riseagainstacne 1 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i have mild boxcar and red scares on my cheeks. I been reading a lot about Dermarolling and thought i would give it a shot since i have a lot of time on my hands. I think I'm going to start off with the 1.5mm. so pretty much I'm asking: Where should i buy my dermaroller from? what Topical gels, cleansers, lotions should i use? (before and after) what Vitamins should i be taking while i do this? the Forums were seriously giving me a headache reading through all of them. i just need simple answers to these questions i would appreciate it A LOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nelo18 15 Share Posted March 12, 2012 i actually prefer derma stamp over roller. rollers hurt like hell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liquid_Ocelot 49 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Where should i buy my dermaroller from? - I recommend using a derma stamp instead. Easier to use, less chance of complications. I buy mine from jglobalsales. what Topical gels, cleansers, lotions should i use? (before and after) - Vitamin C and Terproline Professional are good choices. Don't cleanse your face for a few days after rolling. what Vitamins should i be taking while i do this? - Vitamin C is a must and another multi vitamin made specifically for skin health. I take Wellman's Skin Technology. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riseagainstacne 1 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 do you think derma stamp would be better for boxcar scares? i have some on the left side of my cheek. i also have red scares but i can deal with those. i just really want to make my boxcar scarring less noticeable. /: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much easier to use, the needles are going straight in and out, with dermaroller it goes in at an angle.I had many boxcar scars also on the left side of my cheek, most of them are either gone or extremely faint. Use a 1.5mm stamp on your cheek, 1.0mm on your temple since the skin is thinner there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here are the photos http://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/326044-photos-what-scars-do-i-have-how-to-get-rid-of-them/ Thanks, I've got a set of dermarolls and the ointments necessary for use, but I've yet to use it. I would highly recommend purchasing from http://owndoc.com/support/ there. Sarah Vaughter is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and isn't at all pushy about her product. I read a lot of her stuff over the years, but still haven't started my dermarolling for my own stretch marks. I plan to start soon, but I have some things to take care of before I begin. I plan to take before/after pictures. Read up on her site, and if you have any more questions, ask. From what I gather so far, dermarolling combined with either cocoa butter, AHA or retin-a may actually help reduce scarring and stretch marks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
