@Hawaiingirl34 this is great info. My skin visibly looks better. Can’t wait to try the retin-A next time!

Me too.. I’m learning so much about anatomy 🤗

@Birdie absolutely. I love this group

@Hawaiingirl34 thank you so much for this explanation about everything.. Botox also 🤗

@katyjade i numb. Clean the face. Apply a thick layer of retin-a and needle it straight in.Other people add HA as well. But just to let you know applying retin-a after MN i have gotten minimal peeling... but when I needle it in I have heavier peeling. It takes me about 7 to 10 days to finish peeling after needling it in. I usually wait a couple weeks between things. I'm sure once your skin is all healed from MN then you are good to go for botox.

@Birdie I am at 24hrs post op and my face feels much better, almost like I’ve done nothing except my throat. I’m hoping for some great results! ❤️ do you have any idea how many days I should wait to do Botox now? It should be arriving tomorrow.

@katyjade these are some good questions.. I’ve done it once a month for 3 months.. each time I’ve used a different needle cos I have no idea.. 16 pin seems to hurt the most.. I don’t numb.. I use HA and water spray bottle.. it’s a must to have wetness for that slip

@Hawaiingirl34 when you say you do it with retin-A,does that just mean you cover your face with HA gel and a layer of retin-A? Also, I found that my needle head was sort of bogging down from the HA gel I kept applying for slip. Do you just apply it at the beginning and then mist with water for continuous good slip?
