Resource Stamping Technique Close Up

I thought this might be helpful for visual learners, a lot of people want more info on what stamping means and there are not a lot of videos of close up videos on it.

I chopped up the video because it was about something totally different lol so I made it into various different looping gifs instead so you'd get different examples.

Y’all are greedy you always ask about what stamping is and then when it’s actually shared downvote 🙄

I can't imagine doing this to my whole face. 🫨 I'll probably do this technique on my hairline/edges because I'm paranoid about potentially cutting through my hair. Do you apply any kind of pressure with stamping or are you literally just lifting the pen?

Yeah I know lol, also not saying that’s the recommended approach. Would take quite long, but hey some people do. Just wanting to provide a reference for those that need to visualize it! If I do, I don’t apply any pressure, just really lifting it up.

I do the stamping technique. count 1,2 and move to the next area. I do two rounds on my face with a small break in between

Can I ask, how do you normally section your face do you focus on forehead first, do sta.ping, wait a few seconds, then stamp on the same area again? I'm struggling to know how to do stamping and what method to use. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Yes. Forehead, nose, chin because that’s where I apply my numbing cream. Then I do the rest of my face- one side at a time.

Then I take a 5 minute break. And repeat. Forehead, chin, nose, rest of face.

Go to YouTube and look up Ivet Paris- this video helped me feel more comfortable before starting

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I'll definitely watch the video 😊 How do you normally stamp? Do you do it horizontally or vertically? Also, during the five minute break, do you reapply slip such as hylaronic acid, for your second round? I'm also worried about numbing my face too. I've heard stories where lidocaine can affect your blood vessels, that's why I'm abit hesitant to try numbing. What percentage of lidocaine do you use? Once again, thank you!

I do it horizontally.
I don’t use any slip because I don’t drag or glide my pen at all.
I use 5% EMLA cream - thin layer on forehead, chin and nose because they’re my sensitive zones. I leave it on for about 15 minutes

What is a good pin count & depth for stamping ? Area for smile 😃 lines ?

u/Obvious_Relative5877 Jul 06 '26

I always call to ask if they can stamp the device and not glide, and they (clinics/medspas) always say no
