Doctor Diamond Plasma- where in routine?

I recently purchased the Doctor Diamond plasma from blue Mercury with my $50 birthday gift beauty card. It’s been a while since I added anything extra to my skin routine and I am wondering, where is the best place to insert this.

For reference:

AM routine:
Splash with water
Apply Dermatica azelaic acid 20% every other day to dry skin
Let dry for 15 minutes
Apply hydrating toners and essences (pyunkung yul essence or aestura hydro essence or both)
Apply aestura cream moisturizer
Apply sunscreen

PM routine:
Cleanse
Red light therapy on dry skin five times a week. I use the current body series 2.
Apply altreno to dry skin.
Recently started using SkinCeuticals RGN after my altreno- which I have used previously but stopped when I started altreno. Previously was using nothing after.

Frequency with Currentbody V 2

Hi,

I got my current body version 2 red light mask like a little over a week ago. Ive been using every night for 10 minutes (mask automatically turns off after 10 min).

Just read that the suggested frequency is 3-5 x a week for the version 2. Is there any harm in using every day? As long as I am not using more then 10 min each time? Anyone who has this particular mask if you could let me know your experiences and how frequently you use it!

I also posted in the current body sub and messges them but no one has responded.

Thanks!

I hip thrust 3 different ways at my gym. The first machine, second machine and smith machine (not pictured).

The second machine pictured I get an incredible pump from and really feel my glutes contract like no other. I also feel like the range of motion is phenomenal, compared to other ways of hip thrusting. BUT I’m going to outgrow it bc I already can lift the whole stack for 3 sets of 12. Which is hitting failure though atm. I have played around with other ways to increase weight here as well however (using a band across my lap with dumbbells hanging down in addition works well aka think Bella booty set up )

First machine I feel range of motion is still decent and set up looks similar to other machine but I don’t feel my glutes contract nearly as hard with that one and feel way more quads when using. Upside is it’s plate loaded so won’t outgrow it.

Finally the smith machine which obviously won’t outgrow that either. And I do feel pretty good glute contraction. But def nowhere near the second machine. But range of motion is def not ideal. Yes I could put plates under my feet but I hate doing that I just don’t like it and I feel like it messes up my form idk.

Basically is there going to be a big difference with glute hypertrophy from these different machines? Is the range of motion being better more important then struggling to progressive overload? If you were me which would you use for optimum glute growth?

Also random but is there anywhere to post on Reddit about where to find gyms with better hip thrust machines in my area which is delco PA?? Bc I would LOVE a hip thrust machine with a belt that is plate loaded lol.
