I dont think it should be a nightmare..

I had the same experience with RF microneedling. I had three sessions. I didn't find the procedure too painful, neither the days after. But then all the super dry spots and acne. I've been on oral isotretinoin a while ago so getting the acne again was horrible. Also my skin now reacts way worse to even salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I had to put Elidel on my face to get it to calm down from all the dryness and reactions. I don't think I'd do it again. Still trying to get the acne under control again.

Less is more. Do it gently but regularly will come the great result.

​@@taysonkhaHello, Tayson. Thank you for warning people about what can happen with isotretinoin, especially if you get a micro needling session. I've heard that even having waxing sessions while using that medication can cause violent,painful reactions. Even more shocking was to find out that acne can come back after using isotretinoin !! Didn't know that could happen.

I have rosacea and the first time I did it I had a horrible reaction. At the time my face was inflamed pretty bad and rosacea was active. I got it done a week ago and decided to give it a go because my rosacea has been less inflamed lately. My skin was red a little after procedure and the next day woke up like nothing happened

But you can’t just do one treatment- I’d say one a month for 6 months will show great improvement

It solves acne? I thought it only solves texture and you have to get acne way under control using some other means first.

Did it continue even after that day!?

That’s great ❤❤

I can’t do lasers or peels either. Could you advise if you have acne scars how many microneedling did you need to see results on the scars? ❤

@@myglamour121 Sure. I have discoid lupus which means I have scarring across my entire face. Discoid lesions are very visible and I’ve had the scars since I was 5 (now almost 40). After 4 sessions of microneedling my doctor and I saw visible improvement. We did evo pen +trx acid over the discoid lesions. On the rest of the face just normal microneedling. There was an improvement in both texture of my skin overall and a blurring/fading effect where the outline of the scar meets my skin. I do not have any significant acne scars but because my skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, we opted to avoid any device that produces heat. Risk is not worth it, per my doctor. My advice would be to visit a derm, I don’t do med spas, and talk through your goals and they will come up with a plan with you. Best money I ever spent.

Can you ols suggest one sessions in one month is good enough ?

@@tasminazaman3674 No, honestly, it’s unlikely that you would have noticeable results after only 1 session. I think the minimum would be 3 but it depends on your skin goals and what is being treated.

Why can't do chem peels?

is it true that microneedling diminishes facial fat?

RF microneedling? Possibly. Regular microneedling? No.

​​@@Ashley-km4qi i mean why would it?

​@@opportunity3278the heat from the rf destroys fat cells. Please skip rf

​@@Ana-ls8rh RF microneedling? Yes.

Hey.. I just got my microneedling with prp done about a week ago.. And a week later now, my skin has red to purple patches and it just won't go away. Is this normal and part of the process? I've tried everything and my whole face looks bruised now..

@@shreya_9628 I’d contact your dr who performed this service.

Could it be the effect of direct sunlight ? Did you use high level sun screen and avoid direct sunlight after the needling ?

So it doesn't work for a long term?

@@notperfectbutstillbeautifu2077it does, you just need to be consistent with your routine and habits if you want your skin to stay that way

​@@notperfectbutstillbeautifu2077if you are lazy or poor, yes

​@@notperfectbutstillbeautifu2077if you are lazy or poor, yes

How often did you repeat the treatment?

No, no, no. Should be at least every 3 or 4 months. 3 weeks is way too soon.

@@sambee4927it’s actually once every 4-6 weeks. One microneedling session produces collagen for up to 6 months.

@@sambee4927 I have been doing it every 4 weeks for 3 years with amazing results.

Lol the cost of definitely painful!! Lol. I want to get it done at this really good dermatologist, but they don't take payment plans 😕 which is upsetting,, who has 3- 10k to dish out? It's not like I wouldn't be held accountable, if I didn't pay my credit, & LIFE, would go to shit! 😅 so idk why they don't ALL make that an option for us lower/ middle class people.

Schedule your treatment in Europe. Here in Barcelona (Spain), a Fraxel laser session coupled with IPL costs between 250 and 350€. RF and microneedling about the same. I do not get why laser treatments are so damn expensive in the US.

Exactly I’m in Qatar and not even paying close to what you spent. $800 for 5 session of Hollywood laser peels and another $800 for micro needling 3 sessions and another treatment which is my next appointment.

It’s just inflamed it goes away with in two days no make up for at least three days. You’ll be fine.. After that your skin looks beautiful!

I just did it and the redness only lasted like 4 hours for me

If it feels like it's burning, you want to look into using the correct aftercare products.

Did you fresh aloe vera?!

Nope. There’s some good ones on Amazon. But I did see the actual Aloe plant in My local Publix. I was tempted, but I have good results with just plain ole aloe Vera gel.

did you have to stay out of the sun more than normal to be able to heal? i have sensative skin too that burns easily because i am very pale so i have to stay out of the sun a lot already.

⁠​⁠@@alexandrastrauser5538yes. I stayed out of the sun as much as possible and always wore mineral spf. I also tried to wear wide brim hats or use umbrellas. Since I paid so much for the treatment, I really wanted to protect my skin while it was healing

I've been told 6

39 isn't old at all

@@formgebenI agree, 39 years old, is definitely not old, wait till she’s in her mid 60’s and then come back and tell us what we should be doing, my skin has never looked so good for my age and I don’t need to use a filter on my face to make it look flawless…🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😊

she doesn't use filters. stop hating.@@-nellie-m3711

I am 34 and look 10 years older than her...😢

The secret is: filter

Did it hurt and you’ve still have scars!😔

@@shanikkas it feels like a sunburn if that makes sense. Because they numb you face first you wont feel the needles going in the skin, but you will feel heat and pressure. Its not ultra painful though, if you are extremely sensitive to pain then maybe dont do this. The pain lasts for about a day (again, it just feels like a sunburn) and after that it feels normal. I mean, i might have to keep doing more microneedling sessions for years before it gets rid of my scars completely, but I find that Retinol does a better job at that. Its definitely thickened my skin and collagen, I look 24 even though im 28. I dont use botox anymore and I have barely any wrinkles - whereas before I used to have deep wrinkles in my forehead.

It drastically helped mine. Perhaps the frequency was too high in your case

I go to a medi spa and the depth that they use is intense. Nothing like any esthetician has done for me and I’m assuming much deeper setting than a home device. I am thinking maybe the 20 you have done just aren’t penetrating deep enough. ?

@@naynay3174 please be careful. If you go too deep it erodes facial fat and ages you . Plus skin is thinner under eyes etc so even less is recommended in such spots

Hello, what was the depth you used with your Pen ?

@@sreddy914 good for you. I do believe it can help if someone has textured scars, I have atrophic scars, needling it will not make the tissue grow back

hey did u done it for ur scars nd if yes did u see any improvement I'm 18 nd I just had some new scars I'm thinking to get an CO2 done should I go for it or look for another treatments I had some rolling scars !

​@@Dyinginpain877did you get your answer pls tell me too...what i should be doing?

@@ShifaQureshi-yn3qh tbh I asked alot of people I didn't land on any solution I was keep getting scars but from past month I stoped everything cus my skin gets relly sensitive by the product I was using I was even on Accutane for my acnes so I just decide to give break to my skin now for a past month I just have been using moisturizer ,gentle cleanser,nd sunscreen when I go out nd trust me for a past one month I didn't get new scars but obv my old ones keep getting deeper but I didn't having no new scars nd as I'm still in my teens I'm not going for CO2 I think it's lil to aggresive but yeh after this month I'm going to have micro needling for my scar cus I think that will work for me as my skin will produce Collagen more !let's see how it will turn out :) nd yeh ik it's sooo hard to see scars on face but just treat them as soon as possible cus in early stage they are not as hard to get rid off so I'm going to try micro! I will tell u here if I see any difference ! I wrote too much ig sorry :)

@@ShifaQureshi-yn3qh I didn't sadly! but from past one month I stopped everything I decided to give a break to my skin I just use moisturizer, cleanser,nd sunscreen nd for a past month I have seen that my new scars are not coming! obv the old ones still there but yeh I'm happy i kinda control them nd yeh I'm going for micro needling next month for a month I was serching something good for my scar but I didn't get any! so yeh I'm starting my Micro needling journey from next month as I'm just 18 I think micro will work for me nd I hope I get ride of my scars completely cus they ruining my life!!! but yeh I keep u informe bro:) nd yeh anything you wanna know u can ask to me! nd yeh just try to give a break to ur skin nd see if u see any difference

I have super sensitive skin and switched from waxing to threading. It's so much easier on my skin. I mainly get eyebrows done, but occasionally have them take off my peach fuzz and baby mustache. 😂

What do you mean? Is it bad?

I think she probably means after a series of treatments. You’re unlikely to see results from a single treatment alone.
