I’m really keen to give Microneedling a try but it seems to be a long term commitment. I can’t really afford to go to the salon every 6 weeks so wondered if anyone had tried one of the at home devices successfully? is it a huge afford is there one that is fairly straightforward and works? Thanks!

I bought the Teresa Tarmey set linked above. it’s a good starter dermaroller. It comes with 12 ampoules of serum to use once per week for 12 weeks. You can’t buy the serum individually and the dermaroller is still fine to use after 12 uses.
chat gpt told me using the cosrx 6 peptide serum would be a good substitute.

I find the serum a bit sticky. I put about half of it on before rolling and then the other half after and wash it off after a couple hours. I try to do my red light mask after that. I also do my neck and décolletage. Come back and let me know how you like it!

Would there be a risk of fat loss in the face from using this?

Yes I had this with a RF machine so don't use it on your cheeks.

Anyone who needs to see a good video of microneedling results Bubzbeauty on youtube has an amazing video of her stomach after she had a baby and the 6 months of at home dermarolling.

I use a derma stamp from amazon on my stomach and a Dr Pen on my face when I remember to do it. Less is more with microneedling, don't over do it because you destroy the collagen that is forming if you do it more than needed.

You only need once every 4 weeks for your face (which is why I forget to do it!)

Which one would you recommend for deep stretch marks? I had a roller one but found it dragged more than it punctured if that makes sense.

I know my stomach won’t ever look pre-pregnancy again but just want to improve things somewhat!

You would need a very deep one, 1.5/2mm for stretch marks

Get an adjustable derma stamp from Amazon. They are about a tenner.

For your stomach and stretch marks have a look at Bubzbeauty's video on youtube, her 6 months transformation of her stomach is amazing.
