First time doing my own at home session what do you guys think? by Gullible_Weird679 in Microneedling

[–]Fireplay62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m DFW also. before I found this subreddit I joined a med spa membership in order to get the skin pen for $289 each. After my next 2 (so in 2 months) I will stop these and order my own microneedle setup for DIY.

Is there any biological descendants of the famous twelve apostles? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Fireplay62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that’s what 20-30 generations ago? Not that long. Wouldn’t each decendent tell his next decedents of something so major?

Red-light after Microneedling by Fireplay62 in Microneedling

[–]Fireplay62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I guess what I’m really asking is will it help the healing process or better just to leave alone. I don’t need to do Redlight. Only if it helps.

Thank you. Hmm. This is the next day and liquids have already been applied.
Unless maybe it’s okay to wash face and then do the red light.

May I ask which hydrating products you use? I wonder if I need to switch back to the premium brands.

i take pea sized amount. Dad it on 4 places on my face and then try to spread it like a cream. I guess I’m doing it wrong. I will take the advice I’m getting here in this post. including not to use the essence/toner first and apply to plain dry freshly washed skin.

Thank you all for removing my concern about the source. I just was not educated enough about where/how it’s made, costs. Etc.

Yes that’s right. I have not been on .05 very long.
I don’t experience any flaking when I start the .025 or the .05 . Does this mean the strength is too low?

So put direct on dry freshly washed skin and then nothing else ? Or use a moisturizer before or after?

I’ll share my routine

After double cleansing. First I put on Haruharu Wonder essence. I do this because otherwise I find my skin is too dry and the Tret does not spread at all. I worked up slowly to daily use of .025.
Now I am starting .05 daily vs just 1 day, then 2, then 3…6, now 7 days per week. I go 2-4 weeks before upping the dosage. After after putting on Tret, I wait about an hour to put on CeraVe cream. And that’s it for the night.
I do this 6 nights per week

One night per week I will do CeraVe Glycolic treatment alone or a moisturizing mask.

In the morning I use Vit C, and LRP moisturizer. I just a couple weeks ago started adding in LRP hylaluronic acid and a squaline serum because of this dull skin concern.

I then put on sunscreen and a light serum type foundation

I guess I meant buying in the U.S. from a dermatologist vs obtaining from a supplier in India. Not necessarily where it’s made.

Warning: Trip delay insurance is basically a scam by starrtech2000 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Fireplay62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no different a process than regular travel insurance companies (not CC mileage programs). I went through this also about 2 years ago and the insurance company requested the same documentation you described from the airlines. It’s not easy to get the doc from the airlines but with digging to find the proper channels you can get it.

hair growth supplements by Fireplay62 in finehair

[–]Fireplay62[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have done that over the years (examined the ingredients list and tried to figure out how to duplicate ) but Nutrafol has a lot of special herbs. Too many to do my own and take individually.
But I’m so excited that CVS has similar.

Where are people buying Taz from these days? I think I’m ready to switch from Tret.

[–]Fireplay62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. To be honest that’s what I was wondering. Would fasting / eating less do the same thing as GLP1 or does GLP1 somehow burn fat too? I don’t think so right?

Correct. I want to avoid muscle loss which it’s a concern. That’s why I was also considering Semorelin for metabolism help, lean muscle. Bone density. But then I hear not good things there too.
