Micro needle with roller- oweeeee!

[Polkadot1974]

Actual rolling didn’t hurt much but I’m now bright red. This is normal right? I’ll look 10 years younger by morning? Reassurance or tips please!! Thanking you

Hi, I think it is normal, what size roller are you using? Some places it said to use 3 times a week, and other place it said use every day for 1 week and then give skin another week to recover and rejuvenate. How are you doing it?

I've just ordered one too (0.75MM) from Amazon and I am hoping to start it as soon as it arrives. I have been reading up on it, and I am not sure what cream to use after it. I've got the origins night cream and I might use that. I'm also looking at dermalen treatment too (which is very pricey) but not sure yet.

Do let me know how it goes! :)

0.25. I cleansed then applied some facial oil and did it. It’s calmed down now and I’m just a bit tingly hoping for good things

@Polkadot1974 Mine has arrived today, hoping to start tonight! Bit scared as its 0.75MM but I'm hoping it'll be good and will work.

What does it do??

Ooh, where did you order yours from, please?

Amazon £7.99. Just done it again- it's supposed to promote cell renewal. Feels tingly but not too painful

Braver then me diving straight into bigger needle. There was a video on YouTube- diagonal, vertical, horizontal x2 and split face into zones. She didn’t go near the eyes and went over the lips which I didn’t. Would’ve killed I thought!

@ownedbySWD It is meant to reduce pores, pigmentation and appearance of scars

@Polkadot1974 Actually 0.75MM was fine and it didn't hurt me (I do have a high pain threshold though). I am going to do it for a few weeks but I am hoping to move onto 1.5MM. I read a journal paper yesterday from India where they used the dermroller (1.5MM) once every month for 4 months, and the results were staggering:

I read about that study initially on this blog:

@HeyMicky I also got mine from Amazon. This one to be precise

I am going to get one with more MM next time round.

I've got one that I've never used as I read stuff that said it would actually damage the skin not help rejuvenate it which I was hoping for 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks Pete I actually bought that brand yesterday, although a smaller needle length. Good to know!

How are you all getting on?

I rolled yesterday, and now I am thinking whether I should just buy the 1.5MM and be brave and do it once a month?

Owwwwww. I go to a clinic for mine. They put anasthetic cream on my face before hand. Yeah its red for 2 days after.

I've rolled twice and applied vit C after. Several people have commented and I feel like my skin is brighter and plumper - not because of collagen yet, of course, but because the products can penetrate more effectively

@HeyMicky Wonderful! Which vitamin C serum do you use?

@wizzywig How many sessions have you had and is it working? Do you bleed a bit as well whilst they are doing it?

The ordinary Vit C suspension 23%
