@@bobbies1562 It's all about representation though. Black women like seeing themselves like everyone else. Also, not every POC dermatologist is black or personally interested or can personally relate to the skin specifics and skin differences common to those with deeply melanated skin. It's hard to overstate the comfort one feels when you have the ability to trust the doctor you're receiving advice from can personally relate.
That’s what I was thinking!!! I typically find older men which isn’t an issue, but it’s so nice to find a female dermatologist after like a month of looking!
I tried this for the first time. I am of Indian decent and have a lot of facial hair. The products are pricey but I love how my face felt. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how much dirt and hair came out. It is going to be my monthly routine. Thank you for doing this video.
I really don’t get the handful of people who come and give a thumbs down 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ u don’t have to watch all of this gorgeousness u know? Some of us watch and listen on repeat 🔂 thanks for educating doctor Stephens
My daughter (16 as of a week ago) and I both watched this video and oilplanned shortly thereafter. We were so amazed by how much came off. We couldn't stop laughing and smiling at ourselves in the mirror. Waiting for the week to go by to see what our skin looks like.
@@kayla5285 I forgot about this comment. Lol… I think it has helped. My son told me earlier this weekend my skin looked amazing. And I noticed that my dry eczema prone skin stays hydrated longer. 🥰
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 No I haven't. I'm going to do it again later today. I plan to do an Indian clay mask after and then apply fresh aloe afterwards. Hopefully, that's not over doing it.
Even though I've come to know that dermaplanning is fine to do, there were still some things I was worried about, but you helped to ease those worries. This video was really informative and now I can comfortably dermaplan, particularly more frequently, because I was leaving months and months in between!
I’ve been doing this way before I knew what it was but your video helped me with the proper ways to prep my skin and care for it afterwards, thank you.
Listen!!! This is how youtube videos should be, right to the point, factual informative, shows results, and step by step how to. I love it! New subbie over here 👋🏾
I don’t think I could like this video anymore than I do but you’ve explained everything so well. I’ve just tried it on myself at home and I’m amazed with how quick and easy it is!
Hello Doctor, first of all, thank you very much for creating this channel and sharing so much knowledge, secondly, I wanted to say that so much dedication is reflected not only in your number of followers and comments, but also that you have reached new frontiers, I am Brazilian and do not speak English very well but I'm here trying to translate pausing every moment, because its content and teaching are worth every second of the video! Please don't stop!
Can you please do a video on sebaceous filaments? I feel like the pores on my nose and in the corners of my nose are constantly clogged no matter what chemical exfoliant I use.
Saving the world one face at a time! Thank you such an amazing video with actual helpful content. Please create a video recommending skin routine/ products for the dry or dehydrated skin community!! Not all of us are oily. TIA
THANK YOU DR.A FOR EXPLAINING HOW TO SHAVE AND BEING HONEST. MOST BEAUTY PARLORS WILL SAY NOT TO SHAVE ETC BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR MONEY. But your so HONEST that is why your BEAUTIFUL....❤
Was literally just talking about getting this done my sis who’s an amazing esthetician. The first I got it done by someone else and it was dry and my skin reacted to that so I told her lets use oil this time.
I was watching these two kind of arrogant estheticians who by all means we’re really good at their job but they were really discouraging this treatment as a DIY. Thank you so much Alexis for empowering us to do this, I’m sure if we’re being clean it’s not that bad hahaha yay!
wow, I've never really thought about Dermaplaning before but I think you just sold me on it! Loved the step by step instructions and the info on why it works!
You have absolutely gorgeous skin!! I was wondering would this be okay for someone with a hormone imbalance/PCOS? I'm really worried about excessive hair growth.
I absolutely love your videos, I have an olive complexion, I too am afflicted with eczema. It used to only be on my hands and feet but for the last 10 years I started getting it on my face. Your videos are so educational, I love how you explain everything so well and don’t condescend. Your skin is amazing. Your videos are constantly playing in the background while I work. You truly are AMAZING
Just happened to bumped into this video and I’ll be watching mor and also using the information. Yes, her skin is beautiful and fresh and alive. Thank you
Hello Dr. Stephens thank you for sharing this technique. This is something new I had no idea about. Can you please do a video recommending good non comedogenic moisturizers and Vitamin C products for oily acne prone skin?
I was literally thinking all day about how I wish I could schedule a dermanplaning treatment with my esthetician but was wondering what your thoughts were about “in-between appointment” dermaplaning at home. And thank goodness this was your most recent video! Yesss, I am obsessed with what it does to my skin, especially with serums and makeup application. 🤩
What a great educational video. Thank you for the step by step process, the do's/ do nots & pro tips. I'm looking forward to trying this complexion enhancing treatment. Cheers 😉🌷
Just came across this video today and want to thankyou for it! A couple years ago I had purchased the dermaflash luxe and it wasn't for me since I have dry skin and u can't use any type of oil or oil cleanser. It just pulled and tugged at my skin.I absolutely adored their pre flash prep cleanse but they don't sell it without the refill blades unfortunately as they r useless to me. I will definitely be buying the beginner friendly tool for the oil planing🥰🙏
She's mentioned microneedling in another video and said it is fine if done by a professional but advised against doing at home and the ones sold for home use basically scratch the skin and can cause irritation
Susan Yara of Mixed Makeup says this process should not be performed at home. Have a professional such as a dermatologist, or plastic surgeon, or esthetician.
Dr Alexis: I definitely would love an answer to the red light possibly causing hyperpigmentation in dark skin question. It’s the only unanswered question that stands between me and the platinum LED red light! Thanks!
I was told by a practitioner that you should use the blue light in conjunction with the red. that the blue will suppress the melanin brought up by the red.
@@DrAlexisStephens I recently learned about dermaplaning, I wanted to get a facial for my birthday last month and that is what was introduced to me. I liked it, planning on getting another one before the end of this month. you mentioned to get it done at night to avoid the sun rays, how does one get it done at night when someone else is getting paid to do it? Is there an alternative suggestion? Thank you
I’m about to start watching her videos. She’s great at teaching! Oddly enough, I watched a video last night and this lady said to do upward strokes, yet it seems that everyone else says downward strokes?? Hmm..
Would you please do a segment about under arms, dark spots, deodorants, antiperspirants, detoxing, baking soda, essential oils, apple cider vinegar, bacteria etc..
After I dermaplan, I do another gentle face wash. Followed by cerave healing ointment. I’ve noticed it helps treat any cuts I may have gotten. I don’t do the serums yet bc I’m still getting my technique down. I tend to be heavy handed and add too much pressure 🥴
Thank you so much for this comprehensive video!!! This is so helpful! You are so articulate and I appreciate the production level of your presentation!
Omg thank you for this, I asked a beautician about this recently and she said the hairs will grow back thicker 😤 glad you did a video on this Dr Stephens 😃and what I love about your channel Dr Stephen is that you list the products and information in the description box so if you miss something one can always look through this section and they will see everything that you mention, this time and effort you put in doing this we so appreciate it🙏thank you!
@@avanulaneway8418She never stated that you will need to continue doing dermaplaning or you will get a beard. The hairs will simply come back as they were before!
Your skin looks amazing Dr. I respect and trust your opinion MOST because you are a specialist. HOWEVER, I DONT THINK ITS ANY DIFFERENT THAN SHAVING THE SKIN? I also invest a bit in skin care and also in exfoliating products but I am very skeptical towards this. I DO threading to remove my facial hair but I dare not put knife. Not sure about this.
I usually don’t let the hair on my face bother me but the only reason I have not tried this yet is because I am terrified my hair will grow back so much thicker. Some people say no but then how is it that when you shave legs arm pits arms or any of that sort the hair frowns back thick and hard. I really want to try it though
Thank you! This is really trending at the moment and this information is so insightful, these videos are lovely. You are so beautiful and have a smile that lights up the room 😊
Finally, a black dermatologist on RUclips!! 😍🙌🏽 Instantly subscribed!
The Doctor has beautiful skin! There is more than one PoC dermatologist on YT, fyi.

Same here. And she's hella young. I was like go diva Dr. Alexis
That’s what I was thinking!!! I typically find older men which isn’t an issue, but it’s so nice to find a female dermatologist after like a month of looking!
Moi aussi depuis la France !
I'm trying to listen to what she is saying but her gorgeousness is distracting 😍
Aww Thank you!
True story!! I spent the first few minutes of this video just thinking how she is one of the most beautiful people I've seen in my entire life!
Seriously 😍
Oh dear 😅 I read your comment and then I got distracted lol. I’m just going to tell my self derma-planing will help me be beautiful too
FAAXXX
OMG the most soothing voice I've every heard
Total agreement. Charming relaxing voice, very Classy and eloquent .
Right!!! I just loved hearing her talk!
I agree she does have a lovely voice xx
Beautiful skin! Thanks for everything
This was an unintentional asmr video for sure!
When your skin is a walking advertisement of your shared knowledge and expertise...You would definitely be my dermatologist..
Your skin is UnReal!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks so much 🥰
Just thought the same. Is that real

Your hair looks lovely, Dr. Alexis!
Thank you so much!
Does Dr Alexis have her own skin care products? if yes, where can I get these?
Glad to have found you. A female black dermatologist ☺️❤️. Thanks Doctor!

You are so beautiful. Your skin is unbelievably beautiful. ❤️
Thank you!
Learning skincare in cosmetology school right now and this video covered a lot. Thanks!
You are welcome!
Hi Doc what if you don’t have a red light at home. Is it necessary?

You have absolutely gorgeous skin!! I was wondering would this be okay for someone with a hormone imbalance/PCOS? I'm really worried about excessive hair growth.
I have the same question 😭
I tri it and my hair grew more and darker so I stopped
laser removal might work better

Me too!!

This is what I was wondering. Does the fine hair grow back looking thicker?
I finally tried derma planing for the first , I love my result my skin is glowing 😊thanks for sharing ❤

Totally Agree and I’ve watched many ‼️
I did not want stubble so I used Nair for the Face to “ dermaplan. I loved it and as the hair has grown back no Stubble.
Would you please do a segment about under arms, dark spots, deodorants, antiperspirants, detoxing, baking soda, essential oils, apple cider vinegar, bacteria etc..
