01. INTRODUCTION
Around 2 years apart. I was pretty much 19 in my after pictures, just a couple of days away from my birthday.
To put it into perspective, like everyone else in here, I discovered LM in 2023 through the Dillon Latham scandal. Up until March of 2026, I didn't ever bother to check this site.
I recently made an account purely to rot and nothing else. If I'm being honest, there's hardly any good information here. Most of my research was sourced directly off PubMed and other medical research institutes, so the things i say moving forward might be a little odd.
Thread song:
02. SKIN REFINEMENT
To begin, I did not use any skincare products at first.
Shitty coloring... big gigantic nose... Inflamed...
You can't see it, but the filter is also hiding a ridiculous amount of acne and blackheads all over my face. I looked ridiculous.
Then I started off using a simple cleanser and moisturizer, icing my face beforehand.
Did not work... I still had a lot of acne, acne scars, inflammation, and all that type of stuff. I didn't get the "glow" that people were talking about regardless of me using expensive products. Even though I was using these products, keeping VERY low bodyfat, and maintaining a strict diet, I still looked pretty boneless, red, and funky.
Then I hopped on tretinoin 0.025%—good gains, but after a while, I stopped seeing change. Then I upped it to 0.05%, then 0.1%. It was going well, HOWEVER, I was still not getting the results I expected.
Then I discovered isotretinoin, and took 10mg every other day for a couple of months. Accumulating around 2g–4g, I was satisfied to an extent after that. Of course, during my usage of both retinoids, I was still cleansing and moisturizing. At 10mg, I didn't really see any side effects, but gains were very slow.
Then I stopped using isotretinoin and went back to tretinoin, microneedling once per week along with it and using a simple moisturizer + cleanser.
This was the height of my topical skincare, but I eventually figured out I had to take care of other things. I went ahead to a dermatologist and got a Hydrafacial + Laser Toning combo along with CO2 fractional laser to get rid of my deep acne scars.
Then, I went ahead and did a DIY PRP. This was the turning point for me—it made my skin extremely tight, made my cheeks even hollower due to the skin retraction, and greatly improved my overall coloring. It was awesome.

AUTOLOGOUS PRP PROTOCOL (DIY METHODOLOGY)
Cheap, effective—HOWEVER, you need to be consistent with it and it's a pain in the ass to go through.
Required Equipment:
- 10ml ACD-A Tube (~$1.75)
- Butterfly Needle
- 10ml Syringe
- 2x 1ml Insulin Syringes
- Alcohol Swabs + Lidocaine
Execution Steps:
- Extract a sample of blood using your butterfly needle.
- Squirt the blood directly into your ACD-A tube.
- Visit your local research lab (with your needles) and ask the technician for a centrifuge spin at 3000 RPM for 10 minutes (or just buy a centrifuge of your own if you'd like to do this process again in the future). Take the vial near a bathroom WITHOUT SHAKING IT FOR FUCKS SAKE and use a blunt needle to extract the plasma right then and there.
- Go home, squirt the plasma into your 1ml insulin needles, go in at a 15–30 degree angle under the skin, and pop one every 1–2cm.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
DERMAPEN PROTOCOL
I did the PRP a couple of times with a few weeks in between each session. Then I got a dermapen, and microneedled with it on 4 different depth measurements: 0.15mm, 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 2.5mm, infused with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Matrixyl 3000, Ceramides, Salicylic Acid, and Niacinamide.
I was extremely red, swollen, and bloody. It hurt like hell.
I used a skin barrier repair cream every couple of hours for around a week. I did not go outside in the sun at all while it took time to heal.
The results speak for themselves. Baby butt skin. Glowing. No more failos.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
MELANIN SUPPRESSION (DEPIGMENTATION ROUTINE)
HOWEVER... I did not like that I looked like a stereotypical Arab.
ENTER: KOJIC ACID AND 4% HYDROQUINONE
Protocol: Every night, lather Kojic Acid soap (Kojie San specifically) all over the body, let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse, then apply the 4% Hydroquinone and go to sleep. You should NOT apply any other products after applying the hydroquinone.
3 months later...
RAHHH!!!!!! Pale as a ghost—shifted from Fitzpatrick IV to Fitzpatrick II in a couple of months.

03. FACIAL HAIR AND LASHES
As shown previously in the other images, my eyebrows were pretty fucking thin. Not to mention, my eyelashes were also very thin/practically non-existent.
This made my negative canthal tilt (NCT) even MORE visible. For the longest time, my eye area was my biggest failo.
Like everyone else on this forum, I started off with copemary oil and castor oil—both of which did absolutely fucking NOTHING. Straight nothingburger.
Then I switched to topical minoxidil. Just like the rosemary and castor oil, I didn't get any results. I'm not sure what it was—maybe I was applying it wrong—but I never seemed to respond to topicals.
Eventually, I started consuming minoxidil orally, which DID give me results, but I had to hop off due to unforeseen circumstances. This resulted in my progress being undone completely.
Then I started researching... and eventually, I came to the conclusion that I was gonna make my OWN active peptide formula.
I've made a dedicated thread on this already, so I'll drop the exact formulation parameters here.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
THE FORMULA CREATION (100g BATCH)
| Phase | Ingredient | Function | Percentage (% w/w) | Weight (100g) |
| Phase A | Distilled Water | Solvent / Base | 80.0% | 80.0 g |
| Propanediol / Glycerin | Humectant / Solvent | 3.0% | 3.0 g | |
| Ethoxydiglycol (or DMI) | Penetration enhancer | 2.0% | 2.0 g | |
| Phase B | Pure Biotin Powder | Hair nutrient / Active | 0.1% | 0.1 g |
| Redensyl (Givaudan) | Active (Stem cell stimulus) | 3.0% | 3.0 g | |
| Capixyl (Lucas Meyer) | Active (DHT modulation) | 3.0% | 3.0 g | |
| Procapil (Sederma) | Active (Anchoring & flow) | 3.0% | 3.0 g | |
| Phase C | Xanthan Gum (Soft Grade) | Thickener / Viscosity | 0.4% | 0.4 g |
| Phase D | Liquid Germall Plus | Broad-spectrum Preservative | 0.5% | 0.5 g |
Required Equipment:
- Precision Digital Scale: Resolves to 0.01g—essential for weighing small active amounts (Biotin/Gums).
- 2x Glass Beakers: Clean and sanitized with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol.
- Mixing Tools: Mini hand mixer or glass stir rod.
- pH Testing: pH indicator strips or digital pH meter.
- pH Adjustment Solution: Citric Acid solution (10% dissolved in water) to lower pH if required.
Compounding Protocol:
- Sanitize all equipment thoroughly with alcohol and let everything dry completely.
- In the main beaker, combine distilled water, propanediol/glycerin, and ethoxydiglycol. Stir until fully homogeneous.
- Add the biotin and stir until fully dissolved. Once clear, stir in Redensyl, Capixyl, and Procapil.
- Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum while high-shear mixing for 2–3 minutes, then allow the gel to hydrate for 15 minutes.
- Measure pH levels. If higher than 5.5, add a single drop of citric acid solution and mix until stabilized around ~5.0 pH.
- Bottle in a dark glass dropper bottle or UV-protected peptide vial.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I applied this formulation morning and night, and after a couple of months...
BOOM!!! INTENSE hair growth. Dense, dark. I still use the formula to this day, so I'm not sure if the hair will shed off or stay permanent without maintenance
but it has been by far the most effective protocol I've ever tested. Maybe I'm a hyper-responder to these specific complexes, I'm unsure.APPLICATION: You can apply this anywhere target follicular density is required—hairline, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, etc.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
04. BONE & SOFT TISSUE (FACIAL STRUCTURE)
As you can see, I was pretty boneless despite being very skinny...
Pretty subhuman looking here icl, doesn't even look like me
Despite getting very proper nutrition when I was a little fella, genetics defeat all anyways.
Anyhow, I discovered mewing/hard mewing through K Shami in 2023. Was doing that shit literally every single MINUTE—I legit killed my social life cause I refused to talk and kept mewing. I looked retarded
.I was doing that for a while, unbeknownst to the fact that I have literally every single structural recession under the sun. Unfortunately, I did not magically fix all my recessions. I did not have a Salludon-level ascension; I was still just a recessed sub3 mutt.
Started chewing mastic gum to get a "mogger jawline"—did not end up happening. I just looked like a bloated chud due to having a malocclusion and an extremely boneless midface.
So I quit that, started heavy compound lifting and all that nonsense. Still pretty boneless despite being extremely ripped.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BONESMASHING
Then I went to researching—days after days, weeks after weeks, I finally got the courage to bonesmash.
I didn't know what routine I should follow; everyone was saying different stuff, with studies citing different sources and randomized clinical trials.
I started off with a hammer: twice a day, 5–10 minutes on each area, light-medium hits in the morning and sometimes, when my face was "recovered", 5–10 minutes on each area at night. Light hits across the zygos, chin, gonions, and brow ridge.
Did not see any progress for a while, so I switched to knuckles for 2–4 minutes on each region. Saw IMMENSE progress.
I don't have any other clear pictures to show the transition, but you can see where I'm coming from.
You can even see I developed a little antegonial notch. (I'm a little tan here because I was on vacation and wasn't applying the bleach).
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
INFRAORBITAL VOLUME RECONSTRUCTION
But I still had an issue. My infraorbitals were terrible—way worse than they are now.
I tried smashing them, but it did not work. Still pretty dark and recessed.
Then I figured, why not try and compensate with soft tissue? So I did PRP on my undereyes several times... Then I dermapenned, and after a looong, long while:
I finally made my undereyes more presentable. I was also applying hydroquinone and kojic acid on them here, so the pigmentation slightly faded away.
Prior to this, I tried just about everything: Volufiline, azelaic acid, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, retinol, Matrixyl 3000, rosiglitazone... nothing worked. Nothing was as effective. Direct injection was what showed a real result.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NASAL DECONSTRUCTION
But wait... I still had another issue: my gigantic hook nose.
There's no way I can put my entire nose reconstruction journey in here. I've already made a dedicated thread on this prior:
Obviously the angle plays a little part here; I still have a slight hook like presented in the picture where I'm tanned with a bonnet, but it's significantly decreased in size. It was genuinely huge.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
05. CURRENT ROUTINE
My current baseline stack looks like this:
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
DAILY PROTOCOL
- Topical Base: Cleanser ➔ Hyaluronic Acid Serum ➔ Moisturizer ➔ SPF 50+ Sunscreen.
- Bonesmashing (Every Other Day): Knuckle bonesmashing on Zygos, Chin, and Brow Ridge for 2–4 minutes per zone.
NIGHTLY PROTOCOL
- Step 1: Gentle Facial Cleanser.
- Step 2: Lather Kojic Acid Soap (Kojie San) all over face, let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse completely.
- Step 3: Apply Retinol.
PERIODIC INTERVENTIONS
- Weekly: Cleanse ➔ Microneedle ➔ Apply 0.05% Tretinoin.
- Monthly: Full-Face Autologous PRP Injections.
