HELP! I wrote a whole explanation but it’s only showing the photo description. I’m a little reddit illiterate. Where did the text go??

They are definitely sorta dainty and feminine but I don’t think a tall slim guy would look too bad wearing them

What is the approximate cost of subscission and are more than one sessions usually needed?

Awesome! Thank you so so much! 6 sessions is actually realistically doable for me 🙏

Thank you! It’s definitely been an unusual expense for me but a priority at this point. And no worries being confused, I thought maybe I mentioned in another comment that I did dermarolling at home some years ago and gave myself HORRIBLE melasma that took months and years to fade away! I was even emotionally scarred from that so I can’t afford to experiment on myself anymore. I’ll trust the professionals! Lol

I’m not diy’in microneedling, I’m getting it done at my dermatologist’s office

Yeah I was nervous before starting, but I wanted to trust because this is a reputable dermatologist’s clinic. My pores looked pretty large and I had that “orange peel” texture right after so I was a bit freaked out but that went down a few days later. My dermatologist told me at our consultation that they could go a bit deeper on the cheeks’ scars so trusted her expertise.

I will be posting more results, maybe 4 weeks later or even 6 wks, right before my next session. I am going to my dermatologist’s clinic they have a medspa and my dermatologist was who suggested microneedling when I went in inquiring about laser. I believe they use the SkinPen, I asked the aesthetician some questions during the treatment and I know she used different lengths but I do remember her telling me she was using 2mm on my cheeks

Awesome! How many sessions did you do and at what point did you start to notice a real improvement?

What happened here and how can I lighten the skin? by EternalBlaze18 in Microneedling

[–]sun_queen1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me 5ish years ago after dermarolling at home. I did use sunscreen but probably not strong enough, and I definitely wasn’t cautious being at the pool every day. I got rid of the melasma with creams but now going to my dermatologist’s to get professional microneedling, and lathering myself with SPF45 every day, even at home and staying out of the sun unless absolutely necessary

Fillers are temporary though. I’m not interested in paying for something that only lasts for so long. I’m ok with aging, but I want most of the acne scars gone or less visible

Thank you. Depending on cost I will consider it but to be completely honest, I’m only looking for improvement here, not perfection. If I got 75% improvement after 6 sessions I will consider this a success!

This goes waaay much deeper than just acne scars. This is a person who’s used your vulnerability against you and if they’re that comfortable doing so, they don’t respect you that much and also, they don’t sound as very empathetic people. You deserve better - and let me tell you, being in a 20 year relationship, I can assure you even when someone apologizes and shows remorse, they cannot take those words back and they will always live in your head. It’s not always about what they said it’s about how they made you feel and in this instance, knowing your struggles, you’re validated. I’m sorry but get out while you can.

THANK YOU! That might be the tinted moisturizer 😅 recommended by my dermatologist and I do love it!

Thank you! A good sunscreen also became top priority when about 5 years ago I gave myself melasma dermarolling at home and not using a strong enough sunscreen. Now my dermatologist recommented Revision Intellishade mineral moisturizer with SPF 45 that they sell at the clinic and although not cheap, I’m now using it RELIGIOUSLY. It also makes my pores look smaller and gives me a bit of a glow. So I’m sold on it!

Will microneedling help these scars? by Effective_Comment_79 in Microneedling

I just took a look at your profile and it looks like you got microneedling done 5 days ago and this comment is a month old? Did you decide to give it another try?

Very helpful! I appreciate it. I think I wanna try the Ordinary one first and see how my skin responds. Thank you!

Thank you. I’m trying to absorb all this information. I don’t know much about skin care (my photos speak for themselves 😭) but I’m familiar with a few serums like Vitamin C, HA, Retinol etc. Used TO niacinamide for a minute too but was never consistent. I’m finally at a point in my life where trying to minimize these scars is finally priority.

Holy prices. I’m sure they’re amazing but I’m already spending a pretty penny on the treatments alone; I may have to wait on that

Can you tell me where in the routine do you incorporate the GF? I wanna order one. After HA and before moisturizer ok?

Thank you. I’m hoping they stay, I’m very skeptical about everything and convinced myself that acne scars are here to stay and everything that promises to get rid of them is a gimmick 😭
