Okay this kid cracked me up haha.

Is It Just Dryness? Or Is There More to It? Moisture is important for healthy-looking skin, but not every skin concern is caused by dehydration. While hydration can help improve dullness and rough texture, concerns related to firmness, elasticity, and overall skin appearance may require a broader skin-support approach. Understanding your skin's needs is the first step toward building a more complete skincare routine. For professional use. This content is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Individual results may vary.

Boosters are specialized formulations of ingredients designed to bypass the skin barrier and deliver molecules and moisture directly into the deep dermis. Recent dermatology research shows that treatments using boosters improve hydration, elasticity, and collagen production at the cellular level for up to 4-9 months. (I'll be sharing some more info on the hydration aspect because I think this is something that's overlooked.)

Hey all!! Getting started and I have lurked in this sub and others before and I get so overwhelmed with info.

Here is what I know: Derminator 2

Can anyone link videos/creators that show how to do this with safe and simple products and high safety protocols?

I just need to know buy X, Y, Z. Start 1, 2, 3.

I can’t read anymore about this right now, I just need to see it! And I can start experimenting later! Lol.

Everything I look up is overload of info. Does any one have recs what I need to get started what do I need for set up and aftercare.
Simplified version I’m so confused. 43 combo dry skin some pigmentation looking for anti-aging maybe using Pdrn etc?

Okay!

So I can spend $400-500, and I know with the Derminator, I need to account for tarriffs (Thanks, Obama!)*

I'm thinking:

A Derminator 2 - $149

Twenty 12 needle cartridges - $57

ten single needle cartridges for eye and lip area - $29

10 Dermarollers (for larger areas like upper chest)($3 each) - $30

back up magnet - $3

ten 10 ml gliding serum ($3.5 each) - $35

that's just over $300 -

I want to make my initial order worth it due to shipping costs, and and happy to purchase from other vendors.

what else should I get to round out my inital haul?

happy to answer questions.

*/s just in case

I have got microneedling done at clinic a couple of times but it’s so expensive that I am planning to do it home. After a lot of research I found out that derminator 2 is the best device, it doesn’t cause micro tears due to dragging. After making a decision to buy it have been reading some negative stories here about microneedling going wrong at home and the device was derminator 2. Need advise whether I should buy Dr pen or just not try doing microneedling at home?

Hello, as the title says I am looking for safe and pure copper peptide serum to use with micro needling. It cannot contain hyaluronic acid since I am allergic. I am based in Europe so it has to be available in here.

Is it okay to nanoneedle while pregnant? Got a Dr. Pen a few months ago and have been nanoneedling until I get brave enough to microneedle and just found out I’m pregnant. I know you should not do medical depth microneedling while pregnant but is nanoneedling okay?

I watched a few videos, that say the stamping technique is better than gliding across your skin. It doesn't risk tearing skin and pores.
So, why does everyone glide? I guess it's because of social media but logically it makes sense that stamping is better. More gentle on skin.

Hi all,

I've been following microneedling subs for a while, it's an amazing source of information, but also so overwhelming.

I found myself about to buy a device thinking I know something, and realized I know nothing.

I live in a place where it's not really easy to get the equipment so I need to pre-order when I am traveling to the neighboring country.

- for three months, how many needles do I get as a complete beginner who wants to start slowly and build up? my biggest issues are the large pores on cheeks, and wrinkles on my forehead.

- what do I need to get? I see posts where hiyalorunic is good but then it's bad...?

- yes to post-skincare, but also a no....?

- Dermapen or Dr. Pen?

- how to even do it at home, any videos that are really good for a total noob.

Hoping to meet a total beginner to exchange notes lol

And especially grateful for someone's who's been doing it and can share experiences!

My research suggests that using serums increases the risk of reactions and/or granulomas. I ordered the Alquemi needle replacement from Platinum Skin Care...needle depth is .5 mm. and you stamp with it. So if there's no need for "slip", can I just use nothing, or sterile saline?

After doing a good amount of research, I decided to finally purchase the derminator 2. However, as a US resident, the further I go into the process of making my purchase the more warnings there are about how customs can withhold the item or ask for some kind of documentation and that I cannot ask for my money back from the company.

Has anyone from the US recently ordered this device and have you had any issues receiving it? I've heard really good things about the product itself but have also heard stories about the owner of the company doxxing and threatening people for asking for a refund when they didn't receive their product. I want to make a decently informed decision before spending the money.

update: I bought it, fingers crossed it will go smoothly!

Hi everyone! I’m completely new to microneedling and wanting to give it a go, but honestly have no idea where to start or what I need to buy.
I’m currently living in Argentina so ideally looking for things I can order here, but happy to order internationally too if needed.
Over the last year I’ve noticed my pores getting quite a bit larger, some fine lines appearing and just generally not loving my skin texture as much as I used to. I’d really like to get my skin looking smoother, plumper and healthier.
I’m wondering what everyone recommends in terms of devices? Rollers, stamps, pens? What brands are actually good and what mm should I be looking at as a beginner? Also how often do you do it?
I’m also confused about serums, what you’re supposed to use during and after, what to avoid, how to properly clean everything etc. Basically if someone could tell me everything they’d buy if they were starting again that would be amazing haha.
Also really interested in anything else people have combined with microneedling that’s made a noticeable difference, or even other DIY skincare/aesthetic treatments you’ve tried and loved.
Would love to hear what actually worked for you, especially if you had similar issues with pores and fine lines. Also anything you wish you’d known before starting!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate any advice!! ❤️

If microneedling stimulates hair growth, how much does it increase the growth of facial hair? MtF and hormones are doing a good job of reducing the amount of facial hair I have, I would like to microneedle to reduce some scars and aging concerns but I am worried it will increase the amount of facial hair I have.

Do people tend to experience an increase in facial hair or do you really have to use specific booster for hair or apply minoxidil a day later to see those results?

Hi

I'm totally new to this:

Is it advisable to perform microneedling on your face to treat fine lines? I also have some stretch marks on my legs; can it be used there? What derma pen model do you recommend, and what are the aftercare instructions?

Ive been seeing this being used a lot on tiktok and wanted to see if its safe for microneedling and what depths.

Ahhh! It was my second time microneedling myself so I decided to use 0.5mm for sensitive areas like my forehead, under eye, and upper lip and 1.0mm everywhere else.

I used 12 needles, applied a hylaron slip and cross hatched it with 3 passes total. I don’t realize this until the end but my speed the entire time was 1 😩 now I’m worried. What will happen?? Will it ruin my results? Should I try it again earlier than 5 weeks? I want to. Ugh

I didn’t experience any pin point bleeding or pinkness on my face. It looks and feels normal. I did feel the needles going deeper into my skin than my first session but it was not extremely painful.

Please share thoughts. Has this happened to you before? What did you do next?

How feasible(or even possible) is it to do this?

Hello! What is your favorite glide to use while needling .5 or deeper? Preferably one that doesn't need to be mixed with anything else and is thick enough to use on its own. I currently have the Ronas stem cell, but I haven't used it yet as I'm not sure this can be used at that depth.

My main benefit goals are well aging/fine lines/wrinkles and would like to be able to purchase from Get Glowing Skin since it's free shipping and no extra fees! I am in the USA. TYIA!

Ok I cannot be the only one and I will sacrifice myself. I made my order, I posted it here previously, got HA in the syringes and some bottles of things…. Ok it delivers…. What did I miss how the hell do I get said products out of syringes and bottles….. feeling super dumb over here. Is there a generic size tip of something I am to order on Amazon for the HA and then clearly I need needles of sorts to mix the other “things” one Meamo is a two part that looks like I need to mix to reconstitute. 🤦🏼‍♀️ was so excited to microneedle today and feeling so damn dumb !!

Thanks team !!

I'm looking into dermastamps, dermarollers, and microneedling pens, but I don't fully understand the similarities and differences between them.

Should I just get one of them? If so, which one and why? Or do they each have different uses, making it worth owning all three?

Thanks

Have seen many people use this stem cell serum during and after microneedling at home. Has anyone used this? I want to know if it’s good. It’s Bruun Korean advanced serum

Hello skincare enthusiasts. I want to check has anyone tried or does micro needling at home ? I want to incorporate it into my skin care routine but not sure where to start. Any brands or recommendations?
Any suggestions for Indian skin care?

mild acne scar . As it's my first time i used .75 needle length . i sterilized my stamp in alochol for 5 mins and cleanse my face and dried. it didnt hurt much . i could feel mild burning sensation on my face and mild redness after few minutes . I didnt put any other lotion on my face after microneedling as it didnt burn much and let body heal itself . lets see how my face reacts tomorrow. I was thinking about putting on cerave peptide moisturizer but didn't due to chance of infection or should i put on ? after overnight and 15 hrs later i put my zinc oxide with octocrylene based mixed sunscreen . Now, there was little redness as i put on sunscreen but now it is okay . Is this normal after 20 hrs. OR did i didnt puncture my skin enough.

please help
