You’re lowkey the 5th most important person in my life right now!!! Your channel has been life changing.

Nothing has ever been able to keep acne away for me except red light therapy, not even tretinion. I hyperpigment extremely easily but it didn’t cause any hyperpigmentation for me. Red light therapy is the best thing I have discovered this year

Dr V pleaseeee make a complete underarm routine for SOC targeting people who have all these three things at once which are 1. excessive sweating and odour 2. hyperpigmentation and spots 3. excessive hair growth

I am of Indian ethnicity with significant melasma on my cheeks and forehead. I use a red light mask and it hasn’t made my melasma worse. It’s really improved by pores and dark circles. Hope this is helpful to anyone.

I am an African American physical therapist. Red Light Therapy has been used for many purposes for years. It's just not popular due to the cost. I can't speak for the benefits of the skin, but red light works well for pain, inflammation and other medicinal uses. I use my red light on a regular basis and it is effective. A while back I had a very mild ankle strain from doing lots of walking due to an unexpected situation and wearing sandals. I used my red light when I got home and my ankle pain was gone by the morning.

Thank you for this video! Can you please make a video covering nails safety for SOC overall including nail polish, gel, acrylics, use of LED lamps, UV lamps, feet nails, etc.?

This is exactly the information I’ve been looking for. I was on the fence about getting a red light device for the face because of having melasma, now I know not to waste my money. Thank you so much.!

I've been using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official, which my dermatologist recommended. It's made a noticeable difference in my skin texture and reduced wrinkles. However, I find it frustrating that there's so much conflicting information out there about different skin treatments. It’s hard to know what really works. Thanks for sharing such helpful information! 🌟

Can you do a video on these treatments done at clinic such as hydrafacial, led light therapy, and so many more other ones! Very confusing! Thank you

[DivaEagle]

Thank you Dr. V. I have fibromyalgia and red kight therapy has helped with pain. But I noticed the dark spots on my face getting darker. I appreciate the suggestion to put something opaque on my face. I’ll do that while I’m doing red light body treatments

This actually happened to my sister. She was so disappointed. But, again, we people of colour continue to jump on to the next best thing with all it promises.

I've been using the Biomax 900 panel consistently for nearly a year, and I have brown skin. Unfortunately, it made my skin much darker, especially my face. I never had issues with hyperpigmentation before, but I noticed the skin around my mouth and eyes getting darker. On top of that, every breakout now leaves hyperpigmentation, which never happened to me before.

I’ve stopped using red light therapy because of this. The only benefits I experienced were softer skin, feeling more flexible, and being more relaxed—but honestly, you can achieve those results by taking care of your skin, exercising, and meditating.

Now, my skin looks terrible, and I’m working on fixing it. I feel like I wasted a lot of money on red light therapy, as it caused hyperpigmentation, patchy skin, and overall darkening.

To my fellow brown-skinned folks: be cautious when using red light therapy. Anyone claiming it doesn’t cause hyperpigmentation likely has lighter skin, as melanated skin types are more prone to darkening when using these devices.

Dr. V, , , Can you please please do a video on clinical treatments such microneedling, PrP for deep acne pitted scars that are safe for skin of color???

[amberq]

Been using red light light therapy for almost 2 years now and it actually helped with my melasma and I’m SOC. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Lu-bkqq]

Dr V, I have been using the Dr Dennis Gross LED mask almost daily (3 minutes) since 2021 and it has completely changed the quality of my skin. I really love it but now I am nervous that it could cause problems 😩 I don’t have melasma and neither does anyone in my family so maybe I’m in the clear

[ShreyaShreya-uxbd]

Hey dr V,
Can you please make a video on Korean skin care routine with non-comedogenic products for different skin types. Please….
Thank you!!

[HaydeeBarrientos-if]

Is true I tried only one time and I saw right away I saw dark spots got worse thanks for information you always right

[sarixnotxsari]

Thank you for your research!! Can you please do a video on “baby Botox” for people in their 20s? I want to get it but idk how it will affect my melanated skin. I was going to invest in an expensive mask but now I won’t.

[idalarsson]

Thank you so much Dr V, you saved me quite a lot of money by doing this video! Instead I now can use it towards one or two of your kits! 💕
