00:00 El's dream of having glass skin and no dark spots
00:04 is not a real name.
00:06 She's back to a darker problem.
00:08 I observed that it's close to a wound.
00:14 It was scabbed for a couple of weeks.
00:18 The treatment left me with scars.
00:20 El is a proud content creator.
00:26 But the problem is...
00:28 My skin is dark.
00:30 We're very prone to have discolorations in our face,
00:33 acne scarring.
00:35 I have a dark shade around my jaw and around my lips.
00:40 To solve the discoloration,
00:43 she bought a thick skin care device online.
00:47 She applied the product she bought online
00:50 that removes the blackness of the skin
00:53 and pressed it on her chin.
00:56 I thought I would just google information online
01:00 on how to do procedures.
01:02 I make sure that it's sanitary or it's clean.
01:07 That there's not going to be any adverse effects.
01:10 But the blackness on her chin
01:13 is worse.
01:15 When I did it myself,
01:17 I saw that it's very red.
01:21 I observed it's close to a wound.
01:24 I saw that the treatment left me with scars.
01:28 Instead of whitening,
01:30 she left a scar on her skin.
01:33 When I saw that it's not going to be removed,
01:35 I finally decided to have it checked by a dermatologist.
01:38 According to her dermatologist,
01:41 she had a skin trauma
01:43 because of the wrong use of the skin care device.
01:47 The doctor gave her a scar removal treatment.
01:51 Will El's face lose its scar?
01:53 Stay tuned!
01:54 Meanwhile, according to dermatologist and aesthetic surgeon,
02:02 Doc Grace,
02:03 this skin care device is really used.
02:06 This is like a ball pen that's big
02:09 with needles.
02:11 It has incisions on the skin
02:13 to introduce whatever medicine you want to put on the skin.
02:17 But according to Doc,
02:19 only licensed dermatologists and aestheticians should use this.
02:24 Do not experiment on yourself.
02:26 Maybe you could experiment in other areas of your body,
02:29 but not on the face.
02:30 Because if you have a dark skin,
02:31 you'll be more predisposed to get dark skin
02:33 if your skin is irritated.
02:34 You should not use any product on your skin,
02:38 especially if it's not approved by the Food and Drug Administration or FDA.
02:43 It should be familiar with the contents of the chemicals it uses.
02:46 Some of the chemicals have lead and mercury,
02:49 which is very toxic not only to the skin but to the whole body.
02:52 Some of them can be deadly.
02:55 You have to know who made the product.
02:57 If it's credible, you won't be afraid to use it.
02:59 If you don't know, you should ask a doctor,
03:02 a pharmacist, or a chemist.
03:05 Meanwhile, after 7 months,
03:08 After consistently putting the ointment as prescribed
03:13 and also making sure that I moisturize daily,
03:16 so far, this is how it looks.
03:18 Elle's keyboard has also healed.
03:25 Elle has learned!
03:28 I know it's much cheaper to do it yourself,
03:31 but that's a big lesson for me.
03:33 It's a lesson that I shouldn't DIY,
03:36 especially if I don't know the risks.
03:38 Go to a professional.
03:39 That's my advice.
03:40 Our face is one of the most sensitive parts of our body.
03:44 So if you have a problem with this part,
03:47 face it.
03:48 But there should be a guide by an expert.
