I did a search for old forum posts, and there are a bunch. I was specifically looking for any comments from SillieMee, who knows a lot about microneedling (and a lot about skincare in general). She posted that the GloPro is more of an exfoliating roller, and this size won’t stimulate collagen production. She recommends buying a larger size, and also recommends a book on holistic microneedling. (You can just search for her post to read more details).

Yes, the GP is definitely just for exfoliation so your skincare products can absorb easier. Other than that it doesn't do much else. Usually when you exfoliate, by any means, you're bound to get better absorption. The GP is just one way of doing it.

If you're looking for something to stimulate collagen then you'll need to use a roller with longer needles...one with at least 0.5mm length and use that no more than twice monthly, 2 weeks apart or longer. The GP needles are 0.3mm and won't go deep enough to reach down where collagen is formed.

Something I learned about using a roller with 540 needles (GP has 540) vs a roller with 192 needles is that the higher needle count limits the depth of penetration. That's just the nature of using a roller with more needles on it. So it's fair to say that it's doubtful that the GP actually penetrates to 0.3mm but most likely to an undetermined depth of less than that.

I bought a version from the big A a few years ago. I used it on a scar near my eye from when I got stitches as a kid. It worked to get rid of it. It was pretty prominent.

I dug it out to start using it again. I'm starting her 4 step retinol system again. I did it in April and was happy with results.

just use it twice as much sounds like to get the same results of bigger needles. I'll use it while watching TV.

I got these da#n big pores in my nose. Used face masks, Sea Breeze,etc.

I hate big pores. LOL

gonna use this thing, then, use my Estee Lauder creams and see if it penetrates better

@SharkE I have had recent improvement in pores and congestion by using the Popsonic spade.

I owe the purchase to @SilleeMee because she has recommended it several times. My sonic brushes bit the dust so I got this from the popsonic website. I am very happy with it and see improvements in pores and congestion. I don't have serious issues with that but still they are better.

They were selling the popsonic spade last night in the beauty show, and it was cheaper than what I got and also in a better choice of colors.

Thanks @SilleeMee !!

You're welcome. @KLm

I love my Popsonic Spade, too! The sale price now is fantastic.

@SharkE

I do believe the GP will help improve (shrink) your pore size. That's one of the benefits of exfoliating. But using it twice as much does not mean it does the same thing as using longer needles.

Used it faithfully for over a month and all it did for me was inflame my pores and make my face red!!

@rms1954 mine is left eye too, but left side Wooden swing in a tree. My best friend jumped off the swing. I was waiting for my turn on the tree stump when it hit me on corner of my left eye. I could have lost my eye.

Now I'll be working on nose to mouth lines and lines around mouth.

There are different heads for the GloPro on QVC. Eyes/lips/face $35.00 each. I thought you only need the heads that come with it...

I just flipped on the Beauty Awards show and there's Shawn, rolling the Glo Pro over her face that's covered in thick heavy makeup. And next up is Jane Treacy doing the same thing. What were they thinking?!?! 🤦‍♀️

@SharkE

It comes with one already attached plus you get 3 more. Each roller lasts 3 months so there you have a year's supply with the 4 in the kit.

@SilleeMee Thank you for such good information about these rollers! I was confused seeing 540 on some and 192 on others. Question for you....I want to try this but I have sensitive skin with rosacea so caution is always my approach. Do you think trying a 0.5mm with the 540 amount of needles might be a safe choice to just see if I could do this at all? I see A has these some with titanium needles some with stainless steel....can you recommend a seller from there. I may just get one of each (192 & 540 needles) to see.

Thank you so much! You are a treasure of good information here

Re: anybody have used the Beauty Bio GloPro

SilleeMee — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 22:02:11 GMT

@tsavorite

Thank you for your kind words.

Rosacea won't get worse or better provided you don't over-do the needling. The redness will intensify and may take longer to subside after needling. But over time the recovery time lessens. I recommend using stainless steel not titanium. The 192 rollers are best to use. The 540 rollers don't penetrate enough and you'll end up putting more pressure on a 540 roller to get it to go in...that can lead to unnecessary redness, irritation and possible bruising. Collagen induction requires using 0.5mm rollers. Start out using that once every 3 to 4 weeks. Continue with that interval for 3 months or longer then go to needling no more than twice a month. See how your skin reacts with that schedule.

I buy my rollers from SkinMedix dot com. Everything ships free.

Check out this book for a complete guide to needling:

@SilleeMee Thank you! Now I have thought of another question LOL how many times can you use one of these rollers? Can I clean it with alcohol?

@Mary Bailey

We must be on the same schedule. I also used the Beauty Bio retinol in April, and started back up again last night for another 45 days.
