Micro-Needling (at home): I use the Dr pen m8 pen (sadly I am not able to link it) with sterile cartridges on clean skin, work in small sections (I use the hyaluronic acid for slip) at a conservative depth, and then apply growth factors immediately after. I will either apply the Calecim or the Biopelle 40. Let the growth factors absorb for several minutes then follow with a simple, fragrance-free, barrier cream like the Epii one. Prior to doing this though, I make sure there is no oil or makeup on my skin by cleaning it with a cotton pad and rubbing alcohol. I keep everything extremely sanitized and give my skin 4 weeks between sessions. Skin Flooding: This is just layering hydration on damp skin — I usually use about two hydrating toners, then about three essences— pressing each layer in before sealing it with a calming moisturizer so everything stays plump and glassy. I do this morning and night immediately after I wash my face. I skin stamp once a week — which is different from the deeper micro-needling I do once a month. The weekly stamping is very shallow and gentle, mainly to lightly stimulate collagen and enhance product absorption, and I apply Calecim or Biopelle 50 right after. My monthly session is more intensive and focused on true collagen remodeling and longer-term results. (I use the titanium stamper that I linked for this) LTKBeauty LTKOver40 LTKstorytime
