Name: Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Pro+
Brand: Michael Todd Beauty

Who is the Sonicsmooth Pro+ for, and who should skip it?

The Michael Todd Beauty Sonicsmooth Pro+ is an at-home dermaplaning kit. It uses a powered, vibrating handle to shave off peach fuzz and loosen dead skin. It's a good fit if you already dermaplane every few weeks or book the treatment with an esthetician, if makeup sits badly on facial hair or rough texture, or if you want one kit that also handles brow cleanup.

You can probably skip it if you only want a smooth base a few times a year. A basic manual dermaplaning razor does the core job, and this kit's main advantages (powered blades, speed settings, a light and extra attachments) matter most when you use them often. People with active acne, rosacea, open irritation or a sensitive-skin diagnosis should check with a dermatologist before using any blade-based exfoliation tool.

What sets it apart from a basic dermaplaning razor?

Most drugstore options are plain handles with a fixed blade. The Sonicsmooth Pro+ adds four things:

Sonic motion with 3 speeds. You can start slow on delicate areas like the upper lip and turn it up for the cheeks and jawline.
Diamond exfoliation tips. These are separate from the blades and are meant for exfoliation without the shaving step.
An LED light. In our video review, we found the light to be one of the more useful features. It shows fine hairs and texture you'd otherwise miss, especially along the jawline, where bathroom lighting tends to be poor.
An eyebrow trimmer. It runs on its own AAA battery (included), so brow cleanup can happen in the same routine.

The package also includes what Michael Todd Beauty calls a 16-week supply of single-use dermaplaning blades. The listing doesn't give the blade count, so check the box contents to see how many blades that is and how often the brand expects you to swap them.

Which specs matter, and what do they mean day to day?

Battery life: up to 3 hours of cordless use. Sessions usually take a few minutes, so a full charge should last many sessions between top-ups.
Initial charge: 12 hours. Plan for this before your first use. You can't unbox it and start the same evening.
Charging: USB rechargeable. The listing doesn't say what kind of port the device uses or whether a wall adapter is included, so check the contents if you want to charge it from your own cables.
Brow trimmer power: 1 AAA battery, included. It's a disposable battery, so you'll replace it eventually.
Package: 7.24 x 4.61 x 2.72 inches, 11.99 ounces. That weight includes the packaging. The brand says the device is safe to pack in carry-on luggage. In our video review, we noted the handle is about the size of a compact electric razor, which makes it easy to fit in a toiletry bag.
Warranty: 3-year limited. That's longer than most beauty devices in this category.

The listing doesn't give motor speeds in vibrations per minute, blade material or water resistance. If you plan to rinse the head under the tap, confirm the care instructions first.

What do owners and our own review say?

The device holds a 4.2-star average from more than 2,100 Amazon ratings. It also ranks #2 in Microdermabrasion Devices and in the top 4,300 across Beauty & Personal Care. Those numbers show broad satisfaction, but they're not flawless. A meaningful share of buyers had a less positive experience, so read the recent critical reviews on the listing for patterns such as charging problems or blade fit.

In our video review, the diamond tips and LED light made the tool feel more precise than a standard dermaplaning razor, and the three speeds gave real control. We also noted a learning curve. Like any dermaplaning tool, it takes a few sessions to get the angle and short, gliding strokes right. The brand recommends starting on clean, dry skin and not applying makeup right after a session.

What are the limitations and trade-offs?

Ongoing blade costs. The blades are single-use. After the included supply runs out, you'll need replacements. Check that compatible refills are sold and in stock before you commit.
Slow first setup. The 12-hour initial charge is long for a small device.
Some marketing claims go beyond what shaving can do. The listing says the tool reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Exfoliation can make skin look smoother and help makeup sit better, but it doesn't treat wrinkles, so set your expectations accordingly.
Two power sources. The main handle recharges, but the brow trimmer runs on a AAA battery.

How does it compare with the alternatives?

Shoppers usually weigh three options. Manual dermaplaning razors cost the least and get the job done, but they have no light, no speed control and no exfoliation attachment. Other powered dermaplaning tools offer a similar sonic approach, so compare battery life, the cost and availability of replacement blades, and warranty length. On warranty, the Sonicsmooth Pro+'s 3-year coverage stands out. Professional dermaplaning from an esthetician gives expert results with no learning curve, but you pay per visit and have to book appointments. If you go regularly, an at-home kit like this one can replace some of those visits.

Is the Sonicsmooth Pro+ worth it?

For people who dermaplane regularly, yes, with a few caveats. The three speeds, LED light, diamond tips, included brow trimmer and 3-year warranty make it a more complete kit than a manual razor. The 4.2-star rating from over 2,100 owners suggests most buyers are satisfied. The trade-offs are the single-use blade system, a long first charge and some overstated marketing claims. If you only need occasional peach fuzz removal, a simpler tool will do. Score: 7.3/10. Worth it for frequent at-home users.
