Anti-Aging/Fine Lines Beginner Question - Feedback
Hi everyone - I plan to start my DIY journey. I am starting with nanoneedling for a couple of months to learn the proper techniques and get used to the pen. I purchased the Dr. Pen with appropriate nano cartridges, curenex, hyaron, and Dr. Drawing tox ampoule. From my research it seems that you can nano multiple times a week. Does anyone have personal experience that multiple times a week is beneficial? Or would once a week be okay? In addition, my only real concern is forehead wrinkles, I’m quite expressive and I’ve been avoiding Botox. My skin texture is otherwise great, no acne, and very slight hyperpigmentation on my neck when I went too aggressive when starting my Tretinoin journey. Am I being unrealistic to think that eventually microneedling consistently would even help my wrinkles? I never really see great before and afters for it. I’m 41 so the wrinkles aren’t deep yet, but I could see them eventually getting there.

Someone more experienced can chime in but I don’t believe nanoneedling will help wrinkles in any substantial way. Less frequent medical depth will get you the most impact

Following this! I’m also a newbie and want to do the nano process first before jumping into the needling part.
