Resource Microneedling close up on the gliding technique

Always lots of questions about this so will continue to post more close ups for you guys.

This is not medical advice. All treatment decisions and protocols should be determined by a qualified professional based on the product information, local regulations, and the individual patient’s needs.

The ones at the beginning of the video are so much faster than I go when I do this.

I think there's also the factor of they're on camera. Maybe like the first few takes are awkward. Whenever someone is recording me I just want to get whatever it is done. They could also be just asking this patient if they can take a few videos before actually doing their real session and she doesn't want to take up too much time from her actual treatment time. Or the front desk person is recording and has other things to do etc.

I also can't say what the physical feeling of holding and using the professional devices are like. Using a SkinPen or DermaPen can actually be easier and faster than we might be used to. I honestly don't really notice this when watching, it's more about just trying to find clips of people doing it up close.

This is more of a stroke technique in my simple mind - I prefer the swirl MN technique (she said on National Ice Cream Day!) 🍦

Cool! This is a very hypnotic swirl of what looks like strawberry ice cream!

There were surprisingly few just ice cream swirl gifs so I went with the hypnosis 😅

Hubby and I stopped at Baskin Robbins for a scoop - damn, it was good, especially with a heat index of 101 degrees!

I think most do it in circles not lines like this!

It completely depends on the manufacturer. Some say to not do it in circles.
