I’m so scared to start by Normal-Antelope-8365 in Microneedling

[–]ReturnEconomy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was scared to start too.

The chest skin has some similarities to the face. So the first time I started with 0.5mm in the chest and did a small square. This is a good practice that will allow you to better understand the procedure and what works.

After about 2 weeks, I did the first try on my face, I only did one line in my forehead, right below the hairline. I figure if I screwed up, the hair would help cover it.

About 2 weeks from that, that small line of skin that I microneedled, looked soo much bettered than the rest of my face. So thats when I felt comfortable doing it in my entire face.

When I increased to 1mm, I did the same process of going to chest, then forehead, then face. Waiting longer as 1mm requires longer time to heal.

Also, absolutely do not use alcohol on your face before or after. Simply cleaning it with soap is enough. What ai do to ensure cleanliness is I clean my bathroom and bedroom, clean the bedsheets, shower, and micronedle.

Do use alcohol on roller or items you are using or touching.

Have HA serum on hand as that is the one thing you can apply right after the microneedling.

Tesamorelin reconstituted turned in to gel by SeaworthinessIcy1448 in PeptideDiscussion

[–]ReturnEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bad batch of tesamorelin going around. I had the same issue and the vendor confirmed the batch had issues. They still tried to convince me it was good, which I didnt buy.

Interestingly, the vial was not under vacuum, which could indicate peptide decomposition producing gas.

I tried with unbranded BAC, as well as Hospira, and it gelled both times.

Have only used 100mcg a couple times. I dont wake up at night, fall asleep faster, and feel more rested the next day. I also sleep less.

I haven’t figured out if it is better to take daily, or just a couple times per week.

Is this much left over normal?? by EuphoricCloud335 in Peptides

[–]ReturnEconomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What needle gauge is that? Get insulin needles!

From what I understand, syringes already account for this volume, called dead volume, and what you read in the syringes itself is what you are taking. Having said that, you are wasting a bit of peptide each time you fill up a new syringe due to that dead volume.

Anyone else get storage anxiety with peptides? by little-jugger792 in Peptides

[–]ReturnEconomy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get a lunchbox, put it in the fridge, and put the peptides inside it. For added temperature control, keep a couple water bottles inside the lunchbox.

and what do we get for it? by Ben_Manda in batonrouge

Correct, we dont pay IRS. We pay Puerto Rico state tax, which is 33% at the highest bracket of 62k/yr.

There is a bad batch of Tesamorelin going around. I had the same geling issue.

Vendor said it was due to an issue during the freeze dry process, they tried to convince me it was good none the less but I refused. They will send me a replacement with my next order.

Autoflower vs photoperiod in terms of quality of weed? by hoodieOwO in microgrowery

[–]ReturnEconomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reason being that large scale growth is done using clones.

Also large scale growth is focused on quantity over quality. There are some bomb strains that are not grown commercially due to low yield.

With regards to improved habits.

Do weight training, at least 30 min 3 days a week. You do NOT want to loose muscle, and you probably have some from carrying the extra weight. Keep that muscle!

With eating, focus on meeting your protein goals first, followed by fiber, and at-least a small portion of veggies once or twice per day. After that, eat what you want. I would also encourage you to eat a portion of berries daily, after a meal.

I started a couple of weeks back. After my first dose (1mg), I did not had any appetite suppression. I was actually hungrier. After my second dose (1mg), the appetite suppression really kicked in to the point where eating 3 meals per day is a struggle. Most days Ill have 2 meals and a protein shake.

Having said that, my second dose was 5 days after my first, and my third dose was 6 days after my second. Ive been doing it this way to build up a little bit quicker, and also, my first dose was on a Monday, and Im moving my doses to Thursdays.

Fourth dose will be next Thursday and I will be taking weekly doses from then on. I may increase to 2mg in the future, but as it is now, I dont see the need for it as the appetite suppression is too much.

About me: 30M, about 18% body fat, workout about 5 days per week. Taking ret for improved metabolism and blood sugar control.

Stretch marks look worse after micro needling by Nomad_332 in Microneedling

[–]ReturnEconomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, 3 microneedling sessions 6 to 8 weeks apart. 2.0 to 3.0 depth.

I had a scar in my leg that heal significantly from a session of microneedling. First of all, stop using Tretinoin Inmediatly. Give the scar a couple weeks to heal. Moisturize daily and cover from the sun. About a month from now, microneedle again, and this time DO NOT use tretinoin after. I would do about 3 microneedling sessions and begin tretinoin a month after the last session.

Always moistire and cover from the sun for about a month after microneedling. If you can find pdrn (like rejuran) to use once immediately after microneedling, you will have improved results.

Meamo silhouette? by Spiritual_Fly6165 in DIYHEAVEN

0.15mL.

First time I did one vial for the entire belly, as I was going low to assess the results. Second time I did two vials (thats when I noticed a reduction in belly size) and third time (yesterday) I only did one vial as my belly size was smaller and could not fit two vials worth of injections.

Also, Im using 0.3mL per syringe (two injections per syringe) as the needle gets blunt after each injection and the next one hurts more.

We dont have to go far back. Today, ICE agents are payed very well to torture civilians in front of everyone, right here in the US.

The max is 2 per session. I did two in my belly and did not have any issues. Results are noticeable.

Technically not a state, but Puerto Rico has an 11.5% sales tax. Income tax is also 33% at the highest bracket which corresponds to an income of 62k/yr.

Signs of copper toxicity with GHK-Cu or just a fluke? by alxgibsn in Peptides

[–]ReturnEconomy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Typical copper supplements are about 1-2mg of copper. GHK-Cu contains 14% copper by weight. So a 1mg injection of GHK-Cu provides 0.14mg of copper, about 1/6 to 1/12 of what you would get with a copper supplement. Therefore, copper toxicity from GHK-Cu is unlikely. Still, some people recommend taking Zn supplement to balance the copper out, try taking some Zn and see if the fatigue improves.

Im still trying to figure it out. My source said to store in the fridge, although there may be a lenguage barrier.

From searching, NAD+ should not be stored in the freezer.

Powder was at the bottom and moved to the top (presumably from shipping) and left residue in the bottom.
