I guess you mean my comment in this forum posting:

"Concerning dermarolling, I am not sure what to expect because you underwent a Fraxel Repair procedure, which is a very intensive treatment. It vaporizes fractions of the skin and can go up to 1.6 mm into the skin. It works on the same principle as dermarolling - causing very small skin injuries not serious enough to become a scar but big enough to trigger healing/regeneration processes that result in improved, rejuvenated skin.
Lasers injure the skin by heat, dermarollers do it mechanically.
Since you underwent a treatment that is based on the same principle and did not get any results, I do not think you can expect miracles from dermarolling."
Well, it just means that if you underwent several deep Fraxel laser treatments and you got no results, it is not very probable you will get extraordinary results from dermarolling.
I will answer your question about our A-Ret creams later in a new sticky thread with the title: "Questions about our three A-Ret creams".
