Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: DermaJet questions

Also, one other question: if using the DermaJet, we should also not be rolling or single needling the same areas?

Dermarolling / Microneedling / DermaJet questions
« on: June 13, 2013, 12:32:39 PM »
Hi Sarah,
I purchased a DermaJet and am eagerly awaiting its arrival! I had posted previously about my numerous stretch marks--on my upper arms, breasts, hips, buttocks, thighs, and calves. I'm hoping the DermaJet will help me properly treat these many areas.
I do have a few questions about its use:
- Do you recommend using the device on areas where there might be thinner skin, like upper arms or behind the knees?
- Does the 12-needle cartridge allow needling of a targeted area? The stretch marks on the front of my upper arms, for instance, are thinner and there are only a few.
- In the instructions you had written "The DermaJet is useful for all types of dermaneedling, although when very large areas need to be covered, a dermaroller would be a faster solution." I'm a bit confused as to why this would be--wouldn't the DermaJet help cover large areas because it's automated?
As always, thanks so much for the help!

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Dermarolling and laser hair removal
« on: November 24, 2012, 10:19:38 AM »
Hi Sarah,
I'm new to dermarolling and any help would be much appreciated. I've had stretch marks pretty much all over my body (upper arms, breasts, hips, lower back, inner/outer thighs, calves) since puberty and am finally trying to do something about them. I'm a 26 year old female of Indian descent with medium brown skin; all of my marks are lighter than my natural skin tone. I've been exfoliating and applying pure shea butter daily over the last few months and have seen a very slight improvement in some of the more shallow marks.
My plan is to combine use of a 1.5mm dermaroller with single needling; I have a dermaroller but am waiting for the single needles to be back in stock so I can purchase them. I do have a few questions though:
1) I am also battling ingrown hair issues and am about to begin a laser hair removal process for many parts of my body using a YAG laser. Do you know anyone who has undergone laser hair removal and dermarolling for SMs at the same time? Should I avoid doing this simultaneously? I am worried about hyperpigmentation. My acne/ingrown hairs do tend to leave hyperpigmented scars.
2) Instead of Infadolan, can I apply pure, unrefined shea butter to my skin directly after dermarolling/single needling? I am unsure if the Infadolan would clog my pores as I do have acne-prone skin.
Any other tips would be very helpful. Thanks!
