Getting Rid of Acne Scars at Home : Microneedling | Dr Davin Lim

[@MarcustheWu]

It is fine to do ads/sponsorships ; make your money. However, not being open about it makes it not cool.

[@elainekellogg6345]

What do you mean

[@EmmaTar-h9e]

Because he recommends Banish and he actually appears in the photos on their website

[@C.O-g6k]

But it does not mean he received sponsor for this video. I think he only needs to disclose about sponsor ship if he receives money for this video.

[@Bravetowers]

It literally says ad in the description. Get over yourself

[@GokuSaiyan902]

It clearly says #ad in the description. Pay attention before you hate, just to hate

[@unapologeticallymj]

I've been microneedling at home for a couple of years now with Dr Pen and in my view this is one of those treatments that if done right you can get better results doing at home than in a salon. I've had it done "professionally" once and it was a waste of money. Just do your research and start on the safest setting, use a numbing cream if you are doing it for collagen as it will hurt

[@wei949]

In your experience, how long do you experience redness from microneedling?

[@unapologeticallymj]

In my case it takes a long time to heal. To fully recover it's about a week - this is when I can comfortably show my face to people. However bear in mind that I go in quite deep and bleed a lot during the procedure. Also I have a condition that means that wounds heal a little slower than with most people. Look up Claudia Glows on YT, she's been doing microneedling for over a decade and has some really good videos on it. Her healing process is also quicker than mine@@wei949

[@deciopescada2354]

Hi, I just got a Dr. Pen as well and have a couple questions for you. How long did you set your needle length to? How often did you needle? And what did you apply following treatment?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

​@@wei949my hubby is using the banisher 2.0. In 6 to 8rs max, redness is gone!

[@frederickthethird5302]

@@deciopescada2354 There's no perfect depth since we all have a slight difference in skin thickness. What you are looking for is pinpoint bleeding, so start with 0.25mm and work your way up until you see pinpoint bleeding (extremely tiny drops of blood). 0.5mm is absolutely safe, and 1mm can be safe around the cheeks. Once a month is considered the standard frequency (you are actually seeing pinpoint bleeding). Use a moisturizer immediately following the treatment. Wounds seal up after 4-6 hr so you can cleanse after that, and of course, with a gentle cleanser with no actives. Wait at least 48 hr before using any actives.

You seemed to leave out the very important fact that you can only use a derma stamp a handful of times before the needles are dull and it is not longer suitable to use. Some companies offer replacement heads so you don’t have to buy the entire stamp each time, but I didn’t see anything like that on the ad page you linked. $99 every 10-15 uses is very, very expensive compared to the other nearly identical products out there for a fraction of the price and 90% of the same quality-gold plated titanium needles and all.

[@corneliusthecrowtamer1937]

I can't find anything on the Banisher website saying it's made in the USA. I can't believe it's not just a re-branded Chinese product, essentially the same thing you can get on Amazon for $15. I can't see how a satisfactory, sterile set of needles won't accomplish the same thing -- it's a pretty simple mechanism. I ordered one of the adjustable stamps from Amazon, $15 seems like a fair price for a tool I need to replace after a handful of uses.

[@spootnik00]

Great Ad for Banish products

[@ninam8060]

Dr. Lim as I was watching your video about microneedling, I decided I'm going to try to microneedle a couple areas of my face that need help with lines. In area #1 you mentioned that the stamper is medical grade and has titanium needles meaning a Sharper Edge and it's all as antibacterial. I went onto Banisher 2.0 website and they described the microneedle as "Patented gold plated Banisher micro stamping tool. Now to me the needles DO NOT seem to be the same type of needles you expect or were told. I am a bit cautious to purchase the set until I receive your approval. Thank you very much. Nina Maslov

[@MissInformationVlogs]

It's the same GOLD PLATED TITANIUM bristles. My hubby's using it for years for skin maintenance. It faded his boxcar scars yrs ago. It's normal to hesitate.. that's why I love the Banisher 2.0, they have MONEY BACK GUARANTEE

[@ninam8060]

@@MissInformationVlogs Thank you...because Dr. Lim said not to use gold plated needles so I wanted to check.

[@blufilmsesa]

Hey Dr. Davin! So for the Banisher, I see that immediately after, you say to use the Banisher serum which has Vitamin C. Every time I read online, a lot of blogs and articles recommend not putting vitamin C on your skin until 48-72 hours after micro needling. Why is it fine in this case?

[@yasmine3812]

Hes just doing an ad. Vit C right after or suring microneedling has been known to cause granulomas, which are sometimes permanent. So yeah avoid it like the plague. The less u apply for the next 3 days post microneedling, the better honestly. Its sad that dr Lim has become a sellout, to the point of advising potentially dangerous things.

[@kathleenj01]

Lots of acne scars on my chin and upper lip, but I've always been scared to use micro needling just in case it stimulates hair grow, as I hear it's encouraged for use in hair loss, and I honestly don't need any help in that department.

[@MissInformationVlogs]

My hubby has boxcar scars and the Banisher 2 faded them. It would only stimulate the scalp for hair growth. Same as it helps on producing more collagen

[@SchindlersFiist]

Lol I'd rather get rid of acne scars. You can just wax the little hairs away! 😂

[@dejavu4029]

​@MissInformationVlogs your are just advertisement guy , commenting on each reply

[@CallSignGino]

Seems like a Banish commercial which makes me question the info.

[@StephMlg]

I started using Banish when some dermatologists recommended it and you're one of them. Thanks, Dr. Davin!

[@acnewithV]

Thank you for the extensive explanation in this video, Dr. Lim!

[@thuynguyen216]

Can we microneedle when using tretinoin? If yes, how many days before and after should we stop using it?

[@cassthefairyyy]

i would stop 3 days before & 3 days after , or longer just see how sensitive your skin is

[@newbeginnings-yq9pt]

You shouldnt use tret and microneedling together, you need to microneedle and then wait till your skin is healed. Tret is way too strong

[@evc505]

READ THE FINE PRINT! Details say that each head can be used 8 times and the cost is $20.00 to replace each head. Here's the catch... If you're doing your "entire face", you can only use the cartridge 3-4 times. The 8 times usage is only if you're stamping "a small section of your face". If a company resorts to being sneaky about their products, I say no thank you!

[@villiejogalang9911]

I already have acne scarring for almost 3 decades, I've done everything but minimal results. Will this product will help me? Thanks.

[@courtneyalva]

This young lady is what pushed me to purchase one. Her results have been fantastic with consistent, long use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHOZeaytp7pjg5Ysi=4Iybk3PQIiZohO-r

[@truthbetold4178]

Microneedling smoothed out my terribly scarred skin beautifully. I had lived with acne for nearly 50 years before trying it. My skin was lumpy, bumpy, and pitted... Not anymore. It's amazing. I am incredibly pleased.

[@villiejogalang9911]

Did you use this product Banish or you just went on doing sessions of Micro-needling?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

​@@villiejogalang9911my hubby uses the Banisher 2.0 and it drastically changed his life. He's 40 now and his skin looks younger than me who dont use the Banisher 2.0 and uses more expensive products

[@KristenKras]

[@168KDW]

How often can you use this needling device 😊✨💕

[@greyzia0405]

I chatted Banish about this before.. They recommend using it once a week. Also, you can use the same tool for up to 8 times before discarding it.

[@anitahadley2871]

Does this help hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage? Also, it says. 100% Ascorbic acid, I thought you stayed around 20%.

[@Selene965]

Tretinoin or tazarotene would be the best for sun damage

[@MissInformationVlogs]

For hyperpigmentation I use the Banish Pumpkin Mask 2x a week, then use the Banish Vit C Creme. Helps a lot even for my body hyperpigmentation

[@Jimtherunner]

Does micro needling help with white scars/ hypopigmentation?

[@rgg1264]

I am curious also

[@MissInformationVlogs]

Definitely! My hubby has hyperpigmentation & boxcar scars. The Banisher 2.0 faded all of them. I on the other hand dont use the Banisher 2.0 (i have a blood condition that doesnt allow me to use it). So his skin now looks way better than mine and his skin is low maintenance compared to what i do daily

[@Jimtherunner]

@@MissInformationVlogs thank you for comment. However , I meant HYPOpigmentation and not HYPERpigmentation. Hypo are basically white scars.

[@MissInformationVlogs]

@@Jimtherunner i understand. I just gave an example abt hyperpigmentation since thats what we have. Microneedling triggers melanocytes production w/c enables migration of melanocytes from the surrounding skin to the hypopigmented area. So yes the Banisher 2.0 helps in treating both hypo and hyper pigmentation ☺️

[@Jimtherunner]

@@MissInformationVlogs ok thank u ~

[@BhuvanaLHarikaD]

Can we use banisher for papular scars on nose?

[@artsydancequeen2964]

How often should I do microneedling? Once per week? Every 2 weeks? Once per month?

[@Okokok331]

Once a week is recommended

[@dcunion77]

once a year or the most every 6months. dont listen to shucksters who want to take your money

[@rgg1264]

Is it also safe for people who tends to have overgrow keloids as thick scars after thiroid removal or light and darkbdiscoloration onnthe temples).Thank You for sharing Your knowledge!💗

[@Ceesie]

7:47 looks like he says no here

[@BanishTV]

We don't recommend using the Banisher if you are prone to keloid scars as using it may further aggravate the condition of your skin.

[@Monica-70]

Running out of the PUMPKIN ENZYME MASQUE is discouraging. I wanted the pen plus this product.😒

[@wei949]

Hi Dr Lim, how do we deal with the redness that comes from microneedling? Will the redness fade in 2-3 days?

[@cassthefairyyy]

yes ! the redness will fade in 24 hours & be gone within 3-5 days

[@MissInformationVlogs]

I agree with her.. plus the sunscreen helps a lot in reducing the redness

[@I.A20]

Does it help with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation? Lol, just typed the question and Dr. Davin, you mentioned it. Thanks a lot

[@mmmm-rn2te]

Can you use toner ? Then after microneedle use The ordinary serum niacinamide and salicylic acid then moisturizer??????

[@Bigdogsgowoof]

I have a scar going down under my left eye as a result from a dog bite when i was 2, it healed pretty well, but as im ageing its becoming more noticeable, will micro needling help? It was deep bite but healed as a fine line and not too deep in my skin or raised above

[@Maria-io7fx]

What about scars older than 3 months?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

My hubby has boxcar scars since he was a teenager. 2016 he tried the Banisher. After 8 to 12th use, his scars faded! Now his skin is low maintenance. He just uses the Banisher 2.0 monthly for skin maintenance

[@duswlgns]

ik this is kinda late but can i ask what length he was using? the recc .5 mm?

[@mmsllp9269]

​@@duswlgns Acne scarring it's never too late yes the scarring it can be less collagen and more dense with age but this doesn't prevent it from break it down with micro needling it can be slower in progress compared to young scarring but it also old scarring will improve there is no true limit at what age micro needling won't work your always going to stimulate collagen is ongoing process throughout your life

[@mmsllp9269]

​@@duswlgns One thing I don't agree with the video is that 0.5mm is enough Wich is extremely wrong the depth of micro needling depends on the depth of your scarring if you're scarring is 2mm deep then you need 2.5mm needle to break down the scar tissue

[@nanuossai6742]

Thank you Dr., for this educational video. Do you recommend using a numbing cream with at home microneedling?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

With the Banisher 2.0, u wont need a numbing cream anymore

[@KatieMulhall-d5u]

can you still get good results with older acne scars, say a year to two years ?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

Yes! My hubby has boxcar scars since he was a teenager. It took him 8 to 12 uses of the Banisher 2.0 to fade his acne scars. He was already at his 30s when he started using it. Now he's at his 40's and happy to say that his skin looks soooo plump and firm

[@deciopescada2354]

​@@MissInformationVlogsHow often was he microneedling?

[@MissInformationVlogs]

​@@deciopescada2354weekly for a year or so.. Then monthly after his scars faded

[@Arielle1Celeste]

Once the needles dull can you just buy a replacement needle section or do you have to buy a whole new stamper?

[@Matti294]

Dr.,which Banisher stamper brand would you recommend?

[@cgee2468]

The banisher 2.0 he's sponsored by. So of course he recommends it 💵 💰

[@rhubarb155]

Do I need to wait to start micro needling if i’m on 10mg isotretinoin? 😊

[@AB-zf8lz]

With in office microneedling (dermapen) I take a week off full strength Tretinoin beforehand. But in office dermapen can be quite heavy (I get local anaesthetic) - I think begin cautiously and see what your skin will tolerate.

[@mmsllp9269]

No I don't recommend it because your skin is not strong due to medication making your skin too much sensitive to truma

[@yenphan2124]

Is it ok to use the banish serum after a deeper depth microneedling (ie. 1 to 1.5 mm)? Thanks in advance!

[@yasmine3812]

ABSOLUTELY NOT! No actives for 4 days post session. And no acid peels for 14 days at least. Ur welcome

[@missdhara6434]

@dr Lanvin the needles on the salon devices are thicker than at home devices example .18 vs .22 so do you do more passes or is there no difference

[@MissInformationVlogs]

Just the same

[@lynnfarrell4160]

Hi Dr Davin, my son has quite a raised acne scar on his chin following roaccutane several years ago. Can you recommend a dermatologist that specialises in acne scar treatment in Adelaide ?

[@KristenKras]

Sadly, having pale British/northern European easily burnt skin and being menopausal, my collagen is depleted. I think its too late for me and I don't think anything is going to bring back that collagen. I could do with the needling for ingrown hairs though.

[@TheShumoby]

Try hormone therapy with estradiol and progesterone

[@MissInformationVlogs]

The Banisher 2.0 helps in hair growth too esp when u use a good hair serum/oil.

[@mmsllp9269]

Your collagen did not depleted, your collagen never disappear it's more likely your skin is adapting to frequently stimulate collagen so give it a break for 1 year it's likely will return back

[@Swiminator_08]

Needle length?

[@thedaylightofgood]

I think like 0.5m

[@courtneyalva]

Question: what about working out & using this? I just ordered the stamper & banish oil, & I know when I’ve had professional microneedling I can’t work out for several days. Is it ok to workout & use this? Or how long should I wait to workout after using it each time?
