Hi all,

Today will be my first time in my entire life using the "derma-roller" product. So far, I followed the directions and have used the products afterwards. It first felt uncomfortable and I was feared that I would puncture my skin, but after getting the hang of it, it was not as bad as some people had experienced and said it would be. Just a bit weird, but I think it's all in the mind. After all, you are using a roller with hundreds of tiny micro-needles sure you will feel terrified. The pain is very minimal, depending how you can deal with it. My face does seemed to be a little "pink" after the use. Also, the after feeling feels like "sunburn" and applying the product on my face, I do feel my face working to "restore" the skin. It does feel a bit "uncomfortable" but they did say it will minimize as it heals. So, I am waiting. I am pretty excited because after 4 micro-dermabrasions, I think that helped with my face prepping it to get good results with micro-needling. :)

I am currently using 1mm needle. It does not hurt that bad like most people say it does. I think another thing is that how you tolerate your pain level? lol. Hope it helps!

So far it has been a few weeks since I got the micro-roller and used it. I will tell you this now, it really depends on your pain level. First, I followed ALL instructions and prep my skin, then I used the roller on my face. It did not seem to hurt or pinch, but let me tell you afterwards, it was very uncomfortable, seriously, I felt my skin tightening and tingling with the oil I put on my face afterwards. It will take time to get use to. But after all, my skin feels and looks great! It starts to be a bit tight and flaky, but that's normal I think. When I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror, boy does my skin and complexion look and feels fabulous! I recommend this product to anyone who had "rolling acne" scars. It looks much better too! :)

I had 4 micro-dremabrasions before I started the micro-needling, but I heard that the two can improve a lot!

Hope this helps, I will try to post pictures of before and after soon. You can really see and tell the difference in the clarity and texture of my skin, I feel and look great!!

btw..I do not know why my photos are side ways like that!

Hi there, I used a 1mm needle for the roller. To and your question, the first picture I did not use any makeup and to compare the second one I used a very light foundation and noticed my face is "flawless". I am a Makeup Artist and I have been using skincare products to keep it healthy and moisturized.

As you all know I suffered acne problems just like the rest of you out there. Trying up achieve my best and doing everything I can to make it better in appearance. Now it's been a few months, I am proud to say that my skin looks better and feels smoother even in the pictures, I didn't wear alot of makeup. My skin looks clean and non-visible. Thanks to using my snail mask, a good diet, the gym sauna and steam room, micro-dermabrasion and the derma-roller. I look and feel fabulous! !
