Title: How to ease itching after dermarolling
Post by: purple_buttefly on October 08, 2012, 07:25:38 AM

Hi

I have a few questions, firstly my body itches quite a bit after rolling my stretch marks, is there anything I can do to help ease the itching or do I just need to keep the areas moisturised?

And secondly I have a burn scar about two months old, can I use the 1.5mm roller on it to help improve it? And will the single needles help it also?

Many thanks

After dermarolling, the inflammation can cause itchiness. The more moisturized you keep the rolled area, the less it itches, provided the used products are not irritating. Tretinoin for example is very useful to apply on stretch marks after rolling, but it is acidic so it itches:

On top of Tretinoin creams, apply moisturizing products.

Yes, you can use a dermaroller on the burn scar but a 1.5 mm dermastamp is even better because it is more targeted.
