WORTH IT$50
I am all about budget friendly beauty - enter the home derma roller! I purchased mine online from a reputable website (I’m in New Zealand). It came with a handle, carry case and 3 roller heads. 0.5mm, 1mm and 1.5mm
I’m a qualified Beauty Therapist so I felt very confident using this myself. I’m 29 with acne prone skin, I have discolouration and uneven skin tone and have light acne scarring - mostly around my mouth and jaw. Luckily for me wrinkles aren’t a huge concern right now but I do have a very deep marionette line on my right side which drives me crazy!
I began my treatment today with the 0.5mm roller all over my face and avoiding the eye area. The pain was tolerable and I didn’t need to apply a numbing cream, although the pain increased as the endorphins kicked in! I used the 1mm roller on my line and around my mouth and did apply a small amount of numbing cream in this area.
There was a very small amount of pinpoint bleeding with the 0.5 but this was barely noticeable. I had a fair amount of bleeding with the 1mm but nothing too severe and it subsided within a couple of minutes. I prepared my skin with a gentle cleanser and light moisturiser.
The aftermath - very red sunburnt looking skin which is sore but not unmanageable. I will update this with my next at home session! I plan to roll the faint stretch-marks on my stomach and thighs but need to grab a new tube of numbing cream before attempting this!
