5-star Yelp review of OC SkinLab

Latest from Instagram

J & J vaccine administration has been paused by th J & J vaccine administration has been paused by the CDC and FDA.

Given my recent efforts with vaccinating the public, advocating for mass vaccination and debunking myths, I wanted to shed some light on recent events. 

Just like the AstraZeneca vaccine (chimpanzee adenoviral vector) issues in Europe, the J & J vaccine (human adenovirus vector) has been linked to 6 patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (blood clot in a large vein in the brain) and thrombocytopenia (low platelets) out of the 8.6 million people who have received the vaccine.  All patients have been women between the ages of 18-49 and 1 patient has died.  Predisposing health factors were not found in all of the patients. 

The symptoms were seen at least 1 week and not more than 3 weeks post vaccination.  Symptoms included severe headache, leg and abdominal pain, and shortness of breath.

The main issue with this complication is the treatment for the blood clot is very different given the background of low platelets.  We sometimes see this phenomenon with patients on long-term Heparin called HIT or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, where they can also paradoxically form clots.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

If you’ve already received the J & J vaccine and 3 weeks have passed, you’re most likely in the clear.  If not, then monitor closely for severe headache, leg and abdominal pain and shortness of breath.  If you do experience these symptoms, then call your physician.  By severe, we mean worst pain EVER!  Everyone can get headache and mild aches with the vaccine as the immune system goes into overdrive.  This is above and beyond and not helped with OTC medication.

𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱?

Get the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.  To date, 121 million people have been vaccinated with at least 1 of these vaccines and NONE of those patients have been affected by CVST or thrombocytopenia.

In the end, it's vital to remember that every medical intervention has a risk and a benefit. We want to minimize risk at all costs, but it will never be zero.
Happy weekend, everyone!

Love my crazy friends! 💕

Hey goop for brains (@gwynethpaltrow), you're doin Hey goop for brains (@gwynethpaltrow), you're doing it wrong!

Sunscreen is the single most important step in preventing skin cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, signs of premature aging and hyperpigmentation ("sun spots" and melasma).

But unless you use enough of it, it won't work! 🙄

💡Pick an SPF 30 or higher. I prefer mineral-based tinted options like @eltamdskincare UV Elements or Restore.

✌🏻Either use a quarter size amount or 2 generous lines of product on your index and middle fingers for your entire face and neck.

🕑 Reapply after 2 hours! One application in the morning is not enough for the entire day. If you're sweating or wiping off the sunscreen, you'll have to reapply sooner.

🖌️ Powder brush sunscreen is fantastic for reapplication throughout the day. @isdinusa mineral brush SPF 50 is my favorite 😍

What questions do you have about sunscreen?
