In LOVE with Microneedling!!!
WORTH IT$300
So, I bought one of those GloPro microneedling rollers from Nordstrom and used it nightly for about a week. I did notice that it woke my skin up and I had a bit more "glow" than usual. So I started to read about the difference between the at-home devices vs the "in office" treatments. Apparently they don't even compare in terms of the result you will get, because the needles on the at home versions are too short to really penetrate and make a difference. So I decided spring for a few treatments. (Side note: the GloPro at home roller DOES hurt despite user reviews. I had to do deep breathing when I would use it.)
Anyway on to the in-office procedure. I arrived, had numbing cream applied and sat around for 30 mins while it did it's thing. The whole procedure took about 10-15 mins top and I didn't feel any pain. The only annoying part was near my nose where the vibrations are super strong, and on my high cheek bone area where I don't have much fat. It didn't hurt, it just kinda freaked out me out because I felt like we were hitting bone. I left super red and was like that for the rest of the evening.

2nd Treatment and LOVE LOVE LOVE
I had my second treatment on April 4th. She definitely cranked it up a notch because I was pretty bloody by the time she was done (and that was without PRP!) I left looking like freddy, and it stayed that way until the next day. Day 2 I was less red, and by day 3 I could wear makeup to cover any residual redness. By week 2 I had the most unbelievable glow!!! My skin is baby soft, my small breakouts on my forehead and chin/jaw area have pretty much vanished and my skin texture is more even and smooth! All my friends have commented how great my skin looks! :-) Can't wait for treatment 3!!!

37 yrs old, 2 microneedling treatments - it's amazing!
So, basically, I am in love with microneedling and will probably do this every 4-6 weeks from here on out. I joined a skin club at Dr. Anton's office where for $149 per month you get a "collagen building" facial of either an Oxygeno (sp?) Facial, Microneedling or an IPL. Well worth it in my opinion! Basic topical facials at spas are roughly the same cost and don't do much to change your skin. The Microneedling is a total game changer and my products (Vitamin C serum + Wrinkle/Eye creams) are penetrating so much better now! I'm 37, don't do Botox and probably won't ever, so long as I continue to get these results!
