Hi! I'm Brianna. I make content about acne and skincare, with a sprinkling of lifestyle vlogs about books, study and travel! I'd love for you to join our community :)
I researched that 1mm or even 1.5 mm is the depth you need for healing scar tissue. They sell adjustable derma stamps. The professionals of course will say its only safe if you pay them a bunch of money to do it for you but they are only going to do they same thing as you at home. The only difference would be numbing cream and new needles every treatment. It would be much cheaper to buy a new stamp every round than to pay the pros and get the same results

I’ve tried everything to heal my acne nothing worked as fast as rocotan thank god it exists I hope the person who invented this pill is blessed with happiness their entire life
Hi! PCOS is a bit complicated to diagnose, there's no specific 'test' - I was told I might have PCOS last year because I had some of the symptoms (abnormal hormones and acne), but I recently got my hormones checked again and they seem to have normalised. So I'm not really sure anymore!
Hey I'm on Accutane also it's my first month I want to know when we will be able to use microneedle at this moment as I have to continue my course for 4 to 5 months with this pill From India :)
Hey! Personally I’m going to wait until I’m finished accutane to start up micro needling again, since it’s not recommended to microneedle while on accutane. Good luck! :)
You can do 1mm needling on your cheeks at home every 4-6 weeks. The 0.5mm you are currently doing on your forehead is deep enough for that area every 4-6 weeks, Any deeper than 1mm on the face should be done by a professional.
Thanks for watching! The updates will keep coming - slowly but surely... Not sure about your experience but I definitely think the purging stage is more drawn out when on a lower dose. Hang in there friend!! :)
hy everything will be alright you are already next level pretty the acne will go away eventually and everything will be alright .i can understand what you are actually worried about its not acne its the scars acne leave behind but believe me it wont leave any more scars .everything will be alright and fantastic insha allah :)
Hey girl aesthetician here. You wanna approach retinol reallyyy slowly. Start with the lowest percentage and use it only once a week then move up to twice a week then 3 times a week. 3 times a week should be the max never use retinol more than 3 times a week. stay on that percentage for about two months then go higher. Keep increasing percentage that way. I would advise the highest you should go would be 1% but of course you can experiment beyond that. Just be careful because as much as retinol is amazing for your skin It can be really damaging if misused. Goodluck! :)
hi, i have a questin , i have used lactic acid before bu havent really done anyhting to my skin in past 6 month like no chemicals, now can i start directly ordinary 0.5 percent retinol, i have already bought it and now confused
@@siiyuo1122 yes! Whenever you want to do a chemical peel, just take a week break from retinol then a few days after the peel you can continue. Thats If it’s a light peel. If it’s a medium peel which you wouldn’t be doing yourself anyways you would be going to a specialist for that then you would need three weeks off retinol :)
Why would you suggest to start slow? I had never used any kind of skincare products. I started using a cleanser, Alkief (trifarotene) and an moisturizer every evening and i think it’s working fine. Some mornings when i wake up i have some skin flakes, but no so bad.
Haha yep... Didn't think I'd be back on it! But such is life. I've just finished my second month - definitely still purging but I think it's starting to slow down a bit... Good luck starting!! I hope your experience goes well! :D
I also bought retinol in squalane, i dis research beforehand, youre supposed to start with the lowest concentration and "work your way up" basically. You bought the highest concentration so im not surprised your skin was unhappy after using it daily. As far as i remember the lowest concentration in squalane was 0.2%, I'm currently using 5%. Maybe when repurchasing get a lower concentration if you notice its too strong for you :)
Thank you, definitely the right advice to share! However, I’d already been a retinol user before trying this so 1% was perfect for someone like me. Also, I only used 1-2 times per week not every day 😃 I’d love to hear how you’re finding the 5% strength
No matter how long you’ve been using retinol, 5% is diabolical! You may think it’s fine because your skin is not reacting to it but the long-term effects aren’t good. I doubt whatever retinol you’re using actually has 5% in there. It might just be on the label but I highly doubt that’s the actual percentage in the product. Can’t imagine anyone using 5% retinol with no reactions. I’m an aesthetician.
Squaline oil blocked my pores and made me break out in spots ans one that scarres on my nose tip. My skin was well used to the retinol percentage so it was the squaline. Ill never put any oil on my face again
Hey! I've found a great dermatologist this time who supported my decision not to go back on hormonal birth control (so that we can tell once my acne has cleared due to accutane, instead of the effects of hormonal BC). It's still a requirement for doctors to ensure their patients are preventing pregnancy while taking accutane, which is why most derms ask their patients to be on at least one form of hormonal BC. But I'm happy to have found a doctor that listens, and she was happy for me to take a more non-conventional, non-hormonal route!
Thank u for sharing ur experience Im as well on second round of accutane and i was really upset that the clear skin didn’t last longer than a year, hopefully we get throughout this second round ❤️
It’s really frustrating right?! You never imagine having to go back on it when you complete the first round 😫 Hopefully this second round does the trick for you too!! xx
Currently, I'm not using any active ingredients for acne scarring (my skin is way too sensitive on accutane!). But I'm using gentle and nourishing products like organic rosehip seed oil and the cosrx snail mucin to support skin healing. I have lots of other videos on my channel reviewing products specifically for acne scarring - microneedling, retinols, AHA/BHA products. And a video all about "how I fade acne scars", check it out - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CbAvlnqd5ss.htmlsi=41u1oxm0hXjlpZRi. Hope this helps! :)
It will, definitely. I feel you. I am currently on my 8th month. Started with 20 mg as well, now I’m on 40. My skin was at it’s worse at 2 weeks. Then it only got better and better. It’s important to take them with food containing a proper amount of fat. No salicylic acid cleanser or other products containing harsh ingredients, please don’t repeat my mistake. A healthy skin barrier is crucial. Use the gentlest cleanser at night (in the morning I just wash my face just with room temperature water. It definitely made a difference for my skin’s health). And a mineral sunscreen for intolerant skin, since chemical sunscreens are too harsh. My skin was turning all red and burning after I was applying a chemical one. Be patient and treat your skin with compassion and care ❤️
Important point: do not use oil cleanser (aka hydrophilic oil) to remove your makeup. It will damage your skin’s barrier. Use micellar water instead (I find the one from Bioderma Sensibio H2O really friendly to my skin), followed by a gentle cleanser (La Roche Posay H Iso-Biome is well tolerated with isotretinoin), and a moisturizer (the one from the same series La Roche Posay H Iso-Biome is great)
If you have thick oily skin, then you will probably be able to use this everyday maybe even twice a day and benefit greatly. I started off using it morning and night everyday and had no problems with irritation. I also use grass fed beef tallow as moisturizer which is obviously very thick and moisturizing so i think that also helps.
dealing with persistent acne is tough. this video resonated with my struggles after stopping birth control, facing a return of acne. like the content creator, I sought help, considering Accutane. it brings back memories of my own journey with Aspect Health, addressing hormonal imbalances. not an ad, just sharing my story. if you're navigating acne and hormonal concerns, seeking professional advice is crucial. wishing the content creator a positive journey ahead.
I have mix of ice pick, round, box like scars on my face. I purchased dermastamp for microneedling. What should be used: 1. before stamping to clean dermaroller/dermastamp and face? 2. same day on face after stamping/microneedling session? 3. next day onwards after the stamping/microneedling session? 4. Can we use Retinol/Tretinoin, Vit c, Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic acid, icing, collagen supplement etc. next day onwards after dermarolling/microneedling? Please recommend generic products instead of something that I can get only with a certain brand. You can suggest the brand along with the generic product. Thanks in advance (: @@katlene6536
If you get off all those meds (under medical guidence, of course), and cut your daily carbohydrate intake below 20g, your acne issues will resolve in two to three months. You're getting skin issues and PCOS symptoms because your blood sugar is high all the time (a.k.a. chronic hyperglycemia). It's the high blood sugars that cause the insulin resistance and hormone imbalances that result in acne and other PCOS symptoms. Keeping your carbs below 20g per day allows your blood sugar levels to drop down to normal levels and prevents blood sugar spikes. Trying to treat PCOS (acne, etc) with meds is like playing the moving target game at the county fair - you can do it, but good luck dialing in all the moving parts. Trying to treating PCOS by controlling blood sugar levels via diet is like shooting at a stationary target in your backyard. Happy to explain more, answer questions, or address concerns. Happy to help make a custom meal plan with you if you are interested. Peace and love. ❤
This is very insightful and I do agree that diet plays a big role. But I have tried all sorts of anti-acne diets in the past to no effect. For me at least, diet plays a minimal role in regulating my hormones and therefore symptoms (I.e., acne). But thank you for your advice! :)
@@BriannaJane Did you try this specific diet? Might be worth your time to try it. 60 days isn't that big of a commitment compared to possibly actually reverse the acne, yeah? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Just be ready to go through sugar withdrawals during the first week or so. It's like suddenly cutting out caffeine or nicotine - expect headaches, low energy, intense cravings, etc for a week or so. After that, you should notice rapid improvement to many of your symptoms.
Love your videos. Youre amazing! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Im currently on 80 MG a day of Accutane. Im doing a 6 month course and may do longer if needed. Hopefully Accutane does the trick for you permanently & I cant wait to see your results!!
