microneedling

[amithistrose 32]

Has anyone tried microneedling treatment on loose skin? Did it help?

I have looked into it. Any results would be subtle. It might tighten up your neck or face, might. But no chance of it helping arms or stomach etc

A friend had it done on her face to reduce the fine lines & loose skin post her weight loss. She said there’s been no difference. It’s supposed to stimulate collagen but takes a couple of weeks for the results to show. She had it done months ago.

I’m doing RF on my face. Stimulates collagen growth too & also like needling not long term solution. The deep marionette line on my left side has become softer but the right side hasn’t changed. I’ve completed about 10 treatments (my beautician had a special going 6 treatments for price of 5) but I had hoped for better results. 😩

Considering laser lift but have to explore further.

Well, I think it all depends on which area of the skin you are going to perform this procedure.

Well, I think it all depends on which area of the skin you are going to perform this procedure. My mom is a cosmetologist and when she wanted to learn a new level of cosmetology and went to college, she told me much more about this procedure and many others. In fact, the effect of this procedure on your skin depends on the composition of your skin, your age and many other facts. As far as I know, even the state of the microflora of your intestine matters because healthy skin directly depends on the intestine. If you want the procedure to be successful, do a check-up of the body and eat food that is good for the intestine, then you will definitely be satisfied with the result.

Further to my post a while ago, I had my first micro needling session about a month ago but I had derma pen which is deeper & more precise. My reaction lasted about four days instead of the usual 1-2 days of redness. I spoke to my cosmetic physician & she’s going to do subsequent sessions more lightly as my skin is more sensitive. I’m expecting to have 4 sessions in total six weeks apart. It takes about three months for your skin to go through a renewal cycle & therefore to see any results. I decided to try it because of my cystic acne scaring & open pores. If it helps with loose skin that would be a bonus. My doctor also recommends a maintenance session every year.

This pxt is about 6 hours after it was done. It was more rash like in the following days & no makeup didn’t cover the rashy blotchiness.

I think the spa is the best thing you can give your body after a long period of work.

I agree with what others have said. My plastic surgeon did pulsed dye laser treatment for my scars after my thigh and arm lifts. We talked about microneedling but honestly, I don't know its effectiveness for improving skin laxity. I have had a standard microneedling treatment done by my dermatologist for acne scarring, but for me, I personally saw better results with the laser treatments.

Shallow microneedling would be a waste of time and money. To have any effect on scars, elasticity and collagen stimulation requires a minimum depth of 1.5 mm (for thin skin, example: inner arms) to 2.5 mm. (thicker skin, example: stomach & thighs). At a depth of1.5 mm to 2.5 mm, I highly recommend a pharmaceutical grade numbing cream. Dr Pen is superior to Derma rollers. Not only do genetics and age determined the skin's ability to "shrink" but also how long you have been overweight. Microneedling has the best results on crepey skin rather than excess skin.
