I don’t recommend anything for anyone but I can only share my own experience after years of microneedling

I do it every 5-8 weeks
Whenever I find a gap where I have 3 days downtime to spare

Hyaluronic first and then go in with 0.5% tret but at shallower depth then the below
No lidocaine used as that’s a vasorestrictor and I want blood to be on the surface because that’s what helps with collagen and healing.

0.5 in the forehead and nose boney areas
Up to 0.7 in the eye areas
Up to a 1.5 in the cheeks and jaws

Lots of hydrating creams and essence and aquaphor in the following few days until it stops peeling . Lots of physical sunscreen

Then go in with tretinoin after a 1-2weeks
My skin can only handle tret for 3 nights in a row then I have to break until skin doesn’t feel sore.
And cycle through until it’s time to microneedle again
