I initially posted in the "indented forehead shingles aftermath" thread but am adding my post here as well.
I am using Vaughter's 1.5 mm dermastamp and purchased a wine vacuum from a local wine store to try the suction method (thank you member Arachne).
I stamped my rolling acne scars and waited three days before suctioning those areas. I have read the article you provided on the first post of this thread (three times!) My goal was to suction the areas once a day for a week and then every other day for additional week. I am on day two of suctioning. My question is if I could damage my skin? Since we are using the wine vacuum as the suction and not for what it is intended...I thought I should reach out and post my concerns before I suction any more.
My skin becomes very red after suctioning-no bruising or hematomas, though. I can see the prick marks in my skin complete with the red pinpoint bleeding marks. My skin looks exactly the way it does when I stamp. Because I have suctioned two days in a row, my skin has never had time to calm down and I'm just starting to have doubts! Any one else trying this technique at home?
