Derma roller

Has anyone ever tried one?

A friend of mine recently purchased a 2 inch roller to use over her body.

I saw a video on you tube and it looked rather painful, the lady was working the roller back and forth in each direction until the area became red raw.

The roller has a micro-medical skin-needling, a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself.

Apparently, it can improve the appearance of, acne scars, aged and sun damaged skin, facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles, stretch marks and also cellulite.

So any personal experiences with one?

I just watched a youtube video, it looks scary!
Did it work for anybody? Does anybody have any horror stories?

How can they can rake that spiky thing across their face is a mystery, it looks a bit someone like aerating the lawn.

Hmmm KR maybe you can be my guinea pig, it won't hurt. I promise.

Re: Derma roller

I suspect this is the home equivalent of consumer at-home laser hair removal devices. They are watered down versions of the tech that people can use at home without damaging themselves and suing the company. The real stuff, costs money and needs to be used by a trained professional.

It’s not an IPL or Lazer hair remover machine, it does not remove hair at all. It’s more of a skin renewal device.

Re: Derma roller

I've used one with very short needles and even then it did hurt a bit :(

I did it to increase the absorption of a cream I was using.. would not even attempt the longer-needled ones..

Uh, I said it's likely to be the equivalent of home ipl/laser devices (which don't work).

I know what dermaroller is, which is why I'm saying I doubt you are going to get the same results you would get if you have it done at a clinic where they apply topical anaesthetic first and many of the puncture marks bleed. Most people find they can't go out for a few days afterwards if they have their face done.
