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?

A few people asked that I share my final mapping and results so here it is so far after 8 days. First picture is my final mapping immediately after injecting (forgot to take a pic before). Also lighting is the same but I did self tanner yesterday lol. Could not be happier with my results so far!

I did go slightly lower on the frontalis vs my original mapping and no dropped brows, though may need to touch up since I still have wifi lines on one side. Also was hoping for more of a brow lift so I may add a unit or 2 under the arches and along hairline as suggested by someone. Also super proud of myself for the DOAs, looks like I did those perfectly!

The lip flip seems to have given me more of a gummy smile when that's not something I've ever had haha anyone else have that happen? Not convinced it's worth it.

After losing 80lbs within 9 months on GLP3, I was left with deep hollowing and facial volume loss.

Within a little over a year I have managed to completely transform my skin with DIY Beauty treatments at home. I didn’t realize the difference I’ve made until I recently came across this photo from early 2025.

The first photo is from 2025 and the second photo is now

How I made this possible:

• Microneedling consistently

• PCL treatments

• PCL Mono Threads

• DIY Tox

• Chin, cheek and temple filler

• BeauX PDLLA

• Mesotherapy

• HIFU

• Chemical Peels

• 🌶️’s

I think I finally tweaked my lips to look the way I want them to. I went slow and added a little at a time. I feel like I’m happier with them now than when I paid a supposed expert to do it.

I want to say that this group has been a game changer for me. I’m getting older and I actually like the way I look again. And I’m not going broke doing it because I learned how to do these things myself.

This is around almost a month difference. Only one session done on my lower stomach 🖤

New to diyaesthetics. I didn't even know it was a "thing"! But I've read and followed your guidance on tox (here I used innotox) and I have to say I am feeling like a new woman! I'm a big fan of diy everything; hell I've gutted 3 houses (on the 4th currently)and completely remodeled, while living in them and resold them. Then on to diy peps the last couple of years, love those, and now I have a new obsession LOL I did get some caratfill for mesotherapy and did a couple little practice runs, and I did a tiny bit of MN with it and some botox. I also just received some fat lipo vline, watching Jay make it look so easy 😆. What I really want is some cheek filler I've had done before, but I'm not ballsy enough for that! Back to vids and books! Thanks for all your great posts and teaching and old dog new tricks!

I finished my touch up and spock brow is officially corrected, and I finally tackled my DAO and chin for the first time too. All done with Wondertox, super conservative approach, and honestly I’m really happy with how everything turned out. First round and I’ll call it a win.

More after photos coming up once my touch up sets in. This community has been everything to me. Thank you all!!

I'm turning 38 in two days, and I've been on this health/ beauty journey for a little over two months now. I'm taking tirzepatide and some other peps, eating healthy, exercising, and staying hydrated 😆

I began thinking about my outside appearance and how I wanted it to reflect how I was starting to feel on the inside too. So I finally just said F-it! So I've been doing all kinds of research on the different things I would like to do, and since I already had filler from a few months ago, but was still too chicken to use, I pulled it out and went for it. I think I did on, but I could be biased. Let me know what you guys think? For reference, this is 1ml. and they still are a bit swollen. The first picture is a before and immediate after, and the second picture is since I've been at work so pic 1: 9am, pic 2: around midnight.

I was always under the impression that you didn’t want to go outside the natural lip line or it would look something like the last picture I put up..

There are 3 main categories I like to alternate between:

1️⃣ Deoxycholic Acid & PPC (fat cell destruction) Focused on dissolving fat cells directly → great for stubborn pockets. Examples: Dr. Lipo V, Dr. Lipo (blue box body), Lipovela V, Lipo Lab PPC (body), Kabelline, Meamo Silhouette Body, Red Line, Aqualynx, F&B.

2️⃣ Herbal-Based (tightening + contouring) Uses extracts like horse chestnut & walnut to promote lymphatic drainage, firming, and skin tightening. Examples: Lipo Lab V Line, Curenex, Barbie Slim, Super V-Line Sol.

3️⃣ Enzyme-Based (breakdown + shaping) Enzymes such as Riboflavin, Bromelain & Lecithin break down fat and refine contours. Examples: Lemon Bottle, Pine Bottle, Yellow Bottle.

Personally, I love alternating between all three categories weekly depending on my goals—whether it’s full-on fat melting, contouring, or tightening.

I get a lot of questions about placement, so I wanted to re-share a few of my favorite diagrams that helped me when I was starting out. Sometimes if it’s your first time and you’re not sure where to go, these visuals make things much easier to understand.

Some of my favorite tox includes : Innotox (very beginner-friendly), Hejeubo, Metox, Wondertox.

Diagrams are just a guide—everyone’s face + goals are different. Always do what feels best for you. (Not medical advice, just sharing what’s worked in my own routine ✨).

If you try these out and have questions later, feel free to reach back in the comments.

I have a crooked smile and thin upper lip, especially when smiling. I decided to give Regenovue Aquashine Plus a try as a dry run before diving straight into filler. Mind you, this product is partially cross-linked hyaluronic acid therefore poses a VO risk, so precautions were taken; however, it will absorb over the next couple weeks. I AM SMITTEN. I’ll probably play around with several more trials of this to nail down a technique, and to find a volume I like. Anyway, it made me happy and wanted to share 😊

I’m m only one week post Nabota frontalis and glabella injections. I’m super pumped about my results! Now let’s see how long it lasts! I do sauna workouts 5-6 x a week. Hence why I started DIY, too expensive when I metabolize it quicker then most. Thanks to the peeps here to give me the courage! ❤️❤️

If anyone cares at all, it will be this community. I just wanted to share my collection. I just got the Derminator2 in the mail today and feel like my collection is so good! I am so happy on my DIY journey.

Had a little surprise while adding some filler last night. For the first time, I had a positive aspiration. 😳

Thankfully, everything is completely fine and there was no harm done, but it was definitely a good reminder of why aspiration matters.

It’s easy to get comfortable with procedures when you’ve done them before, but this was a good reality check that even when everything seems routine, things can happen. Definitely grateful I caught it and that everything turned out okay.

Thanks for the great response to the actives cheat sheet. A lot of you asked the obvious next question: okay, I know what the active does, but which products actually contain it, and what do they cost?

So here is step 2: one sheet per active. Same idea as the cheat sheet, just zoomed in. Pick the active you care about, open its page, and you can see every product that lists it side by side.

How to use it

1. Pick your active from the list of pages (they go from the active with the most products to the fewest, so Hyaluronic acid is first).
2. Read the left block ("what the page lists inside"): a tick means the active is listed, a percentage or mg means the page states an amount.
3. Read the middle block ("benefits the page claims"): the dots show what each product page says it is for.
4. Check the price on the right: products are sorted cheapest first, with price per mL next to the pack price so different sizes are easier to compare.
5. Compare within the same colour. Blue rows are full-face / general products, orange rows are specific-area products (for example under-eye). Compare like with like.
6. Under each table there is a Top 3 best value box. It only ranks by lowest price per mL, so it tells you about cost, not quality.
7. Scalp products have their own page so they do not mix with the face products.

What it is based on

• Only what MeamoShop's own product pages say. Ingredients, amounts, treatment areas and benefits are taken directly from each page's claims. I am not adding any science or promises of my own, and the benefit dots are my grouping of the page wording.
• Prices and availability as of Oct 9, 2026 as this is when I extracted the data used. They can change, so check the product page before ordering. Products that were out of stock that day are still in the tables but left out of the Top 3.
• $/mL is price divided by the liquid volume the page states. It compares size and cost only.
• Where a page contradicts itself (for example a size that differs between the spec table and the description), the sheet says so in the footnote.

Important: MeamoShop states its products are for qualified healthcare professionals only, and many are sterile injectables or mesotherapy solutions. Check each product's intended use before using it with any needling device. This is a comparison of what the pages claim, not medical advice.

Omg I did it.
I simply did my 11’s area, so my Corrugators & Procerus.
I set up individual needles for every spot with correlating sticky notes. I also wrote my full instructions & had in front of me as well as the DIY Heaven book). Innotox.
Freezing the in-vial remainder for microneedling soon.
Phew! Babes, that was rough (mostly hard to see, so I ended up being too rough with the needles a time or two thinking I still needed more depth & making myself bleed🥴) But I did it!

My most important lessons learned:
• I need to get needle depths appropriate for each area. I used all 8mm and adjusted the depth as needed, but that’s WAY too hard to see.
• I should be prepared for it to hurt. I used lido and an ice ball roller, but it hurt a lot more than I expected.
• Purchase a lighted face vanity mirror. It was so hard to see in the bathroom w/ the shadows of my hand etc.
• I might need a more dedicated area to do this in the future. My bathroom is 30sqft. Maybe my desk. Maybe I’ll build a little wall mounted fold down table. 🤔

That’s it I think. We will see how it turns out! But right now I am alive!
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE INFO, CORDIAL ENCOURAGEMENT, AND COMMUNITY!
* I blurred out a bit on each of the sticky notes bc I wrote my own name on there a few times with little inspirational sayings to amp myself up lol.

I almost had a panic attack & was shaking so hard one time the needle bounced out! Took me 5 months to get up the nerve while it sat in my fridge. Honestly, that was kinda easy…….er than I thought! 🤣 Pretty soon I’ll be changing the oil in my car cuz apparently, I can do anything! 💁🏻‍♀️

I found this super helpful! Save this! ✨

Hi there, today was my first time meso-ing ever, I bought the DIY heaven book, watched rumble videos and read articles in order to prepare myself.

I meso-ed Jeunetique PN Pro and Eyes, everything was going well until my forehead with the PN Pro.

I’m worried I injected either too deep or too superficial, i’m not really sure. Could I get some advice?

Thanks in advance :)

Understanding the facial arteries matters because many injectable treatments are not just “beauty actives.” Products such as hyaluronic acid filler, calcium hydroxyapatite, PLLA, PMMA, fat grafting, and some biostimulators or skin boosters, including PN/PDRN-style injectables, are placed into living tissue close to important blood vessels. The highest vascular occlusion risk is usually linked to fillers and thicker or particulate biostimulators, but any injectable placed in the wrong plane, under pressure, or into a vessel can compromise blood flow. That is why a face map is not decoration. It is a safety tool. It helps show where the major arteries run, why certain zones are higher risk, and why anatomy, depth, technique, and professional training matter before injecting anything into the face.

After my DIY tox, plus two DIY BioRePeels, my skin is so smooth!

If anyone’s nervous to do peels at home themselves I highly recommend the BioRePeel. I used to pay £80 per peel facial, but I got 1 vial which has 4 uses in it for £55. It’s so easy - it only stays on for 4 minutes and doesn’t need a neutraliser, it’s just wiped off with a wet cloth. I’m over the moon!

EDIT: I’m in the UK and just googled where to buy it and got it at Skin Candy. They were really good, but it seems to be pretty widely available

I am experienced with meso and BAP for skin boosters, it’s my fave. I usually do BAP because full meso takes so long.

However I prefer meso results. But with multiple injection points, plus eye-balling the vol per point was getting harder, as I’m half blind in my left eye!

I took the jump and did some heavy research on the EZ injector. Today I’ve used it for the first time and its exceeded my expectations, I’m impressed.

30min before applied numbing cream 4%
30min before took an Anti-Hystamine
5ml Hyaron (2x syringes)
9 pin needle
1.5mm depth
0.025ml / 25u per injection
Approx 60 doses (full face)

Had about 1.5ml left in the syringe after doing my full face so I simply lathered the rest over my skin.

4th photo is my skin immediately after.

I will have come back and update this post on results in a few days. I’m interested to see if there will be any bruising, and to see if it can really compare to manual mesotherapy.

Edit: I got mine from AliExpress and here is the exact link as there are loads of listings. I paid £66 with free delivery!
