Disclaimer & Important Update (as of 9-22-24): I just learned today that the FDA is currently conducting a post-market review of microneedling devices. From what I just discovered, it appears that only nano needle cartridges are permitted for consumer use; other cartridges are classified as prescription-only and available only to licensed healthcare professionals. Many websites (including Amazon and AliExpress) have stopped selling these products to consumers in the USA, and Temu is the last storefront offering them. I recently bought some supplies from Temu but they will likely stop selling these things very soon. This video was posted a long time ago when at-home treatments were widely accepted and normal. For full details and updates, please subscribe, check my website www.lifeanddiy.com and follow me on Reddit - as I will post full details and updates.
This pen is awesome, I got mine few months back. The company has the best customer service and they stand behind their products and care about their customers. Highly recommended this pen , I use it before I use my sheet mask to get the maximum benefit of it. And you can use it with Vitamin C serum to have the glowing skin in the next day and eventually lighten your dark spot in your skin.
I watch a lot of skin-care youtube videos, and your videos are extremely well done. You speak from experience and most importantly, integrity. Thank you.
I just purchased the Dr. Pen M8. I also ordered the Deminuage nano pen. So excited to start. I am 55 and want to stay looking young. Thank you for your video! Your skin is flawless!
Aww thank you! I am super excited for you getting both of those pens! They are both incredible. I really hope you have great results too. I am about to post another nano needling video - where I solely used the Deminuage pen and took before and after photos after 3 weeks. Thank you for your sweet comment!
Good morning my Holly! 🥰 I’m actually finding some time to come visit you. This is an awesome video! You really could be on television you know? Your skin glows!!
When can I use nanoneedling between the healing circle of microneedling for skincare penetration? Maybe a week after the microneedling session? And why nanoneedling is better for skincare penetration than a 36 cartige in 0.25mm that supposedly does the same thing? 🤔❤️
With the doctor pen A 6 you just have to turn the knob to get the needles to show up at the top so they won’t show up if you don’t do that but it is either zero or 2.5 that gets them to pop out of the top. I have found the doctor pen to be fine and I’m sure the other one is good too. I’m a little confused as to why you said it doesn’t touch the surface and you didn’t explain that you turn the pen.
@@Gogo-kc1xg Awesome! I am planning to delve into Micro Needling this spring once the super cold, dry winter season passes and my skin is a little less irritable. I'll keep you posted.
Hi Holly. Boy, do I have questions! As a 71-year-old man, I've been thinking about trying needling as a regenerative response to aging skin. What would you recommend: micro- or nano-needling? I've got some skin-care samples from "Alive by Science" to test out, I got their Renue lotion, cream, and serum. Would you recommend using these products with needling? Finally, what product would you recommend? I've tried rollers but I'm now thinking about a pen. Thanks for providing such great videos.
Hey Lance! If you want the best results, I would go with microneedling with a pen at home. You may want to check out Penny's videos (Penn Smith Skincare) as she is an expert and teaches how to do it safely at home. It is only recommended to use a good hyaluronic acid serum when needling at home with a pen - just to be extra safe. If you ever did nano needling though, then it is safe to use almost any products. :)
Thanks Carsten! That is awesome! If you bought the Deminuage...it is really a great product. I've been using it a lot lately and it is really doing great things for my skin. :) I hope you had a nice Christmas by the way!
Forgot to ask--how long do you nano needle--5mins? Also, Holly, I suggest ordering the nano needles only from dr pen usa. It's authentic. Not always so with Amazon sellers if you purchased from Amazon
Thanks Michelle. I try to order from the website whenever possible for this very reason! I ordered my pen on their site as well, though I do know where they sell on Amazon. Also, for the nano needling - it usually takes 5 to 10 minutes if I do my neck and sometimes hands too. Really it can be done in 5 mins. though. :)
Holly You are full of love, my dear, 2020 has become a nightmare for people. I hope your beautiful soul will not be affected by this. I love you my dear, the most beautiful cell of my heart.
I just discovered your channel. I wanted to see nano needling from another point of view. I was just wondering if you used your A6 with a different cartridge that is not damaged and was able to get a good result. I own the M8 and it does a great job. I do see where you are coming from in the eye area. It is hard to get in there with a larger cartridge. I just don’t want to throw more money at another device when I purchased the M8 to do everything with the appropriate cartridge. Great information! Wish we could all have your skin. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I will put in an order for some new nano needles today - as I have not tried any other ones yet and I need to. I need to know if the other ones will work and how they work compared to this pen. I will do an upcoming video on it too. Thanks for reminding me! I still love the Deminuage for the size and quality though and love that I can get it way under the eye area. I wish the Dr. Pen made tinier cartridges. But, I totally understand not wanting to buy extra items if they aren't needed. I need to figure this out! :) Thank you for the nice comment. I just did an updated Nano needling video where I shared my before and after results (after 3 weeks of use). :)
Do you have a link for the serums you've tested and are mostly non irritant to most. Would like to get that for the people who needle phobic. Thank you.
Question 🙋🏻♂️ Can you use Naturopathica Sweet Cherry Brightening Enzyme Peel? Instead of the pumpkin? I looked it up on the Yuka app…it’s rated 72/100. Love your videos by the way!! Also totally recommend Yuka if you don’t already have it 😊
Yes, that sounds like an amazing peel! The only thing I'd watch out for is fragrance, but if it doesn't irritate your skin or bother you, it looks like a really nice product. I've been really curious about that brand. I am downloading the Yuka app now. Thank you!
@@LifeDIY Ok, cool! I’m definitely going to get it and see what happens. Omg you’re going to LOVE the Yuka app! Never been one to gate keep, I’m excited for you, and of course! Your videos have literally changed my skin in ways that I didn’t even know were possible, so thank you!
Thank you for this video…I learned so much!! In your opinion would the deminuage help to firm as well or is it just for skin tone and brightening? The micro needling seems very intense…I’m hoping the deminuage will give positive results. Thank you!!
Thanks! So glad the video was helpful! I am doing another video on Nanoneedling now and it should be posted this week. Regarding skin firming - I really think you are correct that it's more for skin tone and brightening and also for the pores and can help with some sunspots. Maybe it's possible for a bit more firming if done with the deeper nano cartridges. :)
Hi, I used a hydra pen 2, I used hyaluron 6000 serum, bought from ksisters, and I still had marks the next day, and I felt burning... What serum would be best to use, 🙏🙏
The Dr. Pen tip is 20mm wide. I cannot find specs on the Deminuage tip. Could you tell me the width, please? It may be the deciding factor on which brand that I purchase! I am also really considering the Hydrapen H3. Which would you advise?
Great question. I'm not sure! It could cause some irritation. Maybe I should try it someday. If you were to do that, just be sure to wash it off thoroughly. Microneedling can be done once a month and nano needling can be done a few times a week. :)
Hello 👋! That was So helpful! 💕🧡 I’ve been looking at Dr Pen for nano needling & maybe going deeper later but have resisted so far!! I’ve been enjoying regular rollers but would like to upgrade 😊. The rollers have issues ... thanks so much. Loooove your outdoor pictures on IG.
Olina, hi! I am so glad the video was helpful. I too started out with derma rolling a long time ago. It is great. But, nano needling is amazing also. If you ever have questions, please let me know! Also, thank you so much for the comment about the IG photos! I want to keep posting more on there! 💜 I hope you have a great day! :))
I just today, found your site and subscribed. I hope you will reply to my question. I have watched your before and after video for micro needling and the results are wonderful. So my question is this, if you were just starting out, and knew the processes of both products, would you only used the nano needling, or would you use both? I want to purchase the correct product for the most effective results and I believe you are very credible.
Hi Charlotte! Than you so much for subscribing! I am glad you saw the microneedling video. To answer your question, I would say microneedling with the pen is most effective at getting results the fastest, though it does take time. I think all the other things you do to take care of your skin make a big difference too. And, I also recommend peels in between the needling - lower strength glycolic or other peels. But, I think the nano needling is good for doing in between other more invasive methods (ie: full microneedling) and it can also be ideal for people who aren't ready or comfortable doing microneedling with the pen at home. It's a good place to start. I hope that makes sense!
@@LifeDIY Thank you so much for replying. I will order both. Will the the nano needling help with the lips? Would it be ok to use the nano needling on the eyelids?
Fantastic video! I have given you negative reviews before, but I always felt you would get better. You did your research and knew what you were talking about. But you would forget important things, before and afters, etc. However, you are truly doing a great job at explaining what the product is, what the goal is, what it is used for, how to use, comparing to other favorite tx, and ultimately the outcomes. I have not searched for your videos on serums, creams etc. products you like and don't like añ when to us, like and don't like, plus when do you use them. Thank you for being you!! I don't know you at all, but I am quickly becoming a huge fan! Thank you for giving me a bit of hope with products that won't break the bank!! (PS, I started sprouting because I watched one of your videos 😊)
Terri, thank you so much for the nice comment! I am really working at improving my content and being much more thorough. It's been difficult lately as I've been busy with my work. But, I love creating content on here. So I really appreciate that feedback. I always want to get better. So thank you! I love your honesty! :) I also think that is really awesome you began sprouting because of me! I have taken a little break from it but you just reminded me to make some more! I will start it today. I hope you have a great weekend coming up! If you ever need anything, let me know!
Okey I have a weird question😃 I am using derma pen on my chickenpox scar, but the scar is very small and I can’t really work on it. It is always touches around the scar and only little bit touches to actual scar. Do you think is it going to be helpful ?
Is the scar near something where it's hard to get the pen in there? If so, then I think this would be a good option for sure. I wish the regular Dr. Pens would sell smaller tipped cartridges.
Hey there - I know you used TCA peels, microneedling, and retinoids for your amazing results. Can you please tell me how do you time all of these in your routine since they can't be used together? Thank you!!
For me, I really prefer the serum by Deminuage. It's thickness is perfect. I haven't had much luck with other serums other than one hyaluronic serum by Cos De Baha and that worked well because it was thicker also.
I have the Dr. Pen and nano seems to work ok. Do you reuse the nano tips or discard them like needle tips? I just heard in a beauty group that some people sterilize and reuse them since they’re not sharp. What do you think?
Hi Anita! Good to know about the dr. pen and nano needling. I have not reused them but to be honest, I can see people doing that for sure (just like they sterilize dermarollers). I could definitely understand the appeal and understand why people might do it. I know it would probably never be recommended, but I think it makes some sense. People usually soak their dermarollers in alcohol, so I could see them doing the same thing with these tips. I have not done that before. You got me thinking about it though. :)
What is the difference between the different chips Deminuage offers? They have Booster Nano Chips, Daily Nano Chips, Zip Booster Nano Chips. Not sure which to get.
Hi Brenda - the daily ones are standard and the booster ones go a bit deeper. I prefer the daily ones and I like the booster ones for use once a week. Sorry I don't know much about the zip booster chips - but it sounds like they are even deeper.
I always see hyla- acid as the serum to use after needling but it most def certainly burns my face lmao. What else can I use? Aloe Vera ? Maybe peptides since they may be able to permeate the skin after needling
If microneedling, I am not sure what would be safe. If I couldn't use HA, I would probably use just water sprayed on my face. But, I am just being extra cautious and I know when people get this done in an office by a professional, they often use serums with peptides, etc. I need to do more research on it.
Howdy Holly😁🙋🏼♀️ Another great video❣️ I would like to try the one with the brightening serum. For my freckles😁. Does nano needling give you dry skin in the days after using it like microneedling?
Angela, thank you! A brightening serum is perfect to use with nano needling. I forgot to mention the kit with the Deminuage pen has a great brightening serum. About dry skin - that sometimes happens for me after nano needling, but not every time. I am surprised that it does happen though as it seems so noninvasive. But, the last time I nano needled I had a bit of dry flaky skin the next day. It was fine once I used a good serum and moisturizer though. :)
@@avenus684 Awesome! I really like their serum. For dry skin, I am obsessed with the Dr. Jart Ceramidin liquid (and their cream is amazing too) but I feel like the liquid is more effective. It's a little pricey, but it lasts me about six months. It's absolutely incredible for dry skin. I have never found anything better. Then, after using that, if my skin is still dry (and it's nighttime) I will use a Nivea cream on my face too. Otherwise lately I have been using the IT Cosmetics face cream and it's great as well. :)
@@avenus684 awesome! Let me know if you like it. If you get it, I hope you love it. My skin is getting so dry again and I just ran out. And, though I said it lasted me 6 months..I just checked and it actually lasted 8 months somehow! :) I am definitely going to re-buy it!
I bought this nano system, but it does zero for me. I am thinking about going to send it back and just purchase nano cartridges for my Pen. Idk. I do not feel ANYTHING when I use the nano pen. Maybe I will give it more time...
Hi Terri! It's normal to not feel anything with the daily nano cartridges, but it doesn't mean it isn't helping your skin. It is creating microscopic channels. You could also try their Grand Booster cartridge if you want to feel it and get more pronounced or faster results. :)
Can I do nano needling with micro needling needles, too? When I set the pen on 0.1 mm it's the same depths as the nano needles go. I really don't understand why I have to buy extra needles for doing nano needling.
Hi Franzi! I get what you're saying. I still haven't had any luck with the Dr. Pen nano cartridges. I know if you did use a normal microneedling cartridge but at the lowest depth possible, it is an option. I have not tried it yet. The nano tips on the cartridges specifically made for nano needling are super tiny little pyramids that you can hardly see and they do not cause any pain. I think it would be worth trying it your way. I may do this in the near future. So thanks for the suggestion. I feel like I wouldn't want to waste a regular cartridge on nano needling, but either way it will cost money if you use a nano cartridge or Dr. Pen cartridge. So, thank you for this idea. :) If you try it, let me know how it goes. Otherwise I will try it too. I will try to do some research into it as well.
I’m trying to get the courage to buy the Dr Pen on Amazon with the link u gave but it has a lot of bad reviews! People keep saying the pen just stops working I don’t want to spend that money for it to not work! Has your pen had any problems
Hi Kirsen! I was so surprised to hear about the bad reviews. I haven't checked the listing in a little while. At first I noticed they have almost a 5 star rating, but then the first reviews that show up are the top 3 bad ones! So, I totally understand your concerns. For me, I have had the pen for almost two years and it has been working really well with no issues. I only used it plugged in though. I feel like it isn't as strong when using it with just the battery, not plugged in. I think I will try to contact the owner directly now to ask him about his return/replacement policy as I am not really updated on that. Usually Amazon is really good about allowing returns, though there are some companies that don't allow it. I will try to find out and let you know what I hear back.
Love your question! This is a tough one. :) I think glycolic peels in general are my #1 favorite. TCA Peels next for the best results. Microneedling & nano needling. I love the nano needling as it is great for maintenance and for overall improvements in the skin. But the other methods are my favorite as they can create some great results & work deeper into the skin. I love each one for different reasons though.
Maybe mildly effective. I think it might not be a good idea to do it without serum as it helps the pen glide too. I think it is pretty important to use serum while nano needling.
@@LifeDIYI used a hydra pen 2, I used hyaluron 6000 serum, bought from ksisters, and I still had marks the next day, and I felt burning... What else would be best to use, 🙏🙏
Yes definitely. And, I forgot to mention that experts often say it can also be used on the lips as well, whereas regularly microneedling should not be done on them.
Thanks! I just do peels at times and microneedling. I have videos sharing the results of both of those! TCA peels are strong and very effective, though I rarely do them. I plan to do one coming up. They can really reverse some signs of aging in the skin. I have all my skincare treatment results on: www.lifeanddiy.com - hope it helps!

You can use it anytime after nano needling. If you use a deeper cartridge (Deminuage sells Booster cartridges), then I would wait a couple hours or only do that one at night. But the daily cartridges are great too and I love using them in the morning, applying skincare and makeup right away.
I have the Rezenerate Nanotechnology pen. It’s the original and I believe it’s made in the United States. The quality is superior to other brands and the tips are made in a clean room not unlike microchips.

You have to turn the Dr pen to at least 2.0 after it’s placed on the Dr pen for nano

Highly recommended this pen , I use it before I use my sheet mask to get the maximum benefit of it.

What serum would be best to use,
🙏🙏
I microneedled about 6 days ago. How long would you personally wait before a nano-needle treatment?
I didn't have success with Dr.Pen too(((
Hi, so using the dr.pen a6 ultima,it should be set at 2.5mm right? I tried to follow the .25mm, it’s not touching my skin.
Same with me. I think there are fake ones

I think all the other things you do to take care of your skin make a big difference too. And, I also recommend peels in between the needling - lower strength glycolic or other peels. But, I think the nano needling is good for doing in between other more invasive methods (ie: full microneedling) and it can also be ideal for people who aren't ready or comfortable doing microneedling with the pen at home. It's a good place to start. I hope that makes sense!
@@LifeDIY Thank you so much for replying. I will order both. Will the the nano needling help with the lips? Would it be ok to use the nano needling on the eyelids?
@@CH-qz3bj You are welcome! I think the nano needling can help with the lips. And, it is ok to nano needle on the eyelids too!
Fantastic video! I have given you negative reviews before, but I always felt you would get better. You did your research and knew what you were talking about. But you would forget important things, before and afters, etc. However, you are truly doing a great job at explaining what the product is, what the goal is, what it is used for, how to use, comparing to other favorite tx, and ultimately the outcomes. I have not searched for your videos on serums, creams etc. products you like and don't like añ when to us, like and don't like, plus when do you use them. Thank you for being you!!
I don't know you at all, but I am quickly becoming a huge fan! Thank you for giving me a bit of hope with products that won't break the bank!! (PS, I started sprouting because I watched one of your videos 😊)
Terri, thank you so much for the nice comment! I am really working at improving my content and being much more thorough. It's been difficult lately as I've been busy with my work. But, I love creating content on here. So I really appreciate that feedback. I always want to get better. So thank you! I love your honesty! :) I also think that is really awesome you began sprouting because of me! I have taken a little break from it but you just reminded me to make some more! I will start it today. I hope you have a great weekend coming up! If you ever need anything, let me know!
Okey I have a weird question😃 I am using derma pen on my chickenpox scar, but the scar is very small and I can’t really work on it.
It is always touches around the scar and only little bit touches to actual scar. Do you think is it going to be helpful ?
Is the scar near something where it's hard to get the pen in there? If so, then I think this would be a good option for sure. I wish the regular Dr. Pens would sell smaller tipped cartridges.
@@LifeDIY yeah definitely smaller cartridges would be really helpful.
Can I use the nano needling everyday?
Hey there - I know you used TCA peels, microneedling, and retinoids for your amazing results. Can you please tell me how do you time all of these in your routine since they can't be used together? Thank you!!
Thank you! I am going to try to do a video on this asap!
@@LifeDIY did you maie video about how to incorporate them ?
What serums do you recommend when nano needling
For me, I really prefer the serum by Deminuage. It's thickness is perfect. I haven't had much luck with other serums other than one hyaluronic serum by Cos De Baha and that worked well because it was thicker also.
What’s the difference between nano needling and 0.2mm needling?
Love your channel! Can you share your hair care routine your hair is gorgeous!!!!!
Thank you Ali! I am going to try to post one really soon!
Mam i have boxer scars on my all over face, so can i use microneedling 2.5 everyday? Or how many days will gape after one session?
I’m peeling a little from my tretinoin.Is it ok to nano needle today?
Hi quick question please, can one Nano needling with the Cos De BAHA (VA) Vitamin C 15% Ascorbic acid?
What depth should i use in nano ?
What is better to use for you dark circles under the eyes? Nano or micro needling? I assume nano needling?
Which serum did you mention from The Ordinary?
The Buffet!
And what else please from the ordinary? I have hyaluronic acid and B5 but i don t like it and wich sérum for vitamin C please?
Can one nanodeeling with the Cos De BAHA (VA) Vitamin C 15% Ascorbic acid?
I have the Dr. Pen and nano seems to work ok. Do you reuse the nano tips or discard them like needle tips? I just heard in a beauty group that some people sterilize and reuse them since they’re not sharp. What do you think?
Hi Anita! Good to know about the dr. pen and nano needling. I have not reused them but to be honest, I can see people doing that for sure (just like they sterilize dermarollers). I could definitely understand the appeal and understand why people might do it. I know it would probably never be recommended, but I think it makes some sense. People usually soak their dermarollers in alcohol, so I could see them doing the same thing with these tips. I have not done that before. You got me thinking about it though. :)
What depth number do u use?
Interesting!
Thank you for stopping by!
What is the difference between the different chips Deminuage offers? They have Booster Nano Chips, Daily Nano Chips, Zip Booster Nano Chips. Not sure which to get.
Hi Brenda - the daily ones are standard and the booster ones go a bit deeper. I prefer the daily ones and I like the booster ones for use once a week. Sorry I don't know much about the zip booster chips - but it sounds like they are even deeper.
So informative! Great video, thank you!
Thank you!
I always see hyla- acid as the serum to use after needling but it most def certainly burns my face lmao. What else can I use? Aloe Vera ? Maybe peptides since they may be able to permeate the skin after needling
If microneedling, I am not sure what would be safe. If I couldn't use HA, I would probably use just water sprayed on my face. But, I am just being extra cautious and I know when people get this done in an office by a professional, they often use serums with peptides, etc. I need to do more research on it.
Howdy Holly😁🙋🏼♀️ Another great video❣️ I would like to try the one with the brightening serum. For my freckles😁. Does nano needling give you dry skin in the days after using it like microneedling?
Angela, thank you! A brightening serum is perfect to use with nano needling. I forgot to mention the kit with the Deminuage pen has a great brightening serum. About dry skin - that sometimes happens for me after nano needling, but not every time. I am surprised that it does happen though as it seems so noninvasive. But, the last time I nano needled I had a bit of dry flaky skin the next day. It was fine once I used a good serum and moisturizer though. :)
@@LifeDIY Definitely gonna try the kit with the brightening serum👍🏻 May I ask what serum or moisturizer you use for the dryness?
@@avenus684 Awesome! I really like their serum. For dry skin, I am obsessed with the Dr. Jart Ceramidin liquid (and their cream is amazing too) but I feel like the liquid is more effective. It's a little pricey, but it lasts me about six months. It's absolutely incredible for dry skin. I have never found anything better. Then, after using that, if my skin is still dry (and it's nighttime) I will use a Nivea cream on my face too. Otherwise lately I have been using the IT Cosmetics face cream and it's great as well. :)
@@LifeDIY Thank you so much😊💜 I'm gonna look into them and I'm gonna try to get one. Probably gonna try the liquid one first👍
@@avenus684 awesome! Let me know if you like it. If you get it, I hope you love it. My skin is getting so dry again and I just ran out. And, though I said it lasted me 6 months..I just checked and it actually lasted 8 months somehow! :) I am definitely going to re-buy it!
nano needling is okay to use to fade old acne scar?
It depends on how deep the scars are. If deep, then microneedling is the way to go.
I bought this nano system, but it does zero for me. I am thinking about going to send it back and just purchase nano cartridges for my Pen. Idk. I do not feel ANYTHING when I use the nano pen. Maybe I will give it more time...
Hi Terri! It's normal to not feel anything with the daily nano cartridges, but it doesn't mean it isn't helping your skin. It is creating microscopic channels. You could also try their Grand Booster cartridge if you want to feel it and get more pronounced or faster results. :)
Can I do nano needling with micro needling needles, too? When I set the pen on 0.1 mm it's the same depths as the nano needles go. I really don't understand why I have to buy extra needles for doing nano needling.
Hi Franzi! I get what you're saying. I still haven't had any luck with the Dr. Pen nano cartridges. I know if you did use a normal microneedling cartridge but at the lowest depth possible, it is an option. I have not tried it yet. The nano tips on the cartridges specifically made for nano needling are super tiny little pyramids that you can hardly see and they do not cause any pain. I think it would be worth trying it your way. I may do this in the near future. So thanks for the suggestion. I feel like I wouldn't want to waste a regular cartridge on nano needling, but either way it will cost money if you use a nano cartridge or Dr. Pen cartridge. So, thank you for this idea. :) If you try it, let me know how it goes. Otherwise I will try it too. I will try to do some research into it as well.
Does the pen have RF Microneedling ?
It does not!
I’m trying to get the courage to buy the Dr Pen on Amazon with the link u gave but it has a lot of bad reviews! People keep saying the pen just stops working I don’t want to spend that money for it to not work! Has your pen had any problems
Hi Kirsen! I was so surprised to hear about the bad reviews. I haven't checked the listing in a little while. At first I noticed they have almost a 5 star rating, but then the first reviews that show up are the top 3 bad ones! So, I totally understand your concerns. For me, I have had the pen for almost two years and it has been working really well with no issues. I only used it plugged in though. I feel like it isn't as strong when using it with just the battery, not plugged in. I think I will try to contact the owner directly now to ask him about his return/replacement policy as I am not really updated on that. Usually Amazon is really good about allowing returns, though there are some companies that don't allow it. I will try to find out and let you know what I hear back.
What do you prefer in order: Nano needling, micro needling, the ordinary glycolic peel, tca peel?
Love your question! This is a tough one. :) I think glycolic peels in general are my #1 favorite. TCA Peels next for the best results. Microneedling & nano needling. I love the nano needling as it is great for maintenance and for overall improvements in the skin. But the other methods are my favorite as they can create some great results & work deeper into the skin. I love each one for different reasons though.
Thanks so much for not only the quick response but as always you put out such thorough information,much appreciated😊
Is nano needling effective with no serum?
Maybe mildly effective. I think it might not be a good idea to do it without serum as it helps the pen glide too. I think it is pretty important to use serum while nano needling.
@@LifeDIYI used a hydra pen 2,
I used hyaluron 6000 serum, bought from ksisters, and I still had marks the next day, and I felt burning...
What else would be best to use,
🙏🙏
Can you use this on your upper lid brow area ?
Yes definitely. And, I forgot to mention that experts often say it can also be used on the lips as well, whereas regularly microneedling should not be done on them.
Can we re-use nano needles?
You're not supposed to but I personally dip them in alcohol and feel save re-using as they don't go deep enough to be problematic
PLEEASE tell us what else you had done. You look 25!
Thanks! I just do peels at times and microneedling. I have videos sharing the results of both of those! TCA peels are strong and very effective, though I rarely do them. I plan to do one coming up. They can really reverse some signs of aging in the skin. I have all my skincare treatment results on: www.lifeanddiy.com - hope it helps!
hello love your chanel.. ❤️❤️ when can you nanoneedle after you have microneedled?
Dali, thank you! I usually wait 10 days after microneedling to do anything else!

When i can makeup after using my nano needling
You can use it anytime after nano needling. If you use a deeper cartridge (Deminuage sells Booster cartridges), then I would wait a couple hours or only do that one at night. But the daily cartridges are great too and I love using them in the morning, applying skincare and makeup right away.
@@LifeDIY thank you so much 🥰❤️❤️
Another big big note is that regular consumers Cannot buy a Dr. Pen microneedle pen ONLY the Nano. You need a license
Are you biased because the company sent you a pen or is this 100 honest. I do nano for my clients but I use their own plasma or serum.
You probably don’t watch her videos. She is legit and honest. And this is coming from a guy that watches her videos
@@kaushalsoni2742 thank you for the reply.
I have the Rezenerate Nanotechnology pen. It’s the original and I believe it’s made in the United States. The quality is superior to other brands and the tips are made in a clean room not unlike microchips.
You are amazing 😍
thank you :))
Hi-Can you use a hyalauronic acid before nano needling?
Yes definitely!
Great video, very informative and my God you are an absolutely gorgeous girl! ; so you obviously know what you're talking about.
Thank you for the sweet comment! 🙏
hello i manufacture needle nano vietnam
Geeze, you are so gorgeous. You look like kate beckinsale.
