| More of a scare tactic article. I'm not sure if 43 complaints in 4 years is a cause for alarm. The skin worsening conditions are most probably due to using the wrong size needles too frequently or incorrectly. As to the HIV stuff, everyone knows that one should not share needles! |

Take a look over on the DIY board, there are tons of posts about dermarolling.
I think the article is a good reminder that its important to properly clean your roller because it is possible to get an infection from it. |

Along with keeping the dermaroller sanitized, other basic precautions apply. Lips should not be dermarolled because of herpes. Acne shouln't be rolled either. Anyone doing this is just asking for problems. |

I do dermaroll on the odd occasion to help product penetration. Therefore it does not own it's place in my everyday routine and dosent make me an expert on the matter but...
What wasn't mentioned in that article is there are other cosmetic noninvasive procedures that everybody has done that can be worse like for example Botox has been around for years with it's reported side affects.
Even if there was no scientific evidence that dermarolling if the theory behind it is observed then it becomes obvious it does with or without the evidence. Collagen is remodeled when the skin is damaged, just like it is when some one grazes them self.
There is no mention of what size needles were used in complaints of of skin worsening. Providing people exercise a little common sense when using this type of device and what needle sizes they are using there shouldn't be any issues.
Also it's well known that unless something has been sterilized it shouldn't be used, even pins. So providing someone is using the dermaroller properly there shouldn't be a problem with bacterial infections.
I think this is some more of the "you can get cancer from using ____" type fodder that generally comes about with many products (including food etc) only to find out years later it dosent.
Once again, this is just my two cents. |

I believe the take away info in this article is this "The Consumer Council advises that soaking the device in hot water or rinsing it in medical disinfectants is not enough to sterilize the device".
So, the bottom line in my mind from reading the article is not to reuse the rollers. |
