Derma Roller Diary: Progress 1st -> 6th

Hi everyone!! I have a lot of good news for y'all. First is that I'm officially an employee of MBM Skin Clinic starting today and is now a dermatological nurse under Dra. Michelle Manuel (my derma). Yay! I really can't believe my luck that I will be able to train under a very good and well known doctor in the field of dermatology. It's obvious that I love skincare stuff and I really am lucky to be working in the area that I love. I can now share with you all new procedures (and even promo available) that can be done in the name of beautification and keeping our skin healthy :)

My second good news is that, everyone in my family is doing great, health-wise. My Lola is still cancer free, my dad has already recovered from his illness, my mom's health concerns are ruled as not serious, my loveones are all healthy! Oh, and my pets are too! I have 2 new puppies that are both healthy and big ^_^

The third good news I received lately is that my bf has also been hired as a staff nurse too (and good paying at that compared to other health care facilities in the country). We can now really start gaining experience so when we migrate to Canada in the near future, we will have a good chance in getting a job as nurses :)

And lastly, I now have totally acne-free face yay!! I proved this when I can't replenish my topical acne medication for more than 2weeks and all I can do is wash my face 2x a day with Cetaphil for oily skin and I'm still acne free until now. I really can't believe I can last a long time without any medication at all. I usually end up breaking out before if I don't put any type of acne treatment on my face for at least a week and it's been going 3 weeks now and I'm still clear hehe.. Although, I still got myself today another acne treatment cream just for maintainance (I got one with a lower dose of medication since I don't get cystic ones anymore) ^_^

To show you some proof, here's some pictures of my progress from day 1 of my Derma Roller upto my latest which is my 6th session :)

5th SESSION

6th SESSION - my face right now

Did you see how big the difference my Derma Roller did to my face? And that's just 6 sessions with just a maintainance of acne treatment. I think the DR helped my skin to absorb the medication better and at the same time prodding the deeper layers to reproduce healthier skin cells and heal itself. This procedure is really heaven-sent to me ^_^

NOTE: Bad news for those who want to undergo Derma Rolling in the future. The price of the DR from the manufacturer, according to my derma, is increasing lately that's why many clinics including her are increasing the price of the procedure. I'm so lucky to have paid my whole 10 sessions last year while the price is still low. I think, last I heard, my derma already charges Php20,000 for 6-10 sessions of DR. This is still way cheaper compared to other derma clinics like Belo who charges around Php40,000, IMO. Maybe the manufacturer learned that they are really in demand...the higher the demand = the higher the price.

Anyway, I still believe this procedure is worth every penny since it works. DR can be used for acne treatment, antiaging, hair growth, etc. Same instrument is used and only the medication infused in the skin is different for different purposes :)

I hope you guys did not get bored with my uber long post again. Until next time! Thank you for dropping by. Bye! ^_^

Love,
Gale
