Dermarolling / Microneedling / About Improvement/Collagen Production
« on: May 02, 2012, 01:01:43 PM »
Hi Sarah:
So I've scoured the forum and have read your "Warning about rolling frequency" thread and I just wanted to ask a few things.
Today is exactly 1 month since my first stamping session.I read in the "Warning about rolling frequency" thread that collagen production is not finished in even 5 weeks, but at least the first stages are complete. I know improvement takes time (and I guess I'm impatient too) but I don't think I've seen any improvement, and I'm wondering if I should wait longer or just have a second stamping session soon.
Also, I'm wondering in terms of collagen production...let's just say the collagen has already been under process - if I stamp rigorously this 2nd time, will it possibly damage the collagen that has already been produced this past month (and same for every month after)?
Here is a picture of my scars that I'm dealing with (2 rolling scars). I used a 2.0mm stamp the first session (someone on Acne.org recommended a 2.0 to make sure I'm really hitting the dermis. I know 1.5mm is the usual recommended).
(This was taken about 2 weeks after the first stamping session, just an FYI. Also the dark spot near the top right isn't another dent, just a dry spot from a pimple that was healing)
Thanks so much.
