Does anyone have any thoughts on this today's special surprise?

I don't own that roller. The needles are very short, like .25mm, which is fine for exfoliation. It does nothing for collagen induction. IMO that roller is over-priced, especially when you consider replacement costs every three months. 

I use a 0.5mm roller (White Lotus brand) and it lasts for one full year. With this roller I get collagen induction as well as exfoliation. I have no lines or wrinkles because of this roller. I am 62yo. Have been rolling for several years.

SilleeMee, how often do you use the .5 roller?  I have one but sometimes I forget to do it then it throws me off schedule. I just purchased a .25 for daily use. I plan to use that on my lips a few times per week to make them look bigger, I plan to use the Isomers copper p after that. I saw the lip treatment tip on beauty by Anne-Marie.  By the way, I love all your very informative posts.

Save your money. Does nothing special.  I bought a "manual" one .5 on ebay for $1.00.  It has worked great.-the same reults.  I can buy a few and throw them out when they wear down- which takes a long time.  The most important thing is to keep it very clean.  I spray alcohol on it before and after.  It makes your creams and serums go on easier.

Thank you for your kind words @beautybee. 

I use only one size roller...0.5mm. White Lotus recommends rolling every two weeks and not more than this with a 0.5 roller. There is a scientific reason why the 2-week interval. It has to do with collagen induction and how long it takes to regenerate in your skin. If you roll too frequently and for more than 6 to 8 weeks at a time, you can actually damage the collagen being formed in your skin which may result in rapid aging, more lines and wrinkles may appear prematurely. It is also important to use a 0.5mm roller with caution and pay extra attention to what you put on your face before as well as after rolling. 

If you want to insure proper rolling I would like to suggest the White Lotus book. 

This book will guide you and inform you about needling. It taught me everything I needed to know.  Sold on Amazon or whitelotusantiaging dot com.
