Derma needling requires a self-disiplined commitment - Bay Area, CA

Dermarolling every week

WORTH IT$60
I'm back to derma rolling, but doing it once per week with a 1.5mm dermaroller. I don't press hard, just hard enough to make my face red, not bleed. I'm very pleased with the results and will keep on with this routine, probably my whole life. I also use an infrared light on my face, five days per week, but I think it's the needling that really makes the difference.

It's Feb. 24 2013 today, and I wanted to update. I recently saw a video interview with Dr. Des Fernandes and I was really impressed with the condition of his skin at age 70, after several years of regular needling. It inspired me to go back to my needling routine, although I'll be doing it only once every four weeks now, in addition to my Stop device routine twice a week. I also use DeVita's copper peptide serum, which I highly recommend. It works very well.

Hi , thank you got this wonderful post .... I'm a fan of needling too . I'm not sure if you are aware if this or not but using a 1.5 roller on your face Is not going to give you the results you are looking for ....for sucess with derma rolling the needles need to be 0.5 or 1mm at most for sucess with fine lines and scars . Hope that helps you ... Good luck !

Hi N101 I replied to you but it got posted in the wrong place, I'll try again:
I used the 1.5 roller but I don't press hard and don't cause bleeding. I hardly have any swelling. My face gets rolled once per week but I roll the right and left sides of my face on different days. Makes it much easier.

Thank you for your great reports on your experiences with needling. I just purchased two rollers, one for my face-an 0.5 and one for cellulite and weight loss-a 2.5..Your posts are inspiring and have helped me with my initial reservations about using this method.

Yes....I would like to know what you mean by a single needle and where can you purchase it. Wondering if a derma stamp or pen would work the same. I don't roll that area, I just use the derma stamp on upper lip/smoker lines. I have been doing it once a week for about 3 months, and I'm not sure if I see a difference, but they haven't gotten worse either.

please come back and update!

Hi everyone, here's an update. I used the Stop device for awhile and then I used the Tria for awhile but I ended up coming back to derma rolling. I do it once a week now and I think that's a good idea, even though there are some people who say it shouldn't be done that much. I think if you want results you have to do it once a week with a 1.0mm roller. I personally use the 1.5mm roller. But I do not press so hard that I make myself bleed, just get my face very red. Maybe a dot of blood here and there. I really think doing this once a week is a good idea. My face looks good now. I also use an infrared light on my face five days per week. I'm sticking with this routine for the rest of my life, I think. I'm happy with the results. And it doesn't cost a whole lot!

Please do update more! I'd love to hear the good and bad sides of what's happened over the last 6 months.

UPDATE 1-23-2013
I stopped doing derma needling and switched to the Stop Radio Frequency device, which I recently found out about. I've been doing that for 6 weeks and so far don't see much difference anywhere, except for around my eyes. I'll update again when I've been using it longer. I quit needling because it just hurt too much and was too much of a chore. It also wasn't doing anything for my neck or around my eyes. It's really hard to needle around the eyes and the neck area, so that was another reason I went for the Stop device. I'll update in a month or two, and let ya know how it goes...

I think that doing the derma rolling yourself at home is a good idea because there are NO docs or PS in my area that offer it. And I live in a big city! The problem is, which roller are you to buy and I'm not sure what to use with it as far as creams, etc. Everything makes me break out and I am in my 50's.

You can try looking up info on owndoc.com I've emailed them questions about what and where I want to correct and they've suggested what to get. I derma stamp with and 85 needle stamp at 1.5mm long needles
January 23, 2013
No they do not... I'm not completely sold on this process. I really don't see much of an improvement
January 24, 2013
Thanks Vikki b. I wanted to try this a few years back but there really wasn't a whole lot of information out there about it. They suggest you to go to a professional but no one offers it! It probably isn't going to make much money for the docs because it seems so simple! But...I don't understand what these online companies are thinking, not giving a cleaning solutions. Do they give any instructions on how to clean them yourself? I mean....you have to clean the thing if you are giving yourself puncture like wounds!

I got a derma stamp and they did not send with cleaning solutions but they did give instructions on how to clean. They said to spray with rubbing alcohol before use. I let it airdry and then stamp. Then they say to rinse with cold water. I let it airdry and then put away. It comes with a cap but I still put it in a Baggie and seal it too.

This may sound like a dumb question, but can you do derma rolling where you've gotten fillers? I don't know if the filler is still there...it doesn't look like it, but i don't want to cause any bad infection or any other adverse event if there is still some in there.
