I really want to use my LED face mask, but now I'm scared, because I'm seeing these reports of people getting eye damage from them. How can you effectively protect your eyes? The goggles that came with the mask are so uncomfortable, to the point that they feel like they could be damaging the eyes in and of themselves.
Dr. Youn, I think I saw you perform an Upper Blepharoplasty on The Doctors. The patient had trouble seeing because of his upper eyelids and after you did the operation, it made all the difference in the world and his vision was no longer impaired. Those kind of procedures is why I find plastic surgery really fascinating.
@@DoctorYoun I know it was awhile ago but I still watch it on RUclips every once in awhile because I found that particular procedure so satisfying. It is amazing that a small surgery can have such an impact on the quality of someone's life.
My father had the same surgery on his eyelids. He had a the same condition that Aristotle Onassis had, but I don’t remember the name of it and his insurance covered it.
I had it done about 21 years ago. The insurance paid because my eyesight was so bad. My youngest grand children thaought I was blind. Lol I am getting a little droop now, at 73 years old but vision is still 20/20. Just need reading glasses.
@@DoctorYounI need to have this surgery but I vape, doctor said you need to give up at least 6 months before the surgery and after you should not. If I can give up, I would go for it tomorrow.

I do microneedling (at home & thru my Esthetician),red/nir light (I have a large panel at home), I use Retin A 6 days a week & I USE SUNSCREEN EVERYDAY WHETHER I’M INSIDE OR OUT😂! Those have made a HUUGE DIFFERENCE. I’m 54 & I get more compliments on my skin now than I did 5 years ago😂
I've struggled with wrinkles and uneven skin tone for years. My dermatologist recommended trying red light therapy, so I decided to give it a shot with a panel from Future Form Official. To my surprise, it's been incredibly effective. The panel was affordably priced, which was a relief. After incorporating it into my skincare routine, I've noticed my skin looks much smoother and the fine lines have softened significantly. There’s a lot of scientific research supporting red light therapy, and I’m really grateful for the information shared here. Thanks, Dr. Youn, for highlighting these alternatives!
I must say you are a very enlightened medical professional. You exude honesty, knowledge, common sense and you suggest great recommendations. Your skin is really nice as well so it shows you are probably using your own brand. I enjoy the calm demeanour you portray and just how much you care about people. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I had to do a medically necessary upper blepharoplasty due to how much excess skin i had on the area. I honestly had so much that I was shocked by the end result.
Extremely dry skin here, always have had this type of skin, since I was a wee child. Age 3 our family internist told mom to use Nivea's blue tin on my skin on top of some sweet almond oil, which you could get by the 100ml from the pharmacy. Still using the blue tin today, age (almost) 52 and it now serves as my "final layer"; I have to keep using it, it is that good! I have replaced the sweet almond oil with a couple other items, a retinol (once a week), a hyaluronic acid serum on the daily, and off and on Neutrogena's retinol booster cream and a couple other plain hyaluronic acid moisturizers + the vit. C serum in silicone (The Ordinary; sadly discontinued; top notch and baby butt smooth). I have to layer, other people think I'm crazy to do so, but if I don't, my skin is just kaput. But all of this works *extremely* well for me! Profile picture was taken just last year. Don't think I'm doing too badly. ;)
I have done the same with the Nivea it's so thick that I had a little coconut oil to it. I've also tried the softer Nivea cream. You might want to try that but I also use it with a little bit of coconut oil. Great stuff
@@nadineavellani673 The "soft creme" is way too light for me. My mom has normal skin and *can* use it no problem. My skin is *far far too dry* for this one.
I did minimal dysport injections every 4-6 months for about 2-3 years. After a couple of years I noticed my forehead started to lose muscle tone and look old and misshapen. Now I realize why people who get Botox eventually still look old just with smooth skin. Which tbh looks more creepy than just looking old. Now I stick to laser, Microneedling, face massage, tretinoin, diet, and lots of laughter. I also find that sleep and hydration have a huge impact on how youthful I look.
I’ve been using tretinoin for 16 years. I’m 54 now, not a wrinkle in site. I’m sure gene’s have something to do with it, but my derm told me when I started on it, that I’d thank him when I got older and I do.
@@amalberry2090 wow 16yrs is a long time but that’s brilliant you started younger! I’m 56 and thankfully got good genes too but I do have wrinkles under my eyes when I smile or laugh but the 2yrs I’ve been on Tret they have diminished greatly. It’s brilliant stuff. I just wish I’d started the same time as you as I bet you have amazing skin now🤩
Thank you! I wish I knew about thread lifts earlier. It was such a painful procedure for me and I did not see any difference in my face, except swollen face for a week.. I already talked out some of my friends to do it after my experience. And now I see I was right!!
I’ve had to use tretinoin since being a teenager and I’m close to 30 now, but haven’t really aged all that much. I’ve had acne issues this entire time, but I look much younger than people my age. My face is super smooth and cleared up now.
I wondered if tretinoin would be on the list. I started using it 3 years ago and, my god, the results are amazing, I can never go back. I started using it because of very oily very acne prone skin (even in my late 20s), and it did solve that problem, but it also improved so much my skin overall in ways I wasn't even thinking about because I was so focused on the acne (and because my skin was very oily, the adaptation period was actually pretty ok). I hardly ever apply foundation anymore, I don't feel like I need it, whereas before I wouldn't go anywhere without foundation cause I was so self conscious about my skin. I can't be bothered with a overly complicated skin care routine, and for that tretinoin is amazing because it's one product you apply before bed and it does the most. Highly recommend anyone to discuss using it with their dermatologist.
I had microdermabrasion done for acne scars like 20 years ago. I did about 10 sessions. Scars weren’t very deep. I got great results. Also, there is a really affordable red light bulb available. I’m using it and it works
@DoctorYoun Thank you for great, informative, honest content as always. I appreciate your recommendations and tips. Love that you are getting more visibility so everyone can see your approach, work, and products. Have a blessed weekend!
@doctoryoun I would like to purchase red light devices for my face and one for my scalp (hairloss) and I really would love to know the right intensitiy/unit of measurement/wave for each treatment since some of the U.S. recommendations are not available in my country. love your content ❤
Thank you Dr Youn for your honest opinions ❤I’m so glad I stumbled upon your videos, I will share one that isn’t on your list for me anyways I go to my dermatologist and get my spots sprayed off with this can of I think its liquid nitrogen and it’s a godsend ! I get sprayed down every year for dark spots and lighter ones that I don’t like, they don’t even charge me except one time I did a bunch and it was like $150.. it stings, scabs and falls off I love it!
Thoughts on sofwave? I work at a med spa and the owner charges $2500 per treatment. Thread lifts cost pennies to purchase and what people charge is insane!
You forgot iv fluid therapy. I am a nurse at the hospital. I was so disappointed when my hospital started offering 300 dollar iv fluid therapy for beauty. I have given patients 1000s of bags of fluids. None look more beautiful after getting the fluids.
Hello- thank you for being honest about acne scarring, at 55 I have spent thousands of $ trying to remedy this.. each procedure gets better but at what point do I say enough… the struggle is real
I have a skin condition that requires Tretinoin, and my insurance stopped paying for it after I turned 40, even though my dermatologist argued vigorously on my behalf. It’s very expensive to get without insurance coverage, so I started using OTC Retinols and haven’t regretted it. There are some very good quality products easily available now.
@anarey-oktay2683 Have you tried using Single Care or Goodrx for tretinion cream? I bought Retin A 0.05% 45g tube for $31. The generic was a bit cheaper. Also, Retin A Micro .06 or 08% has a coupon.
@anarey-oktay2783 - I was able to get insurance to pay for it due to cystic bumps, brought on by perimenopause. My skin definitely got worse at that time, I just played up the frequency to get it covered.
My mom had the Upper Blepharoplasty because she couldn’t see. It was done by the Ophthalmologist, so the insurance would pay for it, even then that was a struggle. You really a difference looks wise, but she able to see better which is more important.
I wish you had mentioned that anyone taking medications that cause photosensitivity should not use red light devices. Also those with systemic lupus or lupus of the skin. Red light has the same effect as UV light and can be harmful in these cases.
@doctorYoun - I have the Omni lux LED red light therapy mask. Question for you - Do you feel this is good therapy for people that have had a full facelift or partial facelift? And if so, how quickly after the procedure do you think it is safe for them to use it?
Dermalux red light therapy is best/ as of its Patented Bulbs, or current body face mask is Good/ both can be bought through current body- however the Dermalux has 300 bulbs I Think √ Good luck- they All work better with a low weight copper peptide serum. & thin layer of hialuronic acid on top/ b4 treatment on Skin/ far faster result with any red led therapy! Dont use copper peptide ever with Vitamin C together!!/The Ordinary do copper peptide & low weight hialuronic acid- Safe & Cheap through of Equal Quality to Pricier brands√ Hope this helps you all for better Results.
BBL made brown spots worse with each treatment. Idk if it was the provider or my skin. Then I went to another doctor for microneedling with prp (vampire microneedling). 3 treatments got my skin clear.
I swear by IPL. I've had at least 6: 3 in my late 30s and another 3 in my mid 40s. In my 50s, I'm about to have another series of 2-3. It took about a decade off my age the first series of 3 I had done because I was a lifeguard in my teens, and when I was 37 my face looked 47 (especially since I was so thin). By the time I was 47, I looked 37. It took away every single sun spot in my 30s and just now, 20 years later, I'm starting to see a few more on my forehead. TIP: I wish I would have had the backs of my hands done in my late 30s or late 40s, but I had no sunspots at that time. I'm starting to get them now in my 50s. Make sure to do your neck and decolette, as well. Most derms will give you a better price if you do face/neck/decollette or hands all at the same time. ***make certain you get to a clinician or nurse who has considerable experience with IPL because in inexperienced hands, you will get MORE sun spots surfacing than you get rid of***
A deep Microdermabrasion many years ago completely smoothed my ice pick scars left by acne. I have worked hard to keep my skin smooth, using in office lasers, Microneedling, and good products like Retinol and Vitamin C with good sunscreen
I bought a red light therapy device - it also has infrared option - to lighten up the dark spots on my face. it’s melasma. I haven’t used the red light therapy or infrared light therapy on it yet because I’m not sure if it will worsen the melasma. Please advise.
I have been using red light for 5 years all over my body and I found I was getting more brown spots on my face using red light. My dermatologist said that this is a possible risk factor. Is this true because I liked the other effects the red light was giving to my face.
I too thought it was bringing out brown spots but everyone says the opposite, I’m so glad you noticed it too because I’m occasionally tempted to try again, then I read what you wrote and think no don’t do it. Thanks
@@rhonda6791 You are most welcome Love, I too keep giving it a go and still notice it because I have a face red light device but it has other lights as well on it so I just don't use the red light anymore. Castor oil has been helping with my scars from skin cancer and dark spots - can't say enough about the stuff as I have been using functional medicine since the 80's to heal my body. The body knows how to heal itself if our microbiome is healthy and it is at it's best :)
If you’re in California, please make sure that the medical treatments are being done by a medical professional. Estheticians are not permitted to provide medical services, but they do all the time. They are also not trained adequately to handle complications.
The Red Light Therapy went short in this Video. Not all Red Light Devices are working because it really depends on the radiation length of the light. Different strengths have different results. Going for a cheap device bought off of Amazon isnt gonna do anything.
I think there is a misconception between red light therapy and infrared light therapy. The latter is way deeper than the former because it works up to the cells and can stimulate the mitochondria whereas the red lights only stays inside the dermis.
Dr Shereene Idriss recommends (and gets) Undereye PRP 203x a year. I've started getting it twice a year as well as doing at home microneedling with a Dr Pen and it has really helped me!
@DoctorYoun Why do you think a lot of celebs don't get it done? A lot of them NEEDS to get it done. I think I'll want to get it done @ some point if I really need it.
Can you please compare at-home LED mask and Laser mask, which can go deeper into your skin? Is there any long-term harm, such as facial fat loss? (even though they are FDA-clear). Have you heard about the JOVD 4D Laser mask that has 1064nm longwave infrared?
I'm 29 and starting to develop a frown line in between my eyebrows. Any suggestions on how to prevent it from getting worse and reversing it's development so far?
I appreciate these videos, but since I have no money, I will stay with natural looks. But one question, thou... Isn't Tretinoin on some black list, apparently it can be dangerous, or are those just rumors?
I respectfully disagree on thread lifts; as they can make significant changes on the right candidate, that does not want to undergo the trauma, expense and downtime of a facelift. However, having said that, it is not a replacement for a deep plane, smas lift. It is an option for many, however. Love your videos!
Using exfoliating scrubs will give you smaller pores and thighter skin aso removes acne skares it has proven itself over the last 50 yrs (in the kitchen section at the grocery) I have been doing this then use a beaten egg let it drey and rinse it off
How you get insurance to pay for tretitinoin cream ... Would love to find out... Also do you apply this on your eyes? Is there any correct v videos on how to use the product. Thank you... Love your channel
Dr. Youn , can you please do a quick review on viral products in Korea now called (VT Reedle shot ) is it really safe to use for a long term. Thank you 🙏
Thread lift make only 1 cm of lift per session, surgical lifting 3 to 5 cm with scars to cut off this to much skin. Knowing this, you must make progressively some threads two to 3 times with a distance of two months to lift 3 to five cm but without scars and even no social avoid. The result in this case last as long as a lifting 3 to five years. The cost from a good physician is about half to third of a surgical lifting.
Makes mouth lines and neck lines disappear as it numbs the pulling muscles. I had full face and neck treatment I could not believe the results. I went in looking tired and unhappy, left 10 years younger and happy.
Why is ur no#1 not good for sensitive skin? My skin is fair red head skin. Years of surfing and sun damage. I have psoriasis when it flares up along with hormonal menopause skin? Just turned 50.. I didn’t look this old until i turned 50. So many things went upside down in life. Now it feels like there’s a bookstore on my face.. lines and deep suffering marks. I also have Thai blood in me.1/4 from my grandfather. So what would u suggest? I did botox. That made my skin break out the entire time it was in my system. I have no idea why. I’m on doxycycline long term daily use . Otherwise I break out on one side, then I look again & it’s happening the other side like a mirror !! It’s so weird. I welcome ur real advice not selling advice pls? I need answers atm..Australian viewer
Dr. Y, love your content and am subscribed to all. Does blue LED light have any results for someone over 60 without any skin issues other than maturity? My LED mask is on its last leg and only broadcasts blue light. Thank you, saving for a new device!
@@akindlemom Thank you for the response, I have also seen that it can be used for aging skin also. That was what I was asking the question. Have a great day!!!!
If it’s a fairly new scar, I would recommend wearing a nice, thick piece of silicone. Depending on where your scar is, you can wrap it so it stays on. I used a piece of Coban. All of my scars are keloid except my wrist, where I used the above mentioned products and my scar is TOTALLY FLAT. Oh, and scar massage.
Hello Doctor, i have read that tretenoin causes facial fat loss.. is that correct? I tolerate 1 percent tretenoin just fine, but worried about loosing facial fat.. any comments?
IPL for Asians can be only performed with a very good doctor..as the settings are very different from white skin tones otherwise skin darkening occurs.
I'm curious about Dysport vs Botox for migraines. I wonder if it will work and if there have been studies done. My neurologist told me there's also a longer acting form of Botox coming out, so it lasts 6 months instead of 3-4. I'm all for going twice a year instead of four times.
@@amymandeville8342 Botox stopped working for me a while ago so my doc switched to Dysport, but it’s starting to wear off quickly now. I guess I develop an immunity after a while of use. I like the idea of one that is longer lasting. It would really be nice if there was something that lasted years.
@@kemalistdevrimturkaydnlanm168 I have a subscription with Curology. It ships every 2 months. If I have enough, I let them know and they skip shipments until I’m ready again. It’s made the most dramatic improvement to my skin than any other thing I do.
@@kemalistdevrimturkaydnlanm168 Also, I quit cigarettes and switched to low dose vapes, and that made a huge improvement to my skin also. I use the vapes less often as time goes by, so that’s also good towards no nicotine in the body.
The peel is not better than laser for a good physician.Laser is not as much expensive than chemical per treatment if the physician know how to choose it. Resurfacing laser is better for scars and very damaged skin and had less side effects by fractionated effects.

I,m a bit ugly and happy 😊 , but I like your videos Dr.Youn ❤
I bet you’re much prettier than you think. ;)
I agree with the reply. I don't know if men do it but us women tend to be very hard on ourselves.
👍👍👍 this is a good person.. I will help people with the best I possibly can. And cause no harm to anyone. Thanks 🙏
My mom had the Upper Blepharoplasty because she couldn’t see. It was done by the Ophthalmologist, so the insurance would pay for it, even then that was a struggle. You really a difference looks wise, but she able to see better which is more important.
I wish you had mentioned that anyone taking medications that cause photosensitivity should not use red light devices. Also those with systemic lupus or lupus of the skin. Red light has the same effect as UV light and can be harmful in these cases.
Whaaaat 😭😭😭😭
I have cutaneous lupus and I use red light therapy-Omnilux …no problem
@doctorYoun - I have the Omni lux LED red light therapy mask. Question for you - Do you feel this is good therapy for people that have had a full facelift or partial facelift? And if so, how quickly after the procedure do you think it is safe for them to use it?
You can do nature's red light thetapy- at sunrise and sunset , just head outdoors in the rising or setting sun. Same if not better effect.
Too bad we can’t be naked outside 😂
Liquid nitrogen got rid of all of my brown spots and it was cheap. IPL left me with two small burn spots. Never again.
IPL has made me so happy. It decreased my bikini hair so much and the time is only 10-15mins.
Dermalux red light therapy is best/ as of its Patented Bulbs, or current body face mask is Good/ both can be bought through current body- however the Dermalux has 300 bulbs I Think √ Good luck- they All work better with a low weight copper peptide serum. & thin layer of hialuronic acid on top/ b4 treatment on Skin/ far faster result with any red led therapy! Dont use copper peptide ever with Vitamin C together!!/The Ordinary do copper peptide & low weight hialuronic acid- Safe & Cheap through of Equal Quality to Pricier brands√ Hope this helps you all for better Results.
BBL made brown spots worse with each treatment. Idk if it was the provider or my skin. Then I went to another doctor for microneedling with prp (vampire microneedling). 3 treatments got my skin clear.
Thank you for doing the videos! ❤ may I know where to find you for appointment, please?
I swear by IPL. I've had at least 6: 3 in my late 30s and another 3 in my mid 40s. In my 50s, I'm about to have another series of 2-3. It took about a decade off my age the first series of 3 I had done because I was a lifeguard in my teens, and when I was 37 my face looked 47 (especially since I was so thin). By the time I was 47, I looked 37. It took away every single sun spot in my 30s and just now, 20 years later, I'm starting to see a few more on my forehead.
TIP: I wish I would have had the backs of my hands done in my late 30s or late 40s, but I had no sunspots at that time. I'm starting to get them now in my 50s.
Make sure to do your neck and decolette, as well. Most derms will give you a better price if you do face/neck/decollette or hands all at the same time.
***make certain you get to a clinician or nurse who has considerable experience with IPL because in inexperienced hands, you will get MORE sun spots surfacing than you get rid of***
Oh so Halo was recommended to me for acne scar and I was about to schedule. Should I not? Any feedback from anyone or Dr Youn?
A deep Microdermabrasion many years ago completely smoothed my ice pick scars left by acne. I have worked hard to keep my skin smooth, using in office lasers, Microneedling, and good products like Retinol and Vitamin C with good sunscreen
I bought a red light therapy device - it also has infrared option - to lighten up the dark spots on my face. it’s melasma. I haven’t used the red light therapy or infrared light therapy on it yet because I’m not sure if it will worsen the melasma. Please advise.
I have been using red light for 5 years all over my body and I found I was getting more brown spots on my face using red light. My dermatologist said that this is a possible risk factor. Is this true because I liked the other effects the red light was giving to my face.
I too thought it was bringing out brown spots but everyone says the opposite, I’m so glad you noticed it too because I’m occasionally tempted to try again, then I read what you wrote and think no don’t do it. Thanks
@@rhonda6791 You are most welcome Love, I too keep giving it a go and still notice it because I have a face red light device but it has other lights as well on it so I just don't use the red light anymore. Castor oil has been helping with my scars from skin cancer and dark spots - can't say enough about the stuff as I have been using functional medicine since the 80's to heal my body. The body knows how to heal itself if our microbiome is healthy and it is at it's best :)
If you’re in California, please make sure that the medical treatments are being done by a medical professional. Estheticians are not permitted to provide medical services, but they do all the time. They are also not trained adequately to handle complications.
Using my red light therapy right now
Where does Differin/Adapalene gel fall on the retinol to tretinoin spectrum in terms of effectiveness for wrinkles, Dr. Youn?
The Red Light Therapy went short in this Video. Not all Red Light Devices are working because it really depends on the radiation length of the light. Different strengths have different results.
Going for a cheap device bought off of Amazon isnt gonna do anything.
I think u mean irradiance not radiation
@@skulltaylor1616 or wavelength yess👍🏻
I think there is a misconception between red light therapy and infrared light therapy. The latter is way deeper than the former because it works up to the cells and can stimulate the mitochondria whereas the red lights only stays inside the dermis.
Red light therapy uses both, one part is infrared
@@evarkf5303 it depends on the device you use. Most of them like the masks are only red lights.
“Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell”
Me: I understood that reference!
Is there a laser procedure for lower eyebag?
Dr Shereene Idriss recommends (and gets) Undereye PRP 203x a year. I've started getting it twice a year as well as doing at home microneedling with a Dr Pen and it has really helped me!
How do you feel about eyebag removal surgery?
Works great! 👍🏼
@DoctorYoun Why do you think a lot of celebs don't get it done? A lot of them NEEDS to get it done. I think I'll want to get it done @ some point if I really need it.
I would like to know something more about Prp or Prf. Thank you
My red light mask comes with other "colours" of lights. Do they actually do anything?
I knew that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell already
chubbyemu fan? ;)
😂
Didn’t we all learn this is jr high science class😄😄!
@@dawnwheeler2649 Yes but the youtuber chubbyemu said it every single video and then it became a meme.
Can you please compare at-home LED mask and Laser mask, which can go deeper into your skin? Is there any long-term harm, such as facial fat loss? (even though they are FDA-clear).
Have you heard about the JOVD 4D Laser mask that has 1064nm longwave infrared?
all the places here charge the same for botox and dysport
I'm 29 and starting to develop a frown line in between my eyebrows. Any suggestions on how to prevent it from getting worse and reversing it's development so far?
Doctor Youn, is IPL good for melasma???
Thanks Doc 🙏
I appreciate these videos, but since I have no money, I will stay with natural looks. But one question, thou... Isn't Tretinoin on some black list, apparently it can be dangerous, or are those just rumors?
No, tretinoin is just a form of vitamin A, it's only blacklisted for pregnancy.
Love this dr.
I respectfully disagree on thread lifts; as they can make significant changes on the right candidate, that does not want to undergo the trauma, expense and downtime of a facelift. However, having said that, it is not a replacement for a deep plane, smas lift. It is an option for many, however. Love your videos!
I disagree with Tret. You can start at a lower strength twice a week and then increase frequency and strength once your skin can tolerate it.
What's best for eczema on the skin? I think me developing uterine fibroids is attacking my skin/immune system badly...
Using exfoliating scrubs will give you smaller pores and thighter skin aso removes acne skares it has proven itself over the last 50 yrs (in the kitchen section at the grocery) I have been doing this then use a beaten egg let it drey and rinse it off
How you get insurance to pay for tretitinoin cream ... Would love to find out... Also do you apply this on your eyes? Is there any correct v videos on how to use the product. Thank you... Love your channel
Dr. Youn , can you please do a quick review on viral products in Korea now called (VT Reedle shot ) is it really safe to use for a long term. Thank you 🙏
How does IPL treatment work for dark skin, light brown and very light/pale skin?
What is your opinion of Tixel treatment?
How do you reduce aging white spots on colored people?
Does red light therapy cause facial fat loss? Most people don't want this to happen
Thread lift make only 1 cm of lift per session, surgical lifting 3 to 5 cm with scars to cut off this to much skin.
Knowing this, you must make progressively some threads two to 3 times with a distance of two months to lift 3 to five cm but without scars and even no social avoid.
The result in this case last as long as a lifting 3 to five years. The cost from a good physician is about half to third of a surgical lifting.
Dr. Youn, you misspoke: you said Dysport was you're No. 1 for best bang for your buck at 8:34 and then said it was No. 2 at 9:04.
Does red light therapy detroy or disturb fat pads or body fat. Thank you.
Will that red light therapy work on olive or brown skin?
Botox for the jawline? Please explain!!!!!
Makes mouth lines and neck lines disappear as it numbs the pulling muscles. I had full face and neck treatment I could not believe the results. I went in looking tired and unhappy, left 10 years younger and happy.
Is dysport & tretinon good for African-American skin?
Hello :)
I wanted to ask what cosmetic procedures you have had yourself?
Is red light safe for narrow angle Glucoma??
Dear Doctor, I agree with you about IPL: it works wonders on dark spots even at my age 66!!
Great!!
Does it work for melasma???
@@michcamaro71 I don't have any sign of melasma so I could not answer this question, sorry
@@sczyba thank you for your reply!!
Hi how long can i do red light
Why is ur no#1 not good for sensitive skin?
My skin is fair red head skin. Years of surfing and sun damage. I have psoriasis when it flares up along with hormonal menopause skin? Just turned 50..
I didn’t look this old until i turned 50.
So many things went upside down in life. Now it feels like there’s a bookstore on my face.. lines and deep suffering marks.
I also have Thai blood in me.1/4 from my grandfather.
So what would u suggest?
I did botox. That made my skin break out the entire time it was in my system. I have no idea why. I’m on doxycycline long term daily use . Otherwise I break out on one side, then I look again & it’s happening the other side like a mirror !! It’s so weird.
I welcome ur real advice not selling advice pls?
I need answers atm..Australian viewer
Dr. Y, love your content and am subscribed to all. Does blue LED light have any results for someone over 60 without any skin issues other than maturity? My LED mask is on its last leg and only broadcasts blue light. Thank you, saving for a new device!
Blue light is usually used for acne and pored. Red light is for wrinkles, tightening, and such.
@@akindlemom Thank you for the response, I have also seen that it can be used for aging skin also. That was what I was asking the question. Have a great day!!!!
I wish I had someone in my teens mention to leave my cystic acnes alone. Now I have acne scar that I was forced to love 😂
How to get rid of a keloid scar
There are specific gels and patches available containing silicone, which help to reduce keloids. Surgery can also sometimes be an option
If it’s a fairly new scar, I would recommend wearing a nice, thick piece of silicone. Depending on where your scar is, you can wrap it so it stays on. I used a piece of Coban. All of my scars are keloid except my wrist, where I used the above mentioned products and my scar is TOTALLY FLAT. Oh, and scar massage.
Silicone patches without the adhesive Scar FX silicone - better than the ones that have adhesive
Steroid injections flatten the scar... if there is discoloration then Pulse Dye Laser on top.
can anyone recommend an at home device to reduce chin fat?????
Hello Doctor, i have read that tretenoin causes facial fat loss.. is that correct? I tolerate 1 percent tretenoin just fine, but worried about loosing facial fat.. any comments?
IPL for Asians can be only performed with a very good doctor..as the settings are very different from white skin tones otherwise skin darkening occurs.
I'm curious about Dysport vs Botox for migraines. I wonder if it will work and if there have been studies done. My neurologist told me there's also a longer acting form of Botox coming out, so it lasts 6 months instead of 3-4. I'm all for going twice a year instead of four times.
Wasn’t the original intent of Botox to be used for migraines? The use for dynamic muscle prevention is basically an ‘off-label’ use?
@@u4riahsc I have no idea. I've seen so much varying information over the years that I'm not what is accurate.
@@amymandeville8342 Botox stopped working for me a while ago so my doc switched to Dysport, but it’s starting to wear off quickly now. I guess I develop an immunity after a while of use. I like the idea of one that is longer lasting. It would really be nice if there was something that lasted years.
Love my Tretinoin 💕 700 days so far.
What brand do you use?
@@kemalistdevrimturkaydnlanm168 I have a subscription with Curology. It ships every 2 months. If I have enough, I let them know and they skip shipments until I’m ready again. It’s made the most dramatic improvement to my skin than any other thing I do.
@@kemalistdevrimturkaydnlanm168 Also, I quit cigarettes and switched to low dose vapes, and that made a huge improvement to my skin also. I use the vapes less often as time goes by, so that’s also good towards no nicotine in the body.
@@kemalistdevrimturkaydnlanm168 Tret from Curology.
Dang, I was saving up money for thread lifts 🥴
The peel is not better than laser for a good physician.Laser is not as much expensive than chemical per treatment if the physician know how to choose it.
Resurfacing laser is better for scars and very damaged skin and had less side effects by fractionated effects.
Thread lifts are a rip off. It really only lasted 4 months. Dysport is awesome. Xeomin is great too.
Agree!
