Microneedling Serum Use (Made Easy)

So, you’ve heard about the VT Reedle Shot, or maybe you’ve already tried it. But if you ended up with redness, irritation, or didn’t see the results you were hoping for, don’t worry—you’re definitely not alone. 

Whether it’s applying too much, rubbing it in too hard, or mixing it with products that don’t quite match, it’s easy to get lost in the details.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to guess anymore. This guide is here to clear up all the confusion and show you how to use your microneedling serum the right way, so you can get the glowing, smooth skin you’re aiming for. 

Let’s cut through the noise and get you on the path to better results!

VT Reedle Shot In A Nutshell

So in a nutshell, the VT Reedle Shot is a beauty booster that focuses on enhancing your skin’s health from the inside out. Think of it as a type of skin treatment that helps your skin cells regenerate more efficiently, leading to smoother, brighter, and overall healthier-looking skin.

Now, you might be wondering: Is it a serum? A facial treatment? Well, not exactly. 

The VT Reedle Shot is an injectable treatment, so yes, it’s a shot! But don’t worry—it’s not as scary as it sounds. It’s a carefully crafted formula injected into your skin to give it a boost, helping it tackle issues like wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin texture. 

Basically, a Botox in a bottle—minus the needles.

Potency Types: What’s the Deal?

When it comes to VT Reedle Shots, you’ll notice they come in different potencies. Essentially, this means there are varying strengths, so you can choose the right one based on what your skin needs. Some people need a gentler option, while others are looking for something a bit more powerful. Let’s break it down:

• 100 Potency: This is the gentler choice, great for beginners or those with more sensitive skin. It focuses on hydration, improving skin tone and giving your skin a natural, healthy glow. If you’re just starting out with microneedling serums, this is your go-to for a more subtle effect.
• 300 Potency: This is the middle ground. If your skin could use some texture refining and you want to smooth out minor wrinkles, this is a solid pick. It improves skin tone and texture without going overboard. You’ll start seeing a noticeable difference without having to jump straight into the heavier formulas.

And honestly, unless you’re dealing with deep wrinkles, serious hyperpigmentation, or skin that’s lost a lot of firmness, you probably won’t need the 700 or 1000 potencies just yet. 

Those are for more advanced concerns—so stick with the 100 or 300 for now, and you’ll see great results.

Benefits You Can Expect from VT Reedle Shots

There are a number of impressive benefits that come with this treatment. Here’s a few:

• Smoother Skin: If you’ve got rough or uneven texture or fine lines, this treatment helps to even everything out. It’s like putting a filter over your face—without the app.
• Brightening: If dullness is an issue for you, or maybe dark spots? The Reedle Shot can help rejuvenate your skin, and fade dark spots leaving you with that natural, lit-from-within glow. No more tired, lackluster skin!
• Firming: Over time, the shot can improve your skin’s elasticity, giving it a firmer, more youthful appearance. It’s like a mini lift, but much more subtle.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use VT Reedle Shot

Now, I’ve been testing this product, and let me tell you, using it correctly makes all the difference. This isn’t your typical serum or cream. It has micro-spicules (tiny needle-like particles) that help renew your skin, but if you’re not careful, you might end up with irritation instead of glowing skin.

So, let me walk you through how to use VT Reedle Shot the right way—plus, I’ll share what to expect!

Step 1: Start with a Clean Face

Always begin with a fresh, clean face. Make sure to remove all makeup, sunscreen, and dirt. I’ve used the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser here and I absolutely love it. This cleanser perfectly removes all the impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture.

After you’re done cleansing, pat your skin dry with a soft towel. No harsh rubbing!

Step 2: Apply a Small Amount (Less is More!)

Pro tip- Don’t do what I did here. This is just to show you the texture and what’s underneath the bottle. For use- take about a pea-sized amount and gently and EVENLY spread it across the face.

DON’T Rub, instead just gently pat like I did here— let the spicules settle onto your skin naturally. Rubbing too much can make it feel extra prickly (trust me, I learned this the hard way!).

Step 3: Expect Some Tingling

At first, I was shocked by the prickly sensation. It feels like tiny needles on your skin, which can be intense if you’re not used to it. But don’t panic! This is totally normal. It means the spicules are working their way into your skin to boost renewal.

Step 4: Let It Absorb (Patience is Key!)

Give it around 10 to 15 minutes to fully absorb. During this time, avoid touching your face or layering other products. The spicules need time to settle in, so let them do their thing!

Step 5: Follow with a Soothing Moisturizer

Once it’s absorbed, apply a hydrating and calming moisturizer to help soothe your skin. Look for ingredients like Centella Asiatica, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid—these are lifesavers! If you need recommendations, check out some of my favorite options’ [here].

Step 6: Skip Harsh Exfoliants & Actives

Very important: For the next 24 to 48 hours, avoid strong exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, retinol, or vitamin C. Your skin is already working hard to renew itself, so using actives on top can cause irritation (I made this mistake once, and my skin was not happy).

Step 7: Sunscreen is a Must!

Your skin will be more sensitive after using VT Reedle Shot, so SPF 50+ is non-negotiable. Apply sunscreen every morning and reapply throughout the day. If you’re not sure which K-beauty sunscreen to use, I’ve got some favorites for you [here].

Step 8: Use It Wisely (Less is More!)

This is not an everyday product. Depending on your skin’s tolerance, using it once or twice a week is enough. Overusing it can lead to irritation, so listen to your skin and adjust accordingly.

Who Should Try The VT Reedle Shot? 

VT Reedle Shots aren’t for everyone. If you have extremely sensitive skin or certain allergies, you might want to consult a dermatologist first. However, for most people, this treatment offers a safe and effective option to target those frustrating skin issues that just don’t seem to go away with regular skincare.

Also, remember that this is a skin treatment, not a miracle cure. Yes, it can deliver some serious improvements, but it’s still important to maintain a solid skincare routine and lifestyle to keep those results glowing. In other words, don’t expect to skip your sunscreen and suddenly have perfect skin just because you got a shot.

The Bottom Line

VT Reedle Shot is one of those products that sounds intense but is actually pretty straightforward. Use it correctly, and you’ll see smoother, glowier skin over time. Just remember—less is more, and consistency is key.
