Started approx 3 maths ago and each procedure has been a month apart
Takes approx 1 week to get over the redness from the procedure
The redness appears like bad sunburn or punched on the nose
Have had 3 dermapen procedures at $200 each so far
Was told needed at least 6
Don't believe anything has improved so far?
Thoughts?

Were any skin products used after the treatment by the nurse to be absorbed into the skin? And if so what? And have you used any products on your skin at home?

You should do research and just buy your own derma roller its not that hard to do, sometimes you have to cover up with bandaids and keep ot on until skim heal fully awhile changing the band aids every three to fpur hours you can leave on overnight but chang first thing in the morning, clear tape works too

Be sure and get a derma STAMP not a derma roller if you are using on your face.

I agree with her; and when using the stamp make sure you do not run it through your skin, you stamp a spot, move to another and stamp. Do not stamp and plow it through your skin from spot to spot

You should do research and just buy your own derma roller, it's not that hard to do. Sometimes you have to cover up your face with bandaids and keep it on until skin heals fully, awhile changing the band aids every three to four hours. You can leave them on overnight but change then first thing in the morning, clear tape works really well too, so you won't be that embarrased going to the grocery store. You should not be moving your face around during the healing process and sessions, especially where people tend to get wrinkles (like around the mouth-smiling, on the forehead-lifting eyebrows) *** If you want to take it to the next level you can also do microdermabrasion, I highly urge you to also do this yourself after some research, it does wonders for the skin. I do it myself using the PMD (Personal MicroDerm) handheld device. It really works, but you have to be careful not to go too hard on your face and again YOU REALLY HAVE TO USE BANDAIDS WITH THIS AND NO SCRUNCHING OT SMILING. Lines of tape put on where you tend to scrunch and smile help it heal FLAT and prevent wrinkling from occuring in case you accidentially smile. There are alot of bad reviews for this device, but I know they are just made up by esthiticians themselves, because they are mad they're going to be losing out on alot of money because of this device which works better than any exspensive easthatician I've paid for, I SWEAR IT WORKS SO GOOD. Sorry if I spelled esthaticin wrong I'm typing this on my phone and will lose this whole paragraph if I Google that word to see how it's correctly spelled. I hope you take my advice, I know how it feels to have to pay so much and have your hopes up only to look in the mirror and not see any difference.***

You can buy your own derma roller for about $35.00. U are wasting your money. Do a TCA at home chemical peel for quicker results.
