Would I be able to work the next day once I've used this roller for the first and or continuing? Or will I have redness, dots from the needle or etc?

If it's being used correctly, your skin should be slightly red. I was able to use mine before bed the first time, and woke up with a pink flush (rosy), and no pinpricks visible. Make sure you hydrate and moisturize. Also, get a full nights rest. Sleep does wonders for your skin.

It really all depend on your tolerance and patience. I personally got over the pain and do it every other day and love it. The results are amazing, just remember if you do it that often you don't have to put to much pressure. Don't forget to clean with hot water and alcohol when you move to other section of your face and my secret once your done use vitamin E on the areas you have just needled. It goes directly into the skin dermis and the results will surprise you. Hope this helps

I use the roller when I notice my skin is looking dull and blah and my pores appear larger. I'd advise once you get the roller use it 1 a week until you get use to it because it's and awesome product if use according to how your skin responds to it then lessen use as skin needs it. I'm light skinned African American who's 44 yrs of age. My skin is reddened for about 10 min after use, then I use toners and moisturizers shortly after to soak in to my skin while my pores are open and expose. This insures maximum absorption. I always notice my results the next day. My daughter uses for cellulite too. I hope I answered all your questions because when was looking for more information about the product I didn't have much luck I just tried it by chance and loved it.

I can definately see the needles doing the work, and it will depend on where you turn the needle head. I usually don't go above 1. Around the eyes and above lip .05 the lowest. I love the device and see a difference when used about 1 per month. Happy to help if any more questions.

This is a good one. Also like MT brand. I don't buy the cheap ones, like below $20 simply b/c I don't want to take a chance on problems. How I clean mine: soak your roller w a denture tablet after use, in a plastic cup so you don't damage the needles;let air dry a couple days; cover it when completely dry, then 30 min in 70% alcohol before you use it the next time. Follow their directions for cleaning, but this is how I do it based on research on derma rollers. I derma roll regularly and it makes a difference, skin texture is finer, pores get smaller, acne pits smoothing out, crepe texture less, my skin is getting thicker. It is very slow, but hey in a year, if I didn't do something my skin would look a year older. This way, it is getting better. Good luck to you! BTW 1mm is a good safe length, follow directions. It shouldn't hurt, shouldn't bleed. It feels prickly. If it hurts or bleeds, you are pressing too hard. If your skin doesn't get red, you aren't pressing hard enough. Be careful around your eyes. I test to see if I am indeed breaking the skin by dabbing a little alcohol on a spot. If it stings you are doing it right. Do at night so redness will be gone by the time you get up. Also the little micro holes you are making are perfect for putting on collagen inducing products like vitamin C and something with retinol. I only use 2 products, and they make a huge difference. Your skin will soak up the C fast, straight to the dermis, which is where collagen is produced. Collagen means tightening. After 15 months of rolling you'll have a whole new network of collagen under your face!!! and we know what that's gonna do lol!! tighten up all those sags & lines!!! :)))) Don't roll over fever blisters (you'll spread them) and don't roll over moles, etc.

Yep. Just roll it on your skin. Keep it and your skin clean and sanitary, and you'll have zero problems. I use hydrogen peroxide to clean both the roller and my skin before use.

I've only had problems with the first roller on top of my head if I use the clip, so I don't. I use a couple large metal hair pins from my old rollers. As long as your hair is dry the others do not leave any lines.

I am new to BBB. My experience has been to use it a few days in a row, follow the trigger point index and get more info about trigger points to get all the right locations. I only hold it on a sore spot for about a minute or two, thats about all I can take. The relief is wonderful. I am sore from it but make sure to drink plenty of water to flush out the toxin that has built up in the knot..hope this helps some

Well, consistency is key. I wouldn't expect anything drastic. After you get over the slight bruising that will occur the first days and keep going there will be results. I could never get to more than 10 minutes or so at a time so I just include it as one part of a diversified routine to keep from getting bored.

I suggest that you use the CD that comes.with your serger and follow the instructions carefully. I had that problem at first and found that the CD was quite helpful. Remember to unthread the two needles before you retread the loopers.

The needle WILL be DAMAGED and UNFIXABLE if you leave the cartridge in long enough. The best way to take care of it is to just switch out each cartridge after each use, regardless of how long you used it. Trust me on this. It happened to me.

before using you are supposed to follow the instructions and keep it out for 2 days to come to its full form. And if you are asking about its recovery after you have been using it for a while.. It wont. It will start thinning with time

It depends on the Derma Roller needle size you would use. According to the Derma Roller site (HTTP://WWW.DERMAROLLERSHOP.COM/BLOG/HOW-OFTEN-TO-USE-DERMAROLLER/"the 0.2-0.25 mm can be used daily or every other day...for better skin care product absorption." Check out the sight and educate yourself before purchasing one...that way you know what size Derma Roller to order. Good luck!

Yes, the needles do penetrate the skin and are very sharp. The photo is misleading as it makes the roller look very large, but in fact is very small. I bought the 0.5, but after a few more weeks use I will probably go up to the 1.0. So far so good, I mean I haven't seen dramatic changes, but then again I've only used it less than 6 times.

I started with the .5mm because I'm very fair skinned and slightly sensitive to begin with, so wanted to start at the lowest level and see how that goes. My first try, I pressed enough to feel the little needles, but not hard enough to make my face more than slightly pink. A couple days later I used a slightly more pressure and yes, it's somewhat uncomfortable but not so much as to stop doing it, after that time my face was pretty pink with a tight feeling for a couple of hours. Again, the third time and ever since, I've pressed harder (never enough to draw blood at all) and now my face stays red and feels tight for 4-5 hours and I have received a few compliements on "glowing". My suggestion is to always start slow and build up. And it's really important to rinse/clean the roller in alcohol after each use and let it dry before placing back in holder.
