Why pair HYAH Serum with a Derma Stamp?
The Derma Stamp creates tiny micro-channels at the skin's surface as part of the microneedling process. HYAH is a lightweight, water-based 2% hyaluronic acid serum that can be used during and after your session for hydration without a heavy or oily feel.
What makes HYAH different from other hyaluronic acid serums?
HYAH was intentionally formulated with a short, purposeful ingredient list. It contains 2% sodium hyaluronate with hibiscus and botanical ingredients, without synthetic preservatives, synthetic stabilizers, synthetic fragrance or filler ingredients. Because the formula doesn't rely on synthetic stabilizers, some natural settling from the hibiscus extract may occur.
Can I use HYAH Serum while I'm stamping?
Yes. Apply a thin layer before working on an area and add more as needed during your session. HYAH can also be applied again after stamping.
Can I use HYAH Serum every day?
Yes. HYAH is an everyday hydrating serum and can be used daily, including between microneedling sessions.
What does 2% hyaluronic acid mean?
HYAH contains 2% sodium hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid that helps attract and retain moisture at the skin's surface, leaving skin feeling hydrated and smooth.
What depth should I use at home?
For at-home face microneedling, stay at 0.5 mm or below. Although the stamp physically adjusts up to 3.0 mm, the maximum setting is not a recommended at-home depth.
How often should I use the Derma Stamp?
For at-home use at 0.25–0.5 mm, once weekly to every other week is a simple starting schedule. Give your skin time between sessions.
Does derma stamping hurt?
How it feels varies by person, depth, pressure and treatment area. Shorter settings generally feel milder. Because the stamp is manual, you control the pressure of every press.
Can I use the stamp on my nose, neck and around my eyes?
The stamp can be used on areas such as the face, nose and neck with additional care on smaller or delicate areas. Around the eyes, stay on the orbital bone area and do not stamp the eyelids or too close to the eye. Use a shorter depth and light pressure on delicate areas.
Can I use another serum instead of HYAH?
Not every skincare ingredient is appropriate around microneedling. Choose a simple, water-based serum intended for use with your routine and avoid potentially irritating actives immediately around microneedling.
Can I use this bundle on my scalp?
The Derma Stamp itself can be used for scalp routines, but this bundle is designed primarily for face microneedling and hydration. For a scalp-focused routine, see our Derma Stamp + Rosemary Hair Serum Bundle.
What's the difference between a Derma Stamp and a Microneedle Pen?
The Derma Stamp is reusable and completely manual, with no batteries, charging or disposable cartridges. The Beautimate Microneedle Pen is motorized and uses sterile, single-use cartridges. See our Microneedling Pen vs. Derma Stamp guide for a full comparison.
How do I clean the Derma Stamp?
Clean it with 70% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use and allow it to dry completely before replacing the protective cap.
How many times can I reuse the Derma Stamp?
Replace the stamp after approximately 6–10 uses, or sooner if the pins appear bent, dull or damaged. Keep the stamp for personal use only.
