Angela talks to Rachel Varga about the world of skincare, focusing on the topical application of GHK copper and the intricacies of micro-needling. They discuss the importance of product stability and formulation, emphasising that the effectiveness of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol depends on their molecular size and stability.
They also discuss emerging skincare trends, such as NAD and photo-biomodulation, while stressing the need for thorough research and caution when using at-home laser devices.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Copper peptides are commonly used in skincare for pigmentation reduction and skin brightening, but the stability of the final product and the formulation's effectiveness are crucial for achieving desired results.
Microneedling does not require deep penetration; superficial treatments can enhance product absorption without causing pain or bleeding. Different depths can be used based on individual skin concerns, such as acne scarring or skin laxity.
Not all skincare products are suitable for transdermal application. It's essential to choose products specifically designed for use with dermal rolling to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Many at-home laser and microneedling devices can be ineffective or even harmful if not used correctly. It's important to research the quality and reputation of these devices to avoid potential skin damage.
BEST MOMENTS
"You do not need to go that deep. You shouldn't be seeing any blood. It shouldn't be painful."
"I always take new things with a grain of salt because I never want to waste anyone's time and money."
"Lasers are the number one point of litigation and where things can go wrong in medical aesthetics."
"I started to eat the right foods, follow a low inflammatory lifestyle, and now I'm actually at 90% skincare, dermal rolling, healthy living practices."
