Unfortunately as of now 3 weeks post treatment I have not noticed any change. My skin peeled slightly in a few little areas but nothing major. I will be redoing treatment next week. So hard to wait the 4 weeks. I want instant results. :)

In my experience, you will see the first results after a maonth or month and a half. I have been using derma roller for 2 years now and it has been wonderful. My skin is tight, fresh and glowing. Wrinkles cannot be erased but they are less conspicuous and my overall look has greatly improved. Don't give up! (I use 0,5 mm needless. At first, I dermaroller every day. Now, when I improved my skin I use it three days a week. )
Sorry about my spelling mistakes. I should have checked.
You need patience with this treatment.
I'm wondering how its going? I'm considering needling and just came across your post, would love an update!
It takes awhile to see results, subsequent treatments are cumulative so don't give up. I also use microcurrent & LED at home and am impressed with the results. Each person is different in how they respond so don't worry that something is wrong. Your skin is filling in from below and it can take time to correct deep lines. Good luck! :)
Give some time. Patience is a virtue. It looks better to me already :)

Two days post treatment

Skin has strayed to feel very dry and rough like skin is going to peel.

Wondering if your skin will peel? Is it uncomfortable? Curious to see more
Yes it has peeled like a mild sunburn flakes off about 5-7 days after my face was only really red for an hour afterwards then a mild pink color for the rest of the day ( doesn't show in pictures )
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you, I do feel that had you used the Retin"A" cream and Vitamin " C" 20% + A Copper Peptides Cream you would have got much better results. If you put Copper Peptides into Google you will come up with sites that specialize in helping people get the best results. Since I live in Brazil and have been following quite a few experiences I've bought the Dermaroller, 1.5 , but I think I'll buy another one to start on my face and I've had all these creams made up specially for me by licensed chemists. I hope you've seen lots of improvement by now. Of course Botox would help with the forehead lines a lot, especially between the eyes.

Immediately after treatment

I used a 1mm derma roller on my face. I went in 4 different directions on each area of face 5-10 times each direction. I applied a moderate pressure. Yes it hurt but completely bearable. I washed the blood off with just water and applied coconut oil. I don't have any fancy creams yet. After it stayed very red for a couple hours and felt sunburned. The next morning it was slightly pink but not bad at all. I applied organic coconut oil 4 or 5 times on the day after

Gosh, there's another site that teaches everything about Dermarollers and they state categorically that all the products you use after the procedure should be WATER based and non-comedogenic. I hope that you're doing well. I bought one & intend to start soon. I bought a 1.5 mm but I'm beginning to think I should start with 1.00mm. I got Vit. "C" 20% lotion, for post treatment. Good luck!
where is this other site? Please share
I will order a vit c for after my next treatment ? Did you like what you used ?
I think owndoc gives details of what to do and not. I believe vitamin c should be left for a few days too but can't remember so check that.
I did mine with 1.5 then I read up on it & realised I needed some other lengths for other parts of the face...
Vit c and hydraulic acid is best.
Anything from 5. To 1.5 is ok on face other than that it's too deep to use on Face
Wow! MY Dernatologist says NOT to put oil or anything that is oily on skin. Vit "C"serum. Copper peptides are used also, but they are water soluble. I'm fairly amazed at how laymen are just doing it without any scientific knowledge...
Agree , nothing that isn't water soluble was told to me by my Plastic Surgeon, (who was horrified I was going to do it at home!) & my Dermatologist. Both of them told me that different parts of the face need different lengths of needles and that at least SIX WEEKS inbetween treatment is necessary to allow the skin to heal properly and form collagen. People are just doing it any old way and crossing their fingers. I'd be more careful and take more care of my skin than to attack it in the ways I'm reading about on this site!
