only things you need for this is a hypodermic needle and an alcohol swab, I used a 25g needle, you'll want to use something around that because if the needle is too thin it'll bend.
some videos, watching these helps understand the motion that you'll be making with the needle.
anyway, so I have this old scar on my forehead that's not very visible, I don't really care about it either but I figured I'd use it as an example.
disinfect the area that you'll be inserting the needle into with the alcohol swab.
now comes the tricky part, when your needle is underneath you'll want to slide it back and forth underneath while tilting it sideways a little every time.
I just drew it because it was a pain in the ass to take videos while doing this, but this is basically the path you're taking while sliding it back and forth slowly, if it hurts a lot that means you're in the wrong layer, the subcutaneous layer doesn't actually feel that much pain.
do this a few times, both sides to make sure the skin is loose, the area should be plumped up with blood when you're done.
that's basically it, disinfect it again, it takes about two-three days for the swelling to go away for something small like this.
