Derm vs Esthetician = Winner Derm!
I agree! Heat on my skin brings up my Melasma
….any kind of heat does this!
Does laser hair removal have this effect since the hair on the skin is being burned off?
That’s what I was wondering.
Non ablative lasers don’t. I’ve gotten laser genesis and clear lift laser done with no issues.
How does that lady’s skin look that flawless wowuu
Her name is Sarah Saleen and she’s an esthetician. She used to have acne and now her skin is flawless
She’s an esthetician used to using steam in the treatment room. So am I — but the difference is I know the downsides.
How about red light led masks?
Wouldn’t even recommend that for anyone, pop it in the freezer.
Hyperpigmentation is an inflammatory response by your melanocytes. Heat can trigger that inflammatory process. It’s literally the skin trying to protect itself from the heat. The Dr is right, if you are prone to hyperpigmentation and melasma avoid heated tools, sauna and face steamers. Truly, nobody should be putting direct heat like this on their faces. I cannot think of ANY benefits. It’s such a gimmicky tool.
Im so glad you did this video !!!
