I have PCOS and aggressive endometriosis, which requires surgery every two years and has caused hormonal acne that my dermatologist couldn't control with ANY medication or treatment including Tretinoin. However, I discovered the Reedle shot about three months ago, and incorporating that with tretinoin since then has me free from any kind of acne, including hormonal acne. Last month I had three surgeries due to endometriosis and in the past just the sheer stress of surgeries caused my hormonal acne to flare up like no other and required antibiotics to control it. But this time I have ZERO acne. Being in my 30s I am not worried about foreign body granulomas showing up in another 60 years so I am willing to take my chances with this product because everything else has failed me. Also, the company stated very clearly that the reedles shed from our skin within 72 hours. If you choose not to believe that because of ONE doctor's opinion then that's up to you. This is my personal experience so don't come for me.

[@cw5451]

I’m glad you had positive results. I just started using the 100 strength of this product.

[@jaykim3711]

Hi Dr. Dray, I am a user of reedle-shot and I came across your video where you mentioned silica granulomas. This raised some concerns for me, so I decided to look into the matter further. Based on my research, there seems to be some disagreement regarding the potential for silica granulomas to develop from using reedle shot. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Crystalline vs. Non-crystalline(Amorphous) Silica Silica can be either crystalline or non-crystalline. The majority of studies linking silica exposure to granulomas have focused on crystalline silica. 2. Synthetic Crystalline Silica and Granulomas There is evidence regarding the development of granuloma from inhaling synthetic silica, but reedle shot is not a product designed for inhalation through the nose, nor could it be. 3. Toxicity of Non-crystalline(Amorphous) Silica There is currently limited research on the toxicity of non-crystalline silica, and no studies have specifically linked it to granuloma formation. 4. Non-crystalline Nature of Reedle-shot Spicules The spicules in reedle-shot are made from non-crystalline silica derived from the skeletons of marine sponges. Therefore, their potential to cause granulomas is considered to be much lower compared to crystalline silica. I believe it is premature and irresponsible to connect the use of reedle-Shot with silica granuloma. As an expert, if my opinion is incorrect, I would appreciate it if you could provide evidence linking the use of spicule or the application of non-crystalline(amorphous) silica on skin to cases of silica granuloma.

[@AlexaOleksa]

I mean, she said she is a bit paranoid and wants to be safe than sorry, and wants to see more research on this matter

[@user-gd3bb2pz7e]

She did not say that Reedle would cause granulomas, she was using the granulomas as an example of how silica embedded in the skin can react, even years later. It might not happen with Reedle but since spicules are a new treatment without information on long-term side effects I cannot fault her for being cautious.

[@catmoon7594]

It’s irresponsible to insinuate that with her platform though without any evidence but hearsay..

[@user-gd3bb2pz7e]

@@catmoon7594 I disagree, her voicing her potential health concerns about an unresearched product is actually really responsible. Anyone saying that they know that it is safe is the irresponsible one.

I shared apartment with a classmate during my uni years. One day, she started to have tiny bumps on the forehead. It went from just a few to literally no free space in about a couple months. When she barely touched them to cleanse her face, she felt painful neddles. Everybody said "Nah, deep pimples, they' ll mature, just wait." Getting an appointment with a pro derm for "a forehead break out" in the early 90' s? Sci-fi🤷🏻‍♀️. When she couldn' t stand the pain anymore, suddenly, one of the bumps spat a sharp crystal. It turned out that she had have a motorcycle accident 3 years ago and that micro pieces of broken glass had been living under her skin until the body was able to push them into the surface. This memory came into my mind at the speed of light when I knew about the spicles. What the hell can happen after x, y or z amount of time? 🤔😕... If you are wondering how the story ended, once her body expelled hundreds of pieces for months, she treated her terrible scars with ATO glycolic at 384% because she was lucky enough to have a family who could afford it in the pre-microneedling and laser era. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@montananerd8244]

The response i got from VT cosmetics is that the Micro-CICA Reedle falls out within 2-3 days with facial washing, as stated on the website. The website is mostly in korean, it'll be great if someone could look into the website to learn about the technology.

[@dejanaebyrd6839]

[@cutieprincess431]

Ugh I love your reviews. Thank you for going the extra mile and getting into the data with us

[@timekki]

I have been curious a lot for reedle shot but it is getting viral a lot in Korea and Japan. Becuase they said it has discrimination with other products using specialized techniques! I also bought on amazon and saw the dramatic improvement in good way honestly.

[@officialMAMshow97]

the sponge spicules are very common in facials in Korea. I had a lot of facials with them with a high concentration back in 2017. It helped drastically reduce my scarring and acne and even helped my boyfriend with his pitted cystic acne scars. I actually interned at a company that does the facials and sells at-home kits with a lower concentration. I have never had anyone come forward with an adverse or foreign body reaction. I wish there were more studies to prove this though. But if you have already tried this product please feel a bit safer knowing my experience. Do try in the future with caution.

[@Vironica___VVV]

Thank you so much for this! I think the reason why a lot of koreans have really great skin is how advanced their products and treatments. I have pitted scars and do monthly microneedling and was thinking of buying VT reedle shot. Im now convinced with your comment and the other one who is a Polymer scientist.

[@Wintermarina]

And in Russia as well. It’s actually a powder, mix with water and put directly on the skin, clears up pigmentation.

[@ca678.4]

People won’t care because going by these comments if it’s not American made/ approved by an American entity they think it’s scary. That’s their right of course. But I think it’s a bit dramatic to call this “terrifying” Lip fillers and subscision is terrifying. Saint Ives scrub is terrifying. It’s no wonder Asian skincare is years ahead of the west

I’ve been waiting for you to review this for so long. 😭 You’re the only reviewer I’ve seen that’s addressed “how do the spicules get out of the skin/do they dissolve?” Not even the brand has addressed it, which is the scariest part. Qure Microinfusion review next please, a lot of dermatologist are endorsing it and would love to hear your thoughts. 🙂

[@gabiiibarricatti8999]

maybe they are removed when you wash your face?

[@DCSquirrel]

One of the reviews I watched stated they asked parent company and the spicules will be sloughed off with your exfoliated skin.

[@zaya2041]

@@gabiiibarricatti8999 If you are patting/tapping it into your skin like how I’m assuming it’s intended application for it is (based off how I see everyone applying it), the circular motions of washing your face doesn’t seem like it would dislodge them (unless they are sticking out of your skin) and maybe further push them in. 😕 And it’s not clear if the VT Reedles dissolve.

[@cyho88]

I also read that spicules dissolve within 72 hours. So there isn’t any damage to your skin. But I guess all skin types react differently to it.

[@waleskagracia4891]

Am anxious for an honest review on the Qure Microinfusion system, especially for those of us battling melasma. I see other Dermatologists endorse it, and kind of dismiss the concerns regarding triggering melanocytes. It’s confusing.

longterm safety was the exact concern that stopped me from placing an order. the fact that the hydrolysed sponge gets in together with the cica and other ingredients makes me uncomfortable - we wouldn't leave needles in our skin after every injection, why would we want an accumulation of sponge in it from regular skincare application?

[@skinsciencebymira]

@@traceykoontz2868 no one is microneedling in a sterile environment, not even doctors. Microneedling isn’t performed in an operating room - they don’t even use a sterile field or sterile gloves. This isn’t surprising really as even injections aren’t performed with sterile gloves and an alcohol swab is sufficient to prep the skin. That being said, I do think education and correct technique and sanitation is really important for microneedling.

[@SilverWolfSword89]

Does this mean that we should avoid products with silica?

[@MsAbbygayle91]

I’m glad you reviewed this! I was literally researching (watching KZbin videos) this product earlier this week. This product was actually already in my Amazon cart! I think what caught my eye & hooked me in was the quick results. But now that you’ve explained the possible problems that may come with this product I’ve changed my mind about buying it…Thank you for de-influencing me to buy this, Dr. Dray!

[@mkryu]

A few months ago, a popular KZbin plastic surgeon was also weary of this product and cautioned that the spicules could remain in the skin and cause damage years later just as fillers do, so I removed it from my Amazon cart.

[@ryeofoatmeal]

​@@mkryuit's scary right?? I almost buy last week but knowing my sensitive skin can't handle this even the 50 mark. and I should be grateful where my skin condition is right now. it's not bad but once you indulge this type of product, you always want more

I use this product, the 100 version. I really enjoy it, overtime the tingling gets less harsh. I actually got compliments on my skin.

[@Tanovah]

I’m happy your experience is good. We all are. Unfortunately it doesn’t mean anything for us though

[@meej6452]

@Tanovah I understand, we have different skin. What works for me won't work for you, what works for you means nothing to someone else. Best thing to do is listen to pros and cons and try it for yourself.

[@save325]

Yeah, but does that because of this one?😂 I guess you are taking care of skin in general, and also using many product along with this one as well.

[@brbsnortingcatnip]

I'm obviously not the OP but since you seem to be implying that it must be something else they are using, I can say for me *personally,* improvements have been seen only with the addition of the 100 reedle version of this product. I have changed nothing other than adding it and have had others commented that my skin was looking good. I do not have good skin. I have cystic acne, melasma, and sensitive skin that tends to peel even if it's not irritated. The product does not claim to treat acne, but I have found at the very least that it has reduced it and what's more apparent to me is how quickly my zits have recovered. I had 2 that had just exploded the day before I started using it, which always leaves me with an open wound and really red marks that take a long time to fade. I've only been using it about a week but I only got one budding cyst yesterday that absolutely should be on fire right now, but it actually backed off and now I just feel the slight bump where it was. That just doesn't happen for me. Ever. If I am starting to get one, it's coming whether I like it or not, and no microdart patch or topical is going to prevent it. Maybe it's what actives are in the lotion, or maybe the reedles are helping my usual skincare absorb better, but something has definitely changed since I started using it.

Thanks for the review! Have you thought about reviewing Eucerin's Anti-Age lines? You're the only content creator that acknowledges Eucerin has products outside of Aquaphor.

[@db-gb5xi]

Pretty sure except maybe for the sunscreens that line has parfum/fragrance.

[@softerhaze]

Really appreciate scientific breakdowns like this, especially as a biochem student !!

[@ShaeYZ]

Literally was searching for a dr dray review on this product before buying it a week ago. Glad the delivery is taking forever so I saw this before putting it on my face. Thanks Dr Dray!

[@iampinktea]

So glad you posted this! I was just getting ready to order this but I think I’ll hold off for the time being. If your thoughts on this product / spicules change please do keep us updated!

[@audreyabdo7719]

Thank you Dr. Dray! ✨❤✨

[@irinyplesco4063]

Thank you for the wise review,as a professional you have insight and experience which amateur beauty bloggers lack. Working in research I met too many reports on simple things we use daily and don't observe, but do cause issues. And it also depends on each one's body reaction. Like silica in instant coffee or titania in candies 😔

[@Liz-cmc313]

This was very informative. Thank you for the truth. I agree with you on all that was said.

[@sebumpostmortem]

Yesss, *YOUR EXPLANATION* has arrived. We are gonna finally be able to understand, calibrate and be aware of how the spicules work and what this implies. One more time, thank you! 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

[@KenyettaThong]

Meh i was really disappointed a lot of her concerns have already been addressed.

[@kristinek7436]

Thanks Dr Dray. Ditto - please review Qure Microinfusion soon. Thank you in advance.

[@curryisgood6103]

thx for sharing. I wanted to order this today and now I am thinking if I still try it out because I am curious or wait a little bit to see if new research or longterm reviews come out. Defintely greatful that you mentioned potential risks and not only hype up the product like everybody else.

[@SKins34]

This video is so necessary and really appreciate you taking your time to explain this to us Dr Dray :)

[@laurenwasinger9436]

Do you already have a video about what to do if you can’t use retinol or phyto-retinols? I was prescribed a retinol that was too strong, developed a horrible case of peri-oral dermatitis, and have not been able to use any form of retinoid/retinol ever since. What else is a good gently chemical exfoliant?

[@ennyenn]

Well you just saved me some money. I was ready to buy this thing 😂

[@jacooobbb6520]

Hi dr dray !! I was wondering, if you have thought of doing a review on the medicube devices ?

[@db-gb5xi]

For an unsponsored review, check out Penn Smith Skincare. Otherwise, SwoleMD is the only derm I've seen review them.

[@cindee5684]

Why must the word 'TERRIFYING'? 😂 anyway, still I found Korean skin care are more gentle on my skin even though it take me longer time to see results because they are less abrasive. Thanks for this video, I just purchased another sets of VT cosmetics Reedle shot 100,300,700, 1000 and their Vital Light. PDRN. This brand works so well on my skin. Anyway, just my comment, my money and opinion. You don't have to agree with me, Dr.

[@chariots8x230]

What would have been a safer and just as effective ingredient for them to use instead of spicules?

[@jadeskinjoyce]

Thank you for such an informative video! I almost bought this and I have to think about it again!

[@aurealara]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thank you for sharing your discernment ❤

[@rebeccahowie623]

Dr Dray, Bryan Johnson is using the product Adipeau as his main face cream. Could you possibly review it? I've not heard of it before. Thank you!

[@jordannaylor846]

I'm curious if this is something a post transplant and immunocompromised patient should avoid? I'm worried about the foreign body effect you were talking about.

[@LauraLVTGW]

Got it in the advent calendar as well. Spot tested on the inside of my elbow. The rash, bumps and pimples was horrible!! Tossed it right in the trash. Many blessings!💖💖💖

[@GY2451]

@Dr Dray, On their Amazon page they (VT cosmetics)mention that "Cica Reedle is designed to naturally shed along with the skin's dead cells 72 hours after application. Even if any residues remain, they will be removed natural". I am not sure how reliable this information is though

[@kategoatley9075]

I respect Dr Dray’s thoughts, but I also note that no actual testing occurred, so I’m going to wait and see if others that I follow and respect try it out.
