The skincare TikTok tag has more than 79 billion views. While many of the beauty trends on the app are harmless, there are also DIY treatments that can get dicey.
At-home microdermabrasion can lead to exfoliating your skin to the point of bleeding, says Somenek, and in some cases can result in lasting hyperpigmentation. Meanwhile, DIY microneedling could cause scarring if patients use a needle that penetrates the skin too deeply. Reusable microneedling rollers could also cause a bacterial skin infection such as cellulitis, says Somenek, as it’s unlikely you can sterilize the equipment appropriately at home.
The 32-year-old Alexandria resident downloaded TikTok at the beginning of the pandemic and spends about 45 minutes on it daily. Her “For You” page’s algorithm serves her up a blend of cleaning hacks, cat videos, how-to’s for curly hair, and skin-care tips—which is where she learned of slugging. Can gua sha reduce inflammation? Sure. Will it provide you a Botox-like facelift? Not likely. Somenek thinks gua sha massage is a good way to reduce facial puffiness temporarily. But, he says, if you’re looking for noticeable, longer-term firming or antiaging effects, you’ll have to see a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
