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？

はい、LEDマスクは他のスキンケア製品と併用することができます。実際には、スキンケアの基礎治療と組み合わせることで、より効果的な結果を得ることができます。ただし、製品によっては光敏感になる可能性があるため、使用前に製造業者の指示を確認することが重要です。

LEDマスクの効果を期待するためにはどのような結果を期待できますか？

LEDマスクを使用することで、皺や細い線の改善、肌の引き締め、ニキビの減少や炎症の緩和などの効果が期待できます。ただし、効果は個人差があり、12週間以上の継続的な使用を通じて徐々に現れることが予想されます。

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

yeah thank you so much for the feedback

this is something you all requested and

we had a lot of fun and put a lot of

work into

reviewing this and digging in um thanks

for your patience waiting for it

i mean we actually do have work and real

jobs we do throughout the entire week as

well and this is something we really are

invested in and put a lot of time into

behind the scenes

all right stay tuned

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
