So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and use anti-aging microneedle patches. Way to go! How often should you be applying them?
What does the research tell us?
Our biggest issue is that different studies show different things. All the studies are smallish so getting firm conclusions is hard.
Some studies have found great benefits from using dissolving Hyaluronic Acid microneedle patches once a week for 4 weeks. Same thing with the patches used twice a week for 8 weeks! Other studies have found terrific results from using them once every 3 days, in the evening, for 8 weeks. Others again have looked at every 4th day for 8 weeks!
What does ESK recommend?
Based on the available evidence we are recommending using them twice a week.
While some benefits from using dissolving microneedle patches are immediate (but temporary), we recommend using Ageless patches for 2 - 3 months to see the real benefits.
