Major Announcement + How to Treat Stretch Marks like a Dermatologist

[@natashasattler5064]

Would love a video on pregnancy safe skincare including acne treatments and anti aging / moisturizers. So many products are combo (i.e. vitamin C with other things like peptides, etc.) and it's hard to know whats safe to use for all stages.

[@WithLovexo]

Such a great idea!

[@valeriemorin4076]

Yes please! And breastfeeding too.

[@angelulufam]

It's really not hard to figure out what Ingredients you can and cannot have while pregnant

[@SpArK4GrL]

I’d also love this video! In the meantime, gentle cleansers without salicylic acid, rich moisturizers, Niacinamide and Azalaic acid (and sunscreen of course) have been great for me during my pregnancy. My skin became a lot more sensitive and I did develop some dermatitis around my nose and under my eyes, so for a while I was only cleansing and moisturizing. The acne in my first trimester was not fun either. I wish we knew more in general about what was truly safe vs not safe. A lot of stuff that we are advised to avoid is just because we don’t know and it’s considered unethical to test 🤷‍♀️ . And I get it. Better safe than sorry. But it sucks. Pregnancy/breastfeeding can potentially take up 2-4 years of your life.

[@jennny]

Yes please please!

As a black woman, I will be purchasing this headband to keep my edges protected and hydrated at bedtime. THANK YOU!

That's what I was thinking too. He said silk and I was sold!!

[@haidehollins]

Looking back from when I was pregnant, I can definitely say the massage part is definitely key! Later in life learning more about skincare and adding some of these ingredients, my stretch marks have gotten so better over time! I haven't done anything specific to treat them, I just have a consistent routine of hydration and exfoliating ❤

[@AnaPokora]

I massaged throughout my entire pregnancy and still got stretch marks, never scratched either. I think everyone is just different my mom didn't get any stretch marks after 3 pregnancies but I got a lot on my first I am one year pp and they are still mostly dark

I have a hard time excepting him sometimes but I'm working on it. Life's too short.

Just want to point out that the depiction of stretch mark coloring as “white” or “red” may not hold true for those of us with darker skin.

[@GlitteratieEnt]

I thought the same thing 😮

[@annamayyy9771]

What they mean by white is flat. The purple/red have blood circulation and are easier to treat than the flat ones. Flat = old straie

It would be interesting to see you try different treatments on your own different stretch marks to see what works best with time-lapsed photos. It would make for a great monthly series with a 1x a month update

[@Babytracee]

IM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR SKIN LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH

[@hannahstuart8364]

GENETICS guys. I used Palmers Oil religiously night and day during my pregnancy. I didn’t get stretch marks. So MAYBE it worked. But then I asked my mom if she had stretch marks during pregnancy. She didn’t. Her mom didn’t. And my grandmas mom didn’t. So MAYBE the oil helped. If I get pregnant again I’ll use it again. But it’s likely just genetics! 🧬

[@HerwrittenReview]

It's genetic I also used the oil but still got them

[@kelseychemist]

Yay congrats Dr. Shah! Can’t wait to buy your products ❤ also, Dr. Maxfield in the fuzzy bow headbands is such a vibe. PS thank you for making me feel better saying 90% of people have stretch marks and that you guys do too.

[@christyt4198]

I use to worry about getting stretch marks all the time. Especially during pregnancy. Now that I have them I love them! As they are a reminder to me how I created life and remind me how lucky I am to have them today.

How to heal scars properly, How to prevent discoloration of scars, how to prevent the scars from turning into keloid skin, why does skin keloid, what helps with the itching of scar, if surgery scars does keloid what can be done to reverse this…. Etc

[@sabrinamoreira5601]

I’m sure there’s a reason why they didn’t mention it but when I was pregnant I slathered vanicream. One think that I noticed about vanicream compared to other moisturizers is that she’s heavy and really creates a noticeable barrier. I found when I applied it at night and woke up the next morning most of the moisturizer was still there. Where other more affordable moisturizers would be all but gone

[@SpArK4GrL]

Vanicream is really great! I use it on my preschoolers face because she gets a type of eczema and it’s the only thing that’s helped and doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin. I also apply Aquaphor on top to really seal it in overnight. I’ll probably use this combo on my newborn once she’s born too. It’s so gentle and nourishing. I’m using a heavy CeraVe cream with HA and ceramides on my baby bump though with Aquaphor on top.

[@traetrae11]

I do think you look fabulous in your fluffy Bow headband. I love the cute style and color. I would use this silk one to protect my edges while I sleep but think I'll stick to my cute bow when actually washing my face. Super adorable. I got my stretch marks when I had a growth spurt as a child. I call them my tiger stripes. They aren't super dark but fairly noticeable.

[@billsmith8873]

Here's a little hack for applying minoxidil. Use a small paintbrush to apply it to your hairline recession. I have the same hairline recession which I call my cul-de-sacs and use a paintbrush to control how much and where it's applied. I bought a set of natural fiber brushes at the local Wally World and it works great. Also use it to apply caffeine from Inkey List.

[@planclops]

The thought of a spouse massaging their partner’s belly to reduce pregnancy scars sounds so wholesome to me. I don’t know why 😂

In my culture it's actually a tradition.Bump is massaged with ghee to help baby drop.Comfort for preg mom and bonding between the three.

[@s.nicole9739]

I have been using Korean exfoliating towels (physical exfoliation) in the shower once or twice a week while I’m pregnant (currently 29 weeks) and using cicaplast on my belly and do not have any stretch marks (as of yet). It’s also kept the dark line down the belly from getting too dark

[@mmmmmmmm1942]

I didn’t get stretch marks until well into my third trimester. They’re also genetic so not everyone will get them either.

[@kristysmith1809]

Actually, the headband is a great idea! I've been doing this for years!

[@Doglover0088]

Aah much needed video 👏🏼 congratulations on your brand Dr Shah 🙌🏻

I love that the headband is silk. I can't use those other headbands because cotton and curly just don't mix.

[@sherryroberts1821]

Do any of these treatments help with old stretch marks?? I have very deep, from my belly button down stretch marks. I got them from my pregnancy with my daughter, who is now 43 and my first child. They have always made me very self conscious, but had clue what to do about them. My stomach stretched so much skin stung. Thanks and congratulations on the new brand!

[@racheladams846]

I have had significant improvement for old large stretch marks with fraxel laser and C02 laser treatments. The Downside is that they are crazy expensive.

I got stretch marks from taking hydrocortisone for adrenal insufficiency. Took awhile to get the correct dose but the damage was done. The marks are bad enough but I also get extremely painful (and huge, sigh) acne flare ups. They are also quite bloody-I think the skin is thinner. Lots of ruined shirts. I’m a 62 year old male.

[@anasmakeup4642]

[@vintage1987]

Apply Pure raw African shea butter then layer with eucerin lotion (rich). Use daily to remove fresh/new stretch marks. Takes 3-6 months to disappear,but it works! I’ve done this multiple times in my life from stretch marks due to weight gain or excessive scratching. Key is to keep skin hydrated daily with shea butter and seal with eucerin lotion. Don’t scratch. If you’re pregnant use daily before you see stretch marks appear. Must reapply multiples a day. Do not scratch belly, hips or butt ever. If you’re itchy apply shea butter & eucerin vs scratching. Continue to use after pregnancy every day. It works!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Yes! I wear a headband. Another use for women is wearing one while applying cosmetics so foundation doesn’t get in the hairline.

What helped me the most with white(old) stretch marks has been carboxytherapy. The problem is that I did get 30 sessions on them to see an improvement. They did shrink in size but did not completely disappear. Maybe if I do get more treatments but they're very expensive. If anyone out there has white stretch marks and the funds to get them treated, definitely get carboxytherapy.

Thank you immensely for this enlightening video. Your content has consistently been informative and has provided me with invaluable insights. I do have one suggestion regarding the references and research papers you present. Many of them seem to be dated quite a while back (e.g., 2012). While I understand that these studies may serve as foundational knowledge, I believe incorporating more recent papers would enhance the accuracy and relevance of the points you're trying to convey. Nonetheless, I sincerely appreciate all the valuable information you've shared. Thank you once again!

My stretch marks are the same color as my skin so working on evening my body skin tone makes them go and i think this is mostly why people say certain ingredients help its just evening the skin tone

Could you do a video on how or maybe that you shouldn't apply skin care products over beards. When does it go from OK to pointless or even damaging to the beard hairs.

[@oshunauset825]

Hey friends- this is what I’ve done as a mom of 4 that reduced my stretch marks some have faded completely. You have to have a semi pain tolerance. Consider using numbing cream or a lower percentage of product. Microneedling with dr pen. Use ordinary hya acid. Wipe off and cover with 10-15% vitamin c mixed with 10% glycolic acid. Alternate various days with trentinoin and vitamin c until peeling occurs. While it’s peeling only use hydrating products like cicabalm or vitamin e, or zinc (I use zinc pca). I also like ordinary retinol w squalene. I use lightening products during this phase for maximum absorption. You will see results once skin peels. Repeat 1x a month. I have stretch marks that are 17yrs old vanish. This basically combines everything they just said. I did my research reading studies to come up with this formulation. Good luck!
