Anyone tried microneedling to stimulate new cells and reduce wrinkles

Its called plason not plasmon

Can't believe so many people are saying no.

I had this, c6 sessions - they used a machine - no pain. Everything was cleaned before I had it - it was called plasmon because they added a serum to my skin as they did the micro needling.

I'm 57yo. I recently chatted to a new colleague and my associate - all women. My associate was complaining she's just turned 50yo and I said cricket I'm a lot older than both of you to which my new colleague said, how old are you 44-45? I said no 57yo. She nearly fell over.

Last weekend I caught up with school friends, I saw one a few months ago, my BF from school 10yrs ago and tge rest I hadn't seen for 40 years. One asked me where my wrinkles were and had I had cosmetic surgery! I said no cosmetic surgery I had microneedling.

Try it, it's pain-free.

Make sure everything is spotless before treatment.

I had it on my hands too to remove age spots so my beautician, who is a medical Prof, disinfected my phone and keys before I left too.

I wouldn’t dream of having this done. I’m happy to let nature take its course.

Never would consider getting it done, I cleanse, moisturise, and use a good lipstick. No intention of using botox or a microneedle.

This is my opinion only and if people find it helps them they should go for it.

Daughter had it done last year under her eyes, around £200 I seem to think, she may as well have dotted it with a pencil at no cost. It made no difference what so ever.

I have just had it .. Not at all painful I have noticed how good my skin is wrinkles don’t disappear but are softened.
I had three random people say to me since having it that that I’m glowing 🤷‍♀️
I’m more than happy with that

I had microneedling done every 5 weeks for about 9 months and then I stopped for about 3 months and noticed that my skin was not as smooth, pores were larger and fine lines were deeper. I went back to getting it done and after the first treatment, I noticed a difference. So, I am now back to this one luxury every 5 weeks.

I've just reread my response and realised that what I wrote isn't what I meant to say, sorry! I didn't mean 'No, it doesn't work' I meant to say 'No, haven't tried it' (because I also misread the op). Was obviously having a bad day.

I think it depends on what you are trying to do. The shorter needles that can be used regularly seem to be only useful for dealing with very surface damage like very fine lines or surface skin damage. To deal with deeper wrinkles or sagging skin the longer needles are needed over a longer period, to prompt the rebuilding of collagen and faster turnover of skin cells. The treatments are more spaced out to allow the skin to heal each time.

It all depends on what your skin is like and what you want to achieve. I've put a YouTube link to a site that talks about how it works, what can be done, and what to look out for. She's an American aesthetician who both uses and performs microneedling and talks about it in depth. If you search for micro needling on YouTube there are also videos from cosmetic surgeons who discuss the procedures and the possibilities of skin damage. HTH

once you start you have to continue with having it and as your skin ages you will look haggered and much older than your years. remember felicity kendal ruined her face and had more surgery to try and correct, never works.

I just Googled Felicity Kendal - gosh, you’re right. What a shame she felt it was necessary.

I used one for three months - gave up as it made no difference whatsoever to my face.

No way! I’m happy with my skin. I cleanse and moisturise morning and night without fail and wear sunscreen every day. That’s enough for me. No treatments thank you.

Quite agree, BlueBelle. Carol Vorderman is unrecognisable. I wouldn’t have expected her to be so unsure of herself that she felt the need to have so much done.

Make the most of what you’ve got, help nature a little with subtle make-up etc, but don’t do anything radical. You will only look worse.

Absolutely not!

No never I think we should be proud of where we ve got to
I m not vain enough to want to look like a young person I think Carol vordeman looks uniquely awful don’t know what she has done but I ve yet to see an older person looking good with whatever treatment they are having, look at Pricilla Presley and others
Be proud of what you ve got and enjoy it

I'm with you...not a chance that I will try anything...Luckily inherited good supple skin. At 68 no wrinkles yet, my skin is still firm🙏🙏

As I have a chunk out of my leg where a needle broke (wouldnt happen with todays needles) so am a needle phobic, and have enough problem dealing with necessary needles. But in any case my attitude is that I am as you find me. I am clean and my clothes are clean and ironed. My hair is white and will stay that way. As a pensioner have very little spare money and what I have goes on music, looking at art, going for a walk etc. I have had people comment on how good my skin is, but dont really care and I think I would rather spend my time and money of these things than doing anything to myself. Each to their own, as they say. So long as you are doing things to make your own life better and not being shoved into things by other people or the wretched internet!!

Thank you Angel Chris - I'll read F the Future site and Environ.

I have it every 6 months after a nucleoskin injection session, mainly to use up the excess serum as it is quite a big amount compared to profhilo. It stings and my skin is red but it is fine after a few hours. I'm happy with the results and although quite expensive it's only twice a year.

Yes I have having it done at present. Can’t stop now because I’m off to work but will fill in the details later.

I have had treatments now three times and I can definitely see a difference. The girl is very well trained practitioner and I am quite happy with the results.
Personally, I would never have anything injected into my skin, Botox, fillers, etc, but each to their own…

And Trinny looks overtreated, no thanks,

Wouldn’t bother with it. Botox suits me and certainly does the job👍

Quite agree dogsmother. It's called growing old gracefully.

I laughed like a drain when a gatro enterologist on discoverying my husband was 15 years younger, suggested this micro needle thing. I just laughed and told her I was English.

Husband has now left me for a younger woman. Still find it funny and oh the joys of living alone, except when the Gendarme call to protect me.

I earned these wrinkles. Or as my granddaughter called them… cracks!

It is possible to do it yourself but you do need to buy a good make. I have been doing it myself for a number of years but I also use Environ face creams which I buy online from Face the Future.

I am 75, I exercise regularly and have an excellent diet (Zoe nutrition) but the micro needling is in addition to all that. Most people can’t believe my age as I have no wrinkles - but - it could just be genetics. Who knows? If anyone doesn’t look after themselves re diet and exercise, micro needling is not going to make much difference. I hope this helps.
