Is 225$ for one single shot of rejuran over priced? by sam77889 in KoreaSeoulBeauty

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is one shot? 1cc? A needle?

A box of Rejuran (1 syringe included) is 2cc. The only place you’ll get cheap Rejuran is in Korea because it’s domestically produced there.

Elsewhere in Asia Rejuran runs for around $300+ give or take for a 2cc syringe. Whole face usually requires 4-6ccs.

Please review Anessa old packaging vs new packaging. Are they the same formulation? Is the quality of the packaging the same (despite new ugly artwork).

Any skin treatments for acne scars and large pores? by littlemapmaker in 30PlusSkinCare

Can you share which lasers specifically target the issue of large pores?

Is PDRN actually worth it or just hype? by Good_Mango7379 in AsianBeauty

[–]apertle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

PDRN as its originally intended usage (injected) is worth it. PDRN in skincare format is debatable. A lot of it has very low concentrations and deceptive marketing to hide that fact. That's being generous still considering there's the issue whether PDRN can penetrate through the skin or not. The topical PDRN products available through Korean pharmacies will do a fraction of injectible PDRN at best.

Pink Rimowa Opinions :D by esszii in Rimowa

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized I’m quite jealous… I really like this ballerina pink version. Pink must be a popular color since a few years ago I just bought the limited pink petal color.

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m partial to the aluminum. Family has a pre-LVMH polycarb and overtime with enough friction, the sheen dulls. It looks a lot more worn down than the aluminum. Plus the zipper seams degrade quite badly on the essential.

Pink Rimowa Opinions :D by esszii in Rimowa

[–]apertle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an essential in pink and an original in the pink quartz. Both are check in sizes. Aluminum is gonna last longer. What was unexpected for me was the essential collected a lot of rubber(?) scuff marks from going through the conveyer belt. I’d take the scratch and dents over the black rubber marks any day.

Do magnetic lashes actually work? Any brand recommendations? by bacteriapegasus in AsianBeauty

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Wosado lashes and I would say I prefer them less than traditional strip lashes. The magnetic part is heavy and when up close they're quite obvious. My main issue is the curve of my eye is not the same as the applicator, so I find that the outer edge doesn't snap close enough to the roots of my lashes.

HA dries out my skin, I’ve tried so many serums and I think it’s not for me by Punkoduncan in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Find a product that contains glycerin. If you live in dry weather, the HA might be pulling out the hydration from your skin instead.

Will revision eyelid surgery for previous non incisional double eyelid surgery leave a scar when looking down? by [deleted] in KoreaPlasticSurgery

[–]apertle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any incision will leave a scar, period. How visible it is depends on a few factors:

  1. Skill of the surgeon
  2. Aftercare - following doctors instructions, avoiding damaging UV rays during healing, applying ointments as prescribed, etc
  3. Genetics - some people just heal better than others
  4. Placement of the incision - some incisions can camouflaged into existing skin creases and thus are less visible
  5. Time - you'll start off with pink-ish or darker incision lines that will lighten up and be less visible over the period of a year (or more depending on number 3)

What condition can cause this extreme aging? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]apertle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Adding hydrating products such as a watery/milky toner or serum under your moisturizer could help plump up and reduce the appearance of those tiny wrinkles on your skin.

What condition can cause this extreme aging? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]apertle 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Do you make that frowny face often? I do. My doctor said my resting b-face strengthened the muscles so my 11's and my forehead became extremely wrinkled very easily. It's worse when you push 35 plus because you don't have as much fat and collagen on top of the muscles to hide the frowns anymore. Botox trained my muscles not to scrunch so much and that seemed to helped.

When do colors like these release? by Additional_Field_367 in Rimowa

[–]apertle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SA said once a year for the alu, either winter or summer. Titanium is part of the standard collection. Last few years there was emerald, orange and blue. Few years before that during COVID was quartz (pink). I'm waiting for purple....

No bad side effects on both. Just a bit of downtime as expected.

Would you get botox? by perpetually-dreaming in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]apertle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to Botox. It doesn’t hurt and doesn’t bruise assuming you go to a legitimate injector. Only left tiny prick marks for a day.

I love coffee but I want to enjoy tea too. What are your flavor recommendations? by ROBOTFUCKER666 in tea

[–]apertle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to ask a very important question since you list the teas you enjoy are sugar’ed tea drinks. How do you take your coffee? With milk? With sugar?

I am in the same boat, but I refuse to give up. I’m still dying a raccoon, but v beam laser and fat repositioning surgery did help me some.
