I have a question if possible. I've noticed you've mentioned cleansers containing salicylic acid. I was under the impression that these were pointless as the product is being washed away within seconds so the active doesn't have time to do its thing. Would love to know your take on this. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
i discuss that at length in my face wash ingredient video...but no, sa washes are not pointless and we have data to show they are effective
Sara Duval when the two youtubers you trust the most meet each other, that’s epic👏👏
My favorite beauty guru. :)
I know Paula B. from Paula's Choice said the cleansers were pointless. I'm so glad I learned differently from Dr. Dray.
Cheesing as if I am meeting Wayne Goss in person lol wow he watches your vids!!!!! ;)
I do agree that microneedling can help mild and early acne scars, however it will not improve severe rolling, ice pick or even moderate tethered scars. Still, its an entry level treatment that is standard protocol driven, that is affordable for most patients. Dr Davin Lim
What about festoons?
It gave me a permanent tethered scar on my face actually.
@@LVishere on your eyebags?
Love Moore o m g! I'm sorry that happened. 😞😢 I was really about to start with this and hoping it would help mine . Even fractional laser didn't my scars. Did you do it yourself or you. you go somewhere? I'm so curious how it made it worse.
Dr Davin Lim how about melasma?
Love your wealth of information. Nice to see a professional talking about skincare and not some random person who has no idea what they are talking about.
Thank you Dr Dray! You're my number one source of information before I search any thing related to dermatology. I have also seen a lot of improvement on my skin and I'm no longer stressed about it.
Thank God, finally someone who knows what they are talking about and backing it up with research. Love it. Subbed.
Thanks for watching!
I love the fact, that you back up your statements with research. many thanks for all the info.
What size is best for microneedle for hair growth? Do we have any data of this? I tried 0.5 mm and it acutally made my hair grafts thicker, but I didnt see any new hairs though.
0.75 once every 3 weeks
I LOVE YOU! You remind me of my my late son's pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Toba Weinstein. My son since passed, so watching you also bring's back those great memories in a odd kinda way.
Im sorry for your loss.
Thank you for this, I'm thankful that you shed some light on the use of the vitamin C serum during micro needling procedures.
Thank you - as a skin and beauty therapist I found your video extremely helpful and very informative.
I love that you speak clear, perfect for 1.5x speed! Thank you!
Awwww I miss you
Thank you Dr. Dray, you always set me straight, these beauty you tubers can be very dangerous with their uneducated statements and recomendations!
I am so grateful that Dr. Dray provides these information to us in youtube for free. It's basically like having a free dermatologist consultation.
Dr. Dray, Your skin is looking particularly radiant today! Have been watching you daily since discovering your channel a month or so ago, and after following your recommendations on simple skin care routines, my skin has never looked better. I keep watching your number of subscribers grow daily. You'll be at 100k before you know it! I greatly appreciate the time you take to make make these informative videos as well as your fun vlogs, especially the ones with your mother!
Thanks! Hope you are having a great week
1.7M now 🤣
I love this comment showing Dr. Dray was approaching 100K followers. Today she has more than 2M! 7 years of daily uploads. It's an unbelievable accomplishment for which I am grateful.
I was just about to buy microneedling device but had to check with you first. Thank you for the info. It helped a lot and you saved me $200 😄
With all the hype over using dermarollers on YT, I am really glad that you addressed this from a clinical perspective. Thank you so much for all this information.. Sue
Thanks Ms Sue!
doleg lmao
doleg and you don’t have to spell ‘you’ like ‘u’ but we all do things our own way. No need to be rude. Let Sue sign off however she wants.
Have some damn respect for your elders.
doleg Why is a fetus watching this video? Wtf are you even doing here on RUclips. Go to bed disrespectful little jerk. Also learn how to spell before making fun of strangers.
Thanks doc. Sounds like you did a considerable amount of research on this and gave us the bottom line on the positives and negatives. I so appreciate your time and long studied knowledge. Rita :)
:)
As soon as I saw it was you I gave a thumbs up immediately as I saw 1 where you walked into a CVS or Walgreens & critiqued seversl products. You're my fave! Thanks, Julie
I'm glad I came across this video. I've been curious about this microneedling that can be done at home. You have helped a lot of people with this info. I'm sure.
Dr. Dray is like a walking encyclopedia of skincare !
😁🤣
Thank you once again Dr Dray for being the voice of reason on this platform. Most videos on YT overhype current trendy products, without thinking of the possible, very real adverse effects that can occur. I very much appreciate, as many others here do, your candid educational videos. Well done! Thank you!
Thanks!
I really appreciate your channel and the quality information you provide. I really appreciate the fact you aren't using gimmicks and bad science, just scientific information to give sound answers to patients seeking cosmetic procedures. I love it.
Thank You Doctor for your very informative video on microneedling.
Had my first dermapen at a clinic in Sydney and noticed a difference
in the mirror at the checkout. I’m going back for my next appointment
in 4 weeks. I was shown a photo of a man with acne scars (before and after).
There was a noticeable difference where the skin had actually rejuvenated all
that scar tissue into a new complexion. I just hope it will clear my red blemishes
and maybe even a few wrinkles. I had Fractional resurfacing about a year ago
and got rid of my sunspots. Nice video!
Hey Glenn, what chsnges have you noticed about your skin since then? Did dermarolling/dermapen work to reduce your scarring?
It is always reliable to hear it from the expert. Thank you Dr. Dray :)
Pretty much the only skin channel I trust..
Great info MS. Andrea! I do also love to hear about good basic skin care and minimizing while being effective. I can't say enough how I enjoy your fun vlogs as well! I just grab a big cup of coffee with you!☕️
This is one of my highly trusted resources for skincare. Doc knows what she is talking about. I somehow wasn’t subscribed anymore and am so excited to have come across this channel again. Doc should legit have her own skincare line. I would be a customer for life but I guess I’ll just settle for videos.
Just watched this, got up and got my Dermaroller and put it in the garbage. I had used it a few times but was always afraid. Thank you so much for so much information! You are so wonderful!!
I’m an esthetician and micro needling on myself and my clients helps to maintain okay skin condition, it’s not like Botox which makes any wrinkles visibly go away, but it helps to keep the wrinkles less visible if they are deep or average. Kinda keeps you away from Botox for a while unless your preference is cardinal procedures
Thank you for all the information you put on RUclips. I’m aging so I looked on RUclips to see what others are doing to stay youthful looking. I looked at derma rolling but decided against it because I’m prone to infection. I have been hospitalized 2X with sepsis due to viral illness’s. I’ve been binge watching you for the last week!
I hope you are well Ms Corey, that is a very scary thing to go through, let alone two times!!
Just reading through comments and responses while I’m watching your video. I am so impressed by you and your commitment to informing the public. And the time and honesty in answering people’s questions.
thanks!
Dr. Dray, love to hear you speak of the physiology of derma rolling. I've been using it on my lips for over two years, with great success. I'm a registered nurse, and feel comfortable doing it at home. You are very generous to share your knowledge with us. Many blessings...MaryEllen
Thanks!
MaryEllen After 60 m
MaryEllen After 60 how often you do it on lips
Ana, I use the o.5mm on my lips once a week.
MaryEllen After 60 what do you apply after rolling your lips?
So PROUD of the growth I’ve seen on your channel. If anyone deserves it, YOU DO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 When I started watching, you were at 25,000 subs, and I told literally EVERYONE I could reach to check out your channel. Way to go Andrea 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Thank you so much for your support. I hope you are having a nice weekend
You are a sharp cookie, Dr. Dray! Thanks for the great info.
I would like toTHANK YOU for CARING so MUCH about ALL people (not just ur patients), that u give ur personal time to educate us ALL! Many people CAN'T afford to go see a Dermatologist to ask &/or learn about the many topics/info which you have so GRACIOUSLY provided! Once again,, from another health care provider who also cares, I sincerely APPRECIATE ur COMPASSION, EFFORTS, & TIME! Bless YOU!
:)
You are a breath of fresh air ! I am suffering from hair loss, and this is been going on for a number of years now. I am postmenopausal and I thought it was due to my hormones so I went to see an endocrinologist to check my hormones out, and she told me to go home and take biotin supplements. And so I went to my gynecologist and she put me on estrogen supplements via a patch twice a week. It's at a relatively low dose but it helps stop the hot flashes, and she told me I could take this patch until I'm 65 years old. I am 59 now. My hair grows but it has too much shed or Fallout and I am getting link so. I don't care to have long hair I just wanted to stop shedding. I am going to pay attention to your videos, as you're the first dermatologist I have seen online in any capacity that has been so open and willing to share. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Ms Sherrie and I am glad to hear you enjoy the videos :)
Dr Dray is there a hair loss product that you would
Sorry is there a hair loss product that you would recommend for postmenopausal women who are taking low-dose estrogen supplements!? Thank you so much if your answer and I was so glad to see you reply to my my comment yesterday!
FINALLY someone qualified talking about these things. Thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
So glad I found this video! Was about to order a dermaroller, but hesitated because of my history of post-acne hyperpigmentation, diabetes, plus the fact that I'm a cheloid machine. Your video really opened my eyes. Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Hello Dr. Dray. I recently found your videos and love how educational they are, especially that the information shared is backed by evidence-based practices. I recently had my first of a series of micro-needling. If you're able, could you recommend products to use after the treatments? I've read differing things online about using peptides, hyaluronic acid, inclusive ointments, etc. and what days to use them on. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise through RUclips!
you should discuss with the provider what products should be used after wards, i don't perform this procedure at all
So informative, as always. Thank you, Dr. Dray.
Thanks!
I know this is off topic, but I'd love for you to do a video about the DermaWand. Thanks!!
Deborah Tansey Same!!
I've been looking for a legitimate video on this......thank you❤
Wow very informative and easy to follow and understand exactly what the Dr. is talking about ! Just found you but I can say ive subscribed and will be watching going to watch your other videos and future videos I’m so excited to know that your a real Dr. because we can trust your advice vs. just your reg you tuber who just gathers info (not that that is bad) this is just better! On to other videos ! Yay !
For those thinking about receiving microneedling treatment, it really does what you hope it will. I had dozens of acne scars on my face to the point where I couldn't grow facial hair. Every treatment I got, I saw more little hairs popping up and now most of them are gone. It doesn't happen overnight though. It takes a few months of continuous treatment but it's certainly worth the money and time.
I agreed. It takes time. Severe result will shown after 6month or up to 1 year. The key is consistency
Does it last long term or do you have to keep getting treatments? Looks like treatments here are around $750 per session
I'm so glad I read this i am going tomorrow and I'm so so nervous
@@AbstractMindsThinkAlike you'll want at least 3 treatments 1 won't make much of a change
@Hassan Khurshid yes that's what my doctor has said
Very timely video for me. I have been interested in at home micro- needling with the hope that it would stimulate collagen production and improve my pore size on my nose which has increased in the last couple of years (I'm 43), I find it quite unsightly. The Derma roller kits can be quite expensive, I've had my eye on one which also includes the necessary cleaner for the roller to keep things sanitary. I think on balance though, I might be better giving this a miss. Back to the drawing board on my pores! Thanks for this Dr Dray, great video as always.
glad to hear you found it helpful
I love your videos! You honest and very professional! Thank you for doing it!
Omg, thank you!!! I just purchased one n did it for the first time very lightly, no blood but my face tingled. I will definitely not do it again. Gracias!!!
Fab video! So many are dermarolling at home but there are so many risks!
Please do a video about bruising, capillaries & varicose veins!
:)
I already have those
Found your video today. Now a new subscriber! Thanks for the awesome info
Thank you so much! This is super helpful! I wanted to make sure I got as much information as possible before my first microneedling procedure!
Thanks!
Love the info about insulting the skin!! Really great points to to consider before deciding if this treatment is appropriate for me♥️🤔
I was scared to watch this as I have done microneedling with HA, but glad you weren't all bad news. Wasn't life changing but I have noticed textural changes and more plumpness in my skin (3 months after treatment). Interested in what your thoughts are of the HA versus PRP options. It "makes sense" to be that this could be either a marketing gimmick "vampire facial" or have actual benefits. Also very curious for your thoughts on micro current and nano current devices. I know as with the light therapy you may not be able to advise for or against because I'm not sure if they're regulated, but some devices such as the ziip do say that they're FDA cleared but their device classification and regulation medical specialty were not as expected. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Did it help with hyperpigmentation?
Kendra Terra I don’t really have hyperpigmentation so can’t speak to if it works for that but I’ve heard it does. I was at my Botox lady this week asking about skin treatment (bride to be freaking out) and I have one spot from a recent blemish and she said my retinol (CeraVe) should resolve that.
3 months after treatment....how many sessions did you have?
R.R.R tbh nothing has done for my skin what CeraVe and tretinoin has. Needling was fine but unless you have money to burn, I wouldn’t bother
For any latinos out there thinking of getting microneedling. I recently got my third session done and it really does help with acne scars. It’s slightly painful but nothing you won’t be able to stand. It honestly depends how you take care of your skin afterwards. I usually don’t wash my face for up to 6 hours after i get it done and when i do i wash it with cetaphyl gentle soap, apply hyaluronic acid and a gentle face cream.
Hey Jessica, I'd like to get your feedback. What is your skin type and skin tone? What changes have you seen in your skin? Has it helped with scar reduction?
Is it permanent ?
What does that have to do with being latino though
May you share a feedback on how your skin condition is !
Latino is not a skin type so whatever worked for you has nothing to do with a cultural group. Latin people can be gingers or black.. literally all skin types.
This is an honest informative video on micro needling. We have only one face. Be sure to choose your at home procedures wisely. Thanks.
I LIVE for these videos. Thank you so much!!!
I really love and appreciate your high efforts along with your detailled and thoroughly investigated suggestions and explanations. Thank you !! All the best from Germany ☺
Thanks!
Im naturally tan, ethnic skin and suffer from very light acne scaring and some darker melasma hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. I've done 4 micro needling sessions at home (once a week) for a month and noticed an improvement. It's been months since my last session. I noticed no new melasma spots formed since. One more session should solve it. If you do it at home DO YOUR RESEACH! DO NOT SKIMP ON SANITATION! TAKE BIG PRECAUTIONS! It's not for those who can't dedicate a week of going bare face and taking extra caution with anything they come in contact with.
Once a week seems excessive but glad it’s working for ya
Hello Dr Dray. Your videos are fabulous. I enjoy and respect your honest no nonsense approach to each of your subject matters. I do have a microneedling question. Did you talk about keloid scars? Would it actually help keloid scars and/or should those who tend to truly keloid scar avoid microneedling altogether? Any studies to support either way? Your thoughts please would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you. One other subject matter I’m not sure you mentioned, microneedling and hyperpigmentation. Does it help this condition of someone has this secondary to acne break outs and/or would someone prone to this be more at risk for developing the hyperpigmentation post needling? Again, I keep thinking of other issues. Rosacea? Would it be beneficial for someone with this condition? Thank you Dr. Dray!
Thank you so much for such a speedy reply and for all your great information on skincare!!.
thanks1
Please do a video dedicated to stretch marks and reducing their appearance! Great videos, thank you! :)
Thanks! Look out for it ;)
Dr Dray Patiently waiting 🙇🏽♀️
Microneedling and rolling, It's everywhere! Welcome your educated and sensible advice on this subject! Keep vlogging! Love ya, Dr. Dray :)
Thanks! Hope your Monday is going well :)
I'm so happy that I found you ❤️❤️☺️🙏🏼 as a skintherspist this is gold knowledge.
Dr., your podcasts are a great find. Thank you!
Question! What about people who are keloid prone? Can they do micro needling or are they at risk of developing micro keloids? Thank you
I sell home use dermarollers, I have to agree this is small and can be very dangerous device if people don't know how to use, however I provide tons of videos educating my customers and subscribers how to use it and with all proven studies, I'm esthetician with 11 years of experience, never had disappointed client or subscriber, rollers might be not for everybody and people might not see results, but I sold thousands of rollers and got not even one negative review or comment that damaged the skin. Also it is very IMPORTANT to know where you are buying your device, if it has medical CE, how it is made, metal wheels which has no benefits or real individual needles. Again I have tons of information about dermarolling on my channel. I highly believe it's the best skin care home use device to improve the skin, I don't love because I sell it, I sell it because I love it and I have never gotten negative comment from my customers, patients or subscribers.
I agree. As long as you maintain proper hygienic protocols there is no logical reason as to why this would be significantly safer in a dermatologists office than at home. You don't need 6+ years of medical school to be able to roll a dermaroller back and forth.
But a lot of people are simply stupid, so I don't think many dermatologists will condone at home rolling with good conscience because someone will probably mess something up.
On top of that, why would they recommend doing a procedure for free at home, when *they're* the ones making $200 from doing it in their office? They have every incentive to advice you to get this done professionally - because they're the ones getting paid to do with professionally.
I don't think the risks of doing this at home are significantly higher than doing it at an office. The treatments at offices tend to be more aggressive in an attempt to produce more drastic results, which also gives higher risks.
I honestly trust myself more with microneedling than I trust a derm. But mostly because a derm ruining my face with lasers is the reason why I'm doing this in the first place.
Gin Amber, I was uncertain about using a dermaroller on my face and started to look into it. I watch several beauty vloggers, several who have chimed in here, and have seen their success. So, when I discovered your videos, I feel even more educated and assured that I can do this myself.
exactly :)
Thank you dear :)
Thank you, hope you are going to enjoy, just be patient :)
Dr. Dray, I appreciate your videos and that you don't wear tons of make up. People forgot that it's okay if our skin ist perfectly even every day. You're gorgeous and I enjoy your videos a lot. Thank you!
You are brilliant! Worth my time to listen and learn from you, Exactly what I have been searching for
Thank YOU Dr. Dray!!! I was totally on the fence about this after seeing many RUclipsrs touting the advantages of dermarolling at home. I am OFF the fence now and RUNNING in the other direction. Thanks again!!!
Keep looking UP!!!
:)
You can do microneedling at home perfectly fine if you just use your brain. Use pens/stamp and not a roller - practice proper hygienic protocol, and there's no logical reason as to why you'd pay $200 to have someone do the exact same treatment. But hey, it's your money. :)
Oh my Dr. Dray....I am very very glad I saw this video. I was just going to order my roller....I was nervous because I am 63 and because I am concerned about diabetes and infection. I think what I will do is have it professionally done, if at all. I don't like the idea of derma-rolling and then putting makeup on afterward. Thank you for all you do Dr. Dray xxo Sues
Glad to hear this was helpful :)
Susan (LIttle Poet), I am going to watch this video again, there was SO MUCH INFO in it!! I am quite certain Dr. Dray said to not wear any makeup for TWO WEEKS following dermarolling. Wow, scary!!!
Of course dermatologists are going to advice you to get it done profesionally - they're the ones getting paid to do it profesionally.
I also understand why no dermatologist would go out and condone doing this at home - because a lot of people are just simply stupid.
The fact is that as long as you follow the exact same protocols as they would in an office, it's absolutely absurd to pay $200 for literally the same treatment you can get at home.
The main problem with doing this at home is keeping a sterile environment, but as long as you ensure that your equipment is unused and properly sterilised with alcohol, as well as thoroughly cleaning your face, rinsing it in water and letting it airdry, you're not being any less sterile than a dermatologist would.
In other words, as long as you're not a moron, you should be perfectly capable of doing this at home.
I had my face ruined by a dermatologist who basically experimented with my face with a new laser he had no idea how to use, and used for the wrong indication.
I'm now actually fixing my face, myself, with microneedling, that was ruined *by a dermatologist* - and I've seen *many* dermatologists prior to this disaster and they've all known *less* about hyperpigmentation than I have.
Dr. Dray here seems knowledgeable and generally interested in her field, but I'm sorry to say that the average dermatologist, from my experience, is not someone I would trust my face with anymore than I would trust myself.
At this point I feel much safer doing this myself than in the hands of some heavy-handed dermatologist looking to make a few quick bucks.
That's also why many dermatologists pretend that lasers are the best treatment for pretty much anything, even though microneedling and relatively cheap topical treatments often times are equally effective without the risk. It's because they've spent loads of money on these lasers and they want a return on their investment.
You need to take *their* incentive into account - the incentive of most dermatologists is first of all just to make money. Why on earth would they advice you to do something they can make money from, at home for free, when it's arguably "less safe" to do it at home? The only person who has solely your own health as an incentive is *you*.
Sorry, that's just my two cents.
I totally agree with you on lasers - almost everyone who has had laser treatment is unsatisfied, and that's the best case scenario, worst case, people are left with permanent discoloration, texture changes, etc. I did just want to point out that Dr. Davin Lim does condone at home microneedling with shorter length needles, he says it's a good adjunct therapy to having professional skin remodeling with a dermatologist.
Julian Nikolay Krogh-Fredriksen alcohol does not sterilize, it sanitizes which is the lowest level of killing germs something sterile has been sanitized, disinfected, and then sterilized with a UV light or extreme heat. Alcohol has a similar level of cleanliness to soap and water
I look you your videos for any questions I have now. I'm always like, hang on let me ask Dr Dray! Love it! Also all the products you've suggested that I've tried have been WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for taking your time out of your life to bring us this important info!!!!
:)
How did I only just find this channel! Thank you for the video, very helpful.
glad you are here :)
Thank you Dr Dray. I wanted to try microneedling but will go to a doctor now instead of doing it at home. Its not a chance worth taking on my own. Thanks for the advice
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Sadly I would have been someone 'slapping on differin like foundation' had I not watched your retina-a videos, and now I swear I was totally looking at those microneedling things on Amazon. Thank you for saving me from myself! I have other medical conditions that definitely make me a bad person for this treatment.
:)
Thank you for the education!! Have been looking at it for a while, with this info, i feel very happy that i have steered clear of it!
:)
Always such a wealth of information, thank you so very much for sharing!!! XOXO Sharon
thanks :)
Can you speak on the hyaluronic pen use please.!!! I'm on the dense about getting it. Tks
The last content of this video is the most important for us. Thanks Dr. You save my face skin.
The sincerity in your personality is so amazing and thank you for giving all the info, my skin feels so much better after applying sun screen regularly for 2 weeks
Hi Dr.Dray. I just LOVE your videos. Your voice is so soothing too lol. Can you recommend a pure hyalluronic acid gel that's safe to use before microneedling? Thank you kindly.
Hi from Puerto Rico Dr Dray! My name is Manuel, I recently finished my third session of micro-needling and I have started to see amazing results. As you mentioned here is collagen induction therapy. I'm a Chemist and prior to pursued this treatment I did my research and read some journal to see the data and decided if I wanted to do it. So far its been fantastic, but truth to be told is freaking painful and I always cry😭, regardless the numbing cream the put on. However is amazing to see the results and the improvement on your skin. My question is, sometimes I do get break outs on my skin and since the FDA approved Adapelen OTC, I was wondering if I could incorporate Adapelene in my skin care routine (the way you do) or should I wait to finish my micro-needling sessions ? Thank You and I love your videos!!!!
How is your skin are micro needling treatments permanent ?
I just got it done ✔️ yesterday acne prone and sensitive skin. Can someone pls tell me why I have tiny pus bumps 😔 post 24 hours! I did everything they asked me to do post care! Pls help!
been dermarolling for a year now and my face improves a lot, no more acne scars and not visible wrinkles.
Do you do it at home or in a medical office?
ljay tajelpo i’ve been doing it at home
What do you actually apply after and before every session?
Thank you I've just bought mine and been doing some research
ljay tajelpo There’s a lot of instructions on youtube about dermarolling. It’s what you apply after, I’ve been using rosehip oil after dermarolling to help my inflamation and redness
Very grateful for you sharing your professional knowledge and explaining this procedure's positives and negatives.
Thanks!
Hi Dr. Dray, thank you for your always informative videos. I’m starting micro needling at my dermatologists next week. She said no make up for 24 hours after the procedure but I’m wondering now if I should wait longer than that.
Interesting video. I was thinking of getting a microneedling roller.... this definitely made me reconsider. Thanks
Just wondering... what are your thoughts on those jade rollers and ice rollers?
Thank you so much for your cautionary advice! I was about to buy a home-roller but I'd rather not risk it! I'll stick to my retin-A.
I am
Has retin-a helped you in acne scars over time?
Goodness! I was doing at home microneedling with vitamin C serum for deep chicken pox scars from my childhood. I stopped because I wasn't seening much improvement but just a little. You really made me want to rethink this. I am still interested in microneedling but the products they provide are horribly inadequate compared to the procdure you described.
Hi Doc! Thank you for doing this! What's the best cleanser to use right after?
Thank you!
Jodi
Dr. Dray, what is your take on the "vampire facials" where they micro-needle and use PRP? I am considering getting professional micro-needling done but want to do a lot of research first! Was thinking of getting an at-home roller, but thank you for giving your two cents, I'm going to wait and get it done professionally. You are the best!
pumpkinsmiles it works. Use it. You will not regret it.
Dr. David Lim discussed this. He said, basically, PRP May help with shortening recovery time but doesn’t accelerate results.
Derma rolling, started it in combination with cera ve skincare. Best Decision everrr
Really appreciate your expert comments on this subject. It seems there are too many pitfalls in this product and you explained many of them. Best wishes.
it worries me....holds promise for somethings though
So glad I saw this. Thank you!
Is there any new research out regarding microneedling? Especially with melasma and stretch marks. TIA. Also, your videos are so informative! Thank you for all of them!
This has done wonders for my acne scars. Now I'm not saying overnight but over the last year of micro needling well.. I'm able to to without makeup go around my house without being terribly uncomfortable and embarrassed. I'm going to continue for this next year more regularly and I hope it continues to do what it's done previously
Yeah since making this video microneedling continues to yield good results for acne scars when done in office. I still caution against that at home devices, however, as we do see problems with these and they are not calibrated well often
@@DrDrayzday I completely understand your stance on caution when done at home. But I do keep my tools clean and away from any of my other tools that I use for my face. And I before and after use every time disinfect the tool and start with a very very clean face. Thanks so much for actually responding to my little nothing comment. So rare these days that people take time out of there busy lives for one another. Thanks again Doc'
Hi, is it okay for me to use aloe Vera gel with vitamin E as a moisturiser after a sessions of micro needling?
@@shadowdawnl6930 i think your a Babe 💓 any updates on your results?
@@rahkielsingh6028 it is going very well. Skin is still showing better and better results as I continue. Thanks for the compliment:)
This was very informative and honest. Thank you!
I just started topical Co Q10 and was not expecting much but it did give me some nice glow after a few applications. Happy about this 😊
Microneedling just scares me because of hyperpigmentation and possibility of infection.
agree
Birgit Roth I wouldn’t just wipe it down, but submerge in isopropyl alcohol and leave for 20 mins. ( before and after). Think if it as a surgical instrument. Although after Dr Gray’s thoughts I think I will throw mine out.
i submerge it in ethyl and isoprobyl alcohol diluted (w/ water to make it more potent actually) for 24 hours everytime u use it. ive had no problems
Margie Medina I’ve suffered from hyper pigmentation for years I’ve tried everything thing retin a worked for a while but stopped at the strongest strength! This saved my skin and at 30 I look 23 because it plumps the skin it changed my life there are different needle lengths for at home nothing over 0.3 I say go for it ! Btw there is a snail bee essesnce that I love to use in combo !
@@harmoneypeters 0.3 meddle doesn't reach the dermis to help with hyperpigmentation or introduction of collagen production. Usually, you'll need 0.5 nothing more to be safe but you also have to make sure you sterilised your derma roller. If you can tolerate the pricking.
Hi!
I'm treating melasma whit microneedling, and I see difference.
I'm doing a session 3w/3 weeks, two until now. I use a Eucerin cream the days after, and Neostrata after that one.
I note difference. I think one or two sessions more and it's finished.
I note improvement in wrinkles between brows, too.
I'm 44 years and I'm doing the treatment whit a stetician (sorry, I'm portuguese, so I don't know some words... 😎).
It's winter now, but I still use sunscreen.
😘🇵🇹
Carmen, what size of needles you used, and what do you mean 3/3 weeks.thank you, I have melasma to and want try microneedling to see if works for me. Have blessed day😊
@@lilianasotres9415
Well, I don't know. The stetician said that is a new method, but not the size.
And now I stopped because Portugal is at home again, because of the pandemia...
I had 3 sessions until now, and I seed differences.
Sorry I can't help you...
👍 How lucky are your patients to have such a good dermatologist...wish you practiced in my hometown.
Hi Dr. Dray, I am 62 and planning a microneedling with a dermatologist for fine lines. I have used organic from the plant aloe gel after derm abrasion. Was also planning on applying from the plant aloe after microneedling. What do you think? Thank you for your wonderful and thorough information!
