| The Plastic Surgeon I talked to thought once a week WAS too often to roll, which is one reason I am switching to once every 2 wks. I won't say my skin is super-sensitive, but it is certainly beet-red after I roll, and the next day I look like I have had a tiny bit of sun. I usually apply my Tazorac (Retin A) when I roll. I have a .5mm roller than I've used only a few times before applying the Tazorac. My tendency is to just give my skin a rest from the needling inbetween the intensive rollings. |

ok...I gotta pipe in here. I think anyone who is using a Dermaroller and thinking that their skin is improving almost immediately, is just seeing a superficial effect. I am now 7 months into my Dermarolling adventure, using it once a week (1.5mm) and now I'm going to begin once every 2 wks. It takes about 6 months for the skin to really rejuvenate. (I spoke with a Plastic Surgeon who is rolling clients with a 1.5mm and he emphasized the timing.) That has been true for me as I am FINALLY reaping the benefits. I was discouraged and even whined on this forum about about my lack of results, but alas, now I'm blown away. In the last week I've had 3 comments on my "beautiful smooth skin." I can't stop looking in the mirror...its amazing, it friggin' works!!!!! I am so excited about discovering this, and knowing I don't have to do anything invasive or expensive to improve my skin. Bethany...I have to disagree, Inflammation is not bad! unless you are talking about your joints or something.
Rollin' on....  |
You might want to read the complete inflammation article I posted on the dermarolling thread before making such a general statement.
However, the good news is that they have determined that acute inflammation will not turn into destructive inflammation if 2 weeks lapses between periods of inflammation AND the skin barrier is completely repaired via a lipid mixture of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acid applied topically.

Your comment confirms what I have been saying all along...daily or weekly with long needles is NOT the way to go. But as long as the rolling is within the appropriate time criteria and the skin barrier is repaired, people should continue to roll and reap the benefits. |

| bethany...can you link me to the article on the dermaroller thread. Too much to dig through but I'd love to read it and certainly am open to hear the theory's. Also, the Plastic Surgeon I spoke with (by phone) did not agree with rolling once a wk or even every 2 weeks. He thought that was too frequent. I just decided that now that I've reaped some benefits from the once of wk routine, I'm going to lay back a little with it and go with every two wks ( it wasn't based on his recommendation.) |

What frequency DID he recommend?
Here is the link to where I posted the abstract, but the entire article is not available online. If you PM me with you email address, I will send you the complete pdf.
