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 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.
I love the fact, that you back up your statements with research. many thanks for all the info.
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 that you speak clear, perfect for 1.5x speed! Thank you!
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 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.
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 TH-cam. Go to bed disrespectful little jerk. Also learn how to spell before making fun of strangers.
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.
Dr. Dray is like a walking encyclopedia of skincare !
😁🤣
Awwww I miss you
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.
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
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
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 😄
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.
Pretty much the only skin channel I trust..
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
It is always reliable to hear it from the expert. Thank you Dr. Dray :)
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?
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!!
Thank you for all the information you put on TH-cam. I’m aging so I looked on TH-cam 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!!
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.
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!
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
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!☕️
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.
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 :)
:)
I am so glad that I watched this video as I was thinking of doing microneedling procedure on my face as I have acne and chicken pox scars.
I've been looking for a legitimate video on this......thank you❤
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!
:)
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
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!
You are a sharp cookie, Dr. Dray! Thanks for the great info.
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!
I know this is off topic, but I'd love for you to do a video about the DermaWand. Thanks!!
Deborah Tansey Same!!
FINALLY someone qualified talking about these things. Thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
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!!!
Dr., your podcasts are a great find. Thank you!
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 informative, as always. Thank you, Dr. Dray.
Thanks!
This is an honest informative video on micro needling. We have only one face. Be sure to choose your at home procedures wisely. Thanks.
Love the info about insulting the skin!! Really great points to to consider before deciding if this treatment is appropriate for me♥️🤔
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
THANK YOU FOR SAYING 1994 was not long ago! It makes me feel less old! Haha. My niece and nephew LOVE to let me know that I’m “ancient” lol
Lauren Fisher there’s a difference between being born in 1994 (25-26) and something being 24-25 years old.
@I Was Here you sound stupid saying that. Age is about perspective most of the time, sure, in terms of numbers 30 is close to old age considering the average life expectancy for people is between 70 and 80 , but 30 isnt even the peak 😂 you must be in your early 20's to believe that.
I Was Here well I was born in 1996 so I must be old too 😂 I just turned 24
I Was Here there are a bunch of 30 years old that do not look saggy 😂 my sister looks bomb at 30 no wrinkles clear skin so I honestly think it’s genetic people who sag at 30 have horrible genetics
I Was Here salty. Lol
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!
I love your videos! You honest and very professional! Thank you for doing it!
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
I’ve been doing this for years . No infections no damage and very happy with my results .
CJ knose what size do you use?
You can safely use longer needles as well, but you should definitely not jump straight to 1-1.5mm. Do test spots if you're going to increase length, and you'll see how you react.
What is a Dr. Pen?
@@frankreynolds445 are you male?
@@frankreynolds445 What activities are you talking about? How did you manage to maintain the same hair colour as when you were young? I'm interested in this!
I LIVE for these videos. Thank you so much!!!
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!
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!
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 🙇🏽♀️
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
You are brilliant! Worth my time to listen and learn from you, Exactly what I have been searching for
The last content of this video is the most important for us. Thanks Dr. You save my face skin.
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
Very grateful for you sharing your professional knowledge and explaining this procedure's positives and negatives.
Thanks!
I'm so happy that I found you ❤️❤️☺️🙏🏼 as a skintherspist this is gold knowledge.
Derma rolling, started it in combination with cera ve skincare. Best Decision everrr
Thank YOU Dr. Dray!!! I was totally on the fence about this after seeing many TH-camrs 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. :)
This was very informative and honest. Thank you!
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.
It’s very popular on You Tube, but with my sensitive skin, I decided against it. I didn’t realize it could cause permanent damage. Yikes! Thanks for the great info.
yeah there are risks to consider for sure
Soo rude!!! Many people tried much worse things, if you knew everything there is to know you wouldn’t be on here🙄
@@Luv4USA24 Where was she rude in her comment? It's more likely that you're oversensitive.
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
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 !
Thank you so much for such a speedy reply and for all your great information on skincare!!.
thanks1
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 :)
Found your video today. Now a new subscriber! Thanks for the awesome info
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!!!!
:)
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!
It is my utmost pleasure to hear your advice! Blessings Dr. Dray.❤️
Question! What about people who are keloid prone? Can they do micro needling or are they at risk of developing micro keloids? Thank you
Yes!!!!! Video on lip fillers, and lip flip- its botox around the lips to make them a little fuller! Great Video Andrea!
:)
Thank you for providing the pros and cons of micro needling. Lots of good things to consider before having such a technique performed. If I ever was to consider such a procedure, your description of foreign body granuloma is enough to dissuade me forever:) Thanks again. I enjoy your channel very much.
:)
@@DrDrayzday can you talk about microchaneling please.
Can you speak on the hyaluronic pen use please.!!! I'm on the dense about getting it. Tks
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 TH-cam!
you should discuss with the provider what products should be used after wards, i don't perform this procedure at all
👍 How lucky are your patients to have such a good dermatologist...wish you practiced in my hometown.
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 😊
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...
I agree that caution is best.
I think micro needling is great in moderation. Light pressure. Clean the instrument and the face. Avoid topical solutions.
The injuries are slight and allow the skin to breathe.
In my opinion, some of these masks and facial cleansers are even more abrasive to the skin than derma rolling.
Some of us have terrible acne scars that we have to look at every day and people just want to feel normal.
Benjamin Knotts true that. When I was a teen I used to use an apricot seed scrub or something like that and it was a abrasive as heck.
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!
:)
So glad I saw this. Thank you!
This is the best channel ever 😭🙌🏾
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?
Such great Information, delivered so clearly. Just love your videos. Currently binge watching a ton of them. You’re awesome!
Your videos are so informative thanks so much!
Before I knew I had rosacea I tried microneedling from a highly reputable place. Totally destroyed my skins moisture barrier and made it so much worse :( I feel like that’s what took my sensitive skin to a whole other level and I’ve been working for 2+ years trying to get it back to a more calm level even though I know the redness and rosacea has no cure :-/
Slugging with Vaseline every night has cured my rosacea… I still have old marks from it
But never flushes or flares anymore
My skin has been amazing since slugging
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
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
I am very happy to come here, somewhere that I can educate myself. It's nice to know about the foreign body granuloma. I bought one today and thought that I should probably come here and find out more info.
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.
:)
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 !
