Hi Everyone:

This has been 2 years in the making! I did get some great advice from members here on the board, namely Bethany. She was so kind and helpful, and encouraging. Thank you Bethany! Smile

Andyway, two years ago, was the first time I heard of dermarolling. Did tons of research in those 2 years, but was too much of a nervous nellie, until now to try it.

I think I have already gotten improvements with dermarolling after my first attempt. unless this is still swelling, which I hope not

Can you still have swelling after 4 weeks? doesnt seem to be

Anyway, I did a trial dermastamp. I purchased the dermastamp rather than roller. I figure from everything i have read, it is safer, and less chance of tearing the skin, as its stamping motion, rather than rolling; feel i have more control over a dermastamp.

So a month ago,I stamped just my temples. Wanted to see how my facial skin reacted, as I do have sensitive skin

I have decided against using any numbing cream. the dermastamp i used is 0.75mm

It stung; kind of like a grazed burning sensation. but thats okay, as for me, its temporary pain. There was some redness, and i immediately applied my professional terproline cream, that lamarr recommends on another board.

I have seen an improvement on one of my temples already. It is much shallower the scarring there, the other temple, not as much improvemnt, but just a small improvement.

I have a question tho....

do u think different areas of the face react differently? such as do you think the cheeks would react/heal different to the temples, or forehead|??? Would cheeks be more sensitive than temples???

I am pretty impressed with my first attempt

i did up my vitamin c intake a few weeks before attempting dermastamp tho.

I definitely think taking supplements beforehand to help skin heal itself, is crucial to great results.

i have decided not to use numbing cream. I heard it can hinder the maximum healing of the skin,a nd i prefer to have all the pluses on my side when it comes to my skin.

There r tons of great articles on dermarolling,so make sure you do lots of research onthis.

I do not want to use a needle length more than 1mm. i see no need to go deeper than that, unless i am disastisfied with the results down the track and even, then not sure i would go deeper than that.

i plan to roll no more than once ecvery four weeks, to give my skin a good chance to heal up.i know ppl say you can more often, i just think its safer to give skin a break and healing for the 4 weeks.

let me know how you go. this is sooo exciting. i can see my skin healing up completley and being smooth and healthy looking again.

Out of efverything i researched, dermarolling has the best odds, with the least amount of risks that is what i have bene lookihng for.

sorry for all typos,new keyboard, not normally this typomatic. Smile

I have never used a dermastamp (only a dermaroller) so I can't accurately predict what is happening but I would be very surprised if you got permanent results from one treatment with a .75mm! Using it on the temples is probably more painful than the cheeks (thicker skin on cheeks). I would be interested in hearing if it still looks this good in another month. If it does, I'm throwing away my 2mm rollers and buying a .75mm dermastamp!!!!!!

i recall researching this and found some interesting comments from others, who had used less than the 1.5 0r 2 and had experienced collagen renewal.

was surprised, and that's why i opted for a shorter needle,just to test things out. so far, sooo happy. we shall see in a month. but will be doing my next session shortly again.

That's great how well it's working for you! It has made me want to try it as well!

Where did you get your dermastamp and what are you using as an after-treatment?
