I also just started using my 1.0 dermaroller. It hurts! I'm not sure how hard I should be pushing. It doesn't bleed...just gets red. I put retin-a on afterwards, then a vit c spray every morning thereafter. I would like other opinions on this as well. I did read once every 3 weeks was the way to go.

Hi guys,
I've recently started derma rolling as well. Have so far done 1 roll, doing my second roll in a week or so.
Would really love to hear about the results you have achieved. Sucks that no one is posting updates on this thread anymore Crying or Very sad

Would be really cool to hear from you guys!

People should have updates after rolling since 2010..I m afraid the results are not satisfactory that's why people give up and don't post here anymore..

I think mine are getting worse too! First the stretch marks were localized to a small area on my upper thigh and inner thigh and now they seem to be lengthening and widening. If I knew this would have happened, I never would have started rolling!

Ok kinda freaking out at the moment...

I just went to the toilet and looked down at the area on my thigh that I rolled lastnight... it looks disgusting! The stretch marks look 10 times worse than they did before.
The stretch marks look rather raised, instead of flat/indented. They are showing up ALOT more and it even looks as if there is even more stretch marks there than there was before... Shock

The 'normal' skin inbetween and around the stretch marks is red, and the stretch marks are extremely white.

I rolled with pressure (had some blood spots), I applied Retin A Cream right after the roll, and applied my DIY Vit C spray this morning.

Has anyone else experienced this? is it the norm?

Ive noticed as I have been dermarolling that the area of stretchmarks is getting larger. It is freaking me out!

I tried dermarolling on my stretchmarks. It seemed to have made them worse. What did I do wrong?

My stretchmarks have increased as well with derma rolling. I am confused if I should go forward and try to improve them or if I should just stop now since they have gotten worse. Ugh this is so frustrating.

Kay, I read that you rolled and your stretchmarks got worse, too, and you're trying to pre-treat the area with topicals. I did not use anything before or after, and no numbing cream. I did not use enough force to break skin. It hurt enough as it was. However, the next couple of days, my stretchmarks were raised where they were flat before. Now I noticed they have crept up above the area below belly button to above it, and my skin as a result kinda wrinkles around the belly button. I'm too scared to try rolling again. To be fair, I cannot be sure if the wrinkles and above BB stretchmarks came from rolling or massaging. I was doing both around the same time.
