Dermarolling / Microneedling / Using 1.5 mm stamp. Should I be rolling too?
« on: October 02, 2013, 07:23:06 PM »
Hi Sarah et al,
I just started using the 1.5 stamp a few weeks ago on my cheeks and I'm wondering if I should roll as well, and if so, with what length needle. I'm 45, and I have a combination of enlarged pores (I realize I probably won't see improvement in that area), a few ice pick scar and what I think are rolling scars. To be honest, I've looked at my skin so much in the past 30 years, I don't even think I can see it clearly. I may have melasma on my cheeks. I know it's odd, but I can't tell if what I'm seeing is shadowing caused by scars or hyperpigmentation. I also have what I think may be just a general loss of elasticity around my chin. I've attached a picture of my cheek and a close-up of the same cheek. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Best,
Lisa
