First week with Sebderm

First week with Sebderm

Hi,

I have extremely sensitive skin and have developed Rosacea 3 months ago, which caused a state of permanent inflammation that destroyed my skin barrier. I couldn't sleep due to stress for 2 weeks and putting aloe Vera ​on my skin has caused seborroic dermatitis on my face, that worsened horribly when not sleeping and that now for the first day ​ever has moved to my scalp. Do you still believe it's at a point that if I were to manage to fix my skin barrier (the rosscea is mostly reactive rosacea to the constant irritation caused by the destroyed skin barrier) and sleep it is likely the seb derm will calm down and not return until retriggered (another week of bad sleep and stress)? I am terrified I now have it forever also on my scalp. ​

My dermatologist is pushing a ton for isotretinoid but I am scared as I also have dry eyes and in general before the sebderm my skin was very dry. ​

Hi,

I would like to start using red light on everything that isn't my face, most specifically the belly and legs as I am on a weight loss journey. I would also like the light to go on the neck to remove extremely early signs of age, but that's secondary.

Is it better to buy a panel (id be covering my face completely when using it) or one of those blankets? Or wrap around masks for my belly (I'd also use it on my thighs)? If I buy one for face and neck, can I just use that for aiding spot body recomposition? I don't want to lose butt and breast fat.

Just for calming rosacea inflammation and reduce redness (no wrinkles), they both appear to have the ability of turning off NIR, but Inia has higher irradiation.

Which one would you buy? Has one helped you?

Hi,

Please link here any mask that has helped you 1. Calm down an active flare 2. Reduce the number of flares 3. Reduce redness.

I wanted to buy a Silkn 100 leds because I like the rosscea results in the testimonials but I keep hearing it's trash, so I'd love to have some guidance from whom has already purchased the winning horse.

Hello,

I would like to purchase a mask, as I have very sensitive and broken barrier due to a a rosscea type 1 flare that standard solutions did not manage to calm.

I would like to start with yellow leds without NIR just for the initial phase of calming it down, and then use standard red to make the flushing disappear completely and work better on bettering the underlying redness + hyperpignebration from the stressed skin.

I am in general afraid of using NIR (as I don't need it for any anti-aging properties, just redness control and removal, and I'm scared of the facial fat loss), so I'm specifically looking for good quality masks that either don't have it or allow to keep it as an option.

I care deeply about the quality of the irradiance.

Which should I buy? At the moment I only found the Equinox and Silkn, but the latter has insane irradiance ranges (80+ units of difference). At the same time, the cheaper the better - any recommendations for rosscea are welcome!

Hi, now that Hongg ASVZ has closed for a while, which other ASVZ gym has the plank/setup for blue bridges? I didn't see one in Irchel but it was crowded so maybe I'm wrong. ​
