I think the advantage of a professional treatment has to do with the shape, quality and safety of the roller/stamp needles. Is it just marketing hype? Maybe. But maybe not. And I don't want to find ...

I have tons of broken caps around my nose from picking/squeezing. I'm getting VascuLyse in a few weeks. It sounds like what Busby describes above but I'm not 100% sure. I can report back once I've ha...

I just googled it for my city (Toronto). Not many places offering it yet but it seems to be growing in popularity. I had a few consults and went with the medical esthetician that I felt a connection w...

Well, I'm not that young ☺but I'm strongly considering it anyway. If hypnosis can save me from a few more scars, great! I'm surprised no one else on the board has responded. Surely, we're not...

I just had my first dermarolling treatment for shallow-moderate scars. 2 of 3 places that I went for a consult thought it would be best for my skin. The other place recommended laser (but they didn't...

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes... I don't get much acne anymore, maybe 2 or 3 pimples a month. Trouble is, I can't stop myself from picking. It doesn't matter if the pimple is big ...

I have had 5 sessions of the Genuine Dermaroller and can tell you that it has significantly reduced my scarring and has lead to me finally having a happier life! I'm not finished with my acne scar jo...

Ditto on the positive thoughts. I truly hope it works out for you. While my issues aren't due to cortisone, my ex-derm caused damage to my face too. I fell into a deep depression. I am better now t...

I would be concerned if the doc wanted to roll your whole face with 2.5mm (especially without a general anaesthetic) but based on what I've read, a test stamp at that length should be ok. But hey, I'...

Yes, some scars have gone poof! Mostly my shallow rolling scars have disappeared. My scars are confined to my cheeks so I'm sorry but I can't comment on the effectiveness in other areas of the face. C...

Quirky Fox, many thanks for your response. You really have given me hope! With respect to your scars, have you actually had some 'fill' up to the point were they aren't noticeable anymore? Where di...

I think I've read all the derma rolling/needling related comments on acne.org. I understand some people feel its a scam. I know that many find success doing it themselves at home and don't think it'...
