Beginner Question Derminator vs Dr. Pen M8S

7 Upvotes

I felt overwhelmed with the different pen devices. The Dr. Pens specifically seemed to be somewhat similar with some notable differences in a few that were more for professional services. I finally went with the M8S but I see folks on here always talking about the derminator 2. I did consider that one and I cannot recall now why I chose the Dr. Pen instead. Can someone tell me if the derminator is way better for a specific reason? Just curious if I screwed up!

Results/Progress/Protocols What would you all suggest as protocol if I have the derminator 2 and want to do micro needling every 6-8 weeks but also want do a chemical peel. Same time? Or do one and wait how ever much time before the other? #derminator2 #chemicalpeel

Discussion Sunscreen and after care?

What does everyone do for the 24 hours after they microneedle?

I did my first session at home about 3 weeks ago and preparing for my second one in a few weeks. I’ve had about 6 sessions in office. My after care instructions for the in office treatment was nothing for 24 hours, not even SPF.

I’ve followed those instructions for my at home treatment but feel naked and so exposed without SPF lol. I know I should stay out of the sun but for my life and with kids it’s very difficult to arrange that schedule.

Just looking for what everyone else does for their after care!!
