| I'm here today to express my concern with a 0.2 dermaroller and its function. I have bought 3 0.2 dermarollers, one from ebay (big no no) another one from a reputable seller and I was given one (again from a reputable seller.) The latter one I was given was made in Korea which had all the proper approval to use for person and professional use. It is today that I share with you my absolute concern that the 0.2 roller and its needls are too short/shallow for it to be used on many rollers. When I first began rolling with a 0.2 roller I felt it was scratching my skin. After several uses I thought I would roll it against a putty like substance that resembled my skin - blue tac, (to test it) and to my horror I saw what my instincts were telling me, the raised ridges between the needles and the raised ridge where the barrel was connected to the handle was scratching my skin. I want someone on here to do the same - get some new blue tack, a mew strip, peel off the protective wrap and roll your 0.2 roller against it to the pressure as you would your skin, tell me if you see these raised ridges as well as needles on the blue tac. What I am saying is the needles are the same length as the platform that the needles are placed into, the plastic layer, the plastic bed where the needles are placed. These ridges between the needles that hold the needles in place ridge up slightly to the height of the needles therefore scratching your skin. The edge of the barrel that connects to the handle is raised to the length of the needles as well and this also scratches the skin (even worse when rolling on an angle). I know I sound as tho I am repeating myself but it is hard to explain this. I would love to hear someone share with me this discovery and I am wondering if someone else has noticed this. I am wondering if someone has tested for themselves as I have running their 0.2 along flat/smooth putty or something like that to see for themselves this fault that many 0.2 rollers have. I have ordered a 0.25 from Dr Roller and I will be looking very closely at this to see if the needles are longer than the base that they are placed in. |

| Just to add, there would be lines as well as needle marks imprinted when rolling on blue tac - check this out if you roll with a 0.2 |

| Your post is very hard to follow. A detailed picture(s) of your roller would help us understand better. |

Hi, when I began rolling with a 0.2 it was not only the needles I felt against my skin, I felt the whole roller scratching my skin. The needles are too short , they are at the same height as the plastic roller that encases them. I can not post a picture as it wouldnt show - the example with the blu tac is too fine. Possibly you would like to try to roll a 0.2 against a new (unused) strip of blue tac and see that the needles are not the only thing that appears on the tac , lines appear as well between the needle marks, also there are lines on either side of the roller.
I have just bought a 0.25 Dr Roller and I am finding that the needles are the only part of the roller that make contact to my skin thus penetrating my skin only.
It is hard to explain and I am sorry about that. |

| Ive looked at two of my 0.2 rollers and Ive looked at my 0.25 Dr Roller and in my opinion if you're going to roll with shallow needles it might be best to not go shorter that 0.25 and to use a good quality roller (one where the edges of the roller are curved downwards) I just noticed when I first began rolling that the whole roller was scratching my skin and since I've been using the 0.25 I have found it is working better for me. |

| I really love rollers from dermaresolution. Much better than the others I have tried (ebay, owndoc, etc.) |

yes, many good ones and many baddies, but from now on I'm only going to roll with a 0.25 and no less. I found the needles need to be long enough than the surface they are impregnated into so the plastic roller as well as the needles dont scratch your skin.
I felt the needles in the Dr Roller 0.25 nicer/smoother to use with more of a professional feel. It was a nice feeling to know that the needles were penetrating my skin and that the roller itself wasnt scratching my skin.
I rolled last night with my new 0.25, I then moisturised and today my skin feels amazing, the recovery is much better and peace of mind knowing that my skin got a good needling and not scratched from the roller. |
