Hello,
What is the best way to address the vertical frown lines between eyebrows (aka "elevens")? I've been using Super CP serum all over (with exfol serum) and Super Cop on these frown lines and marionette lines. Is this the best approach or should I be doing something different?
Thanks!

Dear Hillary:

Yes - That is a good approach for starters.

That actually is the approach we recommend online at our page on Real Help for Nasolabial Lines, Smile Lines, and Deep Expression Lines - See: http://reverseskinaging.com/nasolabial.html

Below you'll find a recap of what to use along with how to possibly boost your results with skin needling (click on the "RESULTS" tab to view photos).


• Best Regimen for Fading Deep Expression Lines:

The key to youthful skin with improved elasticity is the use of a good method of exfoliation (with hydroxy acid and/or manual abrasion) + copper-peptides to help initiate strong skin rejuvenation. Keep in mind that consistency and patience are vital.

DAILY Use:
AM - Apply a light amount of Super CP Serum which contains a highly effective concentration of copper peptides). Application should be so light that it just barely covers the area without leaving it excessively wet or damp.

Optional Tip! Immediately afterward, apply a very light amount of Two Timing Tightener (DMAE Tightening Serum). This product is a membrane stabilizer and helps give the look of lift to sagging skin. Clinical studies show DMAE to be quite effective in fading the appearance of facial sagging and helps with collagen synthesis.

PM - After cleansing the area, use a light amount of Lactic Power 10 (a 10% mild hydroxy acid leave-on exfoliator). Leave-on hydroxy acids work to slowly dissolve the links between damage skin cells and heighten skin cell turnover rate. Wait about 20-30 minutes before you apply anything on top.

Spot-treat specific areas of lines between the eyebrows or marionette lines in the evening using a very light amount of Super Cop 2X - Extra Strength. Use very lightly. Not for use around the eye area. Test on a small area first. Massage in.

• HOW TO ADD MICRO NEEDLING FOR WRINKLE FADING

See: http://reverseskinaging.com/sk...ing-and-rollers.html

Tips for application: Basically a good rule of thumb is to let the device do the work for you. Avoid drawing blood, pressing too hard, or rolling too swiftly. The area may become slightly red, but first time users will want to simply roll gently. Use little or no pressure --- let the device do the work. The idea is to simply create "in-roads" for improved copper peptide penetration.

Enhance your results after needling by applying a light amount of a mild copper peptide serum after rolling. You can even dilute the serum first by taking 1-2 drops in the palm of your hand and add 2-3 drops of water before applying.

How Often to "Roll" - This will depend on the area, your individual skin type, and the length of needle. But remember: Less is More - Take periodic breaks to allow your skin a chance to recover. In general, once a month may be sufficient for many. Only use the device as instructed by the manufacturer.


Best Wishes,
