Dermarolling / Microneedling / Do you have products for redness caused by bad dermastamping/rolling/needling?

« on: June 27, 2013, 02:53:24 AM »

Hi in October 2012 I had dermarolling done by a dermatologist over my whole face but with special concentration on 3 chickenpox scars on my cheek. There was no improvement but since the principle of dermarolling - unlike what I had read about lasers which had the downside of being ablative - was apparently one of 'can't lose, can only maybe win' - in that even if it may or may help my chicken pox pitted scars, the treatment would be a positive thing for my skin. So in May 2013, I had dermastamping done by another dermatologist who told me that dermastamping was the advanced form of rolling, as rolling tears the skin unduly as it comes from an angle, whereas dermastamping in it's straight up and down movement promotes the collagen reaction without causing the damage dermarolling does (is this true?). Additionally he used stem cell treatment on my face and also used a single needle on my 3 pock marks to 'break up the scar tissue'. Over one month later not only has there been no reduction in the chickenpox scars, but all 3 of them have patches of redness around them, which are not fading - was this caused by him doing needling which he shouldn't have? My questions are: 1. Is it correct that dermastamping is better than dermarolling, 2. is needling on deeper scars a bad thing in itself, or did him performing that procedure badly lead to this redness?, and 3. most importantly what products do you have that can get rid of these apparently permanent red / discoloured patches of skin / circles around my 3 scars? Please help! Thank you in advance.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Derma-stamp/roll to thicken very thin under-eye skin?

« on: May 31, 2013, 04:06:05 AM »

Hello, I am interested in purchasing a product to thicken my under-eye skin. The questions here on under-eye skin seem to relate to crows feet or bags. I don't have either (YET) - my problem instead is that while the rest of my skin is normal thickness, the skin under my eyes has always been extremely thin, to the extent that my veins have been visible there, even from a young age. Is it safe to use your derma roller or derma stamp (and between the 2 which would you recommend for this area?) on the delicate under eye skin area (especially considering it's even MORE delicate /thin under-eye skin than average) or are there risks that I could permanently damage it, and assuming it is safe, do you think I would get results if I stamp / roll on this skin, for the exclusive purpose of THICKENING the skin, as opposed to removing wrinkles or bags? Many thanks in advance.
