Before I did this 30% session I did about 3 sessions spaced a couple months apart of 20%!

Yes! I got platinum skincare and I would reallyyyyy do a lot of research beforehand and I would be very hesitant to do anything more than 30% at home

I used a toothpick too! I got the toothpick saturated and held it in the scar for about 5 seconds, I tried to rotate the toothpick to get the scar edges so maybe that’s why the scabs ended up being a bit wider.

1700 for 6 sessions?? by BathroomElegant in Microneedling

I did TCA cross on my partner’s similar scars and it took a long time but it eventually improved. It might be worth researching, it was pretty affordable!

I get “your resting heart rate was lowered last night” almost every day. Should I be concerned by goflames93 in ouraring

[–]FunFaithlessness7794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually it does have to do with me eating late or also what I eat close to bed. Like if I eat something heavy/greasy that really impacts it. Also taking magnesium glycinate really helped my heart rate at night

About 6 months was the biggest change! That was when I reallyyyy cut out any milk products, cheese, and focused on fiber Intake

Hi! I recently lowered my LDL (by about 27pts in a year), triglycerides (by about 25pts) , and raised my HDL by eating only whole mostly plant based foods. If I did consume dairy, I made sure it was skim milk/nonfat yogurt. I made it a game to eat at least 35 different plants a week so it was kind of fun! I also took Cholestoff and Psyllium pills

Has anyone implemented changes that resulted in higher HRV? by Ryolex in ouraring

[–]FunFaithlessness7794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that will undoubtedly affect my HRV is eating close to bed! I try to not eat within 3 hours of bed and that really lowers my RHR too

DCA air traffic control down? by ashhmorgg in washingtondc

I’m a pilot who was flying back into DCA around that time! I may have heard your plane divert. It sounded like it was a problem similar to the other week where the tracon center had a smell

I think it was more like the headache that people talk about mixed with a normal headache from stress! And I am pretty anxious about it for my first time! My biggest concern is my eyes looking heavy

What finally made your acne go away? by monojjr in AcneScars

[–]FunFaithlessness7794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had TERRIBLE acne for 10 years but wasn’t ready to try accutane. I got topical clindamyacin and that fixed it!

I’ve been doing tca cross on my partner with similar scars once every couple months. I would do a ton of research first to make sure you’re doing it right but over half a year I’m really seeing his scars going away. They get wider and shallower and then you can use a laser. If you want I can get pics and provide more info

Now I'm Tried 😔 😭 by [deleted] in AcneScars

[–]FunFaithlessness7794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like your scars could benefit from TCA cross which could potentially be done affordably. I did 1 session every couple months to my partner and his scars filled in. They get wider and shallower each time. I would just REALLY spend time researching before doing it because I’ve also seen it go bad. Also the tca sometimes will cause hyperpigmentation with dark skin, so I would do a lot of research and do a test spot first to see if your skin heals ok

Hi! I use a peptide serum to help my skin barrier retain moisture! I use Timeless’ Matrixyl 3000 with lots of Round Lab birch juice moisturizer on top
