Thank you
👍
Ty
Thank you 🙏
only fake fans skip dumbass
This man has been educating us for years how are we just now finding about him from TIKTOK 😭😩 he’s awesome
😂😂yess
😭😭
Yeah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
He is so funny on tiktok 😆
I remember being in the changing room at Zara when I was 11 and my mum asking me “how long have they been there?” I looked down and saw brown stretch marks on my hips, slightly darker than my skin. I hadn’t even noticed them before. I go through days of not being bothered about them and then being insecure about them as an 19yr old now in uni. Learning to love yourself is definitely a process 💗
Remember you are enough...you always have been to those that matter. Loving yourself is a process but I hope you have conquered it. I spent my whole youth thinking I didn't matter. It took a near death experience to realize my worth. I was 56. ❤
Tbh almost everyone has some on their bottom and hips, even models.
I have some on the sides of my breasts , and inner thighs , as well of the bottom of my buttocks ://// I hate them so much , is there a way to make them less visible using home made remedies ? anything that's worked for u?
My husband said he don't see my stretch marks.. I think his eyes are blurry.. 😂
@@biubiubiu8359 yes I'm very lucky coz we don't sleep together for decades , I sleep in my own room.. 😂😂😂
No he doesn't want to spend money on scares 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kiranhina4694 yeah that one too.. 😂😂😂😂😂
smiley uy why do you still married? Just a curiosity.
it's called love haha. It blinded him from all ur flaws🤣
Once you mentioned autophagy, I knew I could trust your words. You are literally the only doctor I have seen that let's people know the healing powers of autophagy.
so eating yourself is good?
And Dr Fung of course 😅
Wish we had some before and after results to see how effective these treatments are. Also, so many of these treatments are just so rediculously expensive that those who would truly benefit can't afford them
very true
Prp was efficient on my lit cheloid scar i did it twice ( 600€) but less on my atrophic ones. I don't believe in lazer for ice pick scar.I'm a bit scared of burning. I would go more for a multi treatment with filler. That's just my opinion.
Dr. Berg has permanent removal of stretch marks videos, women are surprised how it works on comments. He made one 9 years ago, the money people spend on the lazer treatments, it works somewhat. Olive oil, vitamin e, coffee grinds it's amazing women say on the comments thanking him. 1 to 2 months depending on how long you have them if that's your issue. Look him up
@@veraguillory4480 that probably wont work. lasers basically stimulate collagen and some have to remove the outer layer of your skin to do that. i dont think a diy mask can do the same thing... its just not scientifically possible. those comments saying it worked couldve also been faked. at most the mask could moisturize and exfoliate your skin.
@@cyberpunklain Dr.Berg and his people wouldn't lie about such things, he even showed an image. With pure olive oil not the fake ones and organic coffee it does great, it's fading away mine and I barely did it. I just need to finish not enough time.
I have some stretch marks on my hips and thighs. My skin is very pale, and the scars have faded to a similar colour. I don't think they're that noticeable now, and I don't think they're ugly either. :-)
I’m dark skin. My marks are like lightning all over my body cause of growth spurt :(
@@iris1688 does it really help!??
I have stretch marks on my lower tummy from my kiddo, on my hips and inner thighs from loving food too much at times lol. They're barely visible and they don't bother me at all
@@tinaloye2014 Dr Berg has permanent removal of stretch marks with a olive oil, vitamin e, coffee grinds. He has two videos look it up one with a brush 9 years ago every other day, 5 minutes for 1to 2 months. Look him up.
Same my stretch marks faded to a similar colour. You can still see them but you have to look really closely
Ive had my stretch marks for 23 years since I had my first baby. They've never went away. They're deep in my skin.
I think you are an amazing Doctor. Thank you for your videos. I have a story about scars. I had a double mastectomy in 2014. I had issues with breast reconstruction and ended having 7 surgeries. I don’t want to put anyone off having reconstruction because of my experience. I had a very gnarly scar between my breasts. It was white and pulled but hey I have breasts now. I had my nipples tattooed last year. The medical tattoo artist needled my scar. I hadn’t thought about it until I saw this video. That scar is gone. I am grateful and amazed. She also tattooed my scars with flesh coloured ink. Yes I have the lines of the reconstruction but I feel so much better about my breasts.
Love how honest and realistic you are.
Dr. Berg has permanent removal of stretch marks if that's your issue. Women can't believe it on olive oil, vitamin e, coffee grinds I couldn't believe it. Look him up 2 videos one 9 years ago. Help others
@TheENofficial yes I am, just because he's a chiropractor, he did other studies and help many people.
@TheENofficiallol people with PhD scam people all the time, with medicine, instead of putting them a diet to heal them.
@TheENofficial I did not get scammed, I did what Dr. Berg said and my marks are improving. And it's not alot of money to be scammed, as some of these treatments are.
He is so handsome and I love listening to him.
He is gorgeous.
😳
Im a brown skinned woman with pale white lines running across my stomach post child birth. My stretch marks give a rippled effect on my tummy, clearly indicating severely torn epidermis. If i gaze at it too hard it looks like a zebra's belly😆
Same lol
Me 3
i love that you see it that way :D more of this, I have excema and allergies that cause my very dry skin to pop open in tears and due to me not having a pituitary gland I heal badly , so i have leopard dots on my shoulders upper arms and legs :D better looking at things that way than hating oneself!
Bio oil works, i had the same white strech marks . It takes months to see a different but it works and its cheap.
I wish I had white ones (actually none at all lol)I’m really white and my stretch marks are super red!
I have a large scar on my belly because I got two ostomy's last year. But honestly, I love it. It's like it is saying "I've healed, and so will all other wounds"
well that’s a scar, not a stretch mark
@@Kat-pe8ny The title of this video says "how to treat SCARS and stretch marks" .. that's why😉
Siligel, silicon sheeting, cover the scar
Laser treatment: ipl, 1540,
Injection: kenalog (side effect)
Acne scar: resurfacing like micro kneedling
I wish i had a doctor like you here, where i live.
It's funny how both Dr. Youn and Dr. Mike used to wear a suit and a tie in the beginning 😉
Im a teen and i've been getting so many stretch marks from one day or another. Some of them are fading to my skin color after the years but im so horrified, im beveloping one on my shoulder..
Same I’ve started getting a lot of them lately I think there’s some mixtures you can make and put them in your stretch marks and after a month or a couple of months they mostly become unnoticeable I think there’s things you can do that’s on TH-cam
Dr Berg has permanent removal of stretch marks with olive oil, vitamin e, and coffee. Women say it amazing, takes 1 to 2 months depending on how long you had them. Look him up, 2 video one with a brush 9 years ago.
Same I’m 13 and when I started lifting I got stretched marks around my biceps and my back chest area
I relate and honestly I want to burn my skin off, just wish it wasn’t as stigmatised
@@Charlie-ct8jk no try Dr. Berg says olive oil, vitamin e and coffee grinds, rub for 5 minutes about and stretch marks gone in 1 month or 2 depending on how long you had them.
Scars are permanent. They never disappear. You cannot operate a surgery without creating scars
1. Scar creams
Silicone-based scar creams work better. But make sure it leaves behind a film. If you use a cream, it creates a covering over the wound to prevent it from being exposed to air and other elements to help it help better. You can use it for 4 months, or 6 months or a year or even longer if you have darker or thicker skin. So you use a scar cream and a month or 2 later, it starts to look thicker, what should you do?
Sillion sheeting is good as well, and they have similar results to scar creams
2. Laser treatments
Wide variety of lasers and the one are most tested for scars most are pulsed dye lasers. Pulsed dye lasers target the color red and they can help decrease the redness of the scars. You might consider using intense pulsed light or nd:YAG laser. You can also use 1540 icon laser as well and you can see pretty good results with that. You need to do the laser treatment with a doctor in a doctor's office.
if that still can't treat your scars...
3. Injections
Typically doctors inject steroids for scars and the one they start with called Kenalog. Kenalog is triamcinolone and it comes in 3 different strengths: 10, 20, 40. Most of the time they start with 10 or dull it down a little bit. If Kenalog 10 doesn't work as we do it once a month, we move to 20, and if 20 doesn't work, we need 40.
The reason why we don't do it on all patients is that there are potential side effects of it. You can get thinning of the skin around the tissue with the steroid injection and if that happens, there's no way to reverse it. We only use Kenalog or steroid injections when the scarring is getting thick.
If the Kenalog injections aren't doing it, you've got a real scar problem.
4. Five thorough euro cell
They inject into your scar to help break down the scar tissue. It's usually not needed
5. Another surgery
Cut that scar out and restart over again. There's a high risk that that scar will come back, for ex there's a good chance that a thick scar will come back. You only do that when you have no other options.
If you remove scars and they keep coming back thick, low dose superficial radiation on keloid and other scars. Keloid is a thick big scar that just keeps coming back. You do surgery and once a day for the next 3 days, you do a radiation session each day and that usually works to prevent scars from coming back. The problem is there is a limited amount of radiation you can get, and it's still radiation so it's not something ideal to use.
ACNE pitted SCARRING is very different that's very very difficult to treat, best treated with resurfacing whether it's multiple chemical peels or fractional laser CO2. If it's not that bad you can use micro-needling
STRETCH MARKS start 9:00
Thanks
This is so goofy but at the start of the video, I heard "hey everybody, today I'm going to be sleeping with you..." 😁😁
I definitely heard speak but sleeping sounds more interesting 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I'm dead
Lol😔
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣seriously?
Geez what was on your mind before watching this!😂
Ive had these stretch marks on my knees and of the side of my hips since 2nd grade.. which means i have no chance removing these wonderful long stretch marks
We treat Scars and Stretch Marks with love, acceptance and respect :)
Selfless beauty Doc❤ gaining so much knowledge about beauty treatment/recommendations for free. I'm so blessed❤
Bio oil is 100% silicone 😍 that’s why it works so great on scars treatment too
If that true then why not just buy 100% O-ring lube and save lots of money
I just want to say that I like your videos.... more so than the Dr.Mike. You show caring for your patients and you admit that you “don’t know it all”! I live in Roma Italy . I am 62 years old and I would like to have my “ laugh lines” reduced. However, I don’t know which doctor to go to. I was even thinking of flying out to have you do it, but with Covid, I will have to think twice. Can you please give your viewers a criteria for choosing a plastic surgeon. Thank you (grazie)
Hey Dr Anthony!You are so helpful and caring.Thank you for your service.
Thank you for educating in strechmarks. Until I was 13 I was a see-trough, but in a summer I developed. In 3 months mostly.
Then the strechmarks came.
I knew it was the case,but I felt so insicure for so many years.
Thank you for clearing that up!
For those w keloids 5FU works excellently for tough keloids. After struggling w a jawline keloid for decades, 5FU flattened it. Radiation, kenalog, surgery ALL MADE MY SCAR WORSE N BIGGER. Scars on the jawline tend to be stubborn. However, kenelog on my knee post surgery worked great.
Damn he still looks this young-
He is Korean they have the best skin and skin remedies on earth
Lol Botox will do that
@@oppsyparadigm8111 girl just let them praise him why u gotta bring him down🤨
I was about to ask for this, thank you!!
I did!!, and he just directed me to this video. I love this channel. I’m definitely going to order his skin care products.
Dr Berg has permanent removal of stretch marks if that's your issue.
Silicone based scar can be used only if the scar is fresh. After fully healing in like 2 weeks silicone won’t work so you need to go to laser treatment as a next step.
Stretchmarks...we just cut it out. Super effective...thanks doc.
This information is very important many people struggle with this !

I had my upper arms done ( fat removed ) about 4 years ago. I now have large wide scars in my armpits. What treatment would be best for this problem.
I really enjoy your videos and think you’re so knowledgeable. I love your sense of humor too.
👍🥰
If you have almond oil and coconut oil mix and apply and use a microneedling roller it worked for me
How about for the old scar on the legs... Please. Thank u.
I love that he is actually honest with you
Will the fractional laser work on dark skin? How can u treat stretch marks on dark skin?
No
Microneedling
@@user-ms1ue8bd8r I wish the medical field would do more procedures to be more inclusive to melanin people.
Not a good option causes too much damage
I paid like 4k for Fraxel on my face for old acne scars, it did literally nothing. I wasted my money...
Dr. Youn, how did your new treatment for acne scars mentioned here, turn out? What results did you get, please?
Thanks for all your videos doc..
I'm so very impressed to your videos
❤️
God bless you doc. Anthony Youn! ❤️😊👍
I put baby oil on my stretch marks, now I've switched to sesame oil. I tried special oil for stretch marks but I didn't see much difference. I gained a lot of weight, but it was over a couple of years. I got stretch marks very very quickly when I started growing na dgoing throw puberty.
Does baby oil make it go away or graduating fainting itZ how long did it take for u to see some results
Favorite doc to learn from!
I have a scar next to my right eye and almost on my eyelid. I've had it for thirty years. I fell and had a deep gash. At the time, there was only one surgeon in my small town and he was the doctor people went to get stitches. Unfortunately, his surgical training was mostly from his military training and experience treating battle wounds. All of this to say, he botched stitching up my wound. It isn't thick, but it is a deep scar. I've seen two plastic surgeons who both went straight into surgery as the only treatment. I thought they would at least recommend injections. I wish I could show you a picture so you could advise me. If you know any plastic surgeons in the Nashville area that you can recommend, I would greatly appreciate it ❤
Hi I do have the similar scar as you.l got when I was a kid it's almost twenty years ago on my forehead.do you still have it?
@@nushranatheer6568 yes
@@lisalynnn If it is a gash with a wide scar then scar revision surgery is the best option. The new scar will be longer but less wide and it will have a clean rather than a rough edge.
@lizabetx483 Thanks! I'm actually going to see a plastic surgeon for a different reason, but I'll ask about this as well.
@@lisalynnn You're welcome.
I hope 5 years from now, they develop an instrument to completely remove stretch marks.
Thank you for this information. Much Love
I have some pitted scars. When I was a teenager, I had cystic acne as well as me being a picker. But the cystic acne I had was so painful. The spots that I had had from it would be under the skin and would turn dark red and purple. And whether it surfaced or not, it left indentations. And now I have scars. But ive noticed that over the years, I've done face shaving with an eye brow razor like how you see ppl doing now. And its helped with smaller scars. But its taken years for really noticeable results. Its even helped the creasing I had between my eyes from squinting. But I do still have a lot of deep scars.
I’m jealous of people who don’t have stretch marks.
I’m using silicone gel and sheets, and my scar is looking good
I used virgin coconut oil for my acne scars. It worked very very well. And it removed my wrinkles as well.
Wenny Eva Wenny what brand please
@@Insight189 l make it myself, the cold pressed way. I just want to be sure that mine is completely virgin.

Hi doctor Youn, this is amazing thank you for your time! May I ask how does one get rid of old 10year plus stretch marks please??
I just got my cell phone as a gift & learned about TH-cam. I came across a site to my surprise that says to using Vicks Vapor Rub Cream. My stretch marks are 51yrs old. But I was blessed for I live on an island and one day at the beach with my son. A young man came up to me and asked me, Why wasn't I wearing a bikini. I explained that I had stretch marks. He told me that men don't even noticed them. They noticed a shapely body. I smiled and thanked him since then I had wore a 2pc. I never had anyone mention them. I went to the Dollar store purchased 4jars used nightly. I notice that my s/m was getting lighter and my skin was feeling smoother. It also help with my spider veins. Just think if I had known about the Vicks earlier I be running around in my itty bitty bikini. SMILE

American CVS items are 100 times stronger than European meds, I got acne crème in CVS, the first thing that worked for me after Being treated for many years in Europe.
What acne cream was it?
Why does this video look like it was filmed in the 90s?
Hi Doc,
Any advise or products for hyperpigmentation ? Hydroquinone 4%? Or?
Hi dr. Youn, I’ve had a lot a lot of stuff done and have a lot of scars! The worst in my scalp!! I’m Dutch and get really bad scars. Guess what? After seeing your video about sugar, I stopped all sugar in my diet 4 months and my scalp scars have calmed down so much. !
Your skin tho. What filter is this? (jk) You’re beautiful.
Lol
Nice observation!

You're my favorite person ever right now. Thank you.
Is there a foundation we can donate to for stretchmark research of something...? It's so bad from my first child and I wish I could wear a bikini 😭 I'm thin but my stomach is very textured.
Be glad that yours are from your baby and not from the incompetence of your parents.
Bikini body-find a suit you like and stick it on your body. Anyone who would say anything is a monster but you could just flash your baby and tell them you made that. Don’t end up like my mom, over 70, half dead and still avoiding a lake swim because your body isn’t perfect. It’s hard to watch.
You give me a lot of knowledge.
Dr Youn, I developed inferiority complex because Of some holes from blackheads on top of my nose. Is there a treatment?
My girlfiend just had a rhinoplasty done then fell off an electric scooter and scrapped her nos and mouth(below the nose) and she is totally freakiing out. Like i have done research and I remember that she really liked your videos. Please help doctor youn
Thankful.

Doctor it would be interesting if you could explain methods to whiten dark armpits
Lemon juice
Do not use lemon juice, it can leave dark marks.
Can you do both cream and laser at the sametime?
For scars- boots scar serum is really good and non greasy or solutions for skin scar serum.
Both non greasy and can be used a few times a day
Make up industry should seriously make products that completely hide stretch marks
anybody here got stretch marks when he Lost weight
I love you Dr.Youn!

Hi J. alyssa, You want to put silicone gel and silicone tape AFTER the stitches are remived when the incision is no longer opened.
My sister scratched up my face when I was 3 years old.
I tried everything to treat my old scares on my face. Hopefully this will help.
DrAnthony i’m a huge fan I’m interested in doing chin Lipo I was wondering if you specialize in that and how much does that run overall price rite range
India...people use coconut oil for stretch marks...any oil...
Hi Dr. Youn I really enjoyed your contents, can you please cover also "chicken skin"
Thanks a lot!
He is not a dermatologist …I am not sure that is his area of expertise.
Yeah i have chicken pox scar
What is a name of a great cream we can purchase?
For loose skin stretch marks use a derma roller. It worked for me
Do not use dermarollers at home ! Always get it done by a professional !
A needling pen is less damaging to your skin.
