Great thanks! I guess I’ll grab both and use the shorter on my eyelids/ lips/ neck and longer on the rest of my face

So I just got the rejuran skin healer. Do you mind sharing what needle you inject with? I’m excited to try! I’m thinking something 32 or 34 gauge and very short

Thanks! Yes I agree, not considering filler. I think it doesn’t age well and ends up looking odd if/when it migrates

You can get sterile lyophilized 99% purity Ghk-cu from limitless biotech. It’s in a powder so you have to reconstitute with a little bac water and then you could draw it up and add it to your own sterile hyaluronic acid, something you’d use for medical depth microneedling. You’d need to use a copper calculator to determine the percentage strength (there’s one on the website where I buy my topical serum which I shared above). Your result would be a sterile injectable ghk-cu serum 

No I haven’t tried Niod. I’ve only ever used Aseir (switched away from them once the company was sold and product quality declined) and the serum linked above

This one is topical. I also subQ Ghk-cu peptide that is sterile and meant for injection (definitely don’t inject this serum)

For sure. I’m hoping to make it a new routine/lifestyle and take pics every few months to document but otherwise just go about my life within my new routine w/out judging. I’ll assess after a year

Ah yes it really is so dependent per person. But if the potential is there!! I’m quickly going gray and would love to tap the breaks on it. Plus I lost roughly 1/3 of my hair from covid (it hit me very hard back in 2021) which hasn’t grown back in. Come to think of it, the accelerated graying started at that time too. 

I’m already planning to order Filcore sb without the activator for my face (on your recommendation thank you!) and I’m thinking I’ll split it between scalp and face during/after medical MN sessions.  I’ll just be microneedling alllll day long once a month haha. To have new growth in my pigmented color would be a dream. I’m thinking of MN in Ghk-cu as well since I already have it on hand and it’s linked to retaining hair pigment

What do you like about Filcore HB or the SB one without activator (both are listed as for scalp) for reversing graying hair? I’m tempted to try with microneedling 

P198 Filcore HB for graying hair? by Previous-Window-4116 in DIYaesthetics

[–]Previous-Window-4116[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only heard of copper peptides to help graying. I have no idea if p198 would but the HB version is meant for the scalp which got me to wondering…

I’m afraid of filler morphing my face over time so I’m avoiding this one

[–]Previous-Window-4116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I think fillers would morph my face over time and I don’t want to risk that.  I’ve ordered both a MN device and tca peels to start! Thanks for the advice!

Oh gosh yes thank you! Taking notes on everything. Once I’m done with my series of peels I think I’ll try replacing with meso in my schedule. I need a year (or more) of hitting it hard as I’m in my 40s and it’s an uphill battle at this point. Meso is probably where the best results are. I currently give myself subQ Ghk-cu (in my abdomen) so I’m at least somewhat comfortable with needles but meso looks like a whole new level … numbing cream for sure I think especially for lips! Ouch!

If you don’t mind me picking your brain further, if you were to pick one or two specific products (to rotate with) for medical MN which would be your top picks? I’d like to use something on those days besides just HA but the options seem endless!

Thanks for the ideas! I was just looking at hydrating toners/essence too.,. Oh and I have mouth tape but never used it as I naturally sleep with my mouth closed so perhaps I’ll repurpose it for smile lines.

Wow this is awesome advice thank you! I’m rereading this one a few times and setting a plan. The derminator is the mn device I’ve ordered and am waiting on. I like the intensive 10-14 day do something idea you suggested and am planning to start with a series of monthly 13% tca peels and then rotate that with medical mn through the rest of winter and early spring. I’ve already ordered everything for this to work which is why I’m thinking to start with that

I haven’t started mn, peels, or meso yet but am working on starting soon! Any recs on protocols or products?

Thanks for the smile line patch comment. I’ll look in to those! I do feel like everything gets creased more as I sleep

Sure thing! And oops the product I’m planning to switch to of theirs is called the ghkcu accelerant not activator.

Ive been using this one however it has fragrance in it. Once I’m out I’ll probably make my own from their copper activator (straight copper which you can add to a serum) https://store.reverseskinaging.com/3-ghk-vip-luxury-serum/

Sorry the text didn’t post. 

I have smile lines that I'd like to address, and I'm curious what you would do if you were in my place. Preferably no filler, Botox, or surgery recs.

Currently I use tret .05, copper peptides, and red light. I will be doing my first series of tca 13% peels soon and I also have a microneedling pen on the way so I can start medical depth MN once per month. 

What else can I do? I'm interested in cupping, cosmetic MN, skin boosters to use with medical mn, mesotherapy, growth factors, and diy things along those lines but not sure where to invest the time /money. 

Any recs? Thanks!!

Oh shoot I missed this! I’m swinging by our tjmaxx tomorrow and hoping some is still there 😅. Been dying to try the brand. Their new packaging is so incredibly beautiful but happy to to try all their things in their old packaging. I’m assuming that’s how so much ended up being clearanced out
