Sixty seven year old grandma THRILLED I found you. .25 Dr. Pen twice a week and 1.5 once every 6 weeks. I am AMAZED at the improvement. Hyperpigmentation..gone. lip lines...gone. I look 57, ten years younger. GOD bless you.
I got my pen yesterday and conducted my first treatment. My settings were: 16 needle cartridges 6 speed 2.5 depth My face is red and puffy, I look like a zombie 🧟♂️
😍 For when I rewatch: 2:13 cleanse & tone 7:10 0.25 mm *derma roller* 8:29 takes 5 min 9:24 INFUSION: copper peptides, growth factors, retinoid & moisturizer (with vit B3).
I've been using my Dr Pen for nine months now once a month at 1.5 and once a week .3 with tretinoin my results are amazing I'm so happy I turned fifty on new years and my skin looks better now than when I was fourty thank you for all you do for us ♥️
@@cecy709 I add a pea size amount of .5 to a half oz of hyaluronic acid I apply a thin layer of this on face and neck first then I use the rest as I needle.. make sure you moisturizer your skin often through the next several days I hope this helps 😃
I am back 3 years later to say thank you! I purchased Dr. Pen and been using it with 12 needles. I feel and look so good. Sometimes I do mix hyarloaunic acid with jojoba oil serum when I use the pen and then rinse afterwards. 🌺🌸💕🌺
Just thought I'd mention you have 40k people now on your FB group since this video as you had 11k then! Wow!!!! So glad I found you! Keep up the excellent work ❤
I have loved derma rolling, but only do it monthly. I may start this regimen! I’m 53 and it’s really great we have all these options and people like you to teach us along the way!❤️ Thank you!
I love watching your videos and learning. The one thing that I would love though is if with each video you could give us an alternative rather than having to buy sooooo many products. Time and money are an issue for many of your followers, those with both have it done professionally.
Thank you! I’ve started Nano needling about 3 x’s a week and I didn’t understand cosmetic needling verses regular microneedling- I’ve done 1 regular and due for my second this weekend- I will start this weekly and take pictures. My skin has already improved so much, wish I’d seen your videos years ago😍
This has got to be my favorite video to hype me up for using my Dr. PEN with all the fabulous products I can't stop myself from buying! The before and after pictures just absolutely take the cake. I commit myself to do cosmetic needling more consistently in the coming year so I can age backwards like those ladies!
I think there are two reasons why dermarollers are less popular now. I do believe that yes, the PENS helped that along. But here is my personal reason #2 for why I am switching to a Pen. Last time I used the dermaroller, I messed up and got a bit too aggressive with it, on the left side of my face where the sag is severe. When I realized the damage done, it was before doing the right side. It was 100% my fault...slightly low light conditions too...not the roller's...but I quit microneedling 3 yrs ago after that mistake of mine. I still have faded visible pink scars on the left. I decided that I needed to resume microneedling, desperately...but using a less RIPPING/TEARING alternative. I trust the device, more than I trust myself🤔🤔🤔
Make sure if you start with a dermaroller that you get one that has real individual needles. Gin Amber Beauty makes awesome rollers and products, and Koi on Amazon seems to have the real deal.
Thanks for the refresh/update, Penn. You turned me on to microneedling and it has changed my skin so much. You're wearing another great sweater!!! Earthtones really make your eyes pop (as if they needed it) :)
I did cosmetic needling yesterday with .3 dermaroller and after immediately applied growth factor serum, copper peptide, and peptide rich night cream. My skin is glowing today! Look forward to this less is more approach as I will still medical needle every 4-6 weeks just not as deep as usual. Love all the educated information Penny shares with us!
Hi Misty ….can you tell me what growth factor you use as well as your Cooper Peptide? Everything listed on this video is no longer in stock. I was just wondering yours is different. I know this has been awhile but I’m new to cosmetic needling. Thanks Diana
What an AMAZING protocol, and one I know I'll be able to adopt. Gosh, what would I do without all your amazing information, recommendations and knowledge?!!?
I’ve been staring at my timeless derma roller forever, but I’ve been scared to death to use it! 😅 Those case studies are impressive, but I’m nervous about the possibility of making my melasma worse. I heard there’s data on this, but I have to look into it more. Do you think there’s any validity to this? Thanks Penn (my go to skin guru 😘)
I have melasma and so does Penn. I heard it can help with melasma. It hasn’t made mine worse. Btw- I watch your channel!! Do you have any protocols that help your melasma?
If it's just cosmetic needling you'll probably be okay. But check out Davin Lim's YT channel, he is a worldwide expert on treating pigment and melasma. He does feel at certain depths with needling you do risk pushing pigment down further and making it harder to treat. Not everyone agrees with this. I believe melasma has more of a hormonal origin, but my local dermatologist has said even though hyperpigmentation comes from the sun the treatments for pigment and melasma are often the same.
Interestingly microneedling can either REALLY help melasma via better cellular cross talk (keratinocytes-melanocytes) OR..... Make it worse bc of inflammation and heat (as in a hot flash type sitch that flares melasma). So your fear is real. It’s a total crap shoot 🤨
Awww! Thank you. To be fair-I do a lot to my skin. Lots of at home skincare but also in-office too. It’s quite cumulative for me. Cosmetic and MMN do have a big impact but they’re just a piece of the puzzle. Thank you for your kindness ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE It's amazing to follow you on your skincare journey, it just keeps getting better and it inspires us to do the same. I'm very thankful for the time and effort you put into your channel to share your knowledge with us🤗
I'm super excited! Today is January 12, 2024. Within the week I should have all of the product to do this protocol. I ended up getting Dr. Gross vitamin c serum and Paula's Choice toner for a better price. Hopefully you approve. Thank You Penn!
I am interested to see your skin care regime for a week. You have so many wonderful tools, products, tips, tricks. How in the world do you balance them all? I want to put together a routine for myself but I have no clue where or how to start. I would love to hear the reasoning for your process and order of your use of products. We have so many options now and it’s too much to process sometimes. Seeing it in action by someone like your that KNOWS what your doing and understands the science of it would be amazing. I only found you recently, but I appreciate your change because of how you explain things. I respect how deeply you understand the products and how / why they would or would not work.
UK guy here, great content in your vids, your advice on micro needling has helped me understand how to carry out each of the 3 interventions safely! Thank you so much for your time, knowledge and for giving a 48 year old Yorkshire man new to looking after his skin the confidence to give it a go! Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work you do it’s much appreciated. Dean from Huddersfield, UK ❤
I am going to give this a go! As i have a dermaroller I wasnt brave enough to use even tough I watch your older videos about this topic. I love your content
Just watched twice and did the needling for my 1st time ever. Great video. Helped me a lot! I did have to reapply the hyaluronic acid during the procedure. I was a little slow. I can't wait to see what results I will get. I turned 50 in February and want to take my skincare a step further. THANK YOU for your inspiration! You are a blessing to all of us!
Hello beauty! Love the lumify eyes, I got and love that stuff! I had professional MN today with my plasma. It's way different than doing it at home my face is beat up! She did before and after pics with the bright light and over the last year by following your recommendations, my skin is actually BETTER!!!! Nothing makes me happier since I am entering into my last year in the 50's. Hugs and love 💜
I got my Dr pen a year ago or more and I’ve been scared to use it. Used to get professional intense needling + TCA peels monthly. I’m going to start with cosmetic needling at least once a week and go over it with a glycolic acid peel. I know how my skin reacts to needling and the glycolic peel and my goal is for the needling to help the glycolic acid penetrate deeper for collagen and elastin stimulation 🙏🏻😁
those before and Afters are amazing!! I just started my journey at 41. I have 2 autoimmune diseases that effect collagen production. I am so excited to see what my results will be. Thank you for so many helpful videos and blogs full of information.
Tiffany I am curious to know if you tried needling and how your skin reacted. I have undiagnosed connective tissue disorder which my doctor says is possibly lupus. I want to try needling but I am worried since everywhere I have researched it is not recommended for people with autoimmune diseases.
@@rdigvonni Oh I'm so sorry, my aunt had lupus. So I have not had any reactions or issues come up but I am also very careful when I choose to do it and how. If I feel like I'm in a bad flare I usually wait until it passes. I started only using the hyaluronic acid and was very conservative with what serums, moisturizers and stuff I used during and after. I have sensitive skin already so I just wanted to be careful until I knew how my skin would react. I also don't do the deeper settings as often. I have had no issues with nano needling and would highly recommend starting there to see how your skin takes the treatment. Copper peptides, hyaluronic acid and a gentle moisturizer was enough for me personally starting out. It took me about 2-3 months before I noticed significant results but I was also not 💯 with how often I did it. Great thing about nano is you can do it more often with almost no down time. Even the deeper settings my face was fine the next day except for some dryness. I had some lines around my mouth and forehead that I hated and they all but disappeared so it works! I think you also need to be aware that if you are on any medication that could have an effect on your skin like steroids you may want to wait until your treatment is done and your body has had time to recover. Again, I would just recommend starting with micro or nano needling and very few products. You could also just try a patch on your arm or something to see how your skin reacts. I have psoriasis so I do make sure not to needle over any red patches. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Autoimmune issues do a number on your skin so I understand your reservations and concerns.
@Tiffany-Rose Thank you so much for responding. I have looked all over social media and the internet for information on this and I can't find anything or anyone who has shared an experience. I have an appointment with a dermatologist, but they could not get me in till February of 2024. I will definitely start with nano needling first.
@@rdigvonni Yeah I had the same problem so I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best! 🤞😂 I always find with my skin the conservative approach in the beginning is usually best. Better safe than sorry. I'm sorry you have to wait so long but I wish you luck at your appointment! Again if you have any questions just let me know. 👍
I think it’s amazing how professional people like your self how you see us doing all these procedures and you come on here and give us advise and tutorials on and when to carry out what we need more important what we don’t honestly don’t know what we would do without yourself and other professionals spending your time to explaine what to do when and how to do it safely your a god send big thank you Julie
❤👍😍 Thanks Penny! Although I like to do medical microneedling (thanks to you!), I got out of the habit of cosmetic needling. This video has been great and helped me start again!
THANK YOU for this video!! I did a very deep medical needling 3 days ago - how long should I wait before I start the cosmetic needling? Bless you Penny for giving this information so freely! Those photos you showed at the end of this video are amazing!! 🥰
I absolutely love your device reviews and protocols. I've not been absolutely sure how/how often to use the Dr Pen for cosmetic needling, and so avoided it. But now I'm definitely going to give it a try. A request: discuss methods to get rid of whiteheads, because the mask-wearing keeps producing new ones.
I'm in nursing school graduating soon to be an aesthetic nurse/RN. I have been a big fan of yours for a long time, thank you for all your content its very helpful! :)
How exciting that you’re graduating soon! A couple of my very best friends are nurses, it’s an amazing profession. You have such a great future ahead! 😍💜💜
Week 2 in the books. Doing cit once a month for my neck, and cosmetic on my face . I am 60. My TH-cam channel for tutorials will be my testament to your great advice.
Hi Penny Lovey all VD you post Very helpful. That why I followed you and bought the Dr Pen A7. I tried 10 days ago with 0.5 depth - level 6. All went very well and I saw my skin texture improved. So last nite I did the Cosmetic needling with 0.25 -level 6. I did 2 patch / each area . After that I washed the AHA off and put the moisture - whitening Mask sheet on 10’ . Wash it water again and add : Tranexic acid - growth Factor- Vita A- moisture. When I woke up , face a bit puffy. And idk why after I put my skin care routine my face feel so burn Compare with last time . Deeper depth . It was not this bad .
Hey Penn, after following your channel for so many years, I just invested in a Microneedling pen (The M8 and.... a myolift). I remembered I had seen this video so I did a deep dive into your playlist. I just wanted to say that I love how wholistic this regimine is as far as feeding your skin. In your future videos I hope to learn more about the objectives for the different needling depths and where the at home market should take caution. Thank you for your insight throughout the years! Heather, Sacramento ca
hi, I bought the book and its the best book ever! I saw your website and I have Dr pen M8. I plan to use HMWHA the one I have is from 800K - 1 mil Dalton, I think I will be ok in this range. And because microneedling in my country is very cheap, like up to max 80 euro per session and I will specifically ask for 0.5 and not above it, I decided not to do Medical needling at home, I will do the cosmetic one. I simply love and adore the benefits. The before and after pictures are amazing and out of this world and I will start with once per week, maybe go up to 2 times per week only at my eye-cheekbone area, BUT Im sad that this book doesn't talk about citric acid as peel, im not talking about other uses of citric acid. I saw a report about 50% citric acid, I did it on my face, no redness, my face had a HUGE glow the day after, yes glycolic acid is better more "effective" (depends what you want right?) BUT it has downsides, I mean Im not that impressed with glycolic acid to be honest with the before and after's I see, maybe with 50-70% yeah..... but you need the pro to do such things, not at home, no thanks, but because it is a HOME treatment I felt safer with the citric acid. I did use the neutralizer and everything and I wear every day sunscreen. So my question is this: how long after a monthly 50% concertation citric acid peel which I leave on for 5 min, can you do cosmetic needling? Like can you do it after a week? I plan to do 4-6 peels in one month intervals. As far as collagen and wrinkles, citric acid is pretty good from what I read, it does the job and some claim almost equal to other acids, again maybe NOT like glycolic acid and lactic acid the really high concertation dramatic change, but I think I will be happy with the before and after 3-6 peels. It does increases collagen..... it does the job! In my skin, I had no red ness, no flaking, no irritation, my skin went back to normal after few days (you know it does have a small sensitivity), I avoided my Bakuchiol and my enzymatic peeling for 3 days, and I avoided also my regular facial massage. My skin was pretty good and shining. In the sun, I did felt the intensity and I bought right away sunscreen. Citric acid might be the most gentle, but do not underestimate it, its doing the job! Too bad there is much less research on citric acid 50% and maybe even 70% concertation..... maybe younger skins, up to 40-45 years old would benefit with some home treatments without risking burning (again depends the skin) I mean I see all the time TCA at home peelings, no thanks for me! Im a chicken shit! lol I mean for some women who have the patience to do monthly intervals and fix more safely their skin.
I bought the Strivectrin at Costco and have been using it for about a month now. I love it! It’s better than the other bit C’s I have. Thank you for another great video! Exactly what I needed! You are the best!!!!
You are incredible! This is by far, in my opinion, your best video! It was very informative, I liked the step-by-step with specific products, and then I also loved the proof of the results! Well done 💕
Thanks again Penny! I was so worried I would break out but I gave it a go for cosmetic needling (I started with trying nano to get used to the device) no signs of infection, and already signs of improvement! I’m excited to try medical-needling in a week or so! 😊 such an exciting adventure!
I just found your channel tonight and after only watching two videos I subscribed. I love how you explain things and how calming your voice is. I ordered one of the products using your code.
@daisy hi there :) I’m not sure what happened here in this thread but to answer your question-so far this is the BEST GF I’ve found at an “affordable” price. Good news? This same brand has another version that is just less GF (but still excellent) and it’s around $30. I’ll come back with a link. Compare the two-there are differences-but it’s an excellent alternative! 💜
Dang..I guess now I gotta throw needling in the mix! 😆 Should I put my 1x week chemical exfoliants (Dennis Gross Max peel or Drunk Elephant Baby Facial) away if I start doing this 1x week? This feels more like infusion rather than exfoliation, is that correct?
I usually use the Drunk Elephant facial, 2 days before. I'm no expert, but after researching a bit I've heard that exfoliating the skin prior, helps the needle penetrate better. I was thinking of starting chemical peels, I'm thinking of alternating one week with the chemical peel and cosmetic needling.
Thank you for clarifying the microneedling once a week and other routines we can do I just love the importance of your values of skin it means alot to me...I just did finally the 15% TCA peel but after healing I will be microneedling once a week🙏😇thank you for all of your hard work...xoxo
Hi Penny! I’m a little confused, in another video regarding cosmetic micro needling, you only use HA and start serums the following day but in this video you use copper peptide and GF immediately following. Which do you recommend currently? Thank you so much for all your information!😘
Another video of someone with this and use more affordable and loss product? We would appreciate it so much because most of us we cannot afford to think that you mention
This is such great information! I am going to start this protocol tomorrow. Growth Factors are not feasible with my budget, but I will incorporate the rest of the products. So excited to start!
Amazing before and after photos!!! Super encouraging! I’ve been using my Dr. Pen once a month at 1.5-2. Now I’m going to incorporate this routine once a week. I’m super excited to see the results 🤗 Thank you for sharing and all you do to encourage so many 🤩❤️
PS ... I am new to TH-cam (compliments of Quarantine) and I just have to comment on how grateful I am not only for your knowledge but the tone & rhythm it’s delivered with ... I have such a hard time with some voices, tones and rhythms of speech ... not trying to be mean ... it’s just hard for me ..... this is meant as a compliment to you (not to put anyone else down) ... ♥️🙏🏻
Thank you, that’s really nice of you. I totally understand what you’re saying. It’s funny, it’s definitely something I’m aware of because there are times my own pitch, tone and pace are off and it’s hard to edit 😳 I have worked on this and I appreciate you noticing 😌
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I’m so grateful!! It’s so hard to get through it when it’s off ... good on you for being aware. Makes a huge difference. You’re #PitchPerfect 😉🥰
I LOVE Your videos I just wish I was in Portland Oregon instead of Brighton England cos I would def be a customer of yours .. I am micro needling with a derma pen and getting fantastic results
Thanks Penn, another fabulous video from you, prompting me to bring the Derma roller back out from hibernation since I bought my Dr Pen, and get into that weekly routine of cosmetic needling along with my monthly to six week routine of medical needling. I think using the .3mm roller will be an easier weekly task to follow than using up all my Pen cartridges. 💜🥰
Hello Penny thank you so much for your helpful videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or blog about microneedling on deeper body scars. My breast lift scars are very visible, and I have done 4 sessions so far, everything looks great. I just want to be sure i am doing everything the right way and your videos really beak it down how my brain needs it. Thanks.
Love microneedling!!! Huge difference after 6 mos of using regularly! I was surprised to get a bit of “pin point” bleeding at only .25 mm using my Dr Pen on my 👄 lips!
Hi Penny, thank you so much for this video! No questions left open this time, I’m very keen on getting that grow factors and some other stuff you mentioned and I will start! ❤️❤️❤️
Dear Penn! Thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful. 🥰Please answer my question: How long are the pores open after microneedling? It would be nice to know how quickly I should apply the products until they can penetrate deep into the pores. For me, it takes at least 10 minutes to dermaroll my face. Thank you very much for your answer. 💌
Wow, those before and after shots are impressive! I have a roller that I’m too scared to use, but I might invest in the pen and document my progress. Thanks Penn, as always, so brilliant 💕
That is so awesome! Make sure you take lots of pictures. And try if you can to take pictures maybe once a month and then in six months we can really examine the effects. How fun!
Thank you for the great content. I've always being scared of the roller… I don't like the idea of controlling the pressure to put myself on the skin. Also, I'm scared of using a tool with needles that might be dull or not perfectly sanitized. Pen was a logical choice for me.
You have provided me with such great skin care information that is helping to greatly improve my skin. Have added cosmetic needling and the mito pro series light panel to my regime. Skin transforming! Thank you!
Hi Penny, i love your videos, you said in this video, that you want to do 6 month cosmetic needling and make another video for your results, i couldn't find that result video.

I’ve started Nano needling about 3 x’s a week and I didn’t understand cosmetic needling verses regular microneedling- I’ve done 1 regular and due for my second this weekend- I will start this weekly and take pictures. My skin has already improved so much, wish I’d seen your videos years ago😍
🥰
This has got to be my favorite video to hype me up for using my Dr. PEN with all the fabulous products I can't stop myself from buying! The before and after pictures just absolutely take the cake. I commit myself to do cosmetic needling more consistently in the coming year so I can age backwards like those ladies!
Just a quick note to say I love your hair in this video!
Thank you so much!
I think there are two reasons why dermarollers are less popular now. I do believe that yes, the PENS helped that along. But here is my personal reason #2 for why I am switching to a Pen. Last time I used the dermaroller, I messed up and got a bit too aggressive with it, on the left side of my face where the sag is severe. When I realized the damage done, it was before doing the right side.
It was 100% my fault...slightly low light conditions too...not the roller's...but I quit microneedling 3 yrs ago after that mistake of mine. I still have faded visible pink scars on the left. I decided that I needed to resume microneedling, desperately...but using a less RIPPING/TEARING alternative. I trust the device, more than I trust myself🤔🤔🤔
Learned a lot. Going to get my act together and start on a regimen. Thank u
Make sure if you start with a dermaroller that you get one that has real individual needles. Gin Amber Beauty makes awesome rollers and products, and Koi on Amazon seems to have the real deal.
I need to get serious myself. I’m glad we have her as a source of info!
Thanks for the refresh/update, Penn. You turned me on to microneedling and it has changed my skin so much. You're wearing another great sweater!!! Earthtones really make your eyes pop (as if they needed it) :)
I love it, too!
I did cosmetic needling yesterday with .3 dermaroller and after immediately applied growth factor serum, copper peptide, and peptide rich night cream. My skin is glowing today! Look forward to this less is more approach as I will still medical needle every 4-6 weeks just not as deep as usual. Love all the educated information Penny shares with us!
Hi Misty ….can you tell me what growth factor you use as well as your Cooper Peptide? Everything listed on this video is no longer in stock. I was just wondering yours is different. I know this has been awhile but I’m new to cosmetic needling.
Thanks
Diana
@@dianasterner2269 you can find the growth factor on the sellers official ebay store www.ebay.com/itm/122799302501 when they are sold out on Amazon..
I use Dr. Pickart skin signals copper peptide spray..hope this helps!
What an AMAZING protocol, and one I know I'll be able to adopt. Gosh, what would I do without all your amazing information, recommendations and knowledge?!!?
You are just the sweetest my friend 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I got my Dr. Pen A6 because of your comparison video! Xoxox. LOVE, love ❤ my A6..so easy to use for the beginner or experienced!
You’re an incredible educator and esthetician my friend.
Oh my gosh, look who it is!! ❤️ You two are the best - I’ve learned so much from you both ⭐️⭐️
Geez I just saw this! Thank you Cody!!
Love both of you!
I’ve been staring at my timeless derma roller forever, but I’ve been scared to death to use it! 😅 Those case studies are impressive, but I’m nervous about the possibility of making my melasma worse. I heard there’s data on this, but I have to look into it more. Do you think there’s any validity to this? Thanks Penn (my go to skin guru 😘)
I have melasma and so does Penn. I heard it can help with melasma. It hasn’t made mine worse. Btw- I watch your channel!! Do you have any protocols that help your melasma?
If it's just cosmetic needling you'll probably be okay. But check out Davin Lim's YT channel, he is a worldwide expert on treating pigment and melasma. He does feel at certain depths with needling you do risk pushing pigment down further and making it harder to treat. Not everyone agrees with this. I believe melasma has more of a hormonal origin, but my local dermatologist has said even though hyperpigmentation comes from the sun the treatments for pigment and melasma are often the same.
Interestingly microneedling can either REALLY help melasma via better cellular cross talk (keratinocytes-melanocytes) OR.....
Make it worse bc of inflammation and heat (as in a hot flash type sitch that flares melasma).
So your fear is real. It’s a total crap shoot 🤨
You look angelic in this video. A good testament to cosmetic and medical microneedling 🤗
Awww! Thank you. To be fair-I do a lot to my skin. Lots of at home skincare but also in-office too. It’s quite cumulative for me. Cosmetic and MMN do have a big impact but they’re just a piece of the puzzle.
Thank you for your kindness ❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE It's amazing to follow you on your skincare journey, it just keeps getting better and it inspires us to do the same. I'm very thankful for the time and effort you put into your channel to share your knowledge with us🤗
I'm super excited! Today is January 12, 2024. Within the week I should have all of the product to do this protocol. I ended up getting Dr. Gross vitamin c serum and Paula's Choice toner for a better price. Hopefully you approve. Thank You Penn!
I love the honest comment about the dermaroller.
I could listen to Penny all day...so smart, so helpful so amazing!
Thank you so much Mary Lynn ❤️
I am interested to see your skin care regime for a week. You have so many wonderful tools, products, tips, tricks. How in the world do you balance them all? I want to put together a routine for myself but I have no clue where or how to start. I would love to hear the reasoning for your process and order of your use of products. We have so many options now and it’s too much to process sometimes. Seeing it in action by someone like your that KNOWS what your doing and understands the science of it would be amazing. I only found you recently, but I appreciate your change because of how you explain things. I respect how deeply you understand the products and how / why they would or would not work.
She has two am/pm routines posted 8 months ago. I can't remember if they included microneedling though. I think they didn't.
But she's only recommending the cosmetic microneedling once a week, at night, so I guess that would be easy enough to fit in with those routines.
UK guy here, great content in your vids, your advice on micro needling has helped me understand how to carry out each of the 3 interventions safely!
Thank you so much for your time, knowledge and for giving a 48 year old Yorkshire man new to looking after his skin the confidence to give it a go!
Thanks again and keep up the fantastic work you do it’s much appreciated. Dean from Huddersfield, UK ❤
Hi!! Thank you for being here!
I’m so happy to be helpful 😍💙
How have I not found you sooner, brilliantly explained & full of super information,
Thank you! How kind!!
I’m glad you found me 🥰
I am going to give this a go! As i have a dermaroller I wasnt brave enough to use even tough I watch your older videos about this topic. I love your content
Omg, where have you been all my last years!,, I just bought the Dr. Pen so I better watch more how to do it right.
Love this video! Going to start cosmetic needling immediately!
Super helpful video! I love how you explain everything Penny! ❤️
Thank you friend ❤️
Have watched this more than 5 times
Just watched twice and did the needling for my 1st time ever. Great video. Helped me a lot! I did have to reapply the hyaluronic acid during the procedure. I was a little slow. I can't wait to see what results I will get. I turned 50 in February and want to take my skincare a step further. THANK YOU for your inspiration! You are a blessing to all of us!
Hello beauty! Love the lumify eyes, I got and love that stuff! I had professional MN today with my plasma. It's way different than doing it at home my face is beat up! She did before and after pics with the bright light and over the last year by following your recommendations, my skin is actually BETTER!!!! Nothing makes me happier since I am entering into my last year in the 50's. Hugs and love 💜
I got my Dr pen a year ago or more and I’ve been scared to use it. Used to get professional intense needling + TCA peels monthly. I’m going to start with cosmetic needling at least once a week and go over it with a glycolic acid peel. I know how my skin reacts to needling and the glycolic peel and my goal is for the needling to help the glycolic acid penetrate deeper for collagen and elastin stimulation 🙏🏻😁
those before and Afters are amazing!! I just started my journey at 41. I have 2 autoimmune diseases that effect collagen production. I am so excited to see what my results will be. Thank you for so many helpful videos and blogs full of information.
Tiffany I am curious to know if you tried needling and how your skin reacted. I have undiagnosed connective tissue disorder which my doctor says is possibly lupus. I want to try needling but I am worried since everywhere I have researched it is not recommended for people with autoimmune diseases.
@@rdigvonni Oh I'm so sorry, my aunt had lupus. So I have not had any reactions or issues come up but I am also very careful when I choose to do it and how. If I feel like I'm in a bad flare I usually wait until it passes. I started only using the hyaluronic acid and was very conservative with what serums, moisturizers and stuff I used during and after. I have sensitive skin already so I just wanted to be careful until I knew how my skin would react. I also don't do the deeper settings as often. I have had no issues with nano needling and would highly recommend starting there to see how your skin takes the treatment. Copper peptides, hyaluronic acid and a gentle moisturizer was enough for me personally starting out. It took me about 2-3 months before I noticed significant results but I was also not 💯 with how often I did it. Great thing about nano is you can do it more often with almost no down time. Even the deeper settings my face was fine the next day except for some dryness. I had some lines around my mouth and forehead that I hated and they all but disappeared so it works! I think you also need to be aware that if you are on any medication that could have an effect on your skin like steroids you may want to wait until your treatment is done and your body has had time to recover. Again, I would just recommend starting with micro or nano needling and very few products. You could also just try a patch on your arm or something to see how your skin reacts. I have psoriasis so I do make sure not to needle over any red patches. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Autoimmune issues do a number on your skin so I understand your reservations and concerns.
@Tiffany-Rose Thank you so much for responding. I have looked all over social media and the internet for information on this and I can't find anything or anyone who has shared an experience. I have an appointment with a dermatologist, but they could not get me in till February of 2024. I will definitely start with nano needling first.
@@rdigvonni Yeah I had the same problem so I just crossed my fingers and hoped for the best! 🤞😂 I always find with my skin the conservative approach in the beginning is usually best. Better safe than sorry. I'm sorry you have to wait so long but I wish you luck at your appointment! Again if you have any questions just let me know. 👍
Your eyes are stunning! You got extra blessed!
I think it’s amazing how professional people like your self how you see us doing all these procedures and you come on here and give us advise and tutorials on and when to carry out what we need more important what we don’t honestly don’t know what we would do without yourself and other professionals spending your time to explaine what to do when and how to do it safely your a god send big thank you
Julie
Ahhh thank you Julie! So kind! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday 💜
❤👍😍 Thanks Penny! Although I like to do medical microneedling (thanks to you!), I got out of the habit of cosmetic needling. This video has been great and helped me start again!
THANK YOU for this video!! I did a very deep medical needling 3 days ago - how long should I wait before I start the cosmetic needling? Bless you Penny for giving this information so freely! Those photos you showed at the end of this video are amazing!! 🥰
I love this. Where are all the LIKES tho. Give this woman a 👍🏼 everyone !!
Thank you April ❤️
I absolutely love your device reviews and protocols. I've not been absolutely sure how/how often to use the Dr Pen for cosmetic needling, and so avoided it. But now I'm definitely going to give it a try. A request: discuss methods to get rid of whiteheads, because the mask-wearing keeps producing new ones.
I'm in nursing school graduating soon to be an aesthetic nurse/RN. I have been a big fan of yours for a long time, thank you for all your content its very helpful! :)
How exciting that you’re graduating soon! A couple of my very best friends are nurses, it’s an amazing profession.
You have such a great future ahead! 😍💜💜
Week 2 in the books. Doing cit once a month for my neck, and cosmetic on my face . I am 60. My TH-cam channel for tutorials will be my testament to your great advice.
Hi Penny
Lovey all VD you post
Very helpful. That why I followed you and bought the Dr Pen
A7. I tried 10 days ago with 0.5 depth - level 6. All went very well and I saw my skin texture improved. So last nite I did the Cosmetic needling with 0.25 -level 6. I did 2 patch / each area . After that I washed the AHA off and put the moisture - whitening Mask sheet on 10’ . Wash it water again and add : Tranexic acid - growth Factor- Vita A- moisture.
When I woke up , face a bit puffy.
And idk why after I put my skin care routine my face feel so burn
Compare with last time . Deeper depth . It was not this bad .
Legend. Best channel on microneedling.
Hey Penn, after following your channel for so many years, I just invested in a Microneedling pen (The M8 and.... a myolift). I remembered I had seen this video so I did a deep dive into your playlist. I just wanted to say that I love how wholistic this regimine is as far as feeding your skin.
In your future videos I hope to learn more about the objectives for the different needling depths and where the at home market should take caution.
Thank you for your insight throughout the years!
Heather, Sacramento ca
hi, I bought the book and its the best book ever! I saw your website and I have Dr pen M8. I plan to use HMWHA the one I have is from 800K - 1 mil Dalton, I think I will be ok in this range.
And because microneedling in my country is very cheap, like up to max 80 euro per session and I will specifically ask for 0.5 and not above it, I decided not to do Medical needling at home, I will do the cosmetic one. I simply love and adore the benefits. The before and after pictures are amazing and out of this world and I will start with once per week, maybe go up to 2 times per week only at my eye-cheekbone area, BUT
Im sad that this book doesn't talk about citric acid as peel, im not talking about other uses of citric acid. I saw a report about 50% citric acid, I did it on my face, no redness, my face had a HUGE glow the day after, yes glycolic acid is better more "effective" (depends what you want right?) BUT it has downsides, I mean Im not that impressed with glycolic acid to be honest with the before and after's I see, maybe with 50-70% yeah..... but you need the pro to do such things, not at home, no thanks, but because it is a HOME treatment I felt safer with the citric acid. I did use the neutralizer and everything and I wear every day sunscreen.
So my question is this: how long after a monthly 50% concertation citric acid peel which I leave on for 5 min, can you do cosmetic needling? Like can you do it after a week?
I plan to do 4-6 peels in one month intervals.
As far as collagen and wrinkles, citric acid is pretty good from what I read, it does the job and some claim almost equal to other acids, again maybe NOT like glycolic acid and lactic acid the really high concertation dramatic change, but I think I will be happy with the before and after 3-6 peels. It does increases collagen..... it does the job!
In my skin, I had no red ness, no flaking, no irritation, my skin went back to normal after few days (you know it does have a small sensitivity), I avoided my Bakuchiol and my enzymatic peeling for 3 days, and I avoided also my regular facial massage. My skin was pretty good and shining.
In the sun, I did felt the intensity and I bought right away sunscreen. Citric acid might be the most gentle, but do not underestimate it, its doing the job!
Too bad there is much less research on citric acid 50% and maybe even 70% concertation..... maybe younger skins, up to 40-45 years old would benefit with some home treatments without risking burning (again depends the skin) I mean I see all the time TCA at home peelings, no thanks for me! Im a chicken shit! lol I mean for some women who have the patience to do monthly intervals and fix more safely their skin.
Your channel is wonderful, thanks for sharing your precious knowledge! Love from France🇫🇷❤️
I bought the Strivectrin at Costco and have been using it for about a month now. I love it! It’s better than the other bit C’s I have. Thank you for another great video! Exactly what I needed! You are the best!!!!
You are incredible! This is by far, in my opinion, your best video! It was very informative, I liked the step-by-step with specific products, and then I also loved the proof of the results! Well done 💕
Love your videos, you are my skincare guru, would love to have some more affordable skincare options please 🥰
Thanks again Penny! I was so worried I would break out but I gave it a go for cosmetic needling (I started with trying nano to get used to the device) no signs of infection, and already signs of improvement! I’m excited to try medical-needling in a week or so! 😊 such an exciting adventure!
I just found your channel tonight and after only watching two videos I subscribed. I love how you explain things and how calming your voice is. I ordered one of the products using your code.
Thank you so much! So happy to have you here!
Hi Penn, is there a more economical choice for a growth factor, even 70 bucks for an ounce is expensive for some?, thanks love.
@daisy hi there :)
I’m not sure what happened here in this thread but to answer your question-so far this is the BEST GF I’ve found at an “affordable” price.
Good news? This same brand has another version that is just less GF (but still excellent) and it’s around $30. I’ll come back with a link. Compare the two-there are differences-but it’s an excellent alternative!
💜
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Oh that would be so great, I need gf in my routine, thank you so much Penny.
Following for the growth factor link 😊
Dang..I guess now I gotta throw needling in the mix! 😆 Should I put my 1x week chemical exfoliants (Dennis Gross Max peel or Drunk Elephant Baby Facial) away if I start doing this 1x week? This feels more like infusion rather than exfoliation, is that correct?
I usually use the Drunk Elephant facial, 2 days before. I'm no expert, but after researching a bit I've heard that exfoliating the skin prior, helps the needle penetrate better. I was thinking of starting chemical peels, I'm thinking of alternating one week with the chemical peel and cosmetic needling.
Thank you for this, I look forward to your 6 month follow up with doing .25 once a week. 😀
Thank you for clarifying the microneedling once a week and other routines we can do I just love the importance of your values of skin it means alot to me...I just did finally the 15% TCA peel but after healing I will be microneedling once a week🙏😇thank you for all of your hard work...xoxo
I adore you! Thank you so much for your time and energy. These tips are necessary at my age.
So helpful and professional. Penny you are a star!
I just found your channel and subscribed! I’m in love with this channel. I am learning so much. Thank you so much for teaching us so much!
Hi Penny! I’m a little confused, in another video regarding cosmetic micro needling, you only use HA and start serums the following day but in this video you use copper peptide and GF immediately following. Which do you recommend currently? Thank you so much for all your information!😘
I’m FINALLY going to buy the Dr. Pen! Thanks Penny!
You are a hero and i am so grateful for your videos!
Another video of someone with this and use more affordable and loss product? We would appreciate it so much because most of us we cannot afford to think that you mention
You’re the best Penn! Love this video - I’ll be adding this to my beauty schedule. Thank you😘
This is such great information! I am going to start this protocol tomorrow. Growth Factors are not feasible with my budget, but I will incorporate the rest of the products. So excited to start!
After watching you I think I can do this I’ve always been afraid derma rollers are micro needling. Thank you and love your videos
Amazing before and after photos!!! Super encouraging! I’ve been using my Dr. Pen once a month at 1.5-2. Now I’m going to incorporate this routine once a week. I’m super excited to see the results 🤗 Thank you for sharing and all you do to encourage so many 🤩❤️
I always enjoy your videos Penn! 💜 The before & afters are very impressive.
PS ... I am new to TH-cam (compliments of Quarantine) and I just have to comment on how grateful I am not only for your knowledge but the tone & rhythm it’s delivered with ... I have such a hard time with some voices, tones and rhythms of speech ... not trying to be mean ... it’s just hard for me ..... this is meant as a compliment to you (not to put anyone else down) ... ♥️🙏🏻
Thank you, that’s really nice of you. I totally understand what you’re saying. It’s funny, it’s definitely something I’m aware of because there are times my own pitch, tone and pace are off and it’s hard to edit 😳
I have worked on this and I appreciate you noticing 😌
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE I’m so grateful!! It’s so hard to get through it when it’s off ... good on you for being aware. Makes a huge difference. You’re #PitchPerfect 😉🥰
Interesting to see the results- 4 more months to wait!!
This is extremely interesting. I think I may give this a go.
Great informative video. I finally got an A6 now to get brave enough to use it!😀💖 Thanks Penny!
Wow oh my God finally the answer I was looking for...Thank you Penn
Sorry I re read and I was wrong. It does say before and afters case studies. A new subscriber 💋❤️
I LOVE Your videos I just wish I was in Portland Oregon instead of Brighton England cos I would def be a customer of yours .. I am micro needling with a derma pen and getting fantastic results
your skin is gorgeous! I think I need that pen.. and copper peptide. great video
Thank you especially for including info on rollers!
I have just put this weekly procedure in my goals journal. Thank you
Thanks Penn, another fabulous video from you, prompting me to bring the Derma roller back out from hibernation since I bought my Dr Pen, and get into that weekly routine of cosmetic needling along with my monthly to six week routine of medical needling. I think using the .3mm roller will be an easier weekly task to follow than using up all my Pen cartridges. 💜🥰
I am on piax for a stroke will it affect my skin if I do needling gently
Another amazing video Penny!!! The pictures you included are awesome & impressive! I am joining u are Cosmetic needling once a week for 6 months!! 💜
Hello Penny thank you so much for your helpful videos. I was wondering if you could make a video or blog about microneedling on deeper body scars. My breast lift scars are very visible, and I have done 4 sessions so far, everything looks great. I just want to be sure i am doing everything the right way and your videos really beak it down how my brain needs it.
Thanks.
Love microneedling!!! Huge difference after 6 mos of using regularly! I was surprised to get a bit of “pin point” bleeding at only .25 mm using my Dr Pen on my 👄 lips!
Hi Penny, thank you so much for this video! No questions left open this time, I’m very keen on getting that grow factors and some other stuff you mentioned and I will start! ❤️❤️❤️
My Dr. Pen just came in!!!! 😍
So what is the difference between cosmetic and nano needling? Also you do not need to put alcohol on skin for cleansing??
Dear Penn! Thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful. 🥰Please answer my question: How long are the pores open after microneedling? It would be nice to know how quickly I should apply the products until they can penetrate deep into the pores. For me, it takes at least 10 minutes to dermaroll my face. Thank you very much for your answer. 💌
Hi Penny! Thank you for doing this with us..I am going to start this tonight.. Love ya Wendy
Wow, those before and after shots are impressive! I have a roller that I’m too scared to use, but I might invest in the pen and document my progress. Thanks Penn, as always, so brilliant 💕
As usual an awesome information packed video. What I really need to know is the color and brand of that nail polish!💕
Yay!! My roller will be delivered Monday. I’m going to do this along with you for 6 months!!
That is so awesome! Make sure you take lots of pictures. And try if you can to take pictures maybe once a month and then in six months we can really examine the effects. How fun!
Penny so this I should do once a wk? Or once a month?
Thank you for the great content. I've always being scared of the roller… I don't like the idea of controlling the pressure to put myself on the skin. Also, I'm scared of using a tool with needles that might be dull or not perfectly sanitized. Pen was a logical choice for me.
You have provided me with such great skin care information that is helping to greatly improve my skin. Have added cosmetic needling and the mito pro series light panel to my regime. Skin transforming! Thank you!
WoW this is some video, Ms Smith! ☺️ So full of great info and guidance and it just so happens to be *everything* I was wanting to know. Thank you! 🙌
You are so welcome!
Hi Penny, i love your videos, you said in this video, that you want to do 6 month cosmetic needling and make another video for your results, i couldn't find that result video.
