growth factors are so powerful. I have used many different ones, and the best in my opinion are: #1 neogenesis recovery- super expensive, one of the few that is oncology approved. AMAZING for post procedure recovery if you can't afford to have this be a part of your regular routine. Getting the small size and using it after RF microneedling or fractional laser, etc. #2 calecim multi action cream. if you have troubles with laxity, jowling etc, this is what you need. Targeted towards lifting, and has given me a jawline lol. #3 reviv serums the ultimate serum- this is a "dupe" of skinmedica's growth factor serums TES and TNS. Most affordable growth factor product I have tried and it is just jam packed full of actives and stem cells. They have made improvements to the formula and dual chamber packaging several times while still keeping it $99. Wonderful serum and I recommend it to anyone new to growth factors. #4 osmosis stemfactor - it's very good but I feel like it works best in tandem with the rest of the osmosis system.
@@TheTbee2 one to use while microneedling is Le Mieux EGF-DNA. It is a little more affordable than some other options, has a texture that stays slippy enough while using the microneedling pen (or dermaroller), and is more simple than some other options so that you aren't getting too many ingredients deep into the skin. I have used that one while needling dozens of times and it is lovely. Hope that helps! It was on sale recently for black friday but hopefully there are some christmas sales too.
Thanks so much new products alwys great to try !Have you tried Reviv Lash serum ? I used EYE ENVY only one that worked but alas they took it off the market Im in Australia so cant buy Latisse tx
@@yashereen I work at a med spa and our injector is a PA that is really great. I would ask if they specialize in Sculptra and how long they’ve been doing it. Definitely worth it!
Thank you Dr. Karam, I don't especially like needles and having skin care that can do this is great and most likely to be done everyday. I am so much enjoying your videos and learning so much about taking care of my skin. I share them with the ladies in my family as they should know these things too and the younger the better. These are great classes and I thank you again Dr. Karam. Be well.
Newly subscriber. Thoughts on human growth factors? Are they safe and effective? I have had a few cancerous spots removed from my face and neck. Thank you 😊
Hello Dr Karam, Greetings from Algeria. Thank you so much for this so informative video, what do you think about Sculptra to boost collagene production?
Awesome info. My question is, what’s best to apply on skin after basic microneedling (no prp no rf) . Right after and 2.3 days post procedure to get the best results and avoiding to irritate the skin. How long after microneedling one can use trifecta? Thank you
There is a book by Dr. Lance Setterfield that gives really good instructions. I want to say Dr. Setterfield suggest only high molecular weight hyaluronic acid day of microneedling and next day. On Day 2-3 you should be able to resume Retin A, Growth factors, Vit C, sunblock and everything else by day 5.

How do I get your growth factor where can I purchase it from? I appreciate your timely response is it sold online or in other retailers? I look forward to your response. You give very detailed information which is so helpful. And I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!
You're better off wearing opaque plastic sun visors or leather or vinyl cowboy hats every time you're in the sun.Always wear them between noon and two p.m. when the sun is directly above your head and don't look up into the sun.Not even if you're wearing sunglasses and sunscreens because even the best sunscreen and sunglasses don't block out all of the sun's rays.
Hi Amir I am 51 years old n I smoke too I am from Mumbai India I hate my face as it's shaggy n dull Please advise, what I should be doing at an affordable price Would you be able to recommend someone here to help me
Hi. I live in Lima, Perú. For me is imposible go to see you. But for me you are the best and I would like your opinion about the last treatment for face. What do you think about Ultherpy??. Is this really good???. Or you prefer an other treatment ( sculptra, Profhilo, Radiesse, etc) when the plastic surgery is not an option???. I would like to send to you pictures in order you can help me with your opinion. I don't speak english but I did my best. Thanks a lot for your answer.
Hi Dr. Karam, I just ordered the Trifecta but I’m wondering what I can do with my clogged pores. I feel like everyone of them are filled. Any suggestions?
Finish it first so your skin can adapt to it. Or you can use a higher tret at the same time but use it like once a week between your current tret and continue to use it more frequently as your skin becomes more adaptable.
My skin is extremely sensitive to Vitamin C, it burns as soon as touched. I use Retinaldehyde with BHA no issues or irritation. None. I there a substitute for those that do not react well o Vitamin C?
Microneedling would be a good thing with great results....ordinary products helped a friend of mine as well ..within one week her face changed for the better to 80%
I wouldn't think you'd need either after a chemical peel unless it was something very mild over-the-counter, not a real, strong peel done in a medical office.
Dear Dr Amir Karam, if I am on vacation in hot country for 2-3 months, how can I keep using my tretinojn at this period of time as I don’t want to stop using tretinoin for long time? Thanks 🙏
Illuminate, step 3 in Trifecta, delivers micro doses of retinol but if your skin is adjusted and ready for more you can slowly add small amounts of tretinoin into your routine before applying illuminate.
@@dramirkaram good to know. Thank u. I will be trying your line. Also, if u get a chance can you weigh in on my question posted regarding rf microneedling versus ipl for skin tightening esp on neck? Thank u!
What would be the order of the 3 skin care products? I am using the trintinoin.1% in a cream that my dermatologist has available and I am using a growth factor product from Zo. Where and how would I use a vit c product?
From the medical articles I've read so far, retinol or tretinoin and the likes of it should not be used by pregnant women or women who plan to become pregnant or nursing mothers. Other than that, the usual warning is for skin irritation, purging, or breaking out.
when using these a-la-cart style products how do we decide how to layer these products to get the best texture and benefit? using some oils serums after health cosmetics my skin gets hyper saturated and i feel like neo from the matrix...
I currently and have for years used 1% tret Union cream 3xs a week , drmtlgy vit ce+f, and ski medica tns. I would like to use your trifecta so if I do do I continue my 1% tret cream, vitc, and tns or any of those or do I discontinue all and just use your trifecta? Thank you!
I believe 3 months. I remember going to a med spa to grate my adult acne and one of the questions where, “Have you used retinoids in the last 3 months?”
I did microneedling without waiting for the 3 months off the isotretinoin, I didn’t see the treatment really work, was it because I didn’t wait 3 months?
@@Michelle-ss8km No. It’s something between 10-15 days. On the other hand, one single session of microneedling isn’t enough , you do it as often as indicated by your dermatologist along with your skincare. I started with 3 sessions of MN with RF and since 2020 MN at home every 2 or 3 months.
What are your professional thoughts on the Luna Sleeping Night Oil by Sunday Riley? It’s pricey, but I have honestly seen a difference in my skin tone when I use it if you can answer this comment that would be super awesome. I have just recently subscribe to your channel, I think you’re awesome😊

Is this a sales pitch? The skin shrivels up without water as we are mostly water. It is not mentioned here. A good routine of at lease 2-3 Litres of free water is what keeps all the hydration and skin problems away and absolutely preventive, plus water keeps weight in check, flushing daily toxins helping the liver act more effectively. plus hats and sunglasses for those who cannot afford will these treatments aid prevent these problems. I agree with sun protection. Always. Careful how you pull your skin about Daily too! That doesn’t help matters. Nonsmoking nor alcohol. Those are skin wreckers.
Hi Doctor watching your videos from South Africa is steaming the face to get product into the layers of the skin a good idea and how often can your steam.Lemons Vit C can it be applied directly to the skin.
@@cathyhunter1263 I already know too much water can lead to toxic shock in the body. I’d rather take my chances with water thanks if it’s all the same to you. Self mutilation isn’t for everyone. Have you seen the series Botched?
What are the growth factor products? Please share.
Got rid of ALL the separate serums and creams I had and I use Dr Karams 3 step trifecta… I LOVE it and my skin looks great! So happy with it!
It’s expensive 😢

If you have to pick just one of the serum, which one would you pick? Is there any close dupe of this which is not $$$$
Dr, how do we get Growth Factors in our skincare routine ? What products/ingredients should we look for ?
I'm curious about this too but honestly also a bit apprehensive because "growth factors" sounds expensive 😅
I'm going to guess it is in his trifecta product. I use Osmosis Skincare Growth Factor Anti Aging Serum for Face. I buy it on Amazon.
Hello Doctor where can I find growth factor please guide
TNS Recovery Complex is in my opinion, the best, but not cheap. It actually works.
is doing intermittent fasting count? It stimulates human growth hormone.
I did Sculptra for collagen stimulation. Best decision I ever made!
I have really wanted to try this! But, I saw some stuff about granulomas and am now too scared :(
@@yashereen i was too bc i went down the rabbit hole of reading online but I haven’t had any issues. Been 4 months and 2 series. Loving the results!

Me too
You get an A+!
You are the only Dr.I trust on my face period.
What are some examples of growth factor products out there? I know you mentioned trifecta. But just curious and want to see & compare other products.
I use Paula’s Choice here stuff are multitaskers and work!
Well, sounds like I'm on the right tract because I have these all in my arsenal.
What order do you apply all these products?

Take niacin & vitamin E …
I’ve been using 1% retinol for about 8 years successfully. Should I move up to something stronger, a prescription? I’m in my early 30’s
I too was on 1% for even longer. The % in this product actually produced better results. My skin didn’t flair switching out the 1% for a lower %.
The only way you know is to try it. I'm on olay retinol for month and a half. Now i'm on tret 0.5%.
This Skin School info is the best!
So glad you like it!

is microneedling with SCULPTRA any good?
I love ear all your tips thanks 🙏
Hi Dr karam, do you think Profhilo is a good treatment to improve collagen?
Very educational, thank you. I use tretinoin 0.006% do you think that’s too low, or should I go higher.
Finish it first so your skin can adapt to it. Or you can use a higher tret at the same time but use it like once a week between your current tret and continue to use it more frequently as your skin becomes more adaptable.
Use 0.025%
Build up. I also started from 0.006% am now at 0.024%
Can propolis act as a substitute for vitamin C?
Thank you for the easy understandable and informative video
They don't replace one another but they can be used together
