Crepey upper arm skin :/

WORTH IT$200
Yea the Bat wings, ugh... Intend to try and roll that area (ouch!) but haven't yet. What I have done is use tretinoin (Retin A generic) on my upper arms and forearms. A few times. Sorry no pics. What I can say though is that's a sensitive (to tretinoin) area, and I have major itchiness with it right now. Def think the dermaroller has potential for that area though.

I too have the MY M dermapen. I like it much better than using the rollers. Mine came with a few needles in a plastic pkg then I bought 20 more on ebay. Their very cheap compared to the rollers & at least you can adjust the pen to the length you want. It goes from a .5 to a little over 1.5 length. I just got done needling some pock mark scars & noticed my pores around them are much smaller now. I hope it stays like that but I really worked on them til they bled so it's taking a bit longer to heal this time. I had used it on other scars & one really raised up enough that it doesn't bother me, hoping to get the same results after more treatments. Good luck & def no more lasers!! Eribium laser is what gave me most of the scars & all my fat loss from the heat. Never again. Just filler, fat & needling.

Hi there, how are you doing? We would love an update on your progress - have you started to treat your "bat wings" yet?

Hi... not sure you still check this blog after all these years but how have your results held up? I’ve seen so many horror stories on here about bad texture, pin holes from the needles and wrinkles over the treated area months after treatment. I hope you haven’t experienced any of this!

Haven't used MyM device yet

Have not used it yet.

May need to order more needles, it came with "10" but I think those are all in one "head". Still figuring this out so I don't waste the needles, not sure how often they can be reused on larger areas.

I ordered some tattoo numbing stuff, looking for the best topical to apply, any ideas? I have read A & D? And I like natural oils etc...

Other places I am considering treating with it
inner forearm is wrinkled from prob sun damage
thinking about knees
hands

Checked out Mr Numb (now NumbKing?) It's $$$ ! I got some other stuff from an online tattoo place will try that first. Ordered some lanolin based A and D ointment, which is the protocol for after from what I understand.

Thank you! I think you really get a good bang for your buck with this treatment, and can't wait to see the results a few months out. Although I am in the midst of consults for facelift but this type of skin improvement is not addressed by facelift surgery anyway...

The before/after pictures you posted really show a difference! Have you used the MyM needling device at home yet? I'm trying to decide whether it's worth buying-or just use the derma roller. Do you have any recent pictures? Thanks for posting!

Where do you buy an electric needling device? I just bought a .5 and 1.5 dermaroller. I haven't tried either one yet. Am a bit nervous. I'm thinking electric might be better.

It's more of a "stamp" I think? I have not used it yet (hoping to this week end) but I bought it on Amazon. Look for "MY M(TM) Electric Auto Derma Micro Needle Stamp".

Where did you purchase this? Tried googling anything that sounded similar and didn't come up with any 'at home' kit. I have a Dermaroller but would like something a little more high-tech.

I have my own as well... bought it on ebay :) I use this on winter time myself with cocktails/serum ampules. I use it every two weeks (up to 8 sessions) and then every two months ... but avoid spring and summer (Sun!) Cheeks: 1.0 -1.5 mm forehead: 0.5-1.0 mm nose: 0.5 mm eye areas: 0.2 mm Is the best way. Keep clean needles or every time use a new cartridge. Dont put any oily cream by 3 days after needling on your face. Use sun blocker, best 30 SPF minimum. Dont use any makeup or cream by first 24hours and be sure your hands and face is clean when you needle your skin. Thats my rules. I am 26 old but I see diference :) specially with nose folds, eyes area and space between my eyebrows :)
