Summary

Dara Levy invented the category of at-home dermaplaning with DERMAFLASH. Obsessed with the instant, transformative results of medical dermaplaning, Dara opened an entire med spa in Chicago built around her signature DERMAFLASH™ dermaplaning facial. Performed with a surgical scalpel, the treatment removes dead skin cells, built-up residue, and peach fuzz—revealing a layer of skin that’s smoother, brighter and younger-looking. Five years and 6,000 dermaplaning facials later, Dara had an epiphany. Realizing the need to make the treatment more accessible and affordable, she invented the first ever, at-home dermaplaning device. DERMAFLASH and, more recently, DERMAPORE have revolutionized skincare by empowering people to uncover their best skin without leaving home.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support Support the show

0:40.5	get started by talking about your your background and your career and just what really inspired you to
0:46.6	create your first device. Well, it's been a real journey to be honest with you. But I have always
0:57.0	been a skincare junkie. Yeah. And I, you know, I got I was really tired to be honest of going from
1:07.2	place to place to get a facial in the back of a of a beauty shop in the Botox at a plastic surgeon
1:15.6	and derma planning at a dermatologist and, you know, everything else from place to place. It was
1:22.3	exhausting. Yeah. So in 2009, I actually opened a very high end medspon Chicago. Oh, yeah. So without
1:35.9	knowing it, I was really doing research right during that whole time. But before I opened my door,
1:43.8	my doors, I decided that derma planning was going to be the foundation of everything we did at my
1:49.2	spa because I had been an avid derma planner for years. And I knew how it just made everything
1:56.7	better. It made all services work better, all products work more effectively. And I wanted to
2:03.1	start every treatment with derma planning. I trademarked our derma planning treatment, derma
