Ok...here we go again. Hopefully I got the questions all correct this time! Very Happy


This is a survey to try and identify why some people feel virtually no pain when rolling, while others feel extensive pain. If we can identify a trend, it may help new rollers determine if they should purchase numbing agents or not.


Using the poll feature ensures that your answers are anonymous, so please answer honestly.

I would also ask that everyone please refrain from lectures on smoking or opinions on peels.


Thanks for participating!

I don't do this, but this is a great idea for a survey. Unfortunately so far the sample size is too small to draw conclusions from. It doesn't help that the results are all over the map.

Agree, the results are all over the map so far. Hopefully there are a lot more people who will participate, there has to be more than 8 people who use the dermaroller. Still, it is beginning to look like it really doesn't matter if one is a smoker, user of peels, or anything. Individual pain tolerance or lack thereof seems to be just that, an individual thing!

I said non-smoker/peeler w/ sig pain, but my pain is mostly on the upper lip lines. other areas are moderate.

I also usually have a high pain tolerance.

I'm a smoker and overall I have very little pain when rolling, except, like others I find the upper lip area is extremely sensitive. So I answered "Smoker-Very little pain". Also, even though I roll pretty aggressively, I don't bleed much either.

After my last major hangover, even I am looking at other options...the bottle of wine and Climax Spray just isn't cutting it for me! Shock

I ordered some EMLA...I am hoping it works!!

I do not fit the categories. I do not feel a large amount of pain when I roll on my face but my chest is very much more sensitive.

I have never smoked but I have used glycolic acid not frequently but occasionally in the past (haven't done this for over a year). I do use low concentration glycolic products from time to time.

Sharky, I would just answer the survey based on your face. If I do another poll in the future I will call that out specifically.

Hi, I've been rolling 2x a month with my 1.5mm.
I've used retina for years. The most sensitve part of my face is below my nose to the upper lip. I've gotten used to the discomfort. I don't look forward to my rolls, but I believe they improve the condition of my skin, so I'll stick with it. Smile
