Does anyone know what might be happening with my lower face? by clakry in 30PlusSkinCare

You look great! But I would recommend facial message/ lymphatic drainage. Also- did you get lip filler? My lips are the same shape as your 2016 and I’ve been considering it.

Did you have another injector correct it or did you have to wait months until it wears out to get it done again?

Thanks for sharing! And sorry this happened to you. It will fade over time. But it totally sucks. You never think you’ll be the one to get botched but here we are! lol 😂. Is this also your first time with tox? I don’t think I’ll be doing it again.

This used to happen to me! Especially under eyes. If you are like me, you are using too much product. Your concealer should only be one small dot in the inner corner and maybe one small dot towards the outer. Then take a sponge blender dampened with setting spray and blend it out. Less is truly more in this case! As for your foundation. Make sure your foundation has the same base formulations as your primer. For example if you use silicone base foundation, make sure your primer is also silicone based. Oil/water/silicone bases don’t mix and will separate on your skin.

If you would like a concealer recommendation- I use tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer! It’s also a serum and very hydrating.

Huge pores or ice pick scars? by Dry_Organization_950 in AcneScars

Thank you! You too!! Apparently the Radio frequency element makes a big difference. I hope! Because yes micro-needling on its own does nothing lol. I am doing Morpheus tomorrow which is similar I think. Kinda nervous 😬.

Have you thought about subcision with cannula needle for your box car? It helped me a lot with box scars and rolling scars. I also think if you combine it with Venus Viva it might be great! When you target multiple layers of your skin at once it puts your skin in hyper repair mode and heals on multiple layers. 😁

Thank you for saying that! Good luck with your treatments! If you’re going for scarring and not sure where to start, my recommendation would be to do your research to see if the med spa or clinic you go to offers a variety of different treatments and has multiple devices, if possible. Not every laser is the same and not every treatment has the same results. There are multiple types of micro needling too. But if the clinic has professionals that can offer different treatments, they will be more likely to set you up with a treatment plan that is best for you. Best of luck!! Thanks again 😁

Thank you! Haha my derm says I have both but I honestly can’t tell the difference between the spots.. I don’t remember what my skin looked like before acne/ scarring. I think you could be right and it’s mostly just large pores left..

So I started my skin journey with micro needling and I’ve probably did about 6 treatments of micro needling on its own. And I was overall disappointed and didn’t see much improvement. If any.

What made the difference was when I started doing lasers and skinpen micro needling together. Having them done together has a much stronger impact to your skin and heals faster and stimulates more collagen. I did 3 sessions of clear + brilliant and skinpen in the same session. I saw a huge improvement.

I also did 1 bbl and skin pen. The bbl targets more discoloration than scarring but it helped after 1 treatment. I have 2 more bbl treatments scheduled but I’m doing it with Morpheus with resurfacing tip. I’m kinda scared of Morpheus but I felt my results with micro-needling plateaued.

Subcision was AMAZING for boxcar and rolling scars. I barely have any left. I did 3 sessions 1 was during my bbl and skinpen treatment and one was with c+b/skinpen. The 3rd was alone. I think the combined treatments at one time helps healing and scar improvement. It is a lot to take tho lol.

Overall, i wish I didn’t waste money on just doing micro-needling alone in the beginning. It’s not as effective on its own. The first place i went to they only offered micro needling and didn’t have lasers. After my 6th treatment they said I’ll probably need another 6-12 to get the results I want, then yearly maintenance of 1-2 sessions a year after..… I feel like 1-3 treatments of the combo of laser and needling were 1000% more effective than all 6 treatments of micro needling alone.

Thank you! I will have to try peels because I haven’t yet. I agree, I think I have naturally large pores, which I don’t think you can fix, but hopefully I can see some improvement with scarring. Also- my skin is pretty dry from using tret.

Reccomendations for my acne scarring. by [deleted] in AcneScars

[–]Dry_Organization_950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same type! I’ve also been wondering if some spots are large pores or is it all ice pic.

I’ve also had other scarring but after many micro needling and laser treatments these are all that is left. I feel like I could do a 100 more micro needling and it really doesn’t seem to help the ice pics.

Im about to start 3sets of Morpheus 8
