Hi, I received a 1.5 mm in the mail and some vit C serum .... but I have not started using yet. I purchased these for some chicken pox scars on my forearm (slightly pitted and white), but noticeable. My problem is whn I try to find out more about using this in the forearm most of the post is for the face. Do I need Retin A and I.... (the cream) as well? would it be helpful?
Should I also get a smaller needle size to use more frequently? How often should I use the different creams, serums, etc. and when? I am lost... please help!:confused:

No, you do not need the A-Ret now. Roll your scar areas very densely every three weeks. Apply vit. C for at least three consecutive days before dermarolling to ensure the maximum levels for the rolling day and then apply it at least twice a week.
Right after dermarolling, keep the area moisturized, preferably with something oily – oil locks moisture in the skin by preventing evaporation
If you do not get any improvement within four months, buy a 0.5 mm dermaroller and use it twice a week on your area (and continue with the 1.5 mm as well). You can also consider needling the scars with our single needles.
In case of stubborn, non responsive scars, I recommend needling them and apply the A-Ret immediately after.
