How to Improve & Protect Your Skin Health & Appearance | Dr. Teo Soleymani

But in doing that, you're a bloody mess for a few weeks. Not popular for many reasons, but very effective. We did a ton of this at Stanford and we did a ton of the other one at Stanford. In my practice, I do a lot of laser work as well. The non-ablative stuff picks and chooses.

That was the beauty of learning about laser and photobiology is how we target a certain structure and avoid damaging all the other ones. That the theory of selective photothermal lysis that came out of Rox Anderson's lab at Harvard, that was the game changer. We can now pick any appendage in the skin and find a way to target it and leave the rest undisturbed.

So if you have broken blood vessels, you decide to use BPC-157 and it worked great and the blood vessels started to grow and you're like, I don't like the look of them. There is a laser that targets solely blood vessels.

IPL is okay. IPL stands for intense pulse light. It's somewhat effective, but not very effective. The gold standard is what we call the pulse dilaser or the V-beam laser. And that is a 595 nanometer laser that targets oxyhemoglobin.

I think they're very effective. I think they work great. The question is, to what extent is that improvement objective and measurable and what extent is subjective? That being said, there's a lot of evidence that shows that red light therapy improves vascular flow in the skin. We use it for things like hair restoration, post-procedure recovery, improvement in skin health after UV damage.

We actually found a recent study that looked at red light therapy and irradiating mice. And if you pre-treat the mice with the red light therapy before they get UV exposure, compared to controls, the pre-treated group had much less of the changes with UV exposure. So very fascinating stuff. How it works, uncertain.

We think a lot of it has to do with increased vascular flow, which is why a lot of times we recommend it for post-procedure. We recommend it for hair regrowth. There's some evidence that if you increase blood flow to the dermal papilla of the hair, it grows new hair. That's how minoxidil or Rogaine works. But I like it. I think it's a great product, a great group of products or devices.
