Thank you to Janna for being our guinea pig for this video! We started filming a couple of these while I was on maternity leave and luckily finished this one before we went into lockdown. A lot of people ask us to show the results of treatments from start to finish for The SASS, but that means they can take 3 - 6 months to see true results. I’m so glad Janna stick it out because the results are incredible. ❤️
Evelyn Wynn -It was a specific type of peel and it was customized exactly for her needs. It might still be rough for sensitive skin just saying not the same as getting a peel you chose and then loading up on retin a on your own direction.
This is amazing! Also, are there things that are done differently for darker skin? For instance, are peels tweaked to address dark skin tone concerns, which I imagine are a little bit different from those with light skin? Also, maintenance between peels usually involve Hydroquinone, but seeing as dark skin can't use HQ in the same capacity as those with light skin, can you perhaps do a similar video/or just a video addressing melasma related concerns/peels/laser treatments (especially because there seem to be some lasers that work well on south asian/african skin tones) specifically for dark skin?
From what I’ve read it’s the same as for light skin tones except you have to be even MORE careful, gentle, and slow because darker skin tones love to make more pigment in response to harsh treatments
I could see a difference between her before and after. Her skin did look brighter and smoother. But when the Dr mentioned a peel. I thought of the chemical peels where there is extensive peeling of the skin. And I personally have nothing against those. I just learned there are different kinds of peels. Btw I missed Susan and Sharzad. But I understand this was to document this woman's experience. And I wasn't sure how far in advance this was filmed. Hopefully everyone is safe, healthy and doing well.
The best foundation is cover fx its very natural but covers without looking heavy i use the water based one its worth the $50 something My skin is opposite its white blotches that are actually very much visible when i wear any regular foundation.
Did you try color correcting for your white spots? idk wich color but maybe something like coral, light pink. I dont really know if color correcting works for this🙆♀️
She really should've recommended the eltamd uv phyical or elements sunscreen because people with melasma should only use a physical sunscreen. She recommended a chemical/physical blend sunscreen that causes heat in the skin and can make melasma worse. Also, for the product she compounded, she said there are 4 ingredients and only listed 3 lol I guess she forgot to say the fourth but I was just waiting to hear the last one lol
I love chemicals peels especially mandelic Acid great for acne but her face isn’t even bad lol she needs to go to the derm office I intern at I’m sure she would get rid of it in like 2 peels
The Jessner peel can be neutralized but it is technically a self neutralizing peel so while it does not have to be neutralized, it can be. If you neutralize it, it stops it from working much sooner so you do not get the “full benefit” of it and would then be even more mild which seems to be in line with the more mild approach the Doctor is going for.
Samantha, that makes sense. When she explained about the peel it was in the context of stopping the tingling as soon as she wants it to stop and said she was a control freak. This does imply that it’s a step she chooses to add which isn’t necessary but it’s reassuring to the customer that she’s in control of this at all times.
I have those black spots, I don’t know if they are melasma or not, but I started getting after childbirth. My question is since I am Latin would the process be the same?
I'm 22 and mine started about 4 months ago. If you're thinking I didn't used my sunscreen you're wrong, I put it on and reapply religiously everyday even if I'm inside. But my town is so HOT like the breath of the underworld that I'm always sueting so much, there's no way I'll stay away from heat! LOL
@@hanagreg I guess short term and for the time being it's not really a problem. I'm just saying that it looks like she's not taking care in making the patient feel comfortable and the patient is just kinda laying there and taking it.
Very informative and the end results were amazing! My only grip (I'm sorry!) is that Dr. Anna really should have tied her hair back, especially in the end (last treatment). It looked like it was preventing her from being as thorough as she should have been. Maybe this was just because she was filming? Ugh!
Christy Alison I thought the exact same thing. I would rather have melasma and be able to move my face than have a "perfect skin" frozen face like Dr. Anna 🙄
