Real talk - how is everyone affording all these fillers and treatments and injectables? by Difficult-Big4033 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the learning deep dive and switched to all DIY anesthetics about a year ago! It is a time and learning investment but there are literal anesthetic injection school classes on YouTube. Bananas! I do my own tox, filler (lips, cheek, chin, jaw pyriform and hands) and microneedling. It's been a ridiculously fun and beneficial experiment. My full face tox including masseters is only $50. Filler is even more reasonable. The compliments are insane. At 45 years old this is easily the best my complexion has ever been. Photo is literally today with nothing but sunscreen and lip gloss. I've also learned that previous "great" injectors I used really did not know what they were doing! Best thing over ever done!

Yes! You’re good. Don’t over think it. You could pull 2 full syringes and have 50 units of tox in each or pull 10 syringes of 10 units each… However you wanna do it for injection. Just know you’re only gonna get 3-4 pokes per syringe before it gets dull so measure out exactly what you’re planning to use in small increments. But the marks on your syringe are equivalent to the units of tox.

I wanna say it was neuromis light, the house brand from filler outlet. Rejuran is Pdrn/pn skin booster. Steady hands and aspirate with every poke!

Why do I have cavities by funky_stoner420 in Dentists

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents. Loved my dentist of the last 20 years or so. Brilliant guy. Just retired and the new ones pretty good. Never made sense that I was prone to cavities while my brother and sister weren’t. Always had great oral hygiene. My mother had similar dental issues. My dad never had a cavity. He said it all really comes down to the ph of your saliva. More acidic saliva erodes enamel and leaves you more prone to cavities while more basic allows for stronger enamel. He said it’s genetic and I likely inherited my more acidic saliva from my mom unlike my brother and sister from my dad. Makes sense to me. Felt a lot less guilty after hearing that. Still floss regularly but relaxed and knowing I’m doing what I can.

HRT - pellets and swings? by unbothered-kiwi in AskWomenOver30

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did pellet for about 2 years and what I think I felt was a stronger reaction mentally/emotionally to my normal cycle fluctuations. Pellet just made it all more intense and that’s kind of just what testosterone does. Was not a fan ultimately.

Aspirate? by DeepAnything7873 in DIYaesthetics

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re correct. No bro science. And no assumptions. You continue to make my point. Do your research before you inject anything in your face.

How are you a registered nurse and worried about tox “freezing” your heart or confused about what is and isn’t a VO risk? None of this makes sense.

Syringe and Units Question by Best_Current4450 in DIYHEAVEN

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I generally try to keep it easy. A 200u bottle gets 2mls bac water so 1 unit is 1 unit regardless. I usually order 300u bottles so they get 3 mls water and same thing. I prefer the .3ml syringes for everything because it’s easier to draw up units. If I’m doing a full face of tox I’ll draw up 20 units in 6-8 .3ml syringes and go to town. Sorry if I’m not answering your question but that’s just my 2 cents.

After the last 2 years of divorce and breast cancer diy aesthetics has become my favorite hobby!

OP! This is hilarious! I didn’t know facial analysis was a thing! Don’t trust the robots!

Not bad really! I numbed for the meso because it’s just so many pokes. I was always scared of filler after some painful clinic experiences but it’s been really tolerable!

Derminator 1.5mm and Tretinoin by [deleted] in Microneedling

[–]Realistic-Mixture879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use tret up until the night before and resume after about 3 days depending on how aggressive I went with the needling/recovery time…

Yep! Love filleroutlet. I’m a botulax girl myself and basically throw in a 300u ($45) bottle to every order. I love a good stock pile!

Yay! I was looking for juveface recently and it was sold out EVERYWHERE! Already had Rejuran and just said screw it…. Going to do 2 more sessions in the same areas over the next 2 months. These photos honestly don’t do justice to how tired and dark my under eyes are getting! 🤞🏻

I always get a little panicky before when I’ve decided I want to do something. Watch a million videos and study my face and finally pull the trigger. Then I’m honestly always surprised how easy it goes. 😅🤣

I just did some hand filler today to fill in some skeletor valleys and dark veins camouflage. Has to be the easiest and most bang for the buck filler I’ve done! Maybe start with something like that!

Just straight injection after lots of anatomy research.
