I tested the 1.00 derma roller out on a few spots on my face tonight. I barely applied pressure and it didn't hurt so can I use again tomorrow nightt?

Hello, our advice is to get professional supervision or wait 4 to 6 weeks.RegardsNinne

Manufacturer should respond, but the instructions say every 4-6 weeks, I believe

No, wait like the last comment said and do research on why you have to wait the 4 to 6 weeks. You aren't giving your skin the chance to heal and build the collagen to improve, you may in turn be damaging your skin. Research first

I'm slow on understanding the question, but when using the product it should be no longer than 10 min at a time. I don't know if that's for your skin safety or the machine.

You can use 91% rubbing alcohol. The whole point of the alcohol is to disinfect the needles so you don't get an infection. It can be purchased at any drug store or market. You must serialize it for at least 30 minutes in the alcohol. Then boil some salt water and dip your roller in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Let it dry completely then you are able to start rolling. I hope this information was helpful for you.

The roller forces collagen repair just by the needle pricking, but it also opens up a window of opportunity for faster product absorption. So yes, within a few minutes apply your lotions and serums.

Good morning Shaminy. I used the roller on my face and on stretch marks on my arms. I am unsure if it will work on the back or chest as I have not tested those areas. I would lean to say it is ok to try on those areas as it is sensitive enough to use on the face. I hope this helps you out.

Yes but don't press too hard. Wait about 2 weeks before doing again. Just roll it lightly on your face. Less is more. Also don't do it too often. Once a week for 4 weeks then rest a few weeks. Otherwise you'll look like Sponge Bob square pants!! I've been using it for 3 months. Scars are diminishing. People are commenting on my face. You will need to get a new roller every 3-4 months so the blades stay sharp. Good luck!

to get used to the roller I would start off with the .5 then the 1.0 isn't so bad, also the 1.0 gets the best results fastest but is a little too long for the forehead and neck area, at least that is what I think from my own experience. The 1.5 is great for deep holes on the face and thigh area, 1.0 is good for stomach such as stretch marks. Definitely use a numbing cream if you are going to use the 1.0 and higher. I don't have to use the numbing cream anymore I am used to the needles now. I have found the stamp works great on ice pick acne scars. Tea tree oil works great on healing the scars fast but it stinks you would want to dilute it first but make sure you don't use it the first 2 days so it doesn't stink. Also acne or any scar if you stamp or roll really good then wait at least 6 months to redo them give them plenty time to heal. Hope this helps.

I am guessing your using the roller for cellulite? ?? Or discoloration? ??? I was told to use a 1.0 for those issues....this roller only is good for the product that is used on the skin to penetrate better but rollers with longer needles(like the 1.0 roller) stimulate collogen and heals the skin of marks and discoloration.

Yes! I use this after I derma roll. It is gentle and soothing enough with natural ingredients, so it is fine.

Yes. Excellent, but it hurts until you get used to it. I would test just a small place on your face to make sure your skin doesn't get irritated. Probably use it on a Friday so you've got Saturday and Sunday to see how it does.

I purchased the 1mm derma roller and used it once so far on my face. I was wondering if anyone had a problem with hyperpigmentation after rolling? I saw two spots on my nose the next day that werent there before. I didnt use sunscreen though! anyway, I really want to continue use but afraid to use it again due to this issue. could it be that I have light olive skin or because I didnt use suncreen?

I did not know what Derma Rollering was until I just looked it up. The Micro-Current does not state that it can not be used on a pricked, abrasive or other skin. It may make it more sensitive to the tingling from the current but the current can be turned down.

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.

If you are using the bio oil as a moisturizer after using the derma roller I'd say yes. But I would not put the bio oil on prior to derma rolling. The oil will stick to the roller making the growth of bacteria more susceptible. But definitely ok as a moisturizer after derma rolling.

I was using mine every other day to start out, but it really depends on how much pressure you apply when using it. If all you are getting is some general reddening of the area, every other day is fine. If you are more aggressive and getting pin-prick bleeding (which would be a bit much for the delicate area around the eye), I would give the skin at least a week or more between rolling so it has a chance to heal and bring collagen to the area.

Dear L. Lynn, while you may think of me as biased (since I am the one who chose this roller to be the first product for our brand - Bodiance) - please know that there is an overwhelming scientific evidence of it working, and working well! Studies have shown you can use it with, or without a skin care product applied afterwords, as at the core of this therapy is natural New collagen generation within your skin. It takes a bit of time to see the results in some cases, but they (the results) do come in. IMPORTANT: this is the correct size for a derma roller for face - 0.5mm, because the collagen is produced at a depth of 0.5-0.6mm. It makes it rather gentle as well! You can roll once or twice a week, clean the face first, then roll where desired. Should you choose to apply your favorite cream, the more natural it is, the better - this treatment greatly enhances product absorption. Which will also save you money on a cream - you can use less of it :) Hope this helps. Look forward to having you as our customer!

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.
