    • Mistake #1: Too Much Pressure. Explaining that the needles should do the work, not your hand.

    • Mistake #2: Using the Wrong Serum. Why you should never microneedle with Vitamin C or acids (and why Hyaluronic Acid is your best friend).

    • Mistake #3: Not Changing Your Tool. Why needles get dull and "hooked" after 3–5 uses, leading to skin damage.

    • Mistake #4: Skipping the Sunscreen. The skin is highly vulnerable for 48 hours post-treatment.

    • The Fix: A simplified "re-start" routine for better results.
