Hi guys,
I decided to give skin needling a chance. Recently I got my second subscision and I think my deepest scars aren`t that harsh anymore, so I now want to improve the skin texture and also smooth the rest of my mild to moderate scarring.
I tried to use the forum seach, but it`s either not working or did it wrong. I would be very greatful if you can refer me to a legit source where I can see the basics. I'm sure these questions has been answered thousands times here, but what I need to know is:
Is dermastamp better targeting individual scars?
Can I combine dermaroller and dermastamp for best results?
What needle size should I pick for real results - 0.5,1.0,1.5?
How often should I roll/stamp?
How agressive/intesive and how long?
Should I start carefully and gradually increase the parameters - needle size, intesity, rolling time?
What is the downtime? Or How long the redness and swelling lasts?
When can I expect some results?
What pre/post rolling products should I use?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Nicky
I would go to a professional and get Genuine Dermaroller treatments. However, if you can't afford it and/or are set on doing it at home, here's my advice.
- Dermastamp is better for treating isolated scars
- You can combine a stamp and roller.
- 1.5mm is needed to really affect scarring
- Treatments should be 6-8 weeks apart
- Don't stop until you've achieved pin point bleeding. Your skin should be very red. This doesn't mean rolling/stamping away at your skin until it's a bloody mess.
- Yes, start gradually until you are more comfortable with the pain and your technique is good.
- Downtime shouldn't be more than 3-4 days. Meaning yor face looks sunburnt, not scabby.
- Results take a looooong time. You need to be patient.
- Use hyaluronic acid serum post rolling. No 'actives' for a few days pre and post roll.
Hope that helps!
Thanks DJM204
Unfortuantely I doubt I'll find such professional in my country.
So I don`t need to bother with 1mm needles(even at the beginning) and I should directly start with 1.5? On amazon I also see 2mm, 2.5 and even
3mm rollers/stamps, has anybody used them at home?
Is it a good idea ot use tretinoin in the "rock & roll" days? 
Sorry, English is not my native, what do you mean by?
No 'actives' for a few days pre and post roll.
