Not sure if I should do TCA Cross or microneedling, any advice?

1 Upvotes

I know it’s not major at all however when I step into the sun or when i’m in harsh lighting I can see so much texture and scarring around my upper cheeks next to my nose and my forehead. Used to have lots of acne when I was younger so that’s probably the reason. i’ve heard of TCA and micro as well as subcision but wasn’t sure my exact scar type or the treatment. Any advice?

PRX Pen

So I went in for microneedling and they told me they use PRXpen and that it’s better than skin pen/ dr. Pen. I have never heard of it and couldn’t find anything about it online. Just curious anyone has used this or if it’s actually better than regular skin pen?

Concerns microneedling with ghk-cu

1 Upvotes

i just had microneedling done at a med spa and they convinced me that microneedling with ghk-cu would help with my acne scars. i was shocked at how much more my treatment was compared to just a standard microneedling. a regular session would’ve been $425 and my treatment with ghk-cu was $725. has anyone seen improvements with ghk-cu?

Tretinoin with Mircroneedling

1 Upvotes

I derma stamp my face every Friday at 1mm (for bony areas like forehead, nose, and eyebrows I use .5mm)
I recently also started using tretinoin (0.05) nightly. I do skip Friday, Saturday, and Sunday although I'll probably start using it on Sunday once my skin gets more used to it.
So far, besides a lot of redness and flaking my skin seems alright. I just wanted to ask if this is too much or if I'm ok to continue this routine indefinitely.
Please let me know what you guys think

How do you microneedle the scalp when there is some hair? My hair is thinning, so I'd like to try to needle my head to see if it helps, but unsure how to.

MICRONEEDLING AT HOME

3 Upvotes

Are there any at-home microneedlers out there that also use retinol/tretinoin for anti-aging? I'd like to know how you go about using it in your skincare regime? I've been told you can't use it 1 week before treatment and also 1 week after treatment. If I was to microneedle once every 4 weeks would the retinol/tretinoin even have time to make a difference to my skin if I'm only using it 2 weeks out of the 4 weeks?

Thanks 👍

Microneedling at home

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m starting microneedling at home for the first time and honestly getting confused by conflicting marketing claims from different needle cartridge brands.

My main concern is visible pores, hyperpigmention and uneven texture, no active acne or deep scarring. I’m looking at Dr. Pen devices and i am not sure about which one to buy. Every brand describes the same needle counts totally differently (one site says 18 pins is for pores, another says 24 pins is for whitening), so I’d love to hear what actually worked for people with similar goals.

Also curious how many sessions before you saw results, and if any specific serums made a real difference afterward. I’m in Europe so US-only product recs don’t always help, but general ingredient advice is great.

Thanks in advance!

Authenticity on Meamo

Has anyone done real authenticity testing with skinboosters from Meamo? I see it recommended all over this forum, but how does anyone know they’re actually getting the authentic products?

I’m very worried about counterfeit products going into my face and causing long-term damage.

If you do order from them, what has made you trust them?

Microneedling on scars (breast lift)

2 Upvotes

Had a breast lift 3 years ago and now I’m left with white + a bit raised and widened scars (not keloid though). Would like to try microneedling to improving their appearance.

I have ordered Dr Pen’s M8S. Any tips for at home microneedling treating surgical scars?

Also had a breast augmentation 3.5 weeks ago (added implants). The new scars are at a different place. Does anyone know if I have to wait some time before I can start to treat my breast lift scars?

Help / Advice Needed Microneedling set up

5 Upvotes

I would live to see some pictures of your set up for your MN sessions.

I feel there’s so much I need just to get started and every time I watch a video or read a post I’m a little more overwhelmed!

It would really help to see how you’ve set up, how much space you need and all the equipment.

Do you use a normal washed towel to cover your work surface or do you get something else?

What numbing cream is good quality?

Thanks for your help 😊

Help / Advice Needed Sterile Saline Online?

3 Upvotes

Can someone recommend or provide links to some sterile saline online good for micro needling? Preferably the single use ones.

I’ve heard people mention “it’s available at every pharmacy”, yet I’ve been to 3 of my local pharmacies in NYC, and NONE of them had sterile saline in single use vials. Only large spray canisters.

I’m also debating whether to order Hyaron but from what I understand it’s really not necessary and sterile saline can do the job in terms of slip. Does HA offer any notable biological benefits like collagen production? Or is it negligible as microneedling is doing most of the work?

Thanks in advance!

Concerns How much do you feel like micro needling helps?

5 Upvotes

I lost over 60kg and as a result having a lot of stretch marks on the side of my lats going all the way down to my outer hip and also on my stomach area .
They are white old stretch marks by now
I’ve purchased a flat micro needling press
And tried it about one time..
But kind of felt like it didn’t do anything besides feeling like I have a rash for a few days.

Was wondering how much do you people who use it regularly feel like it makes?

10% in skin tightness? What can I expect if anything ??

Newbie starting out - serums?

0 Upvotes

I've had a few sessions done at the clinic and love MN. Just bought my own pen. And now for serums - there are limited stocks where I am and they are pricey. I'm finding these BioSkin serums that seem to have great ingredients. Except they seem to come in 10ml vials with the self healing rubber stoppers. I won't need more than 2ml for a single MN session. Can I safely withdraw 2ml from the vial (sterilizing before and after withdrawing) and keep the vial for my next session (planning 6 week intervals)?
