Dermarolling / Microneedling / Which dermaroller to use for post-acne red spots

« on: October 06, 2013, 11:02:27 PM »

Hello, Sarah. I'm a 21-year-old college girl living in the States.
I have a lot of red marks from previous pimples (I still get them even if I don't pick them, and I don't know why!), and some are a bit dark from sun exposure.

I've recently found out that dermarolling can help with these acne marks, and I'm planning to buy dermarollers from your website as they seem to be high-quality and relatively inexpensive.
However, I'm a little confused as to which length to use and how often.

In Korea, a lot of people use 0.25mm ones as a home treatment and almost 3 times a week, but I read from your post that 0.25mm isn't much effective.
Should I use 0.5mm one? I don't want to be too harsh to my sensitive skin (which 1.00mm one might be) but hope it won't take forever to see some effect.

Also, if I use 0.5mm one, how often should I use?
And how often should I replace the roller (the owndoc one)?
I read in others' posts that you recommended some creams like tretinoin and hydroquinone. I'm trying to keep my skin regimen as natural as possible, so I'm a bit afraid to use chemical products. I'm planning to use vitamin C serum and aloe vera gel with argan oil after the rolling. Will this be O.K.? (I hope asking this isn't against the forum rule.)


I really want to get rid of these red marks and have a clear skin that I once had.
 

Thank you for helping us all by making wonderful products and dedicating your time to answer the questions.


Have a great day!
