This is like the fountain of youth with so many insanely great benefits. Microneedling works by causing microwounds in the skin that essentially cause your skin to signal to create more collagen to aid in healing. It is also called collagen induction therapy. This collagen is what nets the benefits listed above. This even helps with delivery of ingredients such as minoxidil, which will aid in 2-3x more hair growth as per studies.
So your skin is made up of layers. The top one we see is called the epidermis and right under that is the dermis. The dermis lies around .5 mm deep to 1.2mm deep on a male face, depending on the person and area of the face. When the dermis is penetrated from microneedling, this is when "pinpoint" bleeding will occur and this means you are ready to reap the great benefits of microneedling.
You can do this with a dermaroller, they are cheap and easy, no need to purchase deeper than .5mm depth for these. I prefer use of a dermaneedling device such as the Derminator 2. Haven't tried the Dr.Pen, but it seems to work well too.
Safety wise. Cleanliness is the absolute key. Some dermatologists & creators will want to scare you off of this, but at home needling is very well studied and if you take care, it is unlikely you will have issues. If you feel uncomfortable, maybe try getting this done professionally first and take note of how it is done so that you can do it at home and save $300-$400 every time you needle. Wear Gloves, Disinfect all surfaces and devices you will be touching with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Don't needle over
Active Acne
Psoriasis
Eczema
Don't needle too deeply, there really isn't much need to go over a depth of 1.5mm on the face, and be care for a nerve on the neck and around the temple that sits 3-5 mm deep and will cause major issues if you knick it.
-Wash your face with a cleanser not using exfoliating actives
- swab the face with an alcohol wipe
- Put on latex/protective gloves
See the video guide for step by step on how to use the needling device.

Buy a 12-needle cartridge with it, I would buy a few so I always have them.
This site also has
I haven't used the Dr.Pen, so my recommendation is the Derminator 2, but here is a link for the Dr.Pen. They all pretty much come from China and get a different brand name slapped on them.

Your work deserves thousands/millions of views. Keep going you're gonna make it big. 🙌
Hope so! Thank you for the support Ahad :)
@@The.ModernMan What depth are you using for your eyebrows?
@@zenbrucelee2653 I use .75mm. Needling the eyebrows sucks. Makes me sneeze too.
Love the Derminator!! Thank you for this video. I do cosmetic needling weekly and medical (greater than 0.5mm) every five weeks. I can usually do 1.5 mm on my cheeks now.
Yeah I don't even bleed from anything under 1.5 on my cheeks. Loveeee needling. I actually use numbing cream now because it makes deeper needling so easy. Noticed I would dread doing it sometimes.
Glad I found your channel. Nothing beats science.
Thanks dude!
Love how detailed you explain
Glad ya appreciate it. Thanks.
At! Been waiting for this 🙌🙌🙌
😁😁😁
@@The.ModernMan @The Modern Man What depth are you using for your eyebrows?
great vid
Thanks!
What's your opinion on using Infadolan right after microneedling?
I know exactly who to send this to. Very helpful!! 🔥🔥
Fix Sean’s beard haha
@@The.ModernMan haha he'll be so appreciative!!
I’ll second the Derminator. I have the Dr Pen and the Derminator is way better.
Great video, can you touch on reusing needles? The manual says you can reuse them a couple times, do you reuse yours? If yes, what cleaning/disinfection procedure do you follow? Cheers!
I use mine around 6-12 times each. I dip the neeldes in 70% isopropyl alcohol in a bottle cap for a few minutes. both before and after use. After use I also check to make sure I don't have dead skin cells or anything between the needles and get those out either with a cleaning brush or toothpick.
@@The.ModernMan Thanks for getting back to me! I initially started microneedling for hair loos purposes, but you opened my eyes to the skincare aspect!
@@herrmanselcher1632 it’s one the most impactful things for a skin outside of having the foundations of cleaning, moisturizing, sunscreen and retinol.
Why do you have one puffy eye and the other normal
As always, hit me with questions and comments. Gotchu
@The Modern Man What depth are you using for your eyebrows? bro please :D
Can I use the derminator 1.5mm every week?
Definitely wouldn't do 1.5 on my face every week. That would be a minimum 3-4 week recovery. You might feel and look recovered after 2-3 days, but recovery still continues. I noticed when I tried doing deep needling frequently, my face started to look extra puffy and people thought I had cheek filler. You can find out what works best for you, but for hairline, you can get away with more frequency since it's not visible like your face. I did 1.5 on my scalp weekly and had no issues, but eventually I got tired of feeling 1.5mm on my scalp weekly, it's not fun.
Does microneedling work for the hairline without the Minoxidil?
It’s possible, but the impact would be quite mild. The data doesn’t really support it as a strong standalone therapy for hair loss.
can this also removes puffy eyes? i've always had puffy eyes since young but it's getting worse
Sadly puffy eyes(outside sleeping+not having a complete shit diet), are typically procedure based to do much anything with. There's temporary things to improve the appearance, but they are temporary.(Gua Sha, Ice, Caffeine) stuff like that
@@The.ModernMan yeah true. it could be my stress as well
Is it worth microneedling dark eye circles at all? Or eyes in general. In my experience for whitening effect tretinoin is more effective
So dark circles under the eyes can be complex. They can be from skull structure, veins being very close to the top of the skin or your standard hyperpigmentation. Needling will typically only have a very very light benefit to this as a result of having smoother fresher more refined skin. I needle my eyes, but they are definitely something to do with a lot of caution.
I currently use tret, hydroquinone, needling, a large amount of peptides and high doses of vitamin c. Can tell you my eye circles hardly have changed with all that due to bone structure. But if I was to go get some filler, it would make a big difference. Will probably try that at some point since I’m getting up there in age now.
@@The.ModernMan Thank you! I thought it can make things worse by making blood cells get stuck in there or something. Meaning discoloration, maybe even worsening rosacea. It doesn't do that, especially if it's a pen type microneedler, right?
Tbh the color isn't too bad, either way maybe it will get better a bit with tretinoin. However now I got wrinkles under the eyes, because I got back on minox and I ate too much salt and minerals. Had very puffy eyes for a few nights. Well I guess it can't be permanent unless I keep bloating myself and use minox for more than 2 years. Plus I'm only in my late 20s. Will moisturize, tret and needle. Still kinda sucks to look at photos from only a few months back and not see those lines...
Minoxidil experience in general was a bit upsetting. I write a txt log but I didn't do it well so it got confusing. But basically I had a Kirkland bottle from batch #1 and I used it all June and July. June nothing much happened but July is when hairs appeared. I bought more, 3 were from batch #2, 2 from batch #3. I started using from one from batch #2 and got a psoriasis flare up in a few days. In logs I see that I connected the dots right away but for some reason I couldn't figure out to try batch #3. From there only I confused my own self with all kinds of weird theories and used that faulty bottle haphazardly all August and September, 22 ml in total. This October I finally thought of trying another bottle. I'm glad my skin is reacting fine, doesn't even sting or dry out too much, but hairs are falling out only more rapidly. I know, it's just shedding, it should start growing next month, but I'm still upset because I'm basically starting over. Feels like June and July were wasted because that one messed up bottle made me stop. Not only I (seemingly?) didn't gain permanent hair, but I also got these drawbacks like under eye wrinkles!
Anyway... since this is a blog-worthy wall of text already, I may as well drop some of my other thoughts I had for a while. I see you changed your branding. I'm not an expert, but "modern man" seems too common. But I could be wrong, after all when I yt search "modern man microneedling" I actually get 4 of your videos as first results(however it wasn't so good when searching "modern man skincare" which was my first attempt). Plus I will admit that a few months back when I needed to find your channel, I forgot this "self-aware care" name. It's catchy but I remember it right now only because I screenshotted one of your comments. So I guess this was a good call for you to re-brand. Nevermind!
Also, I think it could be good to attach a real name to your brand. Like "Derek from More plates more dates". I thought about this because I was thinking of asking of something in the comments, but wasn't sure how to start it because I didn't know how to address you. "Hi, Modern Man!" feels like it would be disrespectful to do it like that. If you did mention your name, then my B, I didn't pay attention.
@@SurrogateActivities hahah. This is a wall. Yeah, so basically I started out as a chemist who was planning on launching a skincare brand for men. I wanted to mostly do TikTok and Insta to get any following male or female just so people would take me seriously when I launch.
I got tired of doing most purely skincare stuff and that’s when I rebranded. Felt like just skin and hair was too small of a niche to get going and my expertise is really across all things personal care. Now I have a lot more fun being able to select from a more broad set of topics. All of which aid to the same goals of better outcomes for men. Still doing s skincare line in February.
Adding in my name could be a good idea. I think once I get to a few thousand subs, I should start showing up more easily in search. The first 1000 is the hardest part, once you get monetized, you get more of an algo push.
Bummer about the psoriasis stuff. These products usually work extremely well, but everyone is different and things can be unpredictable. And yes, microneedling is usually pretty good for rosacea :). Wild about the eye wrinkles, would be curious to see what you’re talking about.
@@The.ModernMan I wish your skincare line stuff works out because I feel like there's a disconnect between product production and the clients. This way people will have you to communicate with.
Btw found your channel because I was googling around and found your reddit post about minoxidil myths. A few months ago.
Psoriasis dissipated but is still present. I should've just ignored it, wasn't that bad.
The eye wrinkles are from face puffiness at night. Minox doesn't do that for you, right? I'm still asking around(in chats) for solutions. I'm gonna try keto and drinking alot of water. Also not applying minox to my brows... idk
@@SurrogateActivities haha I fkn hope so too. Thank you. I don’t get any side effects from minoxidil whatsoever. Everyone is different with it. Some people also begin to over analyze and think they see things, but they’ve always had them. I see this a ton with skincare.
Ok my question is……. Ain’t minoxidil like mostly alcohol isn’t that gonna burn AF in little open sores? Are you using some alcohol free formula lmao I don’t think I can get that easily in Au it’s all the foam stuff.
You can apply it before or after. That’s how it was done in studies. Yeah a standard Minox is around 70-80% alcohol. The foam stuff works too. Burns a little for maybe 5 seconds. Some people may need to wait 12-24 hours or they will get irritation. Never happens for me
@@The.ModernMan hahaha imma try it anyway but I’m picturing that scene with McCauley Culkin with the aftershave in Home Alone.
How often do you micro needle on your face?
I microneedle every 3-4 weeks because I like to go pretty deep. Usually above .75 for most of my face.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
😎😎😎
What numbing cream or vita c cream would you recommend
I wouldn’t use a vitamin c cream because ascorbic acid doesn’t do well in most cream vehicles and you don’t want to introduce unnecessary ingredients to the face post needling. Ebanel lidocaine cream works.5%
I would either make the vitamin c fresh with just water /glycerin or get skinceuticals(expensive af) or a dupe of skinceuticals like Timeless, Maelove, or the Booster from Paula’s choice.
