the Edge to glide effortlessly across your skin—gently exfoliating and removing peach fuzz without nicks, cuts, or irritation.
A used Edge doesn't glide the same way. Over even one use, an Edge picks up buildup that changes how it moves against your skin, and that subtle shift is enough to compromise the light, feathery strokes LUXE+ is designed to deliver.
The bottom line: For ultimate precision, comfort and safety, always use a new Edge every time.
It's Part of the Ritual, Not an Extra Step
Using a fresh MicroFine Edge isn't an inconvenience—it's built into your weekly LUXE+ ritual. After cleansing with PREFLASH to remove oil and temporarily tighten skin, you load a new Edge, hold your device at a 45° angle, hold your skin taut, and Flash using short, feathery strokes. That's it. One Edge, one Flash session, once a week for smooth, fuzz-free, glowing results.
The Takeaway
A fresh MicroFine Edge is a best practice for a clean, effective Flash that leaves your skin glowing, fuzz-free, and perfectly primed to absorb your skincare.
Every Edge is designed for single use for a reason: to protect your skin's microbiome, deliver the smooth glide LUXE+ is known for, and keep your results consistent week after week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a new MicroFine Edge every time I Flash?
Yes. A fresh Edge prevents bacteria from being reintroduced to your skin and ensures the smooth, precise glide LUXE+ is designed to deliver.
Will reusing an Edge cause breakouts?
Dermaplaning itself does not cause breakouts. But skipping proper skin prep or reusing an Edge can reintroduce bacteria to the skin, which is why a fresh Edge every time is essential.
How often should I Flash with LUXE+?
We recommend Flashing once a week to maintain smooth, radiant, fuzz-free skin without over-exfoliating.
What's the correct way to use a MicroFine Edge?
Cleanse with PREFLASH Cleanser first, then load a fresh MicroFine Edge into your LUXE+ device. Hold your device at a 45° angle and use your other hand to gently hold your skin taut. Then, Flash using short, feathery strokes.
