Hi Sarah,

I do not have as much pain in the area above my lips  if I use a 1.5mm dermastamp vs. a 1.5mm roller(or it is more tolerable to me).  Will it give me the same results assuming the dermastamp doesn't stamp the same area twice?

Thanks, Lisa

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Newbie questions
« on: February 13, 2012, 09:58:21 AM »
Hi Duck,

I am 40 years old this month and I have been dermarolling for over 8 weeks now.  There are schedules posted in this forum that you can do a search on that shows you 2 or 3 regimens for a weekly schedule rotating all the products each day.  I found the schedules and printed them out and put them in a drawer where I store all of my dermarolling stuff.  This way I could reference the information for a couple of weeks till I got the hang of the routine. Do not apply vit c after you dermaroll it will burn, but apply it the next day after dermarolling.  The inflammation stage after dermarolling is very important, but(I believe) ends in a matter of hours after you roll.  So  you can apply the vit c 24 hours later.  

Immediately after rolling you shower your skin, let it dry, and apply your infadolan(or your equivalent).  The infadolan serves 2 purposes-1. To keep skin moist. 2. To apply A&D healing/antiaging proerties to the skin.  It is very important to keep the skin moist ofter you roll and for a few days after.  If the vit c stings just dilute it, but do not stop using it in your schedule.

I began to notice some suttle changes in my skin about week 7 and so did my husband, but it will take much more time to see the results.  I am a nurse and massage therapist(medically lisc. in state of Ohio) by training, and medically everything that Sarah researches and experiments with is SOLID.   My skin is very sensative to harsh treatments like chemical peels and new products.  I often break out with many new products or certain brands of chemical peels.  I have not had a problem with any of these products or with rolling itself or with all of the products that Vaughter Wellness has to offer.  There was a time when my acne was so bad that I was treated with Accutane Rx and that is the reason why I have so many acne scars to deal with now.  These are only my opinions and experiences personally considering my skin type and conditions.

Lastly(this info is for everyone), I started rolling with inexpensive rollers from ebay and soon bought a .5mm & 1.5mm from Sarah's store after the ebay .5mm dulled instantly.  What a differance in quality and performance!!!! All of the Vaughter Wellness products are truely top quality at an amazing price!!!   I forgot to mention also that I have used top grade perscription formula Retin-A(extremely expensive) and many retinol products and nothing has served my skin better than the well priced products A-Ret products Sarah sells.  

These are my experiences,

Lisa

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, Sarah.  I am glad you will be selling multiple strengths of Tretinoin cream in the future, that is encouraging.  I am sure it takes time to get a good product right just like it takes time to get good results after dermarolling.  I am looking forward to more excellent products from Owndoc in the time to come.

Coming from someone who has used Retin-A Micro 0.1% and Retinol.  I have been thrilled with the 0.05% A-Ret Gel as it has been the perfect dose of Tretinoin for my skin.  And, well...its just hard to change.  I will use your new product, but I am just going through a grieving process ;-)

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Saline injections for acne scars
« on: January 26, 2012, 08:10:53 AM »
I am also wondering about the same question above, how deep to insert the needle?  Also, did someone write that this does not work for icepick or box scars?  These two types of scars are my main issue since my tx with Accutane in 1991.

Thanks,

Lisa

Thank you, Sarah.

I did not get a lot of stretch marks with either of my babies.  I gained 60lbs with my first child and i am 5' 1",  105lbs normally.  Although, when I had my first child I had been finished with my accutane treatment for abot 8 years.  That was my experience.

Hi all,

I have rolled for one month now following all of Sarah's classic rolling advise, routine, and products.  I have many acne scars due to cystic acne in my early twenties( I am now 39) and a 5 month treatment with accutane. I think you asked Cheeky if she had used accutane and I am curious if there is any information I need to know about the former use of accutane and dermarolling?  It has been about 18 years since completing my 5 month round of treatment with accutane.

Thank you,

Lisa

Thanks Sarah,

I am going to experiment with this regimen.

It did not sting.  I then applied A-Ret to my whole face and it did not sting. Can I continue to apply A-Ret after rolling and then apply Infadolan?  I was thinking of doing this 1/wk and then rolling a second time each week with a .5mm and using copper peptides after.  

Sarah, Since I tolerate the A-Ret very well after rolling, would it be beneficial to follow the above regiment?

Thank you,

Lisa

Dermarolling / Microneedling / When to use a PCA skin peel?
« on: December 17, 2011, 09:33:06 AM »
Hi Sarah,

FYI.  I searched this forum for "tca peel"  and came up with 32 results under the catagory "peel".   I am now going to read through all 32 while I have my morning coffee as its 9 a.m. eastern time here in the US.  

By the way, I LOVE the Infadolan and Vit C.  Last night I was at a Christmas party dinner with about four hundred people, and I got some great compliments about how I looked.  I will be fourty in February and I haven't gotten quite so many compliments in a few years.  Thanks to this forum, your research, and great products at a GREAT price!

Dermarolling / Microneedling / When to use a PCA skin peel?
« on: December 16, 2011, 11:17:35 PM »
I have PCA skin peels applied to my face every 4 weeks.  They are a superficial peel with a little TCA in them and some other stuff.  At what point in my monthly regiment do I have my PCA skin peels performed in between the 1.5 mm needling?

Thank You,

Lisa

Hello to Sarah and all,

Does microcurrent compliment dermarolling in anyone's experience, research,  or opinion?

Thank you,
