On Jan 6 I tried 2.0 dermaroller alng the jawline, chin, forehead, some cheek area, temples/crow's feet. I pressed rather than rolled on the chin, and forehead , and temples because of pain. I pressed and gently rolled over jaws, and some lower cheek area. It is where my skin is peeling off, and flaking off now. Its very red there too.
Any idea when redness is going to subside?

Hi maggie123, I started rolling on Jan 7 and I've had great results. I only roll for about a minute and I never press hard, just roll. I had redness the nights I use it but it goes away the next morning.

I believe it is 0.4mm. It's part of a system and I am amazed at the results. I started rolling Jan 7, 2016.

Not sure how to show you a photo of my progress.

Same here :-/ I have one scar over the right ankle. I'll take a pic on sat morning to record whether 3mm works. Pretty scary to try 3 mm on the face therefore I'll carry on with 2 mm tomorrow along the jawline and try 3 mm in 6 weeks

Hi Eva,
I have fairly thin skin. Do you think that I should go with the 0.5 or slightly larger needles.

Hey , I'm positive Eve will weigh in. What I can say is that I started with 0.5 mm a year ago. Rolled a few times and put it aside for many months until relatively lately

I may choose to use 0.5 on my neck only.1.5 seemed too aggressive . I'll try 1.0 and compare reactions
