Q & A
LEDマスクはどの肌の症状に効果がありますか?
-LEDマスクは、酒槽鼻、乾痩や異位性皮膚炎、傷の癒し、ニキビ、抗老化などの効果が報告されています。特に、ニキビの治療において膿を形成する炎症性ニキビに効果的です。
LEDマスクの青色光と赤色光の違いは何ですか?
-青色光は较短い波長で皮膚の表面に達し、ニキビ菌を直接殺菌し、炎症を減少させる効果があります。一方、赤色光は较长い波長で皮膚の深部に達し、コラーゲンの生成を促進し、抗老化効果をもたらします。
LEDマスクを使用する際の注意点は何ですか?
-特に青色光は、皮膚の色素細胞を刺激し、色素の生成を促進する可能性があるため、色素沈着や黒ずみやすい肌質の方には注意が必要です。また、光敏感性のある症状や疾患がある場合は、使用を避けるべきです。
LEDマスクの効果を最大限に引き出すためのハックは何ですか?
-スキンケアの基礎治療と組み合わせて使用することで、効果を高めることができます。例えば、レチノイドやサリシル酸を使用することで皮膚の表皮を薄くし、LEDマスクの光がより深く浸透するのを助けます。
LEDマスクの使用頻度や継続期間はどのくらいが適切ですか?
-研究に基づく効果は、少なくとも12週間の継続的な使用を基にしています。効果を期待する場合は、この期間を目安に定期的に使用することが重要です。
LEDマスクの価格帯はどのようになっていますか?
-LEDマスクの価格は、機能やブランドによって異なりますが、このトークでは100ドルから400ドル以上の製品が比較されました。価格が高いほど効果があるわけではありませんが、使いやすさや機能性に違いがあるため、予算やニーズに応じて選択することが重要です。
LEDマスクの使用中に目を守るためにどのような対策が必要ですか?
-使用中に目を守るために、製品に付いている眼保護のメガネを使用することが推奨されています。しかし、赤色光や青色光が目に及ぶ可能性があるため、治療中に目を閉じることも一つの選択肢です。
LEDマスクの効果を評価するためにどのような研究が行われていますか?
-LEDマスクの効果を評価するために、体外実験と体内実験が行われています。体内実験では、人間での効果が検証されており、特に赤色光の抗老化効果や青色光のニキビ治療効果について、好評な結果が報告されています。
LEDマスクの使用が推奨される肌のタイプは何ですか?
-LEDマスクは、炎症性ニキビや抗老化を目的とした治療に適しています。しかし、色素沈着や黒ずみやすい肌質の方には、青色光の使用に注意が必要です。また、光敏感性のある症状や疾患がある場合は使用を避けるべきです。
LEDマスクの使用中に他のスキンケア製品を使用できますか?

Highlights
The discussion revolves around the efficacy of LED masks in skincare, particularly for anti-aging and acne treatment.
The hosts express skepticism towards skincare devices, emphasizing the importance of scientific research behind their claims.
LED devices have been shown to be beneficial for conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, wound healing, acne, and anti-aging.
The difference between UV radiation and visible light spectrum is explained, with visible light being divided into blue and red for LED masks.
Blue light is effective for treating acne and pigmentary conditions due to its shorter wavelength that doesn't penetrate deeply into the skin.
Red light, with a longer wavelength, penetrates deeper and is beneficial for anti-aging, stimulating collagen production.
The hosts discuss the mechanism of action for LED masks, including photobiomodulation and its non-invasive nature.
Clinical studies have shown that red light can increase collagen and elastic fibers, leading to a reduction in wrinkles.
Blue light may stimulate melanocytes, potentially leading to hyperpigmentation, especially in individuals with darker skin tones.
The hosts review the Dr. Dennis Gross Spectralite Faceware Pro Mask LED, discussing its features and practicality.
The mask offers a three-minute treatment for acne and has a rechargeable battery, allowing for portability and ease of use.
The hosts share their personal experiences with the LED mask, noting its effectiveness and ease of incorporation into a skincare routine.
The hosts conclude that LED devices are worth the investment, offering a low-risk, high-efficacy treatment option.
The discussion includes a comparison between at-home LED devices and in-office treatments, highlighting the benefits of both.
The hosts encourage viewers to set realistic expectations and use LED devices consistently for at least 12 weeks to see results.
The video ends with a call to action for viewers to like, comment, and subscribe for more content, and a mention of upcoming short video formats for Q&A.
Transcripts
what's up everyone dr maxfield dr shaw
and welcome back to our channel dr lee
and today we got a great topic we got a
lot of requests for this so what are we
talking about
are led masks worth the hype so
i just got to say this because i am
highly skeptical of almost
everything that comes out in skincare
but also particularly devices
particularly devices
i find that most devices over promise
and under deliver if you go back and
watch my microcurrent device video i
kind of eviscerated the technology
on it it wasn't to say that these don't
work and that people haven't had
positive experiences with them but there
just was
no research on these devices i mean
there are so many devices that they're
marketing heavily you'll see ads for
them all the time you'll see influencers
talking about them but there really was
no science behind him when i did the
literature review on those
particular topics but for us like when
we're putting together videos i think
that people come to our channel not to
say
this felt really cool on the skin for us
but to look at the science behind it and
see if it's actually worth it and has
proven studies behind it so that's the
kind of value we try to bring to you
guys
however right and that's why it took us
so long to get this out to you i mean
there was study after study after study
just on different diseases conditions
that this has been used in at the actual
devices themselves
the light wavelengths themselves so for
me it gave me an opportunity to geek out
nerd out and i just
i love that side of it in complete
opposition to what i found with
microcurrent
this is a completely different topic
we're dealing with something that
actually has a lot of research and now
we have to decide
if there's a lot of research is it good
research and is it actually going to do
what these devices say they're going to
do
so we're going to find out here we go
here we go
so the idea of using light to treat
different skin conditions is definitely
not a novel concept
we've been using light and dermatology
to treat things like psoriasis
skin cancer vitiligo and a plethora of
skin conditions for
a very long time now these new led
devices have been shown to be beneficial
in things like rosacea
psoriasis atopic dermatitis wound
healing
acne anti-aging but and even hair loss
honestly so this will definitely be in
our hair loss video so we'll talk about
it then but in this video we're going to
focus on
anti-aging and the anti-acne benefits of
these devices
so let's set the stage here a little bit
because you know when you hear light
you're thinking okay well light can
cause skin cancer and aging so we have
to kind of differentiate that there's a
spectrum of light here so when you start
with uv radiation that has a lower or
shorter wavelength and that's going to
be uvb which is going to be 290 to 320
and uvb radiation is going to be the one
with the most significant damage to your
dna and the one that's going to lead to
skin cancer the most
and then from 320 to 400 that's your uva
radiation that one causes a significant
amount of aging it has a longer
wavelength than the uvb radiation
and it gets deeper into the skin to sort
of damage those collagen bundles and
then beyond that we step into something
called
visible light spectrum and so we talk
about this sometimes when we're talking
about sunblock but this visible light is
where you get the colors
so visible light encompasses all the
colors it goes anywhere from
blue to red and that's kind of the two
ends and then infrared thereafter and
we'll focus it on those two ends blue
and red because that's we're gonna get a
lot of the benefits from the led masks
and it's actually quite interesting
because depending on what the wavelength
is
the benefits on the skin are much
different and that's because they
penetrate deeper
they target what we call different
chromophores chromophore is basically
something that absorbs light at a
certain wavelength and so it's actually
very specific based on light so it's
really kind of a fascinating concept
that really depending on the color of
the light the effects on the skin and
skin conditions is completely different
this is one of the things we just keep
coming back to and it's being deliberate
thoughtful and knowing what you're
treating and why you're treating it
so this is again you can't just pick a
color and hope it's going to treat
everything on your skin
everything has a function and a purpose
and a role and we're going to help guide
you to know which color is going to help
what condition
all right so let's talk about blue light
so blue light is on the shorter
wavelength of visible light spectrum
because it's shorter it does not
penetrate as deep into the skin and so
it's most useful for the conditions that
will sit towards the top
right so if we think about being
deliberate again the conditions that sit
on the top of the skin are going to be
things like your acne conditions
your pigmentary conditions because those
are all very high up in the epidermis
and then things that are a little bit
deeper down in the at the dermis layer
of the skin where all your collagen and
hyaluronic acid is
it's not going to have as much of an
effect on those areas just because it
doesn't penetrate sd
and then we have red light on the other
end of the spectrum this one has the
longer wavelength and so it penetrates
deeper this can affect things like
collagen
fibroblasts and really help with some of
the anti-aging benefits that a lot of
people are looking for with these
devices
interestingly the oil glands that we're
targeting in acne seem to sit both ways
they both have these lights have a
different effect on the oil glands in
different ways despite being in
different lengths
so now we're going to move on from the
light spectrum and we're going to talk
about the individual conditions that it
can treat
so the first one is acne right so acne
it's going to sit up higher in those
pillow sebaceous units or your pores
essentially and that's where the
acne bacteria lives now blue light
actually causes a chemical reaction with
something that's produced
called porphyrins now when light hits
these porphyrins in the skin it causes a
chemical reaction that can actually
kill the sea acne's bacteria so if we
look back at our video that we did
on acne acne is caused by a couple of
things so there's bacteria
there's inflammation and there's oil
production and they all contribute to
the formation of acne now interestingly
this blue light can have multiple
effects on the causes of acne
so blue light directly kills the
bacteria that he was talking about it
also decreases the oil gland
proliferation so it stops them from
maturing and growing and then it also
can decrease inflammation
elsewhere except for the inflammation
it's causing in the bacteria
so it's going to have a trifecta on this
and then if you look at red light
red light is actually going to decrease
oil production so for all of you that
are looking for things that can decrease
oil production red light has actually
been found to decrease oil production
so it's taken out multiple forms of what
causes acne but the key here is that
most of the studies found that it's best
for the inflammatory form of acne
in fact it's like only effective for the
inflammatory form of acne i can't
overstate that because it's not going to
help the open and closed chromodomes
that aren't in flames
right for so if you have little bumps on
the skin that aren't inflamed they're
not red they don't have
pus forming this is definitely not the
best treatment for that for those i
prefer
your retinoids your salicylic acid
because i always have to mention those
but for those inflammatory lesions this
is actually shown in
i guess in 12-week study almost 80
percent decrease in lesion count
so i really believe for the treatment of
acne this is a good adjunct treatment
absolutely complements everything that
you're already doing for your
foundational treatments so it's not a
substitute
for for all the other treatments but
it's actually something you can use in
addition and it's actually not going to
interfere with your other treatments
in fact using your other treatments may
make this more effective
so using retinoids which end up thinning
out that very top layer of the skin
called the stratum corneum may help this
light penetrate a little bit better and
be a little bit more effective for
treating
your acne this is crap this is total
crap he doesn't know this but i
so i had a hack hat coming your way
totally original so one of the studies
did this thing they did
microdermabrasion before doing light
therapy and i was like oh brilliant you
know we just did an exfoliant video
so here's my hag still original so you
exfoliate
and then you can actually after
exfoliating introduce this light therapy
that'd be a perfect time to enhance that
light penetration and increase its
effectiveness
that's definitely a good hack so the key
here is actually what's interesting
about it is that if you understand sort
of the mechanism of how these things
work
and what you're trying to target you can
almost come up with your own hacks that
exactly even without scientific evidence
you probably know that they're going to
work based on what the mechanism is
yeah and that's why we love just giving
you data and information because you
know we want you to be empowered to make
these critical decisions on your own and
like think about these things
deliberately and have fun with it
so that was the first i guess dr
maxfield original hack i know i said
before in the past he's never had any
original ideas activated
every now and then he has an original
thought so you know maybe i was wrong
so since both colors work it's kind of a
question of which one to use and then
some studies and a lot of studies have
shown that if you use both
it's going to be more effective than
using one alone so they do complement
each other when using it for acne
so these devices definitely have
benefits in the treatment of acne
so let's talk about anti-aging and i got
to say this i am
extremely skeptical of anything
anti-aging because i feel like a lot of
people
spend a lot of money for anti-aging
benefits and have
very minimal results so anything touted
as anti-aging be a skeptic about those
things
so what do we think about the anti-aging
effects of these devices
when i think about aging i think
primarily of wrinkles and this
pigmentation
so wrinkles is where these devices are
gonna have most of their benefits so
that red light penetrates deeper into
the skin
it's gonna stimulate fiberglass to
produce collagen collagen is gonna give
your dermis volume and it's gonna help
get rid of wrinkles now there's a lot of
different ways that different
products and devices and procedures can
stimulate collagen
some do it by causing little micro
trauma to the skin that ends up
stimulating wound healing factors so
that's how
a lot of these radio frequency devices
work this is how a lot of these
ultrasound devices work this is how
micro needling works it's actually kind
of interesting because red light doesn't
do that it does something called
photobiomodulation where it actually
just
stimulates your fibroblasts to produce
collagen
and this is the ideal technique if you
can leave that top layer of the skin
alone and just directly activate that
deep layer of the skin to build that
volume that's a really nice concept and
there's definitely some evidence that
this can do that
so no thermal injury it's not producing
heat it's actually
just stimulating these things to produce
collagen which is amazing
it's it's pretty exceptional actually
and the studies that have been done on
red light actually having this effect
have actually been
really good studies so not only have
they done studies in what we call
in vitro studies where they're looking
at just things in a lab they've actually
done in vivo studies where you're
actually looking at humans and seeing if
these
actually work on the skin so it's really
great studies that have been done on
these so it's not just you know
theoretical at this point they've
actually shown results in human subjects
that red light does have a benefit on
anti-aging
in my favorite study this is one where
they had a group of people and they
actually did a split face so you treated
this side of the face you did not treat
this side of the face you get to
see the results see how well it worked
and then the other part is they actually
biopsied it so volunteers in the study
let them
take samples of their skin look at
another microscope and then we get to
enjoy the benefits of this knowledge
so it showed that it increased collagen
the collagen bundles were thicker
more compact and well organized and it
also increased elastic fibers
and this is exactly correlating to what
you see on the skin when we're treating
wrinkles just replacing that volume
not only showed biopsy proven results
that showed increased collagen that was
tightly packed
well organized increased elastic fiber
but also they showed clinical
results that show that the actual
wrinkles did decrease in these patients
this is the study that i wanted them to
do for microcurrent which is why i was
so critical of those devices because
these studies have been done for led
devices they can be done
they're not that expensive especially
for companies that are
promising things with 400 devices now
bear in mind the devices in microcurrent
and these devices are about the same
price
and so if led has the studies behind
them then we should challenge
all companies to produce similar results
if you're going to spend your hard
earned money on them
and then the other side of aging is this
dispigmentation and that's where we
begin to question like is this the
device for you
so this is where we get a little bit
into cautions so cautions are always one
of the most important things to me when
i talk about anything that we put on the
skin or any device that we use
so there's mounting evidence that
particularly blue light
so blue light can stimulate your
melanocytes which are those pigment
producing cells of the skin to actually
produce
more pigment and so we're finding more
and more that blue light from the sun
and from maybe from our devices so
that's sort of up in the air we're not
100 sure about that but we do know that
blue light at least in studies
is increasing melanin production so if
you have a pigmentary disorder
like hyperpigmentation or dark spots or
melasma or you're somebody who has a
darker skin type that is more prone
to dark spots then you definitely want
to be cautious when using blue light so
they've actually done very particular
studies on these different wavelengths
of light
and they did find that blue light does
stimulate pigment production
particularly in people with darker skin
tones it forms a
particular complex that seems to be more
common in people with darker skin tones
that can lead to hyperpigmentation
whereas red light in multiple studies
has not shown to have that
effect and so when i am counseling
people on whether or not they should be
using these led devices particularly
blue light i would say talk to your
dermatologist if you're getting blue
light treatment at the office but i
would definitely
exercise extreme caution when using blue
light devices at home
if you are prone to hyperpigmentation
and this may change as more studies come
out
but because of this because of people
that are already prone to this and
because of how difficult it is to treat
hyperpigmentation
if you have hyperpigmentation caution
with blue light
red light seems to be safe and then
let's extrapolate on that just a little
bit more
just light devices in general if you're
someone with a photosensitive condition
like polymorph slide eruption like
porphyrias especially we know that those
are aggravated by the visible light
spectrum so people with those conditions
you should just stay away from these
devices altogether
right so that would be probably one of
the only contraindications these devices
have actually shown
a lot of safety data so overall they are
particularly safe devices unless you
have a photosensitive disorder like one
of the ones he listed so now a fun part
we've been trying different products out
for
a period of time actually it's been a
while since we started this little
journey
we have a couple that we want to discuss
and share with you all right on to the
fun stuff
all right so we're going to be talking
about the dr dennis gross
spectralite faceware pro mask led
long name here so first of all not not
sponsored by
dr dennis gross here so this is just a
really cool device um they were sent
they were gifted to us a lot of stuff is
gifted to us the microcard devices were
gifted to me
i still was not i was not kind to them
so at the end of the day
uh you know we'll always give you guys
unbiased reviews regardless of how we
acquire the devices
so my favorite part of the box is
actually the back of the box the first
thing i noticed when i
saw this oh man a study i love it when i
see a study on something and i know you
can put together a really small study or
a crap study and just throw it on a box
but it gets me excited because it lets
me know that the company is at least
invested in proving that their product
works so some of the claims
on this device are that it smooths
full face fine lines and wrinkles it
firms the skin it reduces the appearance
of sun spots age spots and discoloration
and even skin tone and texture it clears
mild to moderate acne prevents acne
flares up calms redness and reduces
inflammation and increases skin density
so first of all it comes out of the box
like this the straps are a little bit
kind of
difficult these straps are like very off
for the quality of the actual device
itself like the straps really just don't
play
well with the rest of it right so the
straps were a little bit once you get
them figured out they're fine but it was
a little bit clunky at first for me to
figure out
really cool looking device um i actually
they have a black one all black limited
edition right now that's pretty cool
so it looks great looks awesome please
send us that one i'm just kidding
so one click and it gets you to the red
setting
the second click gets you to the blue
setting and then the third click gets
you to that sort of
mix blue and red light setting they have
very specific changes so you can either
do
both at the same time you can do one or
the other
yeah red blue or red and blue but
because we went over what the different
benefits are
with acne you could probably use both
and see a benefit
if you're looking particularly for
anti-aging i would go with just the red
light setting
and if you have hyperpigmentation darker
skin tones that are prone to
hyperpigmentation i would go with just
the red light setting so then we kind of
get into the practicality of using these
things so this one touts like a
three-minute treatment for acne and
that's obviously a very small commitment
for your time
using the masks just in a daily basis
seems kind of cumbersome but
this one and i'll put this on for you
guys because i want you to see that you
actually do have a little bit of a
visual feel like you can interact with
life
you can look at your phone you can talk
to people if
you're comfortable talking to people
with this on your face but you can
actually live life and do things while
you're using this
this is kind of a nice design because
then you can compare it to
some other devices that have you know
similar functionality they have the same
light spectrum and you know there's a
reason they have these glasses in here
and we'll talk about that too
but we just have like very little
attention span and i can't it's actually
kind of difficult to sit here for five
minutes ten minutes or however long
you're going to use this
and just quietly reflect on your life
decisions right so this is actually
i think a pretty well designed mask it
looks pretty cool it definitely has that
sort of instagram worthy appeal to it
um i was like outside walking the other
day and i had the mask on so you know
it's not something that really gets in
your way
you know sometimes i like to create a
scene you know at the end of the day
but uh but yeah so it's pretty good you
can do a lot while it's on like i'm
talking to you i can still see the
camera
and um it didn't it wasn't cumbersome to
me so a lot of you guys know
i talk a lot about this on clubhouse is
how i really will not do things that i
feel like are really inconvenient for me
so my skincare routine always takes less
than five minutes i find that if some of
these devices they have led devices that
you have to pass over your entire skin
and it takes a while and you're not
going to get that three minutes of fully
focused led
those kind of things are just something
i personally would not use led masks on
the other hand
ones that you can actually see and do
other things or you can just lay down
and kind of
meditate or whatever you want to do this
actually was not very cumbersome for me
and it's coming from somebody
straps
and this is coming from somebody who has
a very simple skincare routine so
for me i didn't find this to be too
cumbersome and i actually think if
you're committed to using it
you will see benefits with it so now i
have to reset the straps again yeah it
didn't break it's just
it's just very easy to like pull it out
and stretch it out and you're like
you're doing it wrong no i guarantee
we've got this locked in right through
the strap here they would have used like
a velcro or something like that i feel
like we would have been better off yeah
cloth anything probably but i'm
just saying that's okay yeah a little
bit a little bit cumbersome with that
but so so the key thing we liked
actually so obviously the eye
feature here where you can see out
interact with life and like i said
there's a reason they have this here
these are like really obtrusive
very very cumbersome and but why do we
have the eye protection why did they
have that here
and does that mask provide enough so i
think you do
actually end up getting a little bit of
this light in your eyes
sort of regardless of how you position
this but with both of these now i do
think these glasses do protect a little
bit
more than this does um there still seems
to be some reflection
now it's up in the air whether or not
these uh red lighter is going to cause
issues the visible light is going to
cause issues with the eyes if you if it
was me i would probably just close my
eyes during the treatment
i think that's probably going to be the
safest way to do it um because it is up
in the air um but i think at the end of
the day
both of them have some visibility on the
eyes so this one holds a charge
for about 20 minutes or 30 minutes or
something like that so you could
probably get
three four uses five uses out of this
before you have to charge it
whereas this one actually needs to be
plugged in to use it so you actually
need to be close to an outlet to pull it
off so a little bit more cumbersome to
use
but this one is a hundred dollars and
this one is
more than four hundred dollars so
there's definitely a huge price
difference
right so you're kind of paying for
convenience um and i guess you could say
you're paying for the look
too i don't know how necessary that is
since you're going to be doing this for
a few minutes at your house
but um you know both will probably give
you some functionality both will give
you
or the anticipated results but there is
a pretty
significant difference in the way that
they feel and are used in my opinion
and we'll put some links below to other
devices that we're not reviewing here
that are
good and i think would have similar
benefits so the question is are these
led devices
worth it okay so i did a quick poll on
my instagram so i do this every now and
then where i pull the audience
and the poll was do you think led
devices are backed by science now the
polls not over yet
however 64 of you said no
and then 36 percent of you said yes
that's like
13 000 votes or something like that
people saying that they don't think
these are backed by science which is
interesting because they do have some
scientific evidence for them
so the key here is that they do have
scientific evidence
but you do have to set realistic
expectations of what you expect to see
first in the studies they were used for
at least 12 weeks
consistently so you have to use them
consistently to see results
your expectations should be a mild
improvement in your
wrinkles fine lines and for your acne i
would say for mild to moderate acne you
should see some improvement in acne when
used with other acne treatments
and i love what he said about the time
frame with this yeah 12 weeks is
actually an appropriate trial period for
pretty much any treatment we talked
about that in our last video too
so 12-week trial test this out make sure
it works now for our overall
impressions of this for me i actually
love it i think it's functional i think
the data is there i think it complements
what i'm already doing well
so this is actually something i'm
probably gonna consistently
and who knows maybe permanently
incorporate into my skincare routine
yeah i
completely agree with that so final
opinion low risk high efficacy treatment
the only downside is maybe a little bit
of the cost related to this but i do
actually think these are worth it so i'm
very anti-device and i would say that if
i was gonna buy
pretty much any device and incorporate
it into my skincare routine i think that
the led devices have the most evidence
for them right now yeah for at home
devices yeah i think that
pretty much of all the at-home devices
is probably the most effective one so
definitely worth it in my opinion um so
we didn't hate it
so when we talk about this compared to
the in-office devices you know
in-office devices definitely have a lot
more studies behind them they have a lot
more efficacy behind them
as well and there's a huge spectrum
ranging from photodynamic therapy to
actually laser therapy where you use
very very select targeted high-powered
light to treat similar conditions
so always keep that in mind you know
talk to your dermatologist about
what is the best thing for you and if
there's more that you could be doing
right so a lot of these studies that
we're talking about have been done
on the ones that are available at your
dermatologist or your aesthetician's
office
those light therapies so they do have a
little bit more power or fluence but
these at-home devices will have benefit
even if they are a little bit less power
so they probably have a little bit less
benefit but they're also a little bit
lower risk as well
and a little bit safer to use at home
all right so doctorly approved
thank you guys so much for tuning in
please like comment subscribe
let us know what you guys want us to
review next and thank you guys so much

work into
reviewing this and digging in um thanks

and we're trying to utilize the shorts
function
and we're trying to figure out what the
best way to do that is so whether it's
reposting stuff from tiktok instagram
you know i'm very active on or
potentially actually answering questions
throughout the week
so we're going to trial something where
we're going to answer questions
in short video format throughout the
week and we're going to put those into
shorts for you and let us know if you
guys like that format at all
and if you do we'll continue doing it
yeah there's actually a lot of questions
out there you know just can't dedicate a
whole video to some of the things you
all bring up so i love the idea that
shorts could be a way to interact with
y'all and kind of communicate and answer
some questions
throughout the week as you wait for the
longer videos too psoriasis
psoriasis dang your fingers where was i
