Ok so I've had this derma roller from MTS 1.5mm for at least 2 yrs but never used it because it looked scary. Lately I've noticed my skin pores large and acne scars more noticeable and my make up didn't go as smooth as before so I decided to give it a go. I rolled it on my cheeks 10x in each direction didn't use much force since it was my first time. I first washed my face w baking soda and water as that is my new exfoliator; pat dried and began roiling. My skin became a bit swollen and red an tingling but was not very painful. I applied some aloe vera lotion to calm it a bit. Hopefully it works since I hate going to doctors/spas.

I've never heard of baking soda and water as a cleanser...i know it makes a good neutralizer for chemical peels. Is it not drying to your skin? I'm excited to see your progress!

Have you continued to use the dermaroller? Did you see any results?

Sorry for such a late update. I've used the derma roller irregularly for the past year maybe monthly. Pores are def smaller but not much difference overall. Perhaps if I was more discipline I would have better results.

Hey, I can see good improvements. May be most shallower scars you had has improved mostly. How many sessions you had through the year??

How did you get rid of your acne marks? I can see that you're still trying to get rid of the "pitted" scars but just wondering what you did to diminish the left over hyperpigmentation from the scars. Thanks.
