Hi there guys,I posted this under the "Dermarolling Support Thread" as well,here is the thing,I underwent a series of dermarolling about a few months ago and now I'm starting to notice shallow line depressions over where the needles went on or also called "trackmarks".

Any of you guys who have done the same procedure experienced any of this? Or do you guys know of any way to treat this. Or is this just another permanent damage I stupidly inflicted on myself? Please give me your thoughts,thanks a lot guys,appreciate it.

I think using a dermastamp is much less risky, cos you dont get track marks, as there is no rolling motion

Most likely this will heal up

are you taking high doses of vit c and zinc? and using a good quality moisturiser for scarring such as terproline?

I don't have any experiance with dermarolling, but am considering.

I was wondering what needle length you used, how often you rolled, etc?

Thank-you.

You should always lift the roller after one roll. If you just go back and forth, you will roll over the same holes each time. That could cause a track effect.

I had gotten track marks from rolling before but they went away after a week...mine looked like they were just bruising or maybe redness caused by the needles doing damage to the skin from coming out at an angle.....I would dermastamp...it takes longer yes...but its A LOT LESS PAINFUL

Damn,I guess I learnt the hard way :/
Yes I have been taking Vitamin C (1000mg a day) and Zinc (22mg a day)
And nope,never heard of Terproline before,I guess my lack of knowledge got me again now >__<

I didn't do the rolling myself,went to the beauty centre to get it (I know it's stupid,regretting everything now!) and I did three sessions 10 days apart.
And I am not sure of the needle length either

I didn't do the rolling myself,fatal mistake I guess. Do you think these will ever heal up?

It's been two months now and they are still there,is it safe to say that I have scarred from it? :/
Damn it my skin would look better if I haven't gone for it,now besides a few boxcars,I have lots of scratch marks and stupid track marks

how much research have you done on Dermarolling and supplementing with vitamins, to enable to skin to heal up optimally?

You seriously have to up your vit c intake. 1,000 mg is not enough. You shoould be upping it to at least 3,000 mg if not higher. do your research on this.

Also same with the Zinc, research a safe dosage, but its higher than what you are taking.

Whomever did this treatment on you, have you contacted them to let them know what has happened????

Oh wow,okay,thanks for the heads up,I guess I still don't know a lot of stuff! ^^
Nope I haven't,do you think there's still a chance of me healing up?

You have to watch out with how much zinc u take in at once...if I take 50mg or more I feel like Im about to die and vomit within 15 minutes....I guess the downside to someone doing the rolling for u is that they can roll your face without mercy bc when u feel the pain while your doing it yourself you have a better idea of how hard to do it and how to hold back

hi healing 2.0

i have no prob taking that much zinc, i have actually taken higher than that but I dont get upset tummy

zinc is also absorbed better on an empty stomach but then that maybe why you have felt that feeling of wanting to vomit too.

You may have to experiment to see how you handle it.
