Immediately post procedure, it plumped up my skin...
- 25 Jun 2011
Immediately post procedure, it plumped up my skin (due to the trauma of the pin pricks) and so yes, my acne scarring looked "diminished". I think however, had i gone to a plastic surgeon/cosmetic surgeon, he would have used a longer pin, therefore penetrating further, and causing more of an effect.
I will have this done again, but only with a doctor, not a beauty salon(where its only superficial needling), and pay an extra $200 but where the results should be even better.
I found the procedure pain-free.

My rating:
Did not have the procedure with a doctor, but at a beauty salon, so not relevant.
Since my last post, i've purchased my own dermarollers and have been dermarolling myself regularly (to save money and time - travelling with newborn twins is somewhat of a luxury these days! lol). I've found it hasn't diminished my acne scarring at all; however, it has certainly produced great results with skin texture, tightness and complexion. I don't use any topical anaesthetic, so i find the procedure somewhat painful over certain areas of my face. Namely, brow, nose and under eye areas. The trick is to put on your chosen night cream, and then dermaroller it into your skin. For that reason, i choose to use only natural skin products (namely, quality rose hip oil) as the thought of having synthetics penetrate into my skin doesn't appeal. If i knew how to upload a photo, i would, to show state of skin post pregnancy - i dermarolled throughout my pregnancy and have had absolutely no melasma (which i was told by a doctor you can't really get rid of). Would highly recommend derma rolling either professionally (for a deeper treatment) or at home (for maintenance). Best wishes to all.
Hi Miss,
Well, although you will go to a doctor next time I'm glad this worked well for you and gave you, for the most part, the results you were hoping for. We'd love to see pictures if you are comfortable. Please keep us updated.
Thanks so much for the review, enjoy your week!
