GG, do you do the microneedling on your own, or do you have somebody do it for you?
If you do it on your own, what do you use to do it, and how much did it cost for the 'thingy'? Sorry, i'm ignorant on this....maybe the wife has one, lol. Like the idea of it improving pore size...will it work on nose?
I don't think I need #2 and #3 yet...thankfully. I'll start back up the retin-A
I do it myself. I use the Dr Pen A6 unit. I think it cost about 130 and came with 12 cartridges. The cartridges can easily be used 4ish times. I clean it off in rubbing alcohol after each time.
U dont feel anything below about 1mm. I mostly use about 0.5-1mm on my face.
Im really not even joking... microneedling shrunk my pores down a ton. You have known me a while....u know there are reasons why my sebaceous glands may have been overactive years ago. Ever since those days my pores have been very prominent in certain areas. After a few sessions my skin looks almost too smooth in areas. I was very impressed. Now my woman uses it all the time lol
I was against microneedling for a longtime until they did some good studies showing local increase in growth factors and true path proven collagen increase. I dont jump into hype about anything i wait for good data and for many people i think it would be useful. Id suggest looking up some good before and after pics online. Excellent results for many people.
I understand microneedling may be a bit much for the manly macho men on this forum..yea i get it... it was for me too. But doing something for a few min a week that made a huge difference was a no brainer for me.
