Hopefully Will Help with Wrinkles and Skin Laxity Oh Yes and These Darn Age Spots - London, ON

Well I have to say I ready lots of reviews first...
$45
Well I have to say I ready lots of reviews first and spoke with my plastic surgeon who strongly believes in derma rolling being the only thing that helps with skin laxity. So I decided to try some home treatments before I go in for anything major in his office. For home treatments I bought a kit off amazon for $38 plus shipping. It came with three different heads .5mm for around the eyes. 1mm for the face and 2mm for the body. I am hoping to decrease the amount of dark pigmentation on my face. As well as help with the loose skin around my mouth area decrease visible wrinkles in my forehead and around my low cheek area from smiling. I am also using the 2mm on my stomach and butt for skin laxity. hips for stretch marks and posterior legs for cellulite. This is a tall order I'm demanding from this little roller. I will keep you updated.

Which kit? I'm 48 and need help badly, but am unsure about which rollers. There are so many.

how often do you treat with 2.0 mm on cellulite? what is pain level?

So far I have only done it the once because everything I have read says to wait 4-6 weeks in between treatments. But it's hard to resist doing it more often. But I have read that over treating actually damages your skin. So I will wait 2 more weeks before I treat my legs with the 2.mm again. Pain level was 4 at the start and 6 by the end because you have to go over the same area in different directions 4 times. Ouch. But manageable.

I recommend heading over to "owndoc" and taking a look their guidelines for rolling. Also, IRRC, rolling can actually increase pigmentation. I'd love for you to share own doc with your doctor and see what he thinks.
Thank you for your post! I'm excited to hear what you think about the derma roller! What area(s) will you tackle first?
Be sure to post some pics too! Love to see your results!
