If you’ve been squeezing, picking, or suffering through painful extractions, there’s a better way. DERMAPORE+ is designed to give you painless extractions with zero irritation—unlike harsh pore scrapers, which can leave you with scarring or skin damage. Here’s how to use DERMAPORE+ to get the clear, smooth skin you deserve,
Step 1: Start with Clean Skin
Before you use DERMAPORE+, make sure your face is freshly cleansed. You want to start with clean, damp skin—not dry. The moisture on your skin’s surface is actually essential to how the ultrasonic technology works: it creates a thin layer of liquid that allows the stainless-steel spatula to glide smoothly and the vibrations to penetrate effectively into your pores.
Step 2: Mist on DERMAPORE+ PREP MIST
This step is a game-changer. Formulated with gentle exfoliants and soothing botanical extracts, PREP MIST works like a “liquid facial steamer” to soften clogs and “melt” blackheads and built-up debris, so it’s easier to extract.
Generously mist DERMAPORE+ PREP MIST over your clean, damp face before you begin—and reapply it throughout your treatment as needed. You want your skin to remain wet the entire time.
Pro tip: Post-shower is an ideal time to use DERMAPORE+. While it’s a myth that warm water “opens” pores (your pores don’t open and close like doors), the steam from a warm shower does soften skin and makes extractions even easier.
Step 3: Use Extract Mode to Clear Your Pores
Once you’ve thoroughly misted your skin, press your DERMAPORE+ device once for Extract Mode. Use your free hand to hold your skin taut and use your other hand to hold the tip of the spatula at a 45° angle against your skin. Glide it slowly across congested areas—your nose, chin, forehead, anywhere else you notice blackheads or buildup. Let the device do the work: you don’t need to press hard.
Here’s what’s happening under the surface: DERMAPORE+ runs at 35,000 Hz—the highest ultrasonic speed on the market. Those high-frequency vibrations gently loosen the pore-clogging debris, oil and dead skin cells that are trapped inside your pores. At the same time, the stainless-steel spatula is charged with positive ions that act like a “magnet” to attract and draw out dirt, oil and debris.
Step 4: Switch to Infuse Mode to Improve Skincare Penetration
This is the step most people don’t know about—and it’s what makes DERMAPORE+ a true 2-in-1 must-have. After you’ve extracted, use an alcohol wipe to clean the gunk off the spatula. Apply your favorite serum, moisturizer or treatment, press twice to activate Infuse Mode, and glide the flat part of the spatula over your face.
In Infuse Mode, the ultrasonic vibrations create a gentle micro-massage sensation while the ionic technology helps to “push” active ingredients more deeply into the skin. Your serums and treatments penetrate further and work more effectively than they would applied by hand alone. Think of it as supercharging every product in your skincare routine.
People Also Ask
Does ultrasonic pore extraction actually work?
Yes. Ultrasonic pore extraction is clinically proven to unclog pores. The technology works by combining two mechanisms: 35,000 Hz ultrasonic vibrations that gently loosen and dislodge pore-clogging debris, and ionic technology that uses positively charged ions to attract and draw out dirt and oil. Unlike pore strips or manual extraction, which can damage the skin barrier and cause redness, ultrasonic extraction is painless and suitable for all skin types. In clinical testing, 97% of users had a significant reduction in pore size and 97% had measurably less oily skin immediately after a single use.
How often should I use DERMAPORE+?
DERMAPORE+ can be used as needed to keep pores clear. Because it uses ultrasonic vibrations and ionic technology rather than physical pressure or harsh chemicals, it doesn’t strip or stress the skin barrier the way manual extractions or harsh exfoliants can. That said, if your skin is on the more sensitive side, start with once a week and see how your skin responds. If your skin is oily, you’ll most likely need to use it more often. Infuse Mode can be used daily to boost the absorption of your serums and treatments.
What’s the difference between DERMAPORE+ and a pore vacuum?
Pore vacuums use suction to pull debris from pores, which can cause broken capillaries, bruising and irritation—especially on sensitive or thinner skin. DERMAPORE+ works differently and more gently. Its 35,000 Hz ultrasonic vibrations loosen congestion without any suction or pressure, while ionic technology draws out impurities using an ionic charge rather than force. The result is a more thorough, more comfortable extraction without the risk of the skin trauma that pore vacuums can cause.
Can I use water if I don’t have PREP MIST?
You can use water and/or a facial steamer if you don’t have any PREP MIST on hand, but for best results, we recommend always using PREP MIST with your DERMAPORE+ device. PREP MIST works like a “facial steamer in a bottle” to soften clogs and prep skin for easy extractions. If you choose to use water, make sure your skin stays wet the entire time!
