BONUS | Melasma and How To Treat It With Dr Danae Lim

Given the state of the world at the moment, this interview was recorded remotely which is why there is such a discrepancy in the quality of the audio. There may be a few answers that are difficult to hear and for this I apologise, but I am still absolutely committed to bringing you the answers to your questions despite current constraints so I have made the entire episode transcript available on glowjournal.com so you can read the answers you might miss- almost like a podcast with subtitles. To find this transcript, simply visit glowjournal.com and search “Candela Medical.” In this special bonus Ask An Expert episode I’m joined by Dr Danae Lim. A cosmetic physician with over 14 years medical experience, Dr Lim is an undisputed skin expert and also has a background in emergency, so her approach to skin is vigilant, safe and well-rounded, with a deep understanding that the health of the skin goes well beyond its appearance. Away from our regular brand founder conversations, I am asked so many highly specific questions about the skin. Given that I am an educated consumer and by no means an expert, it would be extremely unethical for me to even attempt to address your skin concerns which is why I insist on taking those questions to a medical doctor. This Ask An Expert series is giving you, the Glow Journal audience, unprecedented access to medical doctors, professors and dermatologists and, while the series is sponsored by Candela, doctors legally and ethically have to remain completely objective in interviews like this. For this reason, this series is the most authentic way for me to integrate branded content into the podcast because it’s giving you, the listeners, completely unbiased expert answers to your most specific skin questions- questions that I cannot answer myself. As mentioned, this episode is sponsored by Candela Medical, however all of Dr Lim’s views are entirely her own and, as per any interview with a doctor, you will hear absolutely no specific product recommendations throughout this interview. In this episode, we’ve taken the questions YOU submitted on Melasma to Dr Lim- from what causes and how to treat it, through to the impact of the sun and even birth control on the health of the skin.  You can read this interview now at: glowjournal.com/ask-an-expert-melasmaFollow Candela Medical on Instagram @candelamedicalanzDiscover more at candelamedia.comStay up to date with Gemma on Instagram at @gemkwatts and @glow.journal, or get in touch at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
