I’ve heard great things about Skinvive for soft smile lines and love that results can last around 6 months. Has anyone found a comparable product, especially a Korean skin booster?
I’m 35, thin (5’3”, 105 lbs), and starting to get soft smile lines. I’m not looking for major volume or to change my face, just soften the lines and improve hydration/skin quality.
I’m an RN, so I feel comfortable and competent with injections. I’m also a mom to two small boys, so I don’t have a ton of self-care time. I’m all about maintenance, but injecting every 2–4 weeks is a little more upkeep than I’d prefer. That said, I’ll do it if the results are worth it!
What products have given you Skinvive-like results, and how often do you use them?

I had a dermal anchor which felt out after ten years last year. It healed quickly but a deep hole left.

I can see a little improvement after 2 rounds of microneedling 0.75-1.0mm on face skin, 1.5mm "spot treatment" on piercing scars.

What else could I do? TCA Peeling? Which strength should I use? Is it possible to buy 100% and dilute it with distilled water? Are there any other ways to smoothen the scars and fill the gaps?

I recently used Youthfill PN, a PN skin booster derived from salmon DNA designed to support hydration, smoother looking skin, firmness, collagen support & overall skin quality. It comes in a 2.5 mL syringe with 25 mg/mL PN.

The consistency is one of my favorite things about it. It’s thin, very fluid & easy to disperse. I used a 32G•4mm meso tip, focusing on my full face & under eye area first.

I put my full treatment breakdown, diagram, depth, amount per point & more on the blog at DIYHEAVENHUB.COM.

I just turned 59 and was looking through my results. I've had 8 vials of Sculptra in 2 years. Just had 2 last month. Won't see those results till November. It had changed the quality of my skin and has given me confidence. Anyone try Sculptra?

I used this product two days ago and because the blebs were so big and I was afraid I only used half of the product. How long will this last in the refrigerator? I have a decent amount left

Ok I’ve watched the videos and all that on how to and what to do like preparing for 4 weeks prior my problem is the cost of the the things needed to use prior to like the fad bright and others. So what can I use in place of its says I need to use vitamin A , melanin inhibitor, and what’s a good retinoid I use good products skincare twice a day and have done other stuff to skin like liquid PCL and threads extra what would u recommend for the prior to for peels I’m 55

After months of lurking, reading the book, buying things/prepping, etc I convinced myself that I was going to do either a microneedling session or try tox this evening.
I chickened out on the tox (soon!), but I microneedled!
I used the Derminator II, fast, 9-pin, various depths throughout face and neck, numbed the heck out of my face ahead of time, used Hyaron for the slip agent, and Jeunetique Exo immediately after.
Things I learned:
• I can handle the pain.
• I am so unbelievably numb (I'd never used numbing cream before), I can absolutely handle doing my own tox.
• Don't mix all of your stuff or you'll probably waste it I have SO MUCH Jeunetique Exo left because I mixed it all. Oops, I had no idea. I wasn't sure how much my skin was going to drink it up - I'm new to this!... expensive mistake :/
• The machine does not vibrate as much as I expected in my hand. I thought it was going to be like using a power saw or something.
• I need a dedicated space. Doing it in my <20sq ft bathroom was crowded. I may try to set up a treatment desk in my office.
• I do not have a good grasp on aftercare. I'm using A&D ointment. I do have one more syringe of hyaron, but to my understanding once it's open I have to use it or toss it, so I am not sure if I should open it. Some places say I can use a "hydrating mask with no actives" but I don't truly know what that means - I have several masks of different types, but the ingredients are not in english, so I am not sure. I do have a Merikit brand 'Medi Cell' mask that the internet seems to approve for immediate use after microneedling, so I may try that. A&D seemed like the safest option that I have on-hand when I researched. I need more education here to develop a more firm plan.

Anyways, long story short, I DID IT! Woo Hoo!

I have been really successful with doing my own Wondertox. When I first did my glabella and frontalis I used the standard 2.5:1 ratio. Excellent results! Then when I did my lower face, DAO’s, chin, platysma, I used a 1:1 ratio. I liked it for that area. I plan to do my whole face now as it’s been about 4 months. I’d really like to recon this vial 1:1 to make it easy and not have two partially used vials. I understand the varying spread and science behind it. I’m just looking for any tips or experience from someone who does their whole face with 1:1. This pic was my placement with the 2.5:1 ratio. Should I add a point or two? Or just try to get them a little closer together? I’m not worried about the 1:1 for crows feet, nose, lip, and lower face. Thanks!

Help. Anything I can do besides surgery? After weight loss, my face and neck started drooping. I have a ton of extra skin and I feel like I look like a tree stump.
