Dermaplaner

There are two pieces to replace when you refill your Dermaplaner tool: the blade, and the blade guard.

Your tool comes with your first blade guard already installed. You simply need to unwrap a fresh blade and install that.

Don’t discard any of the items located under the tool in the packaging. We include 2 replacement blades, 1 replacement blade guard, and 1 precision clip. These are all important. Refills are available when you’re ready to restock, and replacement Precision

Clips are available if you lose yours.

LOADING THE FIRST BLADE:

1. Thumb the head open, unwrap a blade, and insert it *between* the flaps of the blade guard. This is very important: do not simply lay the blade on top of the blade guard and close the head... insert the blade *between* the flaps of the blade guard. If you need a visual, please watch the above videos so that you understand how to correctly load the blade.

2. Push the blade forward once it’s between the flaps of the blade guard and press it down from the back. This will be a tight, friction fit. This forces the edge of the blade hard up against the inside of the scallops of the blade guard.

3. The blade’s edge will be completely encompassed by the blade guard’s scallops, it will not be fully exposed on either side.

4. When you’re ready to refill your tool, reach behind the blade and push it forward while pulling up, it will pop out, it may take some effort to release from the friction fit.

5. Then turn the dermaplaner tool over and use a coin or other thin object to push out the blade guard. Place the used blade and blade guard in your Recycling Tin.

6. Install a new blade guard by inserting the short leg of the guard through the slot from inside the dermaplaner head. Friction will hold it in place.

7. Finally, unwrap and load a fresh blade, close the head, and enjoy.

Dermaplaning at home is a skincare technique where you use a sharp, guarded blade to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your face. This exfoliation process aims to leave the skin smoother and brighter. It’s important tot follow proper hygiene and safety guidelines to avoid irritation or cuts. And to keep in mind contraindications.

PREPARATION:

1. Remove makeup and skincare products prior to dermaplaning.

2. Thoroughly clean your face’s skin with a non-exfoliating cleanser.

3. Apply a small amount of Shave Oil to your skin this will help the blade glide.

DERMAPLANING:

1. Bring the tool to your skin: Hold your skin taut behind the tool. Place the blade at a 45° angle against your skin.

2. Begin dermaplaning: Use light pressure and move in short, feathery strokes. Start high on your cheekbone and move inward / down along your cheek and jawline.

3. Address areas of concern: Continue along your forehead moving downward. Use above your lip and along your chin as desired. Avoid use on your nose. Rinse or wipe the blade throughout use and most importantly take your time.

AFTER CARE:

When you’re finished, rinse your skin and apply Calming Serum for a layer of protection and soothing. Avoid direct sunlight immediately after dermaplaning and consider use of a SPF. Avoid chemical exfoliation products immediately after dermaplaning.

Rinse your tool thoroughly. Remove the blade and rinse the blade, disinfecting it with a wipe of rubbing alcohol. Rinse and disinfect the blade-guard while keeping it in the tool. Re-load the blade for next use, unless you are refilling it with a fresh blade and guard. Don’t use your blade and guard more than three times—prioritizing fresh and clean tools when working with your face’s skin.

CARING FOR YOUR DERMAPLANER:

Leaf Dermaplaner is built to last. A little routine care will keep it performing at its best.

DURING:

While using Dermaplaner, keep the edges clear of hair and skin cells as needed. Either gently wipe on a soft cloth or run quickly under water.

AFTER:

After you finish using Dermaplaner, remove the blade, rinse and dry it. With the head of the tool flipped open, rinse water through the blade-guard from within the tool. If desired, you can disinfect the blade and blade-guard with rubbing alcohol.

You can reinstall the blade for next use if you're using the same blade next time. If you're using a fresh blade next time, leave your tool empty until then, or unwrap a fresh blade and install that.

LONG-TERM CARE:

Periodically, as needed, give your tool a deeper clean. We suggest using an old-toothbrush that has been designated as your 'razor cleaning toothbrush.'

First, remove any blade and blade-guard that is installed into your tool.

Then, apply a small amount of dish soap onto the toothbrush. Mixing with water, scrub the tool all over, in all the nooks and crannies. Remove any residue that may be left over from use.

Dry using a soft-cloth or towel. Reinstall a fresh blade-guard and blade for your next use.

Please consult your dermatologist if you ever have questions about whether using an at-home tool like this is a good fit. Potential contraindications can include:

❌ History of skin irritation
❌ Rosacea
❌ Active acne
❌ Eczema
❌ Psoriasis
❌ Active sunburn

Use each blade and blade-guard up to three times before refilling your tool.

Before using your Dermaplaner, read through all instructions carefully, and watch all the videos closely.

Exercise caution when handling blades, loading blades, and using the razor. The blades are sharp and may cause injury if not loaded and used properly. You should not use the razor if you are unable to safely load and handle the blades.

Please keep the Dermaplaner and blades out of reach of children.

Do not use the Dermaplaner unless both the blade and the blade-guard are properly installed. To understand how both of these refillable items are properly installed, review these instructions and watch the instructional videos below.

If you need support of any kind, or if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to support@leafshave.com and discontinue use of your tool until your issue is resolved.

Use only as directed.
