Hi guys! This is Eva from Bay Harbour Med Spa, so here I want to read to you an email
from Karen and the email was as follows. Hi, again, as I've told you months ago, I saw
a dermatologist to prescribe Hydroquinone 8%. She felt terribly at explaining any pros
and cons and how to manage the melsahypopigmentation. Once I reach a satisfactory good result. Through
my investigation, I learned much about hydroquinone and decided to take it for three months, and
then forgot it. Move on to something considered save, but a good product. Hydroquinone can
also cause acne. I didn't know that until recently. I was diagnosed with my melasma
but they also have blackhead spots that erupted recently from breakouts. My question is, if
I would need the Arbutin lightening system for the spots since I, it doesn't clear melasma
and also your AHA Mandelic Acid for Melasma. Will it combat spots and melasma also will
this system need to be used on oiling or will this completely eradicate the melasma. Thank
you! So guys, Karen. And everybody else out there, I, i, i, i want to...explain something.
Melasma is a condition that as many skin conditioners is very hard to get rid of completely. Once
you get it, you get it and it's a discoloration eh that happens very often from hormonal changes
from medication and from sun exposure. You question and you statement the same time came
and the reason I read your email because this came from you it didn't come from me. I am
a big anti- advocate for Hydroquinone. I think that Hydroquinone is an extremely dangerous
product. I think that Hydroquinone should be taken off the market. And all this symptoms
that you explain with Hydroquinone absolutely correct. They is one thing that you did not
say and I can not tell if your skin is white or if your skin is black. But on black skin,
Hydroquinone when you use it, at some point will actually create an ashy purple skin color.
It will become ashy purple. So hydroquinone is a big no no. Just for you knowledge, Canada
is not allowing it's against the law to prescribe hydroquinone because it's cancerous. It can
cause cancer on the skin and so forth. Europe does not allow hydroquinone. The only country
in the world is America that allows hydroquinone for whatever reason. And it is dangerous so
yes, so it will temporary lighten your skin, but then immediately after with it, it will
make you break out, it will give if you are dark skin. It will create an ashy purple look.
So hydroquinone is no. The now to come to second part of your question, whether my Arbutin
lightening treatment and my Mandelic Acid will take care of the melasma completely and
of the blackheads. Eh, maybe yes, maybe no. But here's what I want to say. When you have
melasma this butterfly look, discoloration on your skin. You actually don't need the
Arbutin lightening treatment. The Arbutin lightening treatment should be used mainly
around the eyes. And should be used around your ***. People who want to lighten around
the ***, then thats where Arbutin should be used. But on your skin, you when you have
melasma you don't need to use arbutin. What you need to use and so, my thinking would
be that you skin is dark because you are talking about Mandelic Acid, so Mandelic Acid is the
thing ah that I would suggest to use for people who have darker pigmented skin in conjunction
with microdermabrasion. And having patients is very important and you do it slowly slowly
and you do microdermabrasion and you do mandelic acid. It might take you a year, it might take
you two years, it might take you five months. To eliminate. I can't ever promise anybody
that if you have very dark melasma on your skin that it will eliminate all the discoloration
on your skin. Can do that. Will never promise that you can't. I don't know what the composition
of your hormones. I don't know why you got it. I don't know what your lifestyle is. I
can't promise something like that. What I can say is. If you stay out of the sun, if
you don't take antibiotics. If you protect your skin from the sun with sunblock. If you
use a for instance the Mandleic acid with microdermabrasion and you moisturize and you
clean your face and you follow instructions and directions and you will see tremendous
results. But can I tell you for sure that it will go completely away, no. Now to the
third part of the question about blackheads. Old black discoloration, I think that you
have black heads from the acne breakouts so the Mandelic Acid and the microdermabrasion
will help and if indeed you have from acne like dry skin or pimples and they are blackheads
whiteheads, then what I would suggest is that you use you get the Mandelic Acid starter
kit, which has also a cleanser a toner, and a moisturizer in there. If indeed that's the
case, so for you Karen it would be and that's just without seeing I would get the Mandelic
Acid stage one starter kit which would have the cleanser, toner, moisturizer and it would
have the Mandelic Acid with the neutralizer and then separately I would get a jar of the
microdermabrasion scrub and I would use those and using those together will help you to
combat the discoloration of the melasma and indeed if you have some acne breakouts, this
will help tremendously in the acne breakouts. Now, if you have blackheads, those have to
come out. So the best thing to do is to find somebody who is extremely knowledgeable in
treating human skin and who can do a proper microdermabrasion facial, acne facial, with
microdermabrasion and exfoliate and take out and extract all the blackheads, whiteheads,
contaminants that are in your skin. That's what I would suggest that you do. That's what
I do when you would come to my clinic that's how I would treat it. So I hope that I answered
this question to you Karen and then to ten million other Karens out there who listen
to this video and I hope that my answer is a satisfactory as can be, but guys! At least
it is the truth and it is an honest answer. So until next time, ciao, adios, bye, Eva!
