Just putting it out there-subliminal affirmations for acne and skin problems on Borlest work wonders. If you’ve never tried it, now’s the time. You’ll be amazed at the difference!
I have been incorporating vitamin c and retinol into my routine the past few weeks and I can tell my dark marks from acne are getting better! I'll try adding microneedling into my routine since the one you showed looks really easy to use!
Hey girl add some vit b complex: niacinamide and pantenol. That way you get the holy grail. Plus if you’re using those powerful but irritating actives, you’ll soon need to calm your skin, support its rebuilding and reinforce its barrier. That’s when vitamin b3 and b5 enter. Cheers from a skinsis ❤
Little disappointing how much advertising there is here. I can’t tell if these are the best options or if you’re presenting them as that so you can help sell the products:(
Why should a good products that is beneficial and clinically tested not known by others? It adds their options and choices. After all medicarion or therapy is personalized medicine
thanks so much for touching on microneedling! i have been using the banisher for years for my acne scars and they have almost completely healed. its sooo refreshing to see a derm that recommends at home microneedling with the correct devices, because it can be really expensive to get done in offices.
A big YES to the Banisher 2.0! It is indeed a very simple, cost effective and SAFE way to treat acne scars at home. Thank you for reiterating that going deep with bigger needles does not mean it is effective but it causes more trauma. I have been using this wonderful tool for some time and it helps minimize the appearance of my acne scars, Banish Oil helps with my Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) too!
What kind of scarring do you have? I've been nervous to try it, even though I've been following that channel for years! It's just all dermatologists and estheticians tell you to not do it at home, so that's why I've been hesitant. I just can't afford professional microneedling unfortunately.
Isotretnoin aka accutane is about the only thing that cleared my skin. Started getting acne at 20 and tried many many things. Then my new doctor put me on 10 mg isotret and eventually upped it to 20 mg for 6 months. I stayed acne free till I reached 35.
My daughter got very sick from it and had chronic fatigue syndrome and alot of scary symptoms that took about 6 months to go away. She went off it straight away.
Wish my Mom had known about this. She bad scarring & hated it. She always wanted to help children with anything messing up the looks of the face, especially the lip/s.
Banish vitamin c serum is a game-changer for me. I'm also using Banisher 2.0 to reduce pore size and fade hyperpigmentation. Thank you for sharing useful info!
Ive been spending more than that for new skincare products monthly whereas my hubby (now with faded scars) are only using the Banisher 2.0, vit c creme and pumpkin mask MONTHLY. No more no less! And he looks younger than me 🥹
@@williamk7035 yes professionally it is deeper but i would not recommend doing that depth at home... that is when u draw blood and that's not safe to induce blood at home
Your recent sponsored video posts compared to your informative, transformative content videos where you educate on procedures and results.. instead of pedaling topicals or devices for money makes me quite sad.. I hope you actually stand by these products.
we have been sending Dr. Lim products for many years now and our founder Daisy had multiple conversations about the products over the past several months...
I just found you video and i find it very informative with clear explanation including product recommendation, which is sooo useful (one of the very few out there) compare to ALOT of ‘skin expert’ videos. I wonder if surgical scar can be treated the same way as your acne scar treatment? Many thanks for the awesome video! ❤️
Tried 6 treatments of microneedling, fully ablative Co2 laser and retin A. I look the same. Pictures from the surgeon's office prove it. I feel like a failure when I seem to be the only person who doesn't respond to treatments that are supposed to stimulate collagen. Even a 30-50% improvement would have been something to be excited about. I'm thousands of dollars dumber for nothing.
@robert hart I don't know what that is. Honestly my skin has lost so much elasticity that I'm just considering a mini facelift. I'm scared to spend anymore on scar treatments. I will look it up though.
@@theHappyTrucker yeh I totally get where you’re coming from. I had the laser which cost me almost $2k, and don’t feel I had as much change as they promised. I then did 3 treatments of Venus viva at about $250 per treatment and have seen much better results, and it’s significantly less downtime, literally one weekend
Usually if you have deep scars like ice pick, microneedling and co2 laser won’t respond because they’re too deep. You should do Tca cross at like 80-100% which will fill in the scar and make it more leveled
I feel deeply disappointed of your ethics, cause now I wonder which videos of you were undercover ads and which one were honest reviews. You are a doctor, you really needed this sponsorship? 💵 > 💛
We've been sending Dr. Lim products for many years now and the CEO Daisy had multiple conversations with Dr. Lim about the products, etc. If anything, he's supporting a small business and trying to give an affordable safe option for those who want to treat acne scars at home
I hope in the second part you cover how to treat "Hypertropic Scars on Nose and Chin" formed by overproduction of collagen and healing the acne before it settles to surface level. Also hope that you compare Alma Pixel Er:YAG 2940 vs MNRF. Some of the research papers I have read say that MNRF treatments are very "short term" effects but then when I looked at the publisher, they were published by laser companies. So don't know if it's reliable. I have done one Alma Pixel Er:YAG 2940 at setting 9. Don't know if I should do MNRF or continue with Er:YAG 2940 for next sessions. Thanks for all you info and help. :D
We did! My son is currently using the Banish Defender, Banish Vit C Creme and Banish Fighter Gel together with Epiduo Forte. Game changer indeed! My husband started to use their products years ago.. we trusted the brand bec the Banisher 2.0 faded my hubby's boxcar scars
I have been using banish for over 3 months and seen no improvement whatsoever which I was very disappointed and frustrated about. The only thing I can say it actually did was keep my acne away, that's about it
You mentioned that you don't recommend pens because the motor can become bad over time. So what? It may only reduce the speed at which needles go into the skin right? At worse the speed will be same as a stamp but it can be safely assumed it will still be much better speed than stamping. So what is really wrong with pens?
ive read the study and it was not correlation equals causation. people actually need to read the article!!! It was because the esthetician microneedled over ACTIVE ACNE, in which Dr. Lim says NOT to do. vitamin C is super effective for fading post acne marks as it inhibits the tyronaise as dr. lim mentioned.
it just 'happened' that the esthetician used vit c ontop, and guess what??? that particular vitamin c serum caused allergic reactions in the client... so now everyone thinks vitamin c is terrible to use after microneedling, but no one read the actual research paper????
Dr Lim, can you talk to how diet helps acne scar healing/supports treatment? I've seen video about acne management, but not about how it impacts scarring, scar treatment, etc. I have a young adult relative who is going through acne scar treatments (3 months out) and his diet is entirely composed of fast food, sugar, sodas and monster drinks. Zero vegetables. All refined carbs, processed food. The less results he sees, the more junk he eats and refuses to believe healthy eating has any impact. Is he just counteracting the treatments? Sugar's impact on collagen production? Glycation? So much focus on acne management and diet, but not enough on diet and scar healing.
Hi Dr Lim, i love your videos, thankyou for the knowledge. I want to ask: how about Propolis extract? i use the Cosrx propolis extract skincare line. what are the benefits? and what makes it different from vitamin c? as you mentioned it is your favorite....
Haven't seen anyone talk about what I have, and that is cortisone damaged skin. Derms injected 'cysts' I used to get decades ago, the skin was forever 'thinned' and thus 'depressed'. Redness talked about, goes away on its own in time, however my thinned skin a bit shadowed. Think of skin like an onion, and one layer or two removed on your face. How on earth to fix this type of scarring?? Case of skin acne rosacea 'treatment' worse that the disease! One derm tried to say it would even out, never ever did!
right... and the conferences and sales reps they send to doctors is ethical? what about the opioid crisis? what about creating a category for PAIN and selling painkillers to get patients addicted?
Hey Dr David, I am a 50 year old male and I have pitted acne scars since my teens. Over the years, i have gone for chemical peels but nothing works to improve the skin condition. May I ask if I can still go for subscision and filler at my age?
I love all the info you gave and I was ready to go back to my banisher but once you mentioned it doesn’t not work on rolling scars specifically I felt a little disappointed 🥺 Guess rolling scars need the most aggressive devises and lasers?
@@ramyagundeboina5614 he was using the banisher 2.0 WEEKLY. Applying Banish Defender SPF 50 daily even indoors AND exfoliate once a week. Thats it! Now his skin looks better so he only uses the Banisher 2.0 ONCE A MONTH
@@LindaQueLeenda has anyone tried subscision and does it work? i have some rolling scars and banisher has softened the outside. like smoothed out the edges
Hi Dr. I am curious to know if most People who come for acne scars treatment are not having any active Acne? If they have then whats the fastest way to treat mild acne so that the treatment of scars can be started. Not all acne treatments stop acne fully so Antibiotics are the answer?
Medical research journals articles show pretty definitively that Microneedling requires a depth of 1.5-2mm in order to do anything for scarring…. 0.5mm might be good for slightly better topical active ingredient absorption, but that’s pretty much it… This video seems like it’s way too much for paid advertising propaganda and not so much patient education which is a little disappointing coming from my favorite internet dermatologist doctor!
the problem with this video is you just do is talk, we don't really get any value on how it should be used, and what is mild scarring or moderate or severe scars look like.
I've got medium to deep acne scarring and I've found that micro needling at many different depths over many years combined with Retin-A, ascorbic acid Vit C and E and all sorts of other recommended regimes has done precisely NOTHING to help. The micro needling seems to only work best with fine lines and shallow scars. I've had 2 deep laser treatments which only managed to successfully empty my wallet. I've tried 100% TCA CROSS which has helped a little but the downtime is way too long. I think dermabrasion (not microdermabrasion) or a Phenol peel will be my only option next. Unfortunately it's difficult in the UK to find a professional who will do these treatments as there are risks associated with them.
Hey Doc, not sure if you have already made a dedicated video on exosomes for treating acne scars, if not I hope you have time to give your views about it. Thank you.
As a trans woman with heavy acne scaring across every zone of my face, who just realised you are qld based. I will most definitely be getting in touch with your office
Their sunscreen is $105AUD. Yeah Dr Davin I’m really disappointed you’ve even giving this brand the air time. I’d rather buy GOOP products from Gwyneth Paltrow than to give Banish anything.
Do you think that microneedling stamp has to be pricey to be good? I would like to buy one that is below 0,5mm but my budget is low. Is it ok to use retinol along with that stamp? Regards and thank you for these videos
Cant use retinol together with the Stamp but one thing i can say is with consistency there is hope. The Banisher 2.0 changed my hubby's life and faded his boxcar scars
I've been using the retinol ceramide serum from banish and I can say that it is not irritating to use at all! considering that I have sensitive skin :)
I suffer with terrible deep athrophic scarring that has also left some unwanted post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and almost lumps in my skin. I have had 2 sessions of microneedling and my current routine involves… 1 - cleanse 2- hylaronic acid 3- vitamin c 4- moisturise And at night I use azaelic acid. I have really sensitive and dry skin can anybody recommend anything for athrophic scars in terms of serums or retinols to help aid fade and heal them I have tried everything on the market however I have never used a retinol . Recently my scarring has made me feel more and more uncomfortable in my own body and I’m in desperate times for some help. Thank you .
My son has old acne scars on his back. I have been researching something that will help this. He is 30 years old and the scars are back from his early teens. I have Trevino in 0.025% that my dr ordered. Would this or the Green bottle of Murad work?

Do you think that microneedling stamp has to be pricey to be good? I would like to buy one that is below 0,5mm but my budget is low. Is it ok to use retinol along with that stamp? Regards and thank you for these videos
Cant use retinol together with the Stamp but one thing i can say is with consistency there is hope. The Banisher 2.0 changed my hubby's life and faded his boxcar scars
I’ve tried retinol it is way too irritating for my skin, how is Banish’s retinol and ceramide serum?
I've been using the retinol ceramide serum from banish and I can say that it is not irritating to use at all! considering that I have sensitive skin :)
@@greyzia0405 thanks Grace!
I suffer with terrible deep athrophic scarring that has also left some unwanted post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and almost lumps in my skin. I have had 2 sessions of microneedling and my current routine involves…
1 - cleanse
2- hylaronic acid
3- vitamin c
4- moisturise
And at night I use azaelic acid. I have really sensitive and dry skin can anybody recommend anything for athrophic scars in terms of serums or retinols to help aid fade and heal them I have tried everything on the market however I have never used a retinol . Recently my scarring has made me feel more and more uncomfortable in my own body and I’m in desperate times for some help. Thank you .
Please make a full video on the new AviClear laser!
Hi! Can you pls advise how to incorporate the Banish serum to a skin care routine?
U can either use it alone or with a creme u like.. best to apply in AM depending on your PM routine
Hey Davin. Would love to hear your thoughts on Renuvion J plasma versus CO2 for skin resurfacing. Cheers
I don’t have acne scars but I had to stop and say how handsome you are.💜💖💝. I do have age spots though.
I tried microneedling before. My face got itchy and red
Where's the second part of the video? Nothing showing on your page. Thanks
what's the optimal needle length for treating boxed scars?
And niacinamides serum??
Please show us how to use the micro stamp . Thanks 🙂
i looked on their website to see how to use the product
WAY TO GO DAISY!!! :-)
What is the best treatment for POE?
I need this!
Retinol doesn’t do anything. Not for my acne scars anyways.
Can I use the ordinary’s Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution instead of the banish serum after microneedling with the banister 2.0?
i would test it on your skin first to see if you react to the serum. then u can try it after using your microneedling device
But what about deep scarring
Hi Doctor. Can you please make a detailed video on Taylor liberator subcision
My son has old acne scars on his back. I have been researching something that will help this. He is 30 years old and the scars are back from his early teens.
I have Trevino in 0.025% that my dr ordered. Would this or the Green bottle of Murad work?
i have deep well defined ice pick / depressed scars. Does 3 sessions of morpheus rf and was no help. Please help
@ghjj975 i dont see a number on the description
I did morpheous and it was soooo painful. it actually made my skin worse and caused more scarring. i scar towards everything
why suddenly look so thin? are you feelin okay? 😔
Is the 1540 laser efficient for ice pick scars?
i really need banish because of acne scars that affect my self confidence. I hope it's true that it can remove scars
But banish is not available here in Philippines
I knooow! But they do ship in the Philippines.. so convenient and worth the risk for they have money back guarantee.
I have scars that are white. Please, I need to be seen in your clinic. Have you a clinic in the uk?
But what about red marks. They are impossible to get rid of 😢
the banisher and vit c can help fade the post acne mark, but you need to use sunscreen, preferably mineral sunscreen spf50+
Red marks are a lot easier to deal with than textural acne scars
@@InimeKai I know. I have horrible pitted scarring. Laser does help a bit, but not for the red marks for some reason.
@@vaivaivaiful don't red marks fade naturally on their own over time?
@@vaivaivaiful you dont want to use lasers if your skin turns red or has red marks... that means your skin will likely turn red from the procedure. i have fitzpatrick skin type 4 so i cant do radiofrequency or lasers. have tried it before and it ruined my skin
What about using CO2-laser polishing for scars? or the promo wasnt paid
Micro needling too deep is like over training in the gym...
