Microneedling: What you need to know, from a dermatologist and Skin of color Expert

[@szafan4lyfe]

Can you do a video about red light therapy?

[@Jamilah281]

I’ve been WAITING on a black dermatologist (especially Dr. Alexis) to review this product. Thank you so much! You helped me to decide to purchase this system.

[@bigj3339]

Jamilah281……. After you have used the system, can you post you results in the comments? Thanks!

[@leahmiller9962]

Did you end up getting it? I would love a review

[@tyking7841]

Did you get any results?

[@jr2089]

@Jamilah281 Did you decide to purchase and use the system? How did it go? Were you pleased with the results?

[@nicoleadiaz1]

You can also look up the Indian doctor that also goes over skin of color.

I just love Dr Alexis voice is so soothing

[@auzij4949]

I need my skin to look like yours ❤

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thanks so much :)

[@esme10e87]

Thank you for confirming Qure is safe to use on skin of colour😘 I keep seeing adverts for this on social media but ignoring it as I didn't believe it would be suitable for melanated skin with hyperpigmentation

[@jenysanchezm]

Sadly, here in my country (Colombia), they do not have any idea of dark skin and I’ve suffered. They treat my skin so hard that even after a simple facial, I get dark spots. So I’ve had to educate myself and do my own things 🙊

[@DrAlexisStephens]

So sorry to hear that. I know it can be frustrating but so glad you are learning on your own. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of our skin care journey!

[@skinloverbyvane]

Y donde te hicieron el procedimiento? Por allá hay muy buenos profesionales, usaste protector solar? Yo los compro allá pq aquí no llegan las versiones europeas y uso con color o maquillaje pq las pieles latinas como las nuestras nos manchamos fácilmente

[@vivianagbegha2712]

Yes, the expensive “specialists” in Medellin were charlatans. Lying about knowledge of treating dark skin and ruining it.

[@zarra881]

same in Malaysia they have no clue about dark skin

[@adjk4169]

Skin looks AMAZING, Dr Alexis. Please can you give us a rundown of your treatment protocol for yourself? I.e. how often you'll do a course of chemical peels in a year, followed by a course of microneedling etc. I'd love to know.

[@latoyiahousley1539]

Your skin is amazing. Thank you for sharing this comprehensive information.

I used the Qure Micro Needling about two weeks ago and it definitely gave me a glow up. I also noticed some tightening around the mouth area.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

Riiight! Could hardly listen, just staring at her

[@AlE-wd4kk]

Hello, at 10:00 you said we can put on our own concoctions like glutathione, tranexamine acid or kojic acid, etc. Can you be more specific? Like can we put serums from any brand that we purchased? I know you will probably say it is better to use it with the Qure ampoules. But in your video you also say that we can put our concoction. Can you please elaborate on that? Thank you Dr 😊

[@friedchicken892]

Please do a vid on LED Mask. Thanks for the content as usual❤🎉🎉

[@jacquelinejones8252]

I love that all of your videos are educational and informative! I trust you as my source when it comes to caring for the skin of women of color, like myself.

[@chanda2285]

Can I use a red light therapy mask after this? Would you do a vide on those masks too?

[@dabodybeautiful5428]

I came here AFTER the purchase; thank you for giving me peace of mine that I was not scammed. #Subbed.

[@MsBugzieBaby]

I know this is off topic from what this video is about. May you do a video or provide tips on good body washes? Or even what ingredients to look for in a bar soap or body wash. Also what ingredients to stay clear of in a bar soap or body wash. Love the content and education that you have been using your platform for.

Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share . Could you please do a video on your lazer hair removal journey?

[@kmartin1550]

I love the results of the QURE micro needling system, for the first 10 days my skin looks amazing but once it goes away, around the 11th day I’m so sad because my face literally look like it went on flat. That’s literally my only con, everything else is positive and I would recommend everyone get that product.

[@belle_andreea9722]

I got this and have used it twice now. First time was painful as I’m a newbie at micro needling but used it again two nights ago and I can see changes in my skin. Stubborn under the skin acne is smoothening out, tightening of skin, skin has a glow. Early days yet but hoping for more improvement as I continue using my Qure kit.

[@Ela-xf9ku]

Update please

[@valentinaharold1333]

Cant wait to see if consistent micro needling will be beneficial for me ❤

[@Brittbrittbritt777]

Thank you so much for this Doctor!🩵🩵 for a future video suggestion, can you please talk about trichotillomania and products etc that can help regrow hair from pulling?

[@jellis2165]

Hello Dr. Stephens, Please introduce any new products on the market that you would recommend for hyperpigmentation. Also, just for overall healthy skin. I used a lot of your recommendations last year and my skin has transformed into something I'm proud of and can hold my head up. Many thanks for your advise.

[@Magique88888]

This is my next step, I'm a little scared but need to start doing some more intense treatments.

[@edub201683]

Dermapen is my favourite.. my dermatologist does it in her clinic😊 I can’t imagine trying to do it at home😱

[@575empress]

I ordered this set and I cannot wait to use it. However I’m not sure what products to use after to keep my skin healthy and beautiful. Any suggestions?

[@TawniSFears]

I got RF PRP microneedling last year, and I’m doing it again this year. I had a lesser invasive microneedling treatment but I’m sticking to that one. The texture on my cheeks is a lot better. Pores less visible. An acne scar is a little flatter.

[@livelaughloveakhi]

How did you choose where to get it done?

[@TawniSFears]

@@livelaughloveakhiBased on what the treatment does and what you need. I already had a simpler form, and I did PRP under my eyes previously.

[@falloutgirl902]

How did you avoid hyperpigmentation?

[@TawniSFears]

@@falloutgirl902 I cannot always avoid it, hence getting treatments. I wear sunscreen to decrease/prevent darkness and use products and treatments to slow down hormonal acne and anything that can cause hyperpigmentation. I do not get it nearly as often now.

[@naturallysweet]

I love watching your videos. I'm interested in how to use a dermaroller on my scalp for thinning hair. I'm going to ask my dermatologist if I can get this procedure done on my face in their office.

[@DrAlexisStephens]

Thank you so much :) Hope you love the results!

[@Enteraname-o4l]

Dr. Alexis, I’m in love with your videos. Your teachings and explanations are so clear and I especially love the part that you teach us how to use the regimen after buying a bunch of products. Other dermatologists recommended too many products for just one active ingredient and I was so confused by choosing a product to try on.

[@missann0906]

Good information,I need to consider this for alopecia.

[@liciee14]

We love and appreciate all of your videos. Do you thing the vt reedle shot is suitable for skin of color?

[@girliegurl5949]

I love the Qure system. It has helped close up acne scars and clear up my hyperpigmentation. OMG, they just sent me a text while I’m watching this video. 😂

Hi! I am thinking about using this system to help with acne scarring. How did you decide which serum to use? Thank you!

[@dcw425]

Dr. Stephens, thank you so much for covering this topic. I keep seeing this product all over Instagram and was uncertain of the effects on melanin rich skin. Your video has educated me and I’m looking forward to trying. Can we make our own cocktail by adding a glycolic or salicylic acid to the vial?

[@consciouscrypto3090]

I'm always careful to microneedle with multiple devices and in a certain order so that I don't spread the black dots I get on my cheeks to other parts of my face. When I first started microneedling I used just one stamp per session and this led to spreading of this condition. Now I use one stamp on my undereye and forehead, then use another on the rest of my face starting with my jaw area on both sides and working up to my cheekbones. I do the area with the spots last.

[@justinasey9603]

Dr Alex Can you pls recommend a black demotelges in Vancouver BC Canada thanks

[@lorphic777]

0:52 I would 100% not do this on myself until I see other people's results. I'll just go to a media spa if I really want micro needling. Though I have sensitive skin, I'll just avoid it at all costs.

[@tyking7841]

Perfect timing! I wish you were in LA!

@Dr. Alexis Stephens I just purchased this system and am super excited to start using it as soon as I get it. Thank you for the information and demonstration. For the post care, are the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser and the CeraVe day and night moistirizers okay to use, starting the morning after the microneedling? I love these products, but I want to make sure the essential ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid in the foaming cleanser are okay to apply to the skin the morning after. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
