24/3/2014 - Third Roll

I rolled my whole face tonight, I really hope I did not do it too soon. I have read it is best to wait between 4-6 weeks the longer the better. I had a few days off so decided to do it tonight as I will be working for the next two weeks with no down time. The thought of not being able to wear make up the next day is ghastly (I would look it for sure).

I feel like I have done a better roll with more pressure (even had that popping sound and some pin point bleeding), but boy it hurts when I put the serum on afterwards. All in the name of looking younger... Teheh grimace!

I have heard that some say bleeding is not good, and then I have read the opposite. Meh! I think this was the best roll I have done, the first one I am not counting as I was so gentle.

Still waiting for my 1.5 mm stamp from ebay .... It was supposed to be an AU store although I now think it is being sent from China .. Not happy but oh well.
I will take photo's before my next roll and this time I am going to wait 5 weeks.

PammyT - I am going to buy some other products to use but I have had a few rather large bills over the last month .. Grim face .. But will try some Vitamin E next and I am interested in Vitamin A also.

What I noticed is that rollers differ. I bought a 1.5 roller that didn't hurt at all, and didn't even make my skin red. I had heard about people using numbing creams and talking about how painful it was. I thought "there is something fishy here", so I bought another 1.5 roller from somewhere else, and it hurt like crazy. What I noticed was the first roller had more needles and they were very close together, so they weren't actually penetrating. The second roller had less needles and was penetrating. So keep that in mind. Also, the face is more resilient than the neck.

Thank you for this review. Would be very interested in an update, I think it takes a month or so to see the full result. Thank You!

Someone on an earlier thread talked about a site that offered thorough instructions for derma rolling. It discusses how often to roll, length of needle to use, sterilization etc. I'd check that out. I don't think we can name sites but check google 'dermaneedling instructions' and it should offer better insight into how you should be doing it.

10/2/2014 - No roll this week

I have chosen not to roll fro another two weeks. The last roll was quiet hard and I think my skin needs more time to heal and generate collagen. I have heard that you should not roll it to often, as it needs time to repair.
I did order a 1.5 mm stamp today bought it for $5.89 from ebay, it is one of those manual ones that you press onto your skin (It reminds me of a meat tenderizer). I am just going to use it on my cheeks where I have the worst wrinkles and I will roll with the 1 mm every where else.
I also bought some numbing cream from ebay Super numb, it is the same strength as the emla cream and double the size for $12.00 much better value.

Second Roll 3/3/2014

I rolled again tonight and wow I really gave it a go this time, I feel like my face is glowing from heat and very sun burnt. I also pushed harder on the wrist scars but still a little less than my face. I did not notice anything at all from the last roll although I did not really push or roll hard at all.
I will be getting a 1.5 mm to do my face soon as this seems to be the popular size for any real improvement.
I did put the vitamin C on straight after I rolled and boy did it sting ... :/ may try something like vitamin E next time as vitamin C can be to hard on my skin.

Thanks shelly70, I'll be watching your progress!:) I've rolled before and it does take some practice before you get comfortable to really give the roller some good pressure. Vit C can be very painful, I'd just put something on your skin to keep it hydrated. I use Sarah vaughters infadolin or some other stuff called fawnie ace rolling oil. She puts a lot of good stuff in her oil!
