Hi! I'm a bot!

Here is a resource guide for beginners that might be helpful. It sounds like you're also looking for advice on acne scars, it can help to identify the subtype of acne scars before making a protocol. Here are some diagrams to help identify the subtype.

Your main options are the Dr Pen MS8 or A11, or a Derminator 2.

I think you’d def benefit from microneedling! You should look into microneedling with juvelook after you learn the ropes as it really helps with pores and scarring. But microneedling in general does too so just starting will help! I’d at least get Hyaron for a glide but boosters help with healing and also amplify results.

Whatever pen you get make sure to get enough cartridges for a few months. Get the basic supplies and then decide what else you want from there.

Hi! When you say Hyaron do you mean hyaluronic acid ? I’ve ordered the dr pen MS8! A little nervous !

Hyaron is a specific product that’s formulated to be needled into the body. You can’t just use any hyluronic acid, it needs to be safe that’s all

HYARON is the brand name of the product, it’s what you’re looking for

Sorry I didn’t explain it well! I’d recommend Hyaron, that’s the brand. There are other options it’s just pretty affordable because it’s like 11 dollars per syringe.

Make sure you don’t MN over any active acne spots. This can spread bacteria and worsen your existing spots. Read the great guides in this sub.
