    Vikki.....it helps with the lines on the upper lip. I haven't had drastic results in that area, but have definately seen improvement. That area is a little more sensitive/uncomfortable, so I think I'm a little more conservative in that area. You're going to love the results. The texture of your skin will improve greatly.

    Kathi....it's not fair! I do spend that much time. Cross rolling which is the proper technique takes time. My legs do get little blood specs. I only do it every few months now. My face is where I have seen the best results. I used to get botox and I haven't had botox in over a year. I'd like to add that started seeing a doctor that specializes in hormone therapy in November and the biodentical hormones that I'm taking may also be contributing to the improvement in my skin.

    Hi Jean, I've found this link informative for general information about rolling http://skinverse.com/skin-needling-and-dermarolling-for-scars-and-wrinkles.html

    From what I've read you should only be rolling every 6 weeks or so. The collagen needs time to remodel before damaging the dermis and rebuilding again. If you are using a small needle it won't penetrate as deep, but with the length that you're using I think you need to wait a little longer between treatments. I also use the 1.5mm and have had great results. I only roll every 3 mos and have done it 3 or 4x total.....the naso folds are gone and my lines have diminished greatly. The texture of my skin is amazing.

    You roll firmly. The needles should fully penetrate. Keep in mind that you choose a roller with the desired length of needle based upon what you would like to achieve. The needle can only go as deep as the length that you select. I personally haven't rolled with a needle length of more that 1.5mm
