Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. And thank you very much too for your article about the psychological effects of stretch marks. I plan to print it so I can re-read it when my perspective gets too focused on being physically perfect instead of being healthy and happy. I'm so glad I found your website!

Ack, I'm sorry, something else occurred to me: I use Differin .3% on my face and that keeps the acne mostly under control. Can I keep using that instead of tretinoin, or should I switch (or use both)?

Okay, I did search before asking about using dermarolling for aging prevention, but apparently not well enough, because today I found a thread with an answer (1 mm on neck/etc every 10-14 days). Sorry about that.
I do have a quick related question, though: in that thread (https://http://forums.owndoc.com/dermarolling-microneedling/best-routine-for-young-skin/msg3044/#msg3044) you said that later the poster could use a 1.5 mm instead of the 1 mm. When would that be, approximately? And does that advice apply to the face as well?
Another quick question, I'm afraid: if I'm already going to be using 1.5 mm on stretchmarks, should I just go ahead and use it on my neck/etc for prevention? My skin has been thinning with age, especially on my chest (very visible veins), though, so would 1 mm be better for now?
Thank you so much. I promise I will be a loyal customer in return for your time and advice. I'm sorry this post ended up adding more questions, I was intending it to do the opposite!
It occurred to me that you might need more information about my intentions. I have some discoloration on my forearms, a little on my face (seems to be melasma, though), acne on my face, thinning skin especially on my chest and inner upper and lower arms, thin stretchmarks in multiple places on my body, and increased drying of the skin on my neck and upper chest. And those urticaria pigmentosa spots all over, especially on my hands, arms, and legs. I'd like to reverse what I can and maintain my skin as well as possible as I get older.
Thank you again.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Age to start for aging prevention/dermarolling with urticaria pigmentosa?
« on: August 10, 2013, 05:10:46 PM »
I'm 29 with few signs of aging. I do have stretchmarks and a lot of acne and am thinking about dermarolling for those issues. I was also wondering if it's appropriate to dermaroll to prevent signs of aging? If so, what would the protocol be for that - the same as for reversing the signs of aging?
Also, I have urticaria pigmentosa. My skin isn't very reactive, but I do have a lot of spots that are associated with hive formation and my skin does produce hives/subsequent spots in response to long-term moderate-severe irritation/damage. (Though I don't get hives/spots from scratches or puncture wounds.) I would test dermarolling on a small area to make sure, but do you happen to know if dermarolling with urticaria pigmentosa is completely contraindicated? (From what I've read, getting tattoos is advised against, but a lot of people with urticaria pigmentosa are able to get tattoos without problems, if that's helpful information.)
Lastly, for testing the effects of dermarolling, can I use a dermastamp (to hopefully save money) or single needles? (Making sure to create a similar amount of punctures as rolling would cause.)
Thank you so much! This website and forum is wonderful!
