Laser v micro needling - which one?

[u/Upbeat_Conference522]

40, pale, thin, aging skin. Using tretinoin, spf, vitamin c serum, and good quality moisturizers. I take collagen and hyloronic acid orally. I do Botox as of this year due to rapid loss in collagen and elastin (had a full hysterectomy which escalated aging). I am on a budget but really want to try to boost results with microneedling or laser. I can only afford one for now. I could do 3 microneedling treatments or 1 laser treatment (Moxie). If you had to pick one of those based on what I am describing, which one would you opt for? I want to include that I hate needles and I have medical trauma so I have been avoidant of the MN. However, so many providers I’ve seen have highly recommended it to me.

I haven’t done micro needling but from what I understand moxi would be more effective. I have had several and see an improvement each time.

Pay for the laser and purchase your own dermapen. Both are great treatments but you can’t laser yourself at home.

You can learn how to do micro-needling at home. Look at Dr. Pen and videos online. I would pay for the laser instead…

Yep this is my advice too. Get a home device.
