What’s the most dramatic thing that’s happened to you last week?

I went over to a friend’s house for a small gathering, and at some point in the evening I ended up getting radiofrequency (RF) microneedling on my face (this is pretty expensive so for her to do it for free was amazing). The needle depth was set to 2.5 mm, which is on the more deeper end for professionals. Microneedling is supposed to stimulate collagen production, boost elastin, and trigger growth factors that support tissue regeneration and improve blood flow to the skin.

Kim K(ardashian) does the vampire microneedling, where you get your blood drawn, spin the blood in a centrifuge to isolate PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and apply it on the skin after microneedling. Well, I can’t do that because I am anemic and I was bleeding anyway because my friend went hella aggressive on my face anyway.

I already use an at-home derma roller on my scalp, paired with growth serums for hair follicle stimulation, but the needle depth is 0.5 mm, which does not not hurt (for me, everyone has their own pain tolerance).

I also worked 72 hours last week. I finally crashed when I got home Saturday night and woke up on Sunday at 1000.

    I hope the effects of microneedling are okay now, Rojie. I hope you are now feeling better. It’s okay.

    72 is huge! I have once as well as a security guard and once I worked a 23hr shift in the highrise, fell asleep on a lawyer’s couch for the last hour, lol!! How long was your longest shift? Probably way longer than 23hrs hey? Hi

      The work is for financial reasons I suppose but not healthy. And then the microneedling is mostly for looks

    Although I would have considered myself very conscious of my looks as a young woman- it would never have occurred to me to do anything like this- are you going to post a picture of you once it was healed a before and after perhaps?

    Wow, Rojie epic glow-up incoming – your skin’s collagen party has started! Powering through 72-hour weeks too? Legend status.

      Thanks so much, Dinesh! Idk if it’s being a legend or a masochist at this point

    I have hemophilia so, I can’t really do something that radical on my skin. 🙂

    1. justrojie Avatar

      You def should not do that, oh geez

    Wow, but that sounds so painful. I’m glad your friend could do that for you, though. That’s really nice. 💗🌺 I hope you’re having a great FriYAY!

    I still can’t get past the fact you willingly subjected yourself to this. And learning the depth was 2.5mm? That’s DEEP!

    1. justrojie Avatar

      no pain, no gain!! lol

      1. ianmdudley Avatar

        Wouldn’t do it even if it built character…
