I've done almost every single looksmax for skin, AMA

its not that visible here but in some lightning it is

It’s not a major flaw but that line will always be there to an extent because there is a retaining ligament there. You can try to reduce it with pure PN (no HA) 2% (or higher) skin booster injections by doing mesotherapy with it (check r/diyaesthetics it’s a solid place to start). You can soften the entire tear trough with it which could benefit you slightly and it will thicken the skin under ur eyes with enough sessions. I’ve done this myself and got a pretty nice result

Only other ways are with an implant or makeup or actual filler. Maybe you can try GHK Cu injections but it’s more of a bone and fat issue than anything else

I mean i know its not a major flaw but its noticed by me and thats enough, idk id like to try it but idk how hard it is to do it i aint tryingn to pop a vein tbh. Ty for the advice tho, any other methods? The tear trough doesnt bother me tbat much, what bothers me is that line

tbh yeah u might hit something its not very likely but its still possible if you are inexperienced with injecting. but on the edge that you are pointing to there is no risk its only when you start approaching the nose where u get near the vein.

but there isn't really any other method. you can use HA topically to plump the skin, but otherwise no those are the only methods i know of.

I mean i already use ha topically on my face overall, but i dont see any huge effects, yea im unexperienced with injecting thats why im kinda scared but the thing is that i d do it if i could just be sure that i wont hit anything that could hurt

there are veins all over your face but the thing is they are 4-5 mm beneath the surface and the intradermal injection you need to do is 1-2 mm below the surface, so there is little risk if you use a 4 mm 30-32 g needle and enter the skin at a 15-20 degree angle. also even if you do hit a vein or some blood vessel, you would know because you would feel a pinch beneath your skin. you can also watch videos on youtube to get a sense of how it looks like to get skin booster injections

 

[iwantuinsideme]

i've read bits of this - 90% of this is total horsesh1te, and i've done prf, rf mn+ prf, botox, rejuran, juvelook, gouri, ulthera etc.

"pretty much. i've done PN injections too, the result is okay but if u inject it too deep u will be fucked for two weeks until it gets absorbed. good for redness from acne and volume loss from scarring too" - ok gtfo - absolutely bullshit and also how dumb are u to go too deep anyway - but that's not true

i would never do prf myself, i'm sceptical you did it in a dorm, some peopel do diy prf for sure, but it's an undertaking to draw your own blood etc.

and 20mg iso isn't going to help most guys. if you've got acne you need a cummulative dose. for most people 20mg is going to just be annoying, not even with sides, you'll get little out of it as a heavier male and actually most people break out for months by way of purging - the purge is going to be less severe and longer for most at 20.

20 eod protocols have been done in a study vs 0.05% tret without significant difference. iso just isn't a long term skin benefit drug unless you really need it to deal with sides of test. i'm a huge fan of isotretinoin as well.

tt for this too, i feel like the line is more superficial than it is deep, like its not a structural shot i guess? i see on the top of my skin like the skin itself some pores that seem bigger or something, idk what they are, and they seem superficia, not deep, but i could go to cosmetician to get it checked and to see what treatment is recommended

potentially but the line is from the retaining ligament along the tear trough. may seem more superficial because it is a collagen issue that makes the line come through. i mean the cosmetician would probably recommend MN or laser but it depends if they are trying to jew you or not. if they arent trying to jew you, they will simply say filler is the only option and that you should wait

could be, the thing is what caused it or the reason i noticed it is i believe is because i ve lost weight fast like water weight after a lean bulk without even trying to go in a big deficit, the deficit was like 500kcals, idk i really just hopenitll gonbsck to normal, ill continue using tret and will think to go to a cosmetician, but i ll certainly not get filler, i want something long lasting

how much have you spent on the skin looksmaxes (not counting the pills and creams)?

Not counting pills and creams not that much actually. Maybe like $500 with most of that coming from skin boosters and GH

 

[we all ascending]

good plan, but keep microdose to 20 mg max daily if on cycle (GH, test, wtv). i'm doing some GH and i only use 10 mg a day which keeps it oily enough such that it's not dry. i would say generally 5-10 mg a day is ideal in any case

retinoids: only taz and more advanced ones are good, but you need to use them daily and it's harder to deal with irritation for some people. they also take longer to build up in your skin and start having effects + the purge is worse

hi, if I drink 10mg of isotretinoin, what will be the side effects and how long to drink it, I have skin imperfections but not acne, maybe stage 1 acne will this dose close the growth zones?

 

[parannoul]

nah don't get it from indiamart. it's more expensive than the source i use and probably not legit. PM me for a legit non indian (first world) source. i mean you can pair them taz and vit c but it's best to just pick one. if you have bad texture, use taz (unless you are using accutane). if your main concern is hyperpigmention, use vit c.


i actually did already, feel free to check it out here: https://looksmax.org/threads/full-d...-important-notes-from-my-own-journey.1738853/

Ideal microneedling depth for blemishes, rough texture?
What is the utility of .5 mm depth?
How long to wait between 0.5, 1.0 sessions?
Have you tried the derminator 2?
Have you used GHK-Cu post microneedling (for enhanced absorption)?

Raw primal and baby animal blood facials?

 

[gamma13]

Agree the only topical worth using are retinoids beyond that pretty much every other shit seems cope
isotret is god tier solution tho

i asked the ghk-cu question cuz i have heard mixed opinions about topical vs injectable efficacy as people say when you inject ghk-cu most of it just goes out of your body as waste whereas topically you are atleast able to reap some benefits on the contrary some say injectable is indeed better idk im legit confused on this

injectable at 15mg/day saved me

Any advice for a few boxscars that don't go away with microneedling?
