Is microneedling cope?

[GatoradeTRZ8]

I saw people on reddit buy a microneedling pen for like 150usd and do their own treatments. Would it help tightening up the skin and is it worth it?

(asking people who have tried it or know someone who has)

collagen production is triggered when its done, plus growth factors and hydration increase. and if youre using any topical products it can help with absorption. i dont know about the need of a $150 pen though im sure you can get the rollers for much cheaper and get a similar benefit.

no but you need to have a high quality machine, because shit like rollers will produce scarring, which is not the type of collagen you want, and will fuck you longterm
