(TikTok made me buy GloPRO Microneedling tool, motherhood made me test it properly.)
As a stay-at-home mom of three, I don’t usually have time for anything fancy—my skincare routine is usually somewhere between “baby wipe” and “leftover serum I forgot I bought.” But TikTok got me again.
Let me just say this is not a budget buy. It’s sold for around $199 USD for the starter kit (tool, roller head, charger, and spritzer) Meanwhile, the refill heads are sold about $35-$45 each, and they recommend replacing them every 3 months.
I got mine directly on Amazon.com as I didn’t want to deal with the shipping hassles of shopping from the official website beautybio.com
About BeautyBio GloPRO
The GloPRO Microneedling Tool is from BeautyBio, a luxury skincare brand based in Dallas, Texas, founded by Jamie O’Banion.
The GloPRO is a microneedling device that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in your skin. This process is supposed to:
- Trigger your body’s natural collagen production
- Help skincare products absorb up to 200x better
- Improve the look of wrinkles, texture, and tone over time
It also has a built-in red LED light to stimulate healing and a vibration feature that supposedly boosts circulation and enhances results. It’s like a spa treatment—but in your messy bathroom after the kids are in bed.
My Experience (3 Weeks, No Filter)
I started with high hopes. My skin was looking tired, postpartum dull, and just… blah. I needed a glow-up, and if this tool could deliver that without a $300 facial, I was down.
Here’s what happened:
Week 1:
- Slight redness after each use, like a mild sunburn
- No real pain—just a prickly, scratchy feeling (kind of like a cat licking your face)
- I followed with hyaluronic acid and hoped for the best
Week 2:
- Skin looked a little smoother—maybe. It could’ve been the serum talking
- No irritation or breakouts, which I was nervous about
- Still not seeing major results, but I kept going
Week 3:
- Some glow and firmness around my forehead
- Reduced the wrinkles on my forehead
- Fine lines reduced a bit. Still there. Pores? Not much difference
To be honest, it felt like I was doing something fancy—but results? wasn’t the overnight transformation TikTok promised.
My Before & After Results
Let me preface this by saying: no filters, no ring lights, no magical skincare fairy visited me at night.
Before:
- Dull, tired skin
- Slight texture on cheeks and forehead
- Hormonal spots from postpartum life
After 3 Weeks:
- Skin felt smoother to the touch
- Forehead wrinkles cleared
- Slight improvement in overall glow
Would a stranger notice the difference? hopefully, yes. I’ve gotten a compliment or two from strangers. Would I say my skin felt a bit better? Yes. But I expected more after 3 weeks of being so consistent (which, let’s be honest, is a miracle in mom life).
How to Microneedle at Home with GloPRO (The Simple Mom-Friendly Version)
If you’ve never microneedled before, don’t panic. It’s actually easier than it sounds—and doesn’t involve drawing blood or sacrificing your sanity.
Here’s the basic routine I followed:
Step 1: Start with a Clean Face
Remove all makeup and wash with a gentle cleanser. Pat dry. You want a squeaky-clean surface because microneedling creates tiny micro-openings—aka not a place for leftover foundation.
Step 2: Sanitize Your GloPRO
Use the sanitizing spritz that comes with the device (or rubbing alcohol) to disinfect the roller head before every use.
Step 3: Roll It Like You Mean It
Turn on the device. It will light up red and gently vibrate. Roll it slowly across your face using light pressure:
- Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal strokes
- 1–2 minutes total is plenty
- Avoid sensitive areas like eyelids and lips
It feels weird at first—like Velcro or cat tongue—but you get used to it.
Step 4: Apply a Serum
Within 60 seconds of rolling, apply your favorite serum. I used hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and plump. They claim product absorption increases by 200x after microneedling, so don’t skip this step.
Step 5: Clean the Roller Head Again
Spritz it and store it somewhere clean and dry until next time. Replace the roller head every 3 months (if you actually keep up with it).
Pros
- Easy to use, even for a busy mom
- No downtime or harsh irritation
- Feels luxurious and “spa-like” at home
- Pairs well with serums
- Lightweight and rechargeable
Cons
- Expensive
- You have to be very consistent for up to a month to maybe see results
FAQ
Q: Does microneedling hurt?
Not really. It’s more annoying than painful—like rubbing Velcro on your cheeks. No numbing cream needed.
Q: Can I use it every day?
No. BeautyBio recommends using it 2-3 times per week to give your skin time to heal in between.
Q: What serums should I use after microneedling?
Stick to gentle, hydrating serums like hyaluronic acid or peptides. Skip anything with retinol or acids unless a dermatologist gives you the green light.
Q: Can pregnant or breastfeeding moms use it?
There’s no official warning against it, but always check with your doctor first—especially since microneedling involves skin stimulation.
Q: How soon will I see results?
Some people see a “glow” quickly, but for real collagen-building results, give it at least 8-12 weeks. I only used it for 3, so maybe I jumped the gun.
Final Thoughts from a Tired Mom Who Tried It
Would I call this a miracle device? Nope. But it is a fancy little self-care moment in my chaotic life. If you’re a skincare junkie and you’re consistent, you might love it. If you’re a busy mom like me hoping for an overnight glow-up… you need to be patient.

What Do Dermatologists Say About Microneedling and GloPRO?
Dermatologists have mixed feelings. Here’s the rundown:
✅ In Favor:
- Microneedling does work when done correctly and consistently—it helps with collagen production, improves skin texture, and can reduce fine lines over time.
- At-home microneedling tools like GloPRO are safe for beginners because the needles are short (usually 0.3 mm), meaning you won’t go too deep or risk infection if used properly.
❌ Caution Flags:
- Results take time—3 weeks isn’t long enough to see major collagen boosts.
- At-home tools won’t go as deep as professional microneedling (0.5–1.5 mm), so the results are milder.
- Some dermatologists say you’re better off with chemical exfoliation or retinoids unless you’re committed to microneedling for the long haul.
So while GloPRO is safe for regular home use, just don’t expect professional-level results. It’s more of a slow-and-steady self-care tool.
