okay, one session one day later- not much is going to happen....you read up on what to expect right?
you really need to be well read on this procedure before you start- sterilize everything, before and after- use the right technique and after care is critical
oh and the most important one of all when rolling is BE PATIENT (that one always gets me too!)....I've been stamping for a couple of years and the progress in undeniable, slow but steady
what size roller did you use?
Haha oh my god... You didn't really expect it to fix anything right after the first time you used it did you?Are you sure you have a 2.5? I can't imagine it not barely piercing your skin. I have a 1.5 and I'm not sure if it's because I was using a .5 first but it's intimidating. They say you shouldn't you anything higher than 1.5 at home on yourself so I would be really careful. Have you already looked at this? http://dermaroller.owndoc.com/dermaroller-instructions.pdf It doesn't even have a waiting time period for a 2.5 but I wouldn't do it any sooner than in 7-8 weeks. I can't stress that enough. If you do it sooner you will damage your skin. If you google the dermaroller damaging people or not working it's cause they do it way more often than they should.
What exactly are you trying to improve? Scars? Because if you are just expecting temporary swelling I don't know how worth it that would be because yeah you'll be temporarily puffy but you're also going to be red and blotchy at the same time. I make sure I don't have to go anywhere the next day because you shouldn't wear makeup within 12 hours either.
Hi- I PM'd you.
- Wait 7-8 weeks between sessions
- depending on how deep you went, you will peel and look worse, so treat it like a peel and hydrate with clean serums immediately after.
- don't use on active acne
- don't put makeup on over it the first 12 hrs
- if you're oily, it will stimulate more oil and potentially break you out
- dermarolling is for wrinkles and scars (not pimples, not scabs)
