Im currently on low dose accutane (p much all my acne is gone just a tiny bit) and am going to start microneedling soon, all the acne is in one spot so its easy to avoid when microneedling and obviously I am doing this myself because its like 140$ for a full microneedling setup that lasts you until your scars are faded compared to thousands of dollars for appointments.

I am considering supplementing this plan I have for the rejuvenation of my skin and removal of my acne scars with GHK-cu

Also, what are the best serums for this process? I've watched about 2 hours of videos on microneedling but still am unsure what the best serums to use are when I penetrate the skin?

Ghk-cu seems like a scam with the way tiktok creators and everyone is advertising it (peptides as a whole tbh but I am currently on cjc/ipa) but the data i've seen shows that it can basically double overall recovery time of your skin which seems appealing, and obv I mean injectable/subq ghkcu not topical cope

just pin 2mg ghk yourself and see yourself

and topical isn’t cope I used it just seriously mid but at the same time my skin wasn’t bad at all so maybe you’d benefit more from it
Just mix 2 grams cosmetic ghk into some hyaluronic acid

i feel like a general rule is that subq is almost always better than topical, im not afraid of needles anyways so ill probably just pin it

did you also inject or did u js use topical?

i dont think being afraid of needles is the main issue its for the future's side effects

its aminos your body naturally produces.. its copper.. im more worried about my money being wasted then the side effects

PN, PDRN like some Rejurans, Curenex Rejuvenating vials.

i ordered my shit 2 days ago itll come soon, idk if im gonna get more BAC water bc i just have enough for all the cjc and ipa im gonna use, (5 2ml vials) so im gonna use the 1ml left in the vial i just used to reconstitute 4 days ago, itll be painful as fuck and probably sting bc the peptide to bac water ratio is shit

yes ik theres better waters to use i forget the name of it or whatever but im wasting 1ml bac water every month by not using it so why not make most of my money
 
mirin PDRN i used it and it made my microneedling experience very good
i’ve only used the Curenex Vials with about 1.5mm of a derma pen.

me too but i did 2mm on cheek first attempt, ik if u do it wrong that shit can damage ur skin but it just bled a lot and was hella inflamed, it looks normal now though no drag lines or anything

also off topic but i love vials idk why its so satisfying to like draw shit with needles, they just look so perfect like the shape and size of the vial and how u have to clean it w alcohol before you puncture it i feel like a scientist

Go lower I find 1.5mm to be perfect. Also do you use numbing cream. Doesn’t even hurt for me that much (no lidocaine)

Proffesional asf, I use serums that are sliding before I apply the vial. It makes sliding and dragging around the pen much easier.

yes i use numbing cream, also do you still bleed at 1.5? I figured 2 would be better bc the deeper you go the more collagen you stimulate? i dont know how true this is but some of my scars are icepick so minus well do 2mm to go deeper

even 0.5 is enough for collagen levels.
Deeper MM are for scarring not collagen. If 2mm is working for your scars keep going. I recommend you go lower on other areas though.

yes i did 1mm on my chin and .5 on my forehead, none of them have any acne scars besides some PIH (which correct me if im wrong if taken care of badly can turn into textured scars) on chin but i wanted to do my whole face because why not and some people told me ur supposed to

Been pinning 1.5mg for just over a week and my PIE has already significantly faded and my skin is visibly more lustrous. Months of tretinoin didn't do jackshit. Looking to switch to tazarotene soon.
