How fun! Claudia is the perfect Micro Needling Coach! I'm super excited for your MN journey ❤

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thanks so much Tamara!

[@beyond50skin]

Claudia is so knowledgeable about microneedling. She is the perfect choice to guide you on your journey. I've had to take a break from all microneedling on my face for a year. I did several rounds of medical in-office treatments for scar revision on my lower face and décolletage. This year I am on a journey with scalp microneedling. I use a roller, at cosmetic microneedling depths, along with LLLT and serums to see if I can maintain and hopefully increase my hair density and over all scalp and hair health. It was Claudia who finally "influenced me" to give it a go. Good luck on your needling journey.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank so much Cindy. I think the scalp is next! What serums do you use for that?

[@beyond50skin]

@@SkinObsessedMary I use minoxidil as some research papers are actually recommending it in office post transplant! At medical depths of course… I have a pen but have stuck to cosmetic only 🐓😂… I really need to do a hair video. The Calecim cam in & that recommends stamping so …. I think I’ll switch it up and see how it goes .. fresh start in March perhaps 🤔

[@gogo61lovesthis34]

I was holding my breath with you Mary! 😅 So glad you did this 'live' - I would have been way too scared to do it to myself even though I am totally on board with the benefits you can gain with Microneedling. Dr Pen....here I come! Thanks Mary 👏🙏

I definitely will! Let me know if you try it too

[@pip585]

Hi Mary, so glad I watched this as I too have the Dr Pen M8 and have the 36 cartridges and haven’t used it in ages. I didn’t realise that the 16 cartridges go deeper. Very informative..must purchase the 16 cartridges as I always wondered why it didn’t do much and wondered if I was doing it correctly. I will try the stamping method instead of dragging, makes sense. I also have been a follower of Claudia ❤ Thank you.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I’m so glad ur helped! I think I may also add in the cosmetic micro needling, to help with product penetration 👍

[@froufou100]

Yes, I thought the 36 pins were better; so glad I saw this comment; thanks!

[@joannec9305]

Congrats - so brave to do medical micro as your try w Dr Pen! I've been doing cosmetic micro w Dr Pen M8 the past 6 mos but was a bit scared doing medical micro as I thought it would hurt + need numbing cream (tho have done medical micro in-office). So happy to know I don't need to use numbing cream! Love the stamping technique from Claudia - she's amazing. Going to buy the 16-pin cartridge now!!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I was terrified, but it's honestly not as bad as you're probably thinking. And I had the best teacher for sure! Just did my third session last night (trying to stick to the 4-6 week schedule and I'm obsessed. At about the 3 or 4 week mark, my skin is glowing! I'm going to start cosmetic needling this week I think :)

[@judithbrescia9981]

Dear Mary, This is my first time seeing your video. I'm a big fan of Claudia,s and when I tuned in this morning you were her guest. She has influenced me but in a positive way. I don't do every thing she does because I am a big baby or can't afford the products she is being so passionate about. So to make this a big deal when I heard you say you picked up Claudia's Microneedling thingy well I gasp, OMG, I have the same one never opened. Scared to death, I have not watched this video yet. I just had to write you first. So here it goes, I do feel you are in good hands, I only wish I was there with you in the back ground following your every movement. Good Luck, And I have Subscribed to your channel.

[@claudiaglows]

Judith, you are a sweetheart! I am so glad you found Mary and I hope this video will be helpful and take some of your fear of microneedling away. If not, I am always here to help, please never hesitate to reach out x

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Hi Judith, wow we did the same thing… I had the pen for months! I can honestly say, it does hurt the way you think. Just give it a try. And maybe put the video on and follow step by step. I do believe it’s going to be worth it. Thank you so much for subscribing 🙏 Cláudia’s the best isn’t she??

This video really helped me calm down. I ordered the M8 a few days ago, still waiting for delivery. I'm a scaredy cat too. I'm so nervous about the pain. I really rather not have to use numbing cream but I guess I will if I can't handle it. You did great 😊

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you! I was sooo nervous. But after you take the plunge, you'lll find it not nearly as bad as the anticipation. I've since done a second one and will do the third next weekend. It keeps getting easier, I promise! I'm going to add cosmetic microneeding into the mix this weekend too 🕺

[@maryhazelwood7441]

@Skin Obsessed Mary awesome, thanks Mary. I've been cosmetic needling with a roller for a few months. Now it's time to step it up 👍

[@froufou100]

I started micro-needling in my late 30s for my multiple acne scars and discovered the magic on my wrinkles, too; people do a double take when knowing my age :). The only thing that doesn't work for me, which is disappointing, is that my necklines don't really react to the treatment. I guess I can't have it all yet :). I also follow Claudia, and another good YT to follow is Penny Smith (I think that is her name); she is a professional beautician who experiments with many treatments and products at home and for her practice. I subscribed to your channel to see you through your journey, and I will probably learn something from you too :). PS: I could never do the treatment without numbing my skin first, you are very brave!!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Thank you so much for watching! I'm now wondering if maybe I should numb....it's not fun. It may make it a little easier for me. I've following Penn for years - she's briliant!

[@yvettefont2199]

Hi Mary, have you done an update on your experience with Microneedling with Claudia, and have you continued? Love you videos ❤

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I haven't done a video update yet, but I can tell you I'm absolutely hooked. I noticed after about 4 weeks that my skin was GLOWING! I mean, no makeup kind of glow. I did my second round after about 5 weeks and I'm do another session next weekend. I will absolutely continue indefinitely. I'm thinking of adding cosmetic microneedling once a week, but haven't found a way to add in yet. Hopefully this weekend :)

[@beeznhoney4323]

Love the collab video ✨ I've had the DrPen M8 since Christmas but haven't used it yet. This was very helpful and encouraging. Question: Can Salmon PDRN be used after MN?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I just did my second session on Sunday and I'm officially hooked. I'm the first to say I was scared sh*tless, after about 3 weeks my face was glowing! That's enough encouragement for me 😂

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Oh forgot to answer...yes, Salmon PDRN can be used. Anything that can be used for mesotherapy (which is where you inject product into the skin) can be used for or after medical microneedling. As long as it's designed to go into the dermis and is sterile 👍

[@martham7198]

Thank you Mary and Claudia. Great video, so many helpful tips. I know micro needling works but stopped doing it in the fall because I was getting super dry afterwards and probably not taking enough time off before starting back on actives. You have given me the impetus to start again😀

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Do it Martha! I'm about 4 weeks since we did it and my skin is singing 🕺 I'm officially hooked!

[@pryorbishop2957]

It hurt the first time I did it so I’ve bought some numbing cream for next time.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I'm thinking about getting some myself! What did you get?

[@rnoor9078]

After seeing this video and seeing how easy it is I'm definitely investing in a Dr Pen 😍👋. It costs so much to get it done in clinic 😭 I can't afford it anymore

[@SkinObsessedMary]

It's SO worth it. I did my second session last weekend that's it - I'm hooked. While I don't necessarily enjoy the session, about 3 weeks after the first one, my skin was amazing! I didn't even wear makeup for days....just didn't need it.

[@rnoor9078]

@@SkinObsessedMary i will definitely invest. I think i may get the pen m8. Are there any affordable serums you can recommend? The neogenesis that you used its unaffordable for me. Also did you carry on with the stamping motion? Or tried circular motion?

[@littlequeen22]

My dermatologist told me not to use a growth factor. Maybe because I have had a couple of skin cancers on my face. ???

[@SkinObsessedMary]

It could be. From my understanding, there isn't enough research to definitively say either way, but maybe best to take your doctor's advise. I'd be all over peptides though!

[@denisenj7648]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but be sure to clean and sanitize your glasses before you put them back on.

[@SkinObsessedMary]

You're dead right and I should have mentioned that!

[@manifestingmaren]

I’m confused the Dr Pen has a new updated pen for $300 but it says it comes with 18 point tips! Isn’t 16 ideal Their other one says 16 I’m so confused and new to this I also have an led light face vibratory tool - can we use this immediately after ?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

Hmm, I'd contact Dr Pen and see what they say. I'm not sure about the vibration tool (I personally wouldn't apply anything direclty to skin) but I do use LED after a session to help with healing/repair.

[@dannaboot9508]

How’s it going? Can we get an update video? Thank you! ❤️

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I am in LOVE. I do this religiously every 6 weeks and can tell you it's been a game changer! By about week 3 or 4 my skin is glowing. I can't imagine not having this in my regular routine.

[@VanessaRaphael]

Did you just put on without numbing cream and any type of agent to kill the bacteria? Can we use witch hazel?

[@SkinObsessedMary]

I didn't use numbing cream myself. I thoroughly washed my face but didn't apply anything else. I wouldn't use witch hazel or anything that could penetrate my skin/open channels. It would burn.

After the procedure will the skin be quite red for days after. Can you apply facial cream and/or makeup the next day? Can I apply Triple hyaluronic acid and vitamin E? I know you said no vitamin C!

[@SkinObsessedMary]

My face isn’t bad the next day but everyone is different. I don’t put anything on my skin for 2 days except growth factor (specifically suitable for mesotherapy) and La Roche posay B5 Balm. It can feel a bit dry and tight so this combo aids recovery and calms the skin
