I started with a dermaroller at home 0.5 and I didn’t notice a big difference and also got an infection because I imagine I hadn’t cleaned and sterilised properly. Now I have a Dr. Pen at home device and it’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done for my skin. The Dr Pen has a dial so you can adjust the depth and super easy to use. My skin is tighter, younger, plumper and healthy looking. I am 53 and a skincare junky these days. This is definitely worth it. Too expensive in salon when it’s so easy to do yourself.

I’ve had pretty much every facial going, and I can say with certainty that the microneedling has had the best effect long term on my skin. It got rid of my acne scars, hyperpigmentation, reduced pore size and fine lines around my eyes. I had to have multiple treatments but I’m going to keep this one up forever EDIT: It’s important to note other factors (apologies, I should have before). 1. Tretinoin aka professional grade retinol (I get mine through NurX) - you likely need to be keeping up the results of your treatments at home with a strong retinol. 2. Sunscreen - don’t ever skip it even on indoor days or grey days, apply repeatedly throughout the day and cover your hands and neck. 3. Microneedling levels: I only do professional through a Med Spa. I had 4 sessions over 16 weeks, then have a top up every 6 months. Additionally I get one clear and brilliant + one chemical peel a year. I’m aware this is ridiculous cost wise, the only thing I can say is to look at bundle packages, most places offer them. 4. Don’t waste money on hydrafacial, microdermabrasion or dermaplanning. While these will give you a nice glow, it’ll last a week at most. 5. All of this is crap if you’re eating shit, not moving your body and not focusing on reducing stress. I’m aware that unfortunately some of these are luxury’s now, but if you can, work out your internal health. Get blood work, get your sleep in order and treat yourself like you deserve. If you can’t improve all of those areas, just try one - cleaning up my diet greatly improved my skin 👍 good luck ❤️

In the 80's my grandmother was a dermatologist . When I was 10 she taught me the importance of skin care. Her advise stuck with me & I've always taken great care of my face. Thank U grandma! 😊
@The.ModernMan
I liveeee for microneedling. Glad to see derms not immediately shut it down. I always suggest people get it done first if they are nervous, so they can get a feel for it and see a professional do it.
@maxmustermann4772
I started microneedling at home at 27. Now, about 5 years later, I'm almost 32 and my skin still doesn't have a single wrinkle. I use sunscreen and retinol, too. Keep your skincare simple and be consistent. That's enough.
@emilyhudak9442
A video on microneedling vs microdermabrasion vs laser treatments for large pores or even chemical peels would be awesome! Trying to figure out what procedure I should do :)
@tinaibarra7956
I did microneedlig with prp for my acne scars and with one session my scars are barely visible. It really made a difference in my skin and my confidence. Can't wait to get another treatment in.
@gumdokim
Just got micro-needling done at a skin institute, it really was worth it. They numb your face first and it didn't hurt too bad. The woman, who was also a student explained to me step by step what she was going to do. The redness went away and it felt to me like a mild sunburn. I will be going back to this school and getting a facial and chemical peel along with a neck lift in a couple of months. I like to also in a couple of years, get another microneedling done again.
@simplifykelsey
I’ve had 3 microneedling sessions for mild ice pick scarring and my skin looks horrendous for about 3 weeks after each treatment. By week 5 though my skin looks amazing! I recommend it 🙂
@TumblinWeeds
What I can say is MAKE SURE you COMPLETELY remove any numbing cream. I did microneedling no problem until I decided to just wipe off the numbing cream one time, had a HUGE reaction, red face for days, didn’t recover for months. Even now I think my skin is worse than before the treatment
@makahragayle8973
Swear you guys are reading my mind, because I just finished my first microneedling treatment. My tech was excellent and even though I’ll need more sessions to reach my goals, I already see a slight improvement in skin smoothness.
@jynn09
Thanks for discussing micro-needling. I haven’t tried it yet because I didn’t want to damage my skin. I have a roller that hasn’t been used because I always have this lingering thought of damaging my already aging skin 😊 I definitely like the stamping method with disposable tips. I am going to try this out. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 Also, thanks to Dr. Shah for letting us know that optimistic people are late 😂 I can’t wait to inform my husband that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me always being late; I mean, I am just an optimist!!! As always, you two are greatly appreciated for sharing your knowledge of skincare. I love this channel.
@whitneysommer2351
I’ve been incorporated dermarolling into my anti-aging skin care routine and I think it’s fabulous. When done correctly, you can visibly see a difference in your skin. I’m 41 and people always tell me I look like I’m in my early 30s. For reference, I use a 0.3mm needle, a device that was approved by Health Canada and I only roll 1-2 a week.
@BeautyByAnneMarie
I love microneedling and have been doing it at home for the last 14 years. I have the manual rollers, stamps and the infusion stamps plus the electric dermapen. I find the electric one hurts less than manual devices, but I like all the devices and have seen benefits from them all (I am very careful to sanitize everything and have never had issues). I stopped microneedling last year for at least 9 months (just from laziness) and noticed my skin did not look as good so started it back up. Loved hearing your professional thoughts on it and always enjoy your videos!
@stoneHeHenge
12:13 No - dermapens are dirt cheap these days, everyone can buy one for like half the price of a proper visit to the dermatologist. It would be neat if you could cover microneediling at home on yourself.
@deborahanderson7133
You guys are awesome! I’ve been searching for some clear and cohesive advice about micro-needling for a few months now and this video was great!
@jessicalynnwaite822
I own a small medispa and this is my most requested service. The results don't lie!!
@carolpowell2199
Microneedling 7 yrs. Dermarolling with derma roller at first and now Dr Pen. It works, I do it once a month and follow with my serums. My skin is so thick now I feel no pain. It is a routine in my beauty arsenal.
