NO they are not! Basically the entire @popsugarbeauty article is an advertisement. The pros advocating these patches all state they are for quick touch ups at home prior to an event. There is no clinical information and the article does NOT point out that at less than .2mm they BARELY penetrate the surface! There is absolutely ZERO comparison to a professional esthetic or medical Microneedling. The depth of a professional Microneedling are specific to each area of the face or body being treated. We professionals do not randomly stamp around your face without a care or thought in the world. There are very specific parameters to be followed so that you experience new cell growth while enjoying the benefit of true transdermal delivery. Do NOT be fooled by companies with their “hyperpigmentation” patches and wrinkle reversing patches. I honestly LOL’d at the thought. If only reversing negative skin conditions were so easy - I could just sell patches and retire to my own island!!!! 😂😂😂🙄💩💩💩💩 #itintelligenttreatment • : : : : #microneedling #microneedlingpatches #notasubstitute #geteducated #nomagicwand #noshortcuts #skincareprofessional #skinblogger #skincaretips (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7mGJNYp0aV/?igshid=1ws0tms9r68qs
