Feb 28, 201412 yr Go in so barely under the skin that you think you're only lifting a few cells, and it's probably the right depth Otherwise, too far under and no bleb. (LOL at "blurb"! :) )
Feb 28, 201412 yr Make sure you hold the skin taunt, place the needle bevel up and as the others stated go in barely under the skin. It just takes practice, you will get it.

Any suggestions?
