Thanks, Lyn! It's still confusing, though -- it boils down to the needing a month to produce the collagen. Don't know why that wouldn't apply to Dr. S's staff or patients. Aaaaargh!

But if the preponderance of info indicates only once monthly, that's what I'll adhere to. :-) I'm surprised that I've found myself looking longingly at my calendar wishing my next roll date would hurry up! I think it's because of the instant gratification of the flush and swelling -- looks so nice! I'd better get the .02 or .03 so I can be happy in between the monthly treatments. :-)

Thanks again!!

You're welcome, MarenSeattle.

I have been using the 1.5 roller every 3 or 4 weeks. So I've used it only 3 or 4 times and:

I Had a scar next to my eye, about 1/2" long & 1/8th" wide --- nearly gone! I've had it about 40 years! nearly G-O-N-E!

works for me!

Mary Bailey - I've read that the longer needles are excellent for treating scars. It's great to read how well micro-needling is working for you.

DS goes back to college tomorrow so I'm hoping to have more time this w/e. So far though, I haven't found anything we hadn't already uncovered in the research we've all done. Have you?

BellaCarro - No, I haven't. I also skimmed through the chapters. I want to get a jeweler's loupe, so I can inspect my roller when I get one. What power of loupe do you recommend?

I found some great info on New Spa's website today. They have an excellent FAQ.

I'd bet any good magnifying glass would work. I don't know what power my loupe is. I've had it for years. Thanks for the tip on New Spa. I'll check that out. Sorry for no paragraphs. On my iPad.

How wonderful for you! I've used the 1.0 five times total, initially at 3-4 day intervals, then (due to no time) an 11 day respite, and now it's been two weeks. I swear I see a difference -- giving time for that collagen to get to work, maybe? I'm champing at the bit to do it again, only because I want to be doing SOMETHING, but I'm believing Dr. S that a month long interval is optimal between treatments. You're proof of that! I'm so happy for you!!

Thank you!

I know! I can hardly see it. I had to really look for it this morning. That was my most noticeable imperfection.

How wonderful for you! I'm so happy to hear your results.

I brought this thread up knowing it was old because there are a lot of good questions and answers.
