I bought lancome absolue serum, guerlain orchid imperial and L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream ($1,000) after their claim of activation of AMPK pathway. Not sure if its truly worth it. Any serum and cream you would recommend that activates AMPK pathway or that could be used with daily tretinoin and vitamin C use?
mainly the red / flushing type. im more concerned with getting rid of the sun damage and acne scars so some redness if triggered is ok for a while to me. or is it part of the aftercare in the following weeks ? is it too irritating to add to the skin during treatment or at least immediately after on the day to stimulate collagen ?
what happens if you use vitamin c the night before prp microneedling on face? what happens if you use benzoyl peroxide + clindamycin topical gel on your forehead prior to prp microneedling on face? i've heard you're not supposed to but why are we not supposed to?
1. Should I do microneedling or stop Tretinoin for 3-5 days prior to microneedling? 2. Can I put tretinoin 0.1% on face then do microneedling 1mm? 3. After microneedling, what can I put on my face? Can I still use tretinoin and vitamin C later on that night? 4. Does PRP for the face contain platelet poor plasma and platelet rich plasma or only platelet rich plasma? What is your method? Thank you in advance!
Hey so Ive been doing my own PRP facials via microneedeling with the depth at around 2mm...and I've just gotten some powered vitamin C, which is like to use with my PRP facial and Im wondering if they will work together effectively with the microneedlong?
I have acne prone skin Im on spironolactone 25mg a day . They recommend hylauoronic acid and vitamin C after microneedling I use Kiehls hyluoronic acid and vitamin C 12% on daily basis and it doesnt irritate my skin. Is it safe to use it after the treatment or shall I apply nothing regarding my sensitive skin Im afraid to breakout !
I do micro-needling at home with a hand held. I would like to add radio-frequency treatments (hand held as well so not very strong) right afterwards, but I don't want to use ultrasound gel for a conductive gel, as it is not something I want to get into my broken skin. Can I use my own serums such as hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, vitamin c, etc for conduction with the RF?
I am moving to Brazil due to my work, and I have done a research in order to continue my sessions for heal a hypertrophic scar ..I've found good clinics but none of them works with PRP...also, in my first session (in USA) I used a vita c + hyaluronic acid serum and my skin did not react well because in every application my scar turned more red and thick, so I stopped with the product and the result was good.. hope there are more options of products that can be applied after the sessions!
I just got microneedling done today. I put a vitamin C and E serum on before bedtime and it stung. Just now, I was reading that using vitamin C after microneedling can cause an unwanted inflammatory response. Did I just mess up my treatment? Thanks.
