Butter-basted Top Sirloin, Pan-seared and Finished in the Oven to 140F

Rested 10 minutes to perfect medium and plated with pan drippings over top. Luscious and decadent.

I like to cook steaks that are low in fat marble and pre-trimmed lean this way. Insanely tender and eats like an expensive steakhouse offering for around $5

Great for serving people who don't like to trim their steak on the plate :)

24h After Results - PDRN, GHK-Cu, and Sheep Placenta with Derminator 2 and 12 Pins

Pictures 1 and 2: Immediately before
Pictures 3 and 4: Immediately after
Pictures 5 and 6: 24 hours later

Slip: 3% PDRN in bac saline and HA

0.05% GHK-Cu in bac saline and HA applied to each section as finished

Sheep placenta extract in bac saline and HA soaked into an "Add your own product" single-wrapped sheet mask placed on after treatment.

I mix my own serums in vitro from raw lyophilized active ingredients and sterile additives using sterile pipettes, syringes, and amber aliquot tubes. I worked as a lab tech for several years for a biomed company where I did this kind of process constantly. It's not anything whimsical or special or done inside a vacuum chamber in the middle of a volcano.

Pain during procedure: 2 out of 10 maximum
After: 1 out of 10, if that

Whole face was done with depths raging form 0.5mm to 1.25mm depending on site.

Today the only discomfort I felt was a brief stinging if my face flushed.

At the 24 hour mark, I washed gently with CeraVe cleanser and patted dry with a disposable face towel, then applied a thin layer of GHK-Cu serum and placed another sheep placenta mask. Finished with HA serum.

No pain, no allergic reactions, no indication of infection. Skin feels extremely soft.

Some things about my skin: The red spots are from an acne breakout last week. They are lingering discoloration and not active. I have some acne scarring around my chin. The dimple-like scars on my cheeks are from having dimple piercings for ten years, which I removed around 2 years ago. The rippled texture in the middle of my forehead (dead centre) is the faint remnants of a crescent moon scarification piece I had done ten years ago.

Microneedling With DIY Serums

Time to microneedle!
I am 32(F) with periodic cystic acne flare-ups (none present now), some raised acne scars, and fine lines.

Derminator 2 w/ 12 pins:

Forehead and Chin: 0.75mm
Cheeks: 1.0mm
Nose and Upper Lip: 0.5mm

Medium speed.
Cross-hatch pattern in small sections with 2-3 passes.

Slip: Canadian-made lyophilized PDRN I mixed in vitro with sterile practices w/ bacteriostatic saline and sterile 3% HA

Directly after, a GHK-Cu serum I mixed from lyophilized peptide, bac saline and 3% HA

To finish, a sheet mask I soaked in reconstituted lyophilized sheep placenta and 3% HA

I also take regular KLOW which speeds my healing.

Happy to answer questions; results on the way!

Long-time Lurker, First time "Derminator 2-er." How's my setup looking?

Finally bit the bullet and got my Derminator 2!

Shipping to Canada was issue-free, and taxes and duties amounted to just under $40 CAD

I'm already a DIY skin chemist of sorts, so for my treatment I will be using freeze-dried pure PDRN reconstituted with bacteriostatic saline and HA serum as slip, followed by a GHK-Cu HA serum and then a DIY sheet mask soaked in sheep placenta extract.

I am 32(F) with some fine lines, white raised acne scars, and periodic cystic acne flare-ups.

Looking forward to sharing results!
