Dermarolling / Microneedling / Dermastamp plus sun exposure

« on: September 17, 2013, 01:45:15 PM »

Hello Sarah!

I'm excited! My 1 mm dermastamp is on the way!

I spoke with my dermatologist, who does not recommend that I stamp the site where a facial mole was shaved three months ago. She recommends waiting for three - nine months longer, i.e., up to a year, while the skin is still thin and red and the site still healing.

However, I have a newly-formed scar, i.e., about one month old, on my forehead. It's about 7 mm in diameter, slightly raised in the center, pink and shiny, and slightly atrophic around the edges, slightly darkened. It was a kind of allergy hive, now healed. I am wondering if the dermastamp will help with the raised/shiny/pink and atrophic/darkened qualities. Also, can you tell me what you recommend in terms of sun exposure and protection after stamping?

Thank you so much!

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Dermarolling after mole was shaved plus product application

« on: August 08, 2013, 10:50:37 PM »

Hello Sarah!

Thank you for all of your helpful answers on this forum!

I searched quite a bit but was unable to find answers to two specific questions:

1. Is it safe to use a .2 mm dermaroller on an area of the face, e.g., near the cheek, where a biopsied, benign mole was removed by a dermatologist employing the shave method two (2) months after removal and one (1) month after the wound fully closed?

2. Is it proper to apply skin care products, e.g., toner, eye cream, serum and moisturizer, after such rolling with  a .2 mm dermaroller, or before?


Thank you so much!

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Cleaning the OWNDOC Dermaroller

« on: June 29, 2013, 08:08:44 PM »

I am very excited to receive my new OWNDOC Dermaroller and Dermaneedles! I have been looking for holistic, green alternatives to ethyl and isopropyl alcohols. I am wondering if one can use vinegar, witch hazel and/or hydrogen peroxide, or some combination of these, in order to achieve sterilization of the OWNDOC Dermaroller and Dermaneedles without damaging them. Kindly advise. Thank you!
