This is my view on microneedling. In summary I do use this on a daily basis, however I prefer manual microneedling over devices. The BIGGEST mistake I see is that people go too deep with this procedure. Stay safe. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
I really need to come to Australia to come see you. Dermatologists don't know ANYTHING about reversing acne scars like you. I've unfortunately had a lot of bad treatments (including microneedling) that ruined my poreless skin 😞
I wish I lived in Brisbane so I had the opportunity to have the Dr Davin Lim experience! You sound like such a great dermatologist with such a great set of morals. We need more medical professionals like yourself!

I did micro needling in a dermatological clinic two days ago. I've been doing it since 2017. My skin is younger and prettier. The pores on my skin are smaller, the wrinkles around my mouth are gone. The dark circles under my eyes are clearer, too. I love micro needling 😀
Hi glad to read your results I am 24 I have open pores on my cheeks and few small rolling scars will microneedling help with them and could you please rate your results in percentage
@@dimplepandey9570 Yes, microneedling will absolutely help. I am speaking from first hand experience. I had rolling & boxscars that I successfully resurfaced and improved on my own with at home microneedling. But you must use tretinoin or retin-A in conjunction with that regularly for maximum optimal results. I recommend you use those nightly. Make sure to moisturize afterwards and night, and always use sunscreen, that's extremely important.
This is the best explanation about scars I have ever received. The comparison with the wire on the ceiling makes it so clear. Now I understand how a scars form. Here in Belgium you get little attention from a dermatologist if you consult them in connection with blocked pores or scars. I am now 75 years old and sometimes still get outbreaks with skin rash accompanied by blisters. Through a treatment with Roacutane (years ago) and repeated antibiotic cures, my skin is now oversensitive and extremely dry and thin. Unfortunately the distance to Australia is so far ..... Thank you for all your good information Dr. Lim, I learn a lot from it.

I've had 5 Dermapen treatments with my dermatologist. She has gone progressively deeper. Started with 25 and my last visit she used a 2.5. It has done wonders for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. I've also had some fillers and I'm sooo happy with the results of both treatments. Love your videos.

You should spend some time to chat with older tattoo artists. We have been doing scar relaxation, and dry needling for at least sixty years. Our needle groupings in my experience having used both micro needling wheels and tattoo machines, offer superior results for very specific issues. Such as relaxing burn scars, helping to plump up deep groves and wrinkles. As well as treat very thin skin. The way our machines work, they do not penetrate as deeply. And the variety of needle rigs make a real difference as well. The needles are grouped differently, closer together, woven in rows or arranged into rounds. This allows precise usage, and the added benefit of being able to use pigment when treating scars to help blend them in as well as relax them.
Also, so COOL for you to take up and believe in your staff. By you believing in them, it makes their job so much better every day. Man, I really dig you. I’m due for my “work” or work I want to have done and it’s going to be hard to find someone that measures up to you.

At age 51 I am still battling acne scars. My scars are mostly pock like rolling scars from years and years of severe acne. Over the course of about 3 years, I had painful Fraxel laser three times on my face and on my shoulders. I’ve used TCA peels for years, yet I still have my scars. They are a bit shallower now, but they are still very noticeable. I’ve spent in the thousands. I avoided social functions that involve cocktail dresses or bathing suits my whole life. The emotional toll of acne is horrendous. None of the the derms I’ve seen here in the US do the subcission technique and just want to have a technician zap a laser or write a script for retinA. I recently bought a derma pen, I’m going to try that now. I appreciate your advice on the depth. I wish more docs were like you Dr. Lim. Thank you for taking the time to make these informative videos and get the correct information out there. Too many of us have been misled.

Thank you for this great video. Wish most people at treatment places were as honest and smart as you and wish I watched this before paying for so many treatments. I paid a package of 10 microneedling session cause they told me it would help my scars and acne. 5 sessions later, I am still breaking out and now I keep getting new scars due to reoccurring acne, making microneedling counter productive. I recently discovered your channel and Dr. Dray. I am learning so much from you both. I am on a mission to clear my acne and have more clarity and knowledge on how to do so because of you and Dr. Dray.
Yes!!! I LOVE THIS TOPIC!! What a treat for me, and I’m sure lots of other people! I just got the notification, haven’t seen this video yet, but I can’t wait to sit back and watch this in its entirety when the day is done. I’m sure it’s gonna be fantastic as always! You’re the greatest Dr. Lim! Can’t wait!
Microneedling was the best thing for my scars I used to have all of them I did 2mm and after that I did prp And co2 and subcision too Everything together gave me my dreams skin 🙌🙌🙌
@@otakuneet5467 I spend 3-4 years doing fews treatment every year CO2 laser is extremely aggressive took months for my skin get back to normal, I am brunette! Tca and microneedling plus prp does miracles
Questions: 1. What depth for best collagen production & how often. 2. What depth for product like bit C absorption and how often? 3. Is it true that Vit C should not be used after or with micro-needling because it causes granulomas? 4. What to use with and after deeper micro-needling 0,5 and above ? 5. Are NOT genuine needle derma-rollers safe? ( the ones that are made of needle uni blades where needles get wider, where the needles are bet 400-600 needles per roller. VS the genuine dermatollers where needles installed within a wheel , where the needles are the same width on the bottom and middle and are not as many max 200 needles per roller) Thank you 😊 thank you 🙏🏼 Ps. I love the spacial imagination regarding scar treatment and how visually you think, Dr. good info. Any advice on a scar on the nose- after the piercing/ no hole any more but it is has darken. very old scar.( a dark dot)
I used 0.5 mm microneedle to my cheeks, and it bleeds a lot. So I prefer to use 0.5 instead of 0.75 to 1mm, except for pain (I use numbing cream) it has less downtime than the 0.75 - 1 m. So it means I can perform microneedling 2x a month for 1 year and I am very happy with the results.

I’ve done 3x out of 5x dermaroller package, performed by a GP in a beauty doctors clinic, and it was successfully ruined my scars even worse. I regret that decision until now, and never again I allow my face be touched by GP/aesthecian and esp by dermaroller.
i wish id started microneedling first. i spent thousands on fraxel but tca cross and microneedling was what got finally gotten rid of my acne scars and it was a fraction of the cost too. my skin is not 100% perfect or flawless but it has definitely been a massive improvement.
Your comment caught my attention. I have significant visible acne scars. I have done 3 treatments of microneedling and was actually thinking about fraxel hoping it would be a better option for me. Microneedling has improved the appearance of my scars but they are still visible. I feel like after the first treatment I haven’t seen much improvement. It’s only been 5 months since and I know it will take many months to see a final result
TH-cam live would be great! Just make sure after the live has finished you keep it up on your Chanel so others can watch it in the future. Some you tubers delete their live videos when they’re done

I went to a dermatologist run clinic today (staffed by qualified dermatologists alongside dermal therapists) and they’ve suggested microneedling to me. I went in for concerns around rosacea, but I also have some mild (light/faint) melasma, and because of the melasma they said they would not recommend any laser treatment for the rosacea - as they believe this would definitely make the melasma worse. I don’t have any scarring on my skin.. my biggest complaint is just the rosacea. After seeing this video I am so confused.. It seems microneedling is best for people with scarring more than anything else. They told me the microneedling was to help rejuvenate my skin and improve it’s appearance - saying it should help stop the rosacea getting worse and calm it down, and also saying it would possibly improve my melasma spots. I’m at a loss, because even qualified dermatologists seem to have varied opinions etc. I’ve been to a few different ones and been recommended different things (although haven’t gone ahead with any treatment yet), so just can’t wrap my head around what the best path is.

i love that you commit to the patient a minimal level of scar reduction. i'm in the states i was offered scar reduction with a laser for $1,700.00 w/o guarantee. i use a microneedle tool for face and surgical scar, and i think your video just explained why i'm not getting me improvement on surgical scars
I'm in Houston Texas too l get my treatment three days ago in laser skin Solutions 3 treatment for $500 if you want more than one but , a single treatment is about $200 they have good prices.
Very professional and lovely of you to mention Dr Dray & Dr Bunting. Thank you for this awesome review! I had microneedling RF done with Dr John Sullivan in Miranda, Sydney last week and really appreciate this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@@nargesafzali929 oh ok thank you I was kind of interested by this procedure I guess I need to find another one... Do you know which one can help for the acne scars ?
👏👏👏 In the US, especially on social media, the rampancy of "results may vary" in advertisements, especially for laser centers. The term "maintenance" is even being used widely for procedures very young clients go in for, which are completely unnecessary. I have serious boxcar, icepick, you name it scars, so to see these fresh faces going in, gives me pause. From not being able to tolerate Accutane due to *shocking* back pain, I used all sorts of drying products. now i know my skin was exacerbated from all those acne products. The video was amazing, I did not know the scars were anchored down Id love to find a dermatologist with your integrity here where I live but am still early on in my search.
You are an awesome and inspirational doctor. Will you be coming to California any time soon for assessments? I think you had visited Dr.Emer's office last year.
I don't have acne.. I just want a good treatment for anti aging.. To smooth fine lines a tighten my skin a bit.. I'm so confused and sick of wasting my money.. I'm sorry but this video has just confused me more.. I thought micro needling was the way to go... Scared to trust anyone..
No there is micro needling called Endymed Intensif that reduces pore size and tightens skin and reduces hyperpigmentation (if you have any). You might have to do 10 treatments to see drastic results if you have deep wrinkles and when you’re done your skin still gets better in time (that’s including your aftercare)
He clearly mentioned that the method can help with fine lines anf wrinkles. The idea of the video is that it's not a universal solution, a holy grail for everyone, and you should be careful when doing it at home. But a dermatologist can assess your individual case and pursue the best course for you. That's the idea that I got from what he said.
Bridgette Collum 80% of extrinsic skin aging is caused by sun exposure.... are you wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen that’s SPF 30-50 and applying enough as well as reapplying? As far as topical skincare, there’s a mountain of evidence supporting tretinoin for anti aging. AHA specifically Glycolic Acid, peptides, Vitamin C, niacinamide, and other antioxidants are also good ingredients to look for. Once you have deep lines though you’re looking at in office treatments. Botox and filler will of course take care of fine lines and volume. You can also try peels and laser.
You’re an honest person 🙏 Honesty has a power that very few people can handle. Please give me a two pieces of advice is the micro needling ( Vivace) helps to remove the wrinkles? and what is your recommendations for tighten face , what we should to do to keep our face , neck will not get more wrinkles? Thanks 🙏

PLEASE ANSWER THIS: Will using SOLELY DERMAPEN** PRP help at all with deep old scar with very tough skin? How often should I use the Dermapen? And how deep? Thank you kindly 🙏
Hi Dr. Lim, I very much understand why using a disposable dermaroller is the way to go (for at home microneedling) and understand the importance of using 0.25-0.5mm needles. I remember you mentioning that getting a cheap disposable dermaroller off of ebay is perfectly fine but am having a hard time finding one, as there are so many options and have heard horror stories of some with fake needles i.e. just pointed pieces of metal vs. actual titanium needles. Would you happen to have a brand or link you recommend that I can feel confident in buying? Thanks so much

Hi doctor Lim, I have a video idea!! As a child I was very fair skinned but as a result of playing outside I got very tan and been maybe sunburned once. Is the sun damage permanently? Because my complexion never been the same since.
I am facing the same situation. My face is a lot darker than rest of my body. I have tried many products nothing seems to work for the damage caused by sun 😒

Who should be doing microneedling? I visited a derm and she barely looked at my acne scars and sent me over to the medi-spa for the aesthetician guide and perform the needles. I would expect her to look, touch and remove my mask!!! This is in the US. Does Australia do it differently? do we have to go to a plastic surgeon here to have someone qualified enough to perform scar revision?
So you kept repeating 6 treatments of micro needling. Would you said that it as far as you would recommend, only six? Because I've had about six treatments in the past year with little to no results. My scars are about 20 years old. Could that be a factor? So much questions and concerns here. You seem so professional and with so much experience, think you're the only one who might be able to help me.

Dr. Lim, as always, great video. I discovered your videos completely by accident. I was looking for solutions for my mother's melasma and your tips have been incredible. I was wondering if you could do a video/insta on how to "control" hormonal acne? Or how to go about it I guess. Or at least your viewpoints on this. Then again it seems the subject of acne is expansive...anyways, thank you so much for your efforts. I share your videos with friends whenever I can. Seeing your videos make me so happy. You love your work and it shows. Truly, I'm a fan. Take care!
I doctor, you are right microneedling can worse melasma specially doing it too deeply. In order to help one should use it at a depth of 0.25 with tirosinase inhibitors including peptides. I also like to use it alterned with chemical peels and an at home treatment using despigmentants and anti oxidantes

My laser tech told me to use a 2.5mm and I raaaaan haha thank you so much for your work! I’m a big fan!
He told 2.5 mm to do at home?
Dr., why are you not in California! I need you in my life!!!!!
Im grateful for all the direct to the point and thorough informations on all his videos.
Thank you for this great video. Wish most people at treatment places were as honest and smart as you and wish I watched this before paying for so many treatments. I paid a package of 10 microneedling session cause they told me it would help my scars and acne. 5 sessions later, I am still breaking out and now I keep getting new scars due to reoccurring acne, making microneedling counter productive. I recently discovered your channel and Dr. Dray. I am learning so much from you both. I am on a mission to clear my acne and have more clarity and knowledge on how to do so because of you and Dr. Dray.
Yes!!! I LOVE THIS TOPIC!! What a treat for me, and I’m sure lots of other people! I just got the notification, haven’t seen this video yet, but I can’t wait to sit back and watch this in its entirety when the day is done. I’m sure it’s gonna be fantastic as always! You’re the greatest Dr. Lim! Can’t wait!
LO< cheers. Davin
You're very passionate Dr Davin! I love it. TH-cam live! Yessss
Microneedling was the best thing for my scars I used to have all of them
I did 2mm and after that I did prp
And co2 and subcision too
Everything together gave me my dreams skin 🙌🙌🙌
@@otakuneet5467 I did the microneedling myself
CO2 laser depends on area
And all depends what do you need
@@otakuneet5467 I spend 3-4 years doing fews treatment every year
CO2 laser is extremely aggressive took months for my skin get back to normal, I am brunette!
Tca and microneedling plus prp does miracles
Exquisite video. You are a truly ethical physician and human being. Best regards from the U.S.A.
Questions:
1. What depth for best collagen production & how often.
2. What depth for product like bit C absorption and how often?
3. Is it true that Vit C should not be used after or with micro-needling because it causes granulomas?
4. What to use with and after deeper micro-needling 0,5 and above ?
5. Are NOT genuine needle derma-rollers safe? ( the ones that are made of needle uni blades where needles get wider, where the needles are bet 400-600 needles per roller.
VS the genuine dermatollers where needles installed within a wheel , where the needles are the same width on the bottom and middle and are not as many max 200 needles per roller)
Thank you 😊 thank you 🙏🏼
Ps. I love the spacial imagination regarding scar treatment and how visually you think, Dr. good info.
Any advice on a scar on the nose- after the piercing/ no hole any more but it is has darken. very old scar.( a dark dot)
I used 0.5 mm microneedle to my cheeks, and it bleeds a lot. So I prefer to use 0.5 instead of 0.75 to 1mm, except for pain (I use numbing cream) it has less downtime than the 0.75 - 1 m. So it means I can perform microneedling 2x a month for 1 year and I am very happy with the results.
Thanks for viewing, for more skin care tips @drdavinlim INSTAGRAM
I would see a dermatologist for scar revisions before micro needling. Thanks again for giving us good honest videos. I will check out instagram.

Very informatie and important! Thanks Dr. Lim. YES to a youtube live!!!
I really respect you and your no bs reality. Very refreshing.
I’ve done 3x out of 5x dermaroller package, performed by a GP in a beauty doctors clinic, and it was successfully ruined my scars even worse. I regret that decision until now, and never again I allow my face be touched by GP/aesthecian and esp by dermaroller.
How did it ruin it ? Did your scars become deeper. Please explain 🙂🙌
i wish id started microneedling first. i spent thousands on fraxel but tca cross and microneedling was what got finally gotten rid of my acne scars and it was a fraction of the cost too. my skin is not 100% perfect or flawless but it has definitely been a massive improvement.
Your comment caught my attention. I have significant visible acne scars. I have done 3 treatments of microneedling and was actually thinking about fraxel hoping it would be a better option for me. Microneedling has improved the appearance of my scars but they are still visible. I feel like after the first treatment I haven’t seen much improvement. It’s only been 5 months since and I know it will take many months to see a final result
Just had my first session of tca cross and miceoneedling a week ago... was it really effective?
@@divyasrirajyala6517 hi, how are your scars now? Have you seen an improvement?? I am thinking of microneedling too.
TH-cam live would be great!
Just make sure after the live has finished you keep it up on your Chanel so others can watch it in the future. Some you tubers delete their live videos when they’re done

AWESOME CONTENT DAVIN!!! DON'T PULL BACK THE REIGNS!!!👍👍
I went to a dermatologist run clinic today (staffed by qualified dermatologists alongside dermal therapists) and they’ve suggested microneedling to me. I went in for concerns around rosacea, but I also have some mild (light/faint) melasma, and because of the melasma they said they would not recommend any laser treatment for the rosacea - as they believe this would definitely make the melasma worse. I don’t have any scarring on my skin.. my biggest complaint is just the rosacea.
After seeing this video I am so confused.. It seems microneedling is best for people with scarring more than anything else. They told me the microneedling was to help rejuvenate my skin and improve it’s appearance - saying it should help stop the rosacea getting worse and calm it down, and also saying it would possibly improve my melasma spots.
I’m at a loss, because even qualified dermatologists seem to have varied opinions etc. I’ve been to a few different ones and been recommended different things (although haven’t gone ahead with any treatment yet), so just can’t wrap my head around what the best path is.
Yeah doctor, you should do youtube live!
will do. For more details on topics covered in this video goto @drdavinlim INSTAGRAM, I upload 3-4 feeds a day, 30 times more subjects coved than on TH-cam - cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Would you happen to know good scar experts in Toronto that deal with acne scarring
I'd like to know too
i love that you commit to the patient a minimal level of scar reduction. i'm in the states i was offered scar reduction with a laser for $1,700.00 w/o guarantee. i use a microneedle tool for face and surgical scar, and i think your video just explained why i'm not getting me improvement on surgical scars
why arent you getting improvements?

Excellent video on improving acne scars. This is probably the best video I have seen. Thank you Dr Davin Lim. I am getting my second subcision done.
Straight shooter! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 I love honesty!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. Here in TX, USA clinics charge $400/session for SkinPen!
I'm in Houston Texas too l get my treatment three days ago in laser skin Solutions 3 treatment for $500 if you want more than one but , a single treatment is about $200 they have good prices.
Very professional and lovely of you to mention Dr Dray & Dr Bunting. Thank you for this awesome review! I had microneedling RF done with Dr John Sullivan in Miranda, Sydney last week and really appreciate this video. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I wish all the doctors were so knowledgeable and honest like you. I have acne scars and got few treatments of mirconeedling RF after watching this video I’m gonna stop on the next treatment and find a good doctor who can treat my scars with tca hopefully
Thank you for being honest
What’s Microneedling RF please ? DId it work?
Microoneedling RF is microneedling with Radio Frequency
Like dr davin said it’s not reducing the acne scars 90 or 95% it just stimulate the collagen and smoother the pours
I mean face pores
@@nargesafzali929 oh ok thank you I was kind of interested by this procedure I guess I need to find another one... Do you know which one can help for the acne scars ?
👏👏👏 In the US, especially on social media, the rampancy of "results may vary" in advertisements, especially for laser centers. The term "maintenance" is even being used widely for procedures very young clients go in for, which are completely unnecessary. I have serious boxcar, icepick, you name it scars, so to see these fresh faces going in, gives me pause. From not being able to tolerate Accutane due to *shocking* back pain, I used all sorts of drying products. now i know my skin was exacerbated from all those acne products. The video was amazing, I did not know the scars were anchored down Id love to find a dermatologist with your integrity here where I live but am still early on in my search.
You are an awesome and inspirational doctor. Will you be coming to California any time soon for assessments? I think you had visited Dr.Emer's office last year.
I didn’t know you could ask the clinic for a written promise!
I don't have acne.. I just want a good treatment for anti aging.. To smooth fine lines a tighten my skin a bit.. I'm so confused and sick of wasting my money.. I'm sorry but this video has just confused me more.. I thought micro needling was the way to go... Scared to trust anyone..
Bridgette Collum I agree. I’m more confused. So is microneeding bad for anti aging but good for acne scars only?
No there is micro needling called Endymed Intensif that reduces pore size and tightens skin and reduces hyperpigmentation (if you have any).
You might have to do 10 treatments to see drastic results if you have deep wrinkles and when you’re done your skin still gets better in time (that’s including your aftercare)
He clearly mentioned that the method can help with fine lines anf wrinkles. The idea of the video is that it's not a universal solution, a holy grail for everyone, and you should be careful when doing it at home. But a dermatologist can assess your individual case and pursue the best course for you. That's the idea that I got from what he said.
Bridgette Collum 80% of extrinsic skin aging is caused by sun exposure.... are you wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen that’s SPF 30-50 and applying enough as well as reapplying? As far as topical skincare, there’s a mountain of evidence supporting tretinoin for anti aging. AHA specifically Glycolic Acid, peptides, Vitamin C, niacinamide, and other antioxidants are also good ingredients to look for. Once you have deep lines though you’re looking at in office treatments. Botox and filler will of course take care of fine lines and volume. You can also try peels and laser.
Laser is good for fine lines, look at his video about pore minimizing.
You’re an honest person 🙏 Honesty has a power that very few people can handle. Please give me a two pieces of advice is the micro needling ( Vivace) helps to remove the wrinkles? and what is your recommendations for tighten face , what we should to do to keep our face , neck will not get more wrinkles? Thanks 🙏
Finally. I ve been waiting for ths vid to comw out! Thx thxxx

PLEASE ANSWER THIS: Will using SOLELY DERMAPEN** PRP help at all with deep old scar with very tough skin?
How often should I use the Dermapen? And how deep?
Thank you kindly 🙏
Dr david lim is a good man. God bless
Hi Dr. Lim, I very much understand why using a disposable dermaroller is the way to go (for at home microneedling) and understand the importance of using 0.25-0.5mm needles. I remember you mentioning that getting a cheap disposable dermaroller off of ebay is perfectly fine but am having a hard time finding one, as there are so many options and have heard horror stories of some with fake needles i.e. just pointed pieces of metal vs. actual titanium needles. Would you happen to have a brand or link you recommend that I can feel confident in buying? Thanks so much
What if your ice pick scars are 17 yrs old ?

Possibly not. Best to get a free consultation with a dermatologist to talk about a treatment that will work 😊
You mentioned that lasers can burn fat, can it burn away ‘eye bags’? If so, which is best?
Hi doctor Lim, I have a video idea!! As a child I was very fair skinned but as a result of playing outside I got very tan and been maybe sunburned once. Is the sun damage permanently? Because my complexion never been the same since.
I am facing the same situation. My face is a lot darker than rest of my body. I have tried many products nothing seems to work for the damage caused by sun 😒
Can u please do a video on which patients are not a good candidate for microneedling?
What are the mistakes you see people do with microneedling
He mentioned the lack of training that can result in scarring induced from the microneedling device.
@@josephs3169 but how to know they have the right training

I feel like i just wanted to go to australia and go to dr lim clinic 😭😭😭 im so frustrated to this acne scars
Hi, Dr. Lim. I would love to read or see a review by you about the Morpheous 8 and how it compares to Infini. Thank you for considering!
Watching in 2021 breaking my promise bless your heart more Dr’s need to do this
Hi Dr. Lim, do you do online consultations? And how much do you charge for one?
Who should be doing microneedling? I visited a derm and she barely looked at my acne scars and sent me over to the medi-spa for the aesthetician guide and perform the needles. I would expect her to look, touch and remove my mask!!! This is in the US. Does Australia do it differently? do we have to go to a plastic surgeon here to have someone qualified enough to perform scar revision?
I have read microneedling can't repair itself over and over, and it breaks down the skin over time, is it worth it?
What we really is to find out when you coming to back to Beverly hills and see you for treatment!!!! as usual thanks for sharing the knowledge Doc
So you kept repeating 6 treatments of micro needling. Would you said that it as far as you would recommend, only six? Because I've had about six treatments in the past year with little to no results. My scars are about 20 years old. Could that be a factor? So much questions and concerns here. You seem so professional and with so much experience, think you're the only one who might be able to help me.

Dr. Lim, would this worsen Rosacea? Which is better? Microneedling or IPL?
Dr. Lim, as always, great video. I discovered your videos completely by accident. I was looking for solutions for my mother's melasma and your tips have been incredible. I was wondering if you could do a video/insta on how to "control" hormonal acne? Or how to go about it I guess. Or at least your viewpoints on this. Then again it seems the subject of acne is expansive...anyways, thank you so much for your efforts. I share your videos with friends whenever I can. Seeing your videos make me so happy. You love your work and it shows. Truly, I'm a fan. Take care!
Whats the best treatment for old rolling acne scars?
Im learning a lot from you! Make more videos. Im a Nurse in the philippines running my own Nursing Clinic for the skin... Hope to learn more from you.
I doctor, you are right microneedling can worse melasma specially doing it too deeply. In order to help one should use it at a depth of 0.25 with tirosinase inhibitors including peptides. I also like to use it alterned with chemical peels and an at home treatment using despigmentants and anti oxidantes
I have acne scaring and derm recommended microneedling and fractional laser. I have dark skin, would that cause hyperpigmentation
Infini RF - Safe for all ethnic skin.
@@Zach-xm5wc is that what you did
did you go ahead with anything?
Really appreciating the RWB Porsche’s you’ve got there in the background Davin 😉
Would autophagy help with acne scarring?
What about on the body is a 1.5mm safe on the body for stretch marks?
With darker skin do they have to be on a melanin suppressor for 2 weeks before micro needling
Hi Doctor, What is the difference between melasma vs hyperpigmentation if at all?
Does laser genesis melts fat?
Does micro needling help to reduce pore size??
Is dermrolling good to prevent sagging of skin?
