Derma Roller

sueme · ‎03-11-2010

After seeing some discussion on here about derma rollers I would like to try it. But I have no idea where to purchase and what exactly I'm looking for. I'm 44, I have pretty good skin, more oily than dry, larger pores just looking to give my skin a charge. It's looking so blah.

any advice is greatly appreciated.

Read the other two threads. Lots of information there.

Hi, I purchased mine from Amazon. They have quite a few choices. I was using the 1.5 once a week but after reading some of the previous posts about how often to use a 1.5, I ordered a .05. I now roll with the .05 once a week and the 1.5 once a month. Derma rollers are fairly inexpensive but if you were going to get just 1, I would start with the .05 and see how it goes. There are lots of informative videos on You tube also. Some of the rollers are stainless steel and some titanium. I dont think it matters that much. Mine are both titanium. Good Luck. I think you will be pleased with the results.

Lots of good info in the threads. I bought a 1.0 originally, haven't used it because I'm still researching. Will probably start with an .05. Have fun reading and learning. Good luck to both of us.

I heartily agree with checking out the most recent threads here.

lyn in MI and BellaCarro have done EXHAUSTIVE research (complete with links!) and have generously shared their findings.

The threads are getting a little long, so I've printed some out and highlighted the info I believe is key -- makes it easier to refer to than scrolling through the pages. :-)

Other sites (like Essential Day Spa) have HUGE discussions on Dermarolling, but can be too overwhelming. PLUS -- most importantly -- I've never seen the level and quality of research that I have here from our two intrepid sleuths, lyn in MI and BellaCarro!

I have -- and have used -- the 1.0 too, Funloving. But like you, I'm going to switch to the .05. White Lotus and Dr. S both indicate that's the length that delivers the best results. In this instance, apparently more (longer) is NOT better!
