At home Micro needling guns

4 replies

At the start of the year l started getting micro needling and a skin booster every 6/7 weeks realistically l can’t afford to keep spend £109 on this,it was just meant to be a treat for myself but l like the results so carried on. I have changed hair dresses saving me £30 a visit and started using holy gels which is better for my time and money (again this was only meant to be a treat once in a while). My savings have taken the hit.

So l thought l would buy a micro needling gun,l have looked and seen what available but when you see the reviews a lot are from men and trusted reviewer and the testing community and somehow l don’t feel like l do trust these.

Do you have have one and would you recommend it, l know this might sound odd but l love the feeling. My budget is £75-£125.

Dying to know what a holy gel is.

Holy gels are just stick on nails that you use a uva light on and the go hard and feel like gel nails. Honestly takes 20 minutes l can’t believe how good l am at putting them on, beats sitting around for an hour and 20 mins and paying £40-£45. They have both lasted 2 weeks as well.

A little bump for the evening crowd.

Have a look on TikTok. There are lots of people microneedling on there. Most of them seem to use Dr Pen devices.
Apparently there are fakes about, but the website has an area where you can put in the code on the box to verify genuine ones, if you don’t buy from the website. I think they have 50% off atm. I’m contemplating it, but I’ve not long started using tretinoin so can’t microneedle yet.
