As an Indian with dark skin, I really appreciate this video. It’s so hard to talk about skin concerns, here in India doctors don’t consult their patients properly neither do they give clean instructions on post treatment care, they just hand out some creams and tell you to stay healthy. I’ve been suffering from deep acne scars for most of my adult life. I’ll take your suggestions into consideration and see if anything changes. Thank you
Thank you so much for acknowledging & teaching about skin of color. RUclips tends to focus on one type. So thank you again for those of us with the blessed melanin.
@@Better_Call_Raul They mean chemical exfoliation, where you use acids lile AHA'd and BHA's instead of scrubs, brushes, facecloths etc. As for which ones are best to use, this is what my dermatologist told me when I was dealing woth hyperpigmentation, if that's your concern. Lactic acid - max 7% Mandelic acid - max 10% Glycolic acid - max 5% , not the best exfoliator though as its a bit weak but it is great for driving actives deep into skin but avoid this with retinol as it will cause irritation Sailicylic acid - 2% generally Please note that all the above was made with more sensitive skin in mind and was chosen with the hope of MINIMAL burns from chemical exfoliation as most acids can make it worse. These may take more time but do have less risk. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video! I'm currently battling cystic acne, but I'm already planning my plan of action for scars, since I can't currently afford to see a specialist. Amazing doctors like you make it easy for people like me to treat their skin issues. Hope you're enjoying your holidays, Dr. Lim!
@ I have been dairy free for about 3 months before (due to another unrelated issue) and it didn't seem to help... Do you know if it takes longer to see changes if that is the issue? I just love dairy, lol Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate any help I can get.

@@TheSnakeh I do know if you have hormonal acne (like I do) dairy definitely makes it worse. To see results faster you’ll have to eat healthier overall and cut out all types of dairy. Even chips, whey protein and miscellaneous items that contain milk proteins, have to go.
@ Yup, chips definitely make it worse, I've found. I've improved my diet overall, but still include dairy. Gonna have to start getting plant milks now and the like... Thanks!
Can you do a video for Acne Scars from Cystic Acne (a few deep depressions), not terrible. I had fillers, botox, fat transplant (take the fat from my thigh, and put into my face, it came out great), two laser treatments and I did UltraTherapy (it puts collagen back into your face), and I did my neck too. I had acne marks at 21, I’m 57 and no one believe’s my age (I have to show my license). Keep the video’s coming, it’s a very hard situation to suffer from Acne. Stacey NYC
Excellent video! The best explanation I have ever seen... Ethnic skin produces more melanin. That explains why I tan easily. But why is it that my tan eventually fades away whereas the pigment melanin changes from acne inflammation (from over 20 years ago) still remains?
Hi Dr Davin, I am doing PhD in UQ, and taking isotretinoin for nearly 4 months, my medical dermatologist told me after I take enough amount of isotretinoin based on my weight he will recommend me to your clinic for scar revision! I am very happy with the current acne treatment and I am sure that I will also get great results from yours! Thanks for your videos!
For much more content & in depth explanations of cases goto Instagram @101.skin I update this IG account daily. Video reviewing scar revision procedures pertaining to darker skin types. I have covered some new topics in this video, as a response to many FAQs. 1. The role of devices (how they are important in some cases, but how experienced specialists can work around limitations. 2. Variability of responses based upon biology & physiology 3. The role of dermal fillers. Thanks for watching. Davin Lim. Dermatologist, Brisbane. Australia.
Thank you so much for the information, I live in Melbourne and I really wanted to go at your clinic. My face is heavy with atrophic scarring and dreaming one day someone will give me the best treatment. Saving some money to visit your place soon. For now, I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep safe and be healthy always.
Your range of knowledge is brilliant. So interesting to listen to. I really wish you were in my country, could really use a more professional opinion. Good work 👍🏾
If an Asian has really bad hyperpigmentation AND atrophic acne scarring, would phenol peels be a solution? I know it's against the norm but I read a study by Dr. Rullan that suggested there were no adverse effects if precautions were taken pre and post-op. Thank you, Dr . Lim!
Frankly the best and most helpful video for people looking to and decide on what type of treatments they want to go for...great job ....thanks a lot for putting these up
Any dermatologist in the U.S that you recommend? Specifically Florida. Also, could you make a video on pre and post care for microneedling in ethnic skin.
Thank for caring for darker skin to do a video..ot so hard to get even skin and back to the tone of your youth..naturally..bleaching creams r dangerous..it must be something that is natural to lighten the whole body 3 shade lighter that is naturally safe..tumeric and aloevera n apple cidar fixed my dark spots.and sunburn..i had..can u do a natural skin lightning video for darker tones..if u know any please..thank u.n your skin is perfect your amazing
Hello Mr Dr Davin Lim i live in the USA i have skin type 4 do have any recomendations of top Dermatologist in the USA for darker skin type. You sound like you know your field quite well i want to make sure i get the right dermatologist to not mess up my skin just to fix some acne scars. BTW you earned a subscriber
Very informative. I have a lot of scarring plus sebaceous hyperplasia and was considering laser treatment. Thank you for all your videos and Merry Christmas to you and your family! :)
Hello Dr.Lim! It is a very informative video. By the way do u have any suggestion for any active ingredients you use. or any other procedures aside except lasers? like what you said treatment to minimize collateral damage. Thanks!
I live in south Florida. Can you recommend a doctor who can treat my acne scars. Someone who understands black skin. I have boxcar, rolling and ice pick scars.
Hi Dr Lim, I've asked this question on another video, but thought I'd try my luck here for a response. My beauty therapist sold me a dermal roller that is 0.3mm. Is this bad for me to use? I don't put much pressure at all when using it.
Hey Dr. Lim. Does ingrown hair scarring classify as acne scarring, or is it different? I had relatively smooth skin until my bread grew in, and now I have scarring in that area.
doctor, but what changes subcision, laser, prp detached from each other rather than combined at the same time? thanks if you answer ... it will be useful to understand this for me.
Question: I get pitted scars from acne. If I get subcision done, like I got all the 6-8 sessions done and I see 75 percent revision, can I get more sessions done again maybe a year later?
I have dermal and subdermal atrophy not as much as showing in your picture. But would u suggest me to do VIVACI ? 3 sessions I’d have to pay 1950$ it’s a lot of money for me if it want work.. or just tca cross ?
Excellent video! Thank you!! I had no acne until I got on dialysis at 34 now it's horrific and I have dark spots. I'm wearing mask alone in my car due to embarrassment please help!!
What could be a rash that has made your face red and irritated (sun makes it worse) so does any type of heat or sweating??!! And Spread to your hands on the knuckles and web of your fingers, and make your eyes red in the inner corners??!!! I’ve had this for a month now. I’ve never had a problem like this everrr!!
Doctor, you’ve said in a previously video, you don’t Like that much the 1064 picoway head. I’ve melasma and dark spots from acne, wich head of picoway should I need?
How do I get ahold of u ? I so want u to do my face ! Pleaseeeee haha ... I’ve had deep scars since I was 13 y.o. and I’m 34 now But live in the US lol ... this has always haunted me .... not many drs like u over here ... it seems like u know what the heck ur talking about ! And I would totally pay to come see u ... I hope u somehow someway respond to me so I can get some help .. I wear makeup to minimize the look of the scars but I want to remove the scars all together ! Please respond I’m so desperate !!! 😥😥😥😥😥😥
Oof, gotta admit I cringed at 15:42 🤢 Eeek! But thank you for the informative video! I’m in the process of researching some derms in my area for consultations and what treatments they can offer/recommend.
@@blobbins17 I’ve studied under her in her practice, she knows her stuff. People need to realize what’s on social media is only a tiny slice of what doctors/derms actually know lol.
Thank you for this video! I have skin type 4 and I'm going to have the pebble stone scarring on my nose treated using electrocautery and mixto C02 laser with a really good specialist known for his work in the Los Angeles area. My derm has not mentioned anything about steroid injections. Would steroid injections be more cost-effective?
Hey dr. Can u do an updated video about how to treat/eliminate chicken pox scars? some of your videos about this are very old and would be great to know what are your thoughts as of now..
Scar can be BOTH contour and color issue, correct? Video says it is EITHER one of the other. But I see many scars that are both pitted/depressed AND hyperpigmented.
Thank you for the information. I have been researching this brand Banish 2.0, which uses a 0.5 MM Needle stamp and Vitamin C Oil/Cream for Acne scars. I have indented scars and terrible texture, it is confusing and scary. I will go for 0.25 now, I had one question - do I need to apply Vitamin C serum after that? I don't react well to most of the products out there, planning to do a small test first. Can micro roller alone sufficient?
I’m Asian and I have a surgical scar on the body. So if I do a laser scar remover will if the scar wound up being darker instead of lighting? I’m scared now.
