Hi i have used the derma roller 5 times a week for the past 7 weeks and have seen no improvement what so ever..All the reviews i have read say its worked within days ..well it hasnt for me at all what a waste. i do keep falling for it so maybe im too blame but who can you trust when so desperate to get rid of some lines above my lips.

i have also tried pixel laser and that was no use either. is there really anything that works out there rather than me making bad choices and losing money all the time..

Great review?

I recommend Derma Roller to be done by a skin care professional. Never buy a made-in-china cheap roller from Amazon.. There are techniques for derma roller and protocols.. I read tons of reviews of derma-rollers in amazon and these people don't know what they are doing. I love the way professionals do derma-roller in Australia. Contrary clients down here in the U.S. who think they are doing a great job by shopping for the lowest quality rollers on amazon and ebay. Dermarolled 5 TIMES, I must laugh at this one.

HI Kenz,

Welcome tot he Derma Roller community. I'm sorry as of yet you are not happy with the Derma Roller. You might want to check out the answers to the question, Does Derma Roller Work for Deep Acne Scars, in our doctor Q&A. The doctors have provided their opinion on the procedure. Please keep us updated if the results change and how you are doing.

Thanks so much for the review,

-Britt

You're only supposed to roll every 6 to 8 weeks to allow for collagen remodeling. The size of the roller also dictates the effects that you will achieve. I personally use a 1.5mm roller and have had great results. I don't use the DermaRoller brand, but rather a surgical steel roller that I bought off of ebay - I regularly sanitize during each rolling and apply a vitamin c serum before and after. I've rolled twice now and love the results. It is not pain free, but it is tolerable and way less expensive than any of the laser treatments that I've had done.
