NAY! The needles do not “penetrate” deep enough. There is a thread I bumped up with lots of good information On dermarolling and dermarollers. I had it when they present the Glo Pro and the Vendor is rolling the roller on a face of make up. That’s a real No No! They need to explain in greater detail what exactly one needs to do before and afterwards. 😱

Where would be a good place to get a good micro needle device with the right needle length?

If you have never done this before then I would suggest having a rolling session done by a professional first, ask questions when you go there and then maybe inquire about a device while you are there.  Otherwise, I would start by getting a book about the subject and get informed about how to roll in a safe and effective way. Once you have learned the correct way of doing it then buying the right kind of roller for your needs will be somewhat easier. There are different kinds of rollers, not only in needle lengths but also the materials they are made of as well as their overall shape. The shape of the handle and head are important because the shape can determine how well you can hold and roll. Once you read about it then you'll understand.

In what you have learned, is it truly helpful in getting products deeper into the skin?

Certain active products work better if they are absorbed into the skin. However, using a microneedle that is meant for collagen induction (0.5mm) is not what I would recommend to make skin care products go deeper. Exfoliation, otoh, seems more appropriate for effective absorption. As you probably already know, exfoliation can be achieved in a number of ways and one way is to use a microneedle that is shorter than 0.5mm...a popular size is 0.25mm.

 

 I do not use anything on my skin after using a 0.5mm roller. The reasons why include risks for infection and irritation. I do not use a .25mm roller for exfoliation but it is a method to consider if you desire and with this kind of rolling, it's perfectly fine to apply most skin care products. @hyacinth003

This is one of those products that makes me shudder. Who knows what the long term effects on the skin will be from something like this.  This seems like all kinds of a bad idea.

It seems like I've read more 'nays' than 'yays'...on this thread.  However, I would like to vote "YAY''!   I tried it for the first time last night and found it to do just as expected, with a slight redness after the treatment.  I immediately put on my night time creams and pretty sure I could see a difference this morning. ( I have a 8x Floxite mirror so I look closely, on a regular basis).  I will be keeping the GloPro with great expectations of good things to come.

I ordered this product and I can tell you it definitely feels like needles sticking in your skin.  I'm not sure I could tolerate longer needles.  I even felt stinging when following up with some of my regular skincare.
