Dermarolling / Microneedling / Micro Crust

« on: January 22, 2013, 03:30:03 AM »

I used the 1.5 mm derma stamp on some areas of my face and two days later it feels like a micro crust has formed over these areas. Is this normal? I know that with procedures like fraxel restore, micro scabs form in a grid pattern after treatment. I think my situation is similar to this. The crusts are not that visible but the skin feels rough in those areas. This time I was more aggressive with the stamping than usual. 
Also when would I be able to start using the .5 mm roller again? Should I wait a week for the micro scabs to fall off?

Dermarolling / Microneedling / forehead scar

« on: October 28, 2012, 12:32:59 AM »

Hi Sarah,
I have dark skin and plan to dermaroll a scar on my forehead. It is hyperpigmented and uneven in texture. When I lift my eyebrows I now get forehead creases that take a while to settle back. This has never happened until I got this scar. After reading other posts I think I should use the .5mm dermaroller 2 or 3 times a week and use a 1.5mm stamp on the scar and wrinkles once every 5 weeks.
I am worried that this will cause me to hyperpigment more so I wanted to know if stamping the scar with the 1.5mm stamp a fewer number of times per session at a shorter interval is the same as an aggressive session every 5 weeks. What do you recommend?
