Use a sharp chef's knife and start poking at your skin.

I used a 36 pin cartridge is that good too lt is 16-24 better? also is the speed of the pen important? Should i circle over the area or do it slowly? @bruhtoobrutal

36 is fine for a beginner
16-24 just a little more extreme usually paired up with a high mm for deeper layers (scaring etc)

also is the speed of the pen important?

To a point yes, I usually do level 3-4

Should i circle over the area or do it slowly?

both work fine

How good's the pen?
I go to a clinic where they have done 1.75mm, 2.25mm and at my next appointment, 2.5mm.
I want to do the same type of depths at home, so I am not spending thousands for microneedling in the future, but need to find a source for topical lidocaine stronger than 5%, which is basically all I can find (there are not even prescriptions for higher here).
So what depths do you do, with what strength of cream?

And explain the relevance of the vials + serum? I haven't used them for my previous treatments with my clinician AFAIK.

I have the same derma pen I want to microneedle my skin too today, how did it workout for you?

Works like a regular dermapen, Though skin pens are usually better than dr pens.

but need to find a source for topical lidocaine stronger than 5%, which is basically all I can find (there are not even prescriptions for higher here).

I usually just use some 5% Lidocaine and I find that enough for me. Pretty sure okdermo.com sells some 10% Lidocaine. I usually do 1.75mm might bump up to 2mm next session.

And explain the relevance of the vials + serum? I haven't used them for my previous treatments with my clinician AFAIK.

Not necessary but there’s many different vials/serums you can get for pretty cheap for a session. It’s usually a combination of different ingredients. There’s also things like stem cells, exosomes, PDRN/PN, GF, peptide mixes. You can apply them before or after microneedling. But basically more collagen, hydration, elasticity and plump.

Good go ahead

Do I need this if I’m gonna use 1mm? Or is hyaluronic acid enough?

1mm prob won’t hurt bad enough to the point you need to numb

Do you microneedle often? How are the results so far?

u ever microneedled while on accutane ? Im micro dosing rn and heard alot of good things ab microneedling so i wanna try it

 

[bruhtoobrutal]

Do you microneedle often? How are the results so far?

You can only really microneedle frequently if you’re doing lower depths for pure collegan reasons. If your going higher in the deeper layers like for scarring it’s usually every 1.5-2 months.

Drop the accutane (if you don’t have acne) and do Taz + Microneedling.

The pen is pretty good or did you mean toobrutal? I I’ve only ever used 0.25mm depth + Hyaluronic acid serum afterwards

Do it monthly. And I recommend using a numbing ointment

hyaluronic acid enough

It might be good. And it depends on its molecular weight

Ye I have the exactly same pen, have it since a year but only been using it on eyebrows w 0.5mm. Decent results, but I want to use it on my entire skin today too.
