Deplorable JanetHOST
Or a recent...
Deplorable JanetHOST
Treatment with an isotretinoin, which is like acne medication.
Deplorable JanetHOST
It used to be like Accutane.
Deplorable JanetHOST
They took that out of the market, but there's a couple of other ones that are still on the market.
Deplorable JanetHOST
Or guess what? Any product with a retinoid, if you use retinoids of any kind, you should never do microneedling.
24 MINS LATER
Deplorable JanetHOST
So they have no idea whatsoever.
Deplorable JanetHOST
what is going to happen and since we are all different and our body chemistry is so different our makeup individually is so different from the next person that how in the world would you know if you got deathly ill after this would you put two and two together that it was from your microneedling
NicoleGUEST
Well, and again, as we talked about, I think in the beginning of the episode, you mentioned something about Accutane.
Thais AliabadiHOST
Let me put you on doxycycline.
Thais AliabadiHOST
Let me put you on Accutane.
Thais AliabadiHOST
You complain of hair loss, let me give you minoxidil, do the red light therapy.
Thais AliabadiHOST
I have, I mean, and the list goes on and on, but no one really addresses this metabolic dysfunction that is the first, it's the start of all this.
Ken BerryHOST
The next is the synthetic vitamin A analogs used to treat severe acne.
Ken BerryHOST
You've probably heard of Accutane in the past, and this is not real vitamin A. It's a synthetic, a fake vitamin A analog, and it can cause a substantial amount of hair loss in some people who take it for severe acne.
Ken BerryHOST
There are actually many, many brands.
Ken BerryHOST
I'm gonna put a link down below to all the different brands that are sold in different countries.
Chris TaylorGUEST
I love the fact that beauty products make you feel a certain way.
Chris TaylorGUEST
Definitely when I was suffering with acne at such an early age in my life, and I saw what Roaccutane did to so many of my friends and people that I knew, I didn't want to go down that route.
Chris TaylorGUEST
So I wanted to find kind of natural solutions.
Chris TaylorGUEST
And it actually took me to being a Saturday boy in a very conservative shop at 17 years old, selling beauty products.
JohnHOST
So the two guys I think over him and Justin Herbert coming into the league with the pimples, right? And, and so he actually, he looks like he actually has some acne scars on his face.
JohnHOST
And so apparently he, in the off season, he started taking the prescription Accutane, which is for acne.
JohnHOST
I remember this in the 90s.
JohnHOST
Yes.
JohnHOST
If somebody is just selling a bill of goods of pure crap here, they've done a really good job.
JohnHOST
I just find it hard to believe that Bo just said, man, I was taking this script and it's messing with me and I'm not anymore.
Sean FergusonHOST
Well, what is the reason for taking Accutane? Is that just purely an appearance enhancer?
JohnHOST
It's all about reducing the acne.
Chris PrimoGUEST
You could try that.
Chris PrimoGUEST
Have you used Accutane by any chance? Mm-mm.
Chris PrimoGUEST
No. Wow.
Chris PrimoGUEST
Um, that surprised me.
Chris PrimoGUEST
You have a very clear skin.
Chris PrimoGUEST
So, um, yeah, I mean, Accutane, I asked that cause a lot of people use, uh, Accutane and that, you know, obviously basically kills your sebaceous glands, which, um, can cause like just dry skin, um, and more brittle hair.
Chris PrimoGUEST
Um, so, uh, yeah, I mean, that was, that was a possibility I would, I would ask, but, um, Yeah, I don't know.
Chris PrimoGUEST
Like I said before, I know estrogen modulates genes in the skin.
TechieHOST
Sunscreen is really important.
TechieHOST
So I can't wait till my Accutane is finished and I can go back to using sunscreen.
TechieHOST
Oh, let's have a quick look at this view here.
speaker_1GUEST
Oh shit, grass.
Elliot BewickHOST
So to finish this pipeline of boys getting medicated to ADHD meds early on, and then you maybe break out in acne when you're going through your teenage years, which pretty normal if you actually think about it.
Elliot BewickHOST
So then you get put on Accutane.
Elliot BewickHOST
That drives you absolutely crazy.
Elliot BewickHOST
And again, these are blanket statements.
TechieHOST
I'm really pleased that the sun has gone away.
TechieHOST
It's like a bit cloudy because I am on Accutane and I hate the sun.
TechieHOST
Oh look the rock is right here.
TechieHOST
Oh Peter we nearly hit the rocks.
Eric BergHOST
It's a type of vitamin A.
Eric BergHOST
And we do know there's this synthetic vitamin A medication used for cystic acne called Accutane, but that has some major side effects.
Eric BergHOST
But anyway, there's some interesting information on the relationship between vitamin A and styes.
Eric BergHOST
But if we look at one very interesting thing that can occur with a vitamin A deficiency is that you can get this hyperkeratosis.
