I’m a middle aged guy (yep) who believes in better living through chemistry and science. And there’s plenty of actual science behind microneedling. So far, I’ve performed two thorough treatments about 4 weeks apart, and the results are obvious and unmistakable. I had developed a bit of facial sag along the jawline after some recent weight loss, and this beauty eliminated about 75% of that in two treatments (I’ll do another one or two when I have time). Don’t even think of using this device if you’re anxiety-prone and afraid of a little pain. You *will* experience some mild pain (say a 2-3 on a scale of 10), your face will bleed a little (it’s OK—the disposable needles are sterile), and your face will look like it’s been rug burned for an evening (do the procedure at night). But by the next day, there’s just a little irritation left, and a day later pretty much no visible redness. And then over the next few days and weeks, there’s noticeable tightening. The bottom line? This device works, and it’s much less expensive (but still perfectly effective) than other similar devices. Just don’t whine when you experience a little pain and irritation. You will, but the longer term results are worth it.
