Does the derma roller make you bleed?
1466936
Any derma roller can make you bleed if you press hard enough. It is highly suggested that you do not roll hard enough to bleed. You gain nothing extra from using that hard. The recovery time will be longer without the extra benefits. Many of us have seen those bloody videos and they are scary. Most people will say that they have a slight red- pinkish color for a couple of hours. Therefore, would not use right before going out on an evening date, but rather when you know you are in for the evening.

No bleeding, but all the prickling makes my face itch a little the day I do it

I had a little guy jerk his head while I was trimming around his ears...it nipped him. That is the only time it has actually cut anyone for me and it didn't cause him to bleed. I hope this helps.

Yes it is part of the process. Within 24 hours you will see your skin back to normal.I have very large pores but within a day or two, I can see the pores minimizing smaller. I have been using the derma roller for about 4 months now and can see a noticeable difference. Be patient and stick with it, you will be glad you did.

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.

From my experience, it actually bleeds less than most dyes. And it stained my white counter, but after a few harder scrubs, it came right off. Didn't get on my pillow. Came off of my skin really really easy too

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.

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.

Yes. I do! Just be sure that you aren't pulling the bandaid off when it's still sticking well, it'll cause it to make a scab larger and possibly scar! Good luck :)

Hello!!!! Yes, the derma roller is catching on--just read an article that Jen Anniston contributes her lovely skin, partly to a derma roller----!!!!!! When I first started with mine, I would use it in the evening , apply my products, then it's a good idea to wait and "feel" how ur face reacts... First time, be gentle,and ur face will react-maybe with some itching or red lines..it goes away quickly.then skip a night before using it again---I use mine about 3x a week,but I know of people who use theirs every day, once they're used to it...I think,start slowly,u know ur skin, then work up to more.. Good luck! m.p. ---- always,always sterilize ur roller before using !!!!!!!!! Hello!!!!

Only made me bleed a teeny bit on my forehead (skin is thinner there) but only tiny tiny amount. The rest of my face just feels like a sunburn afterwards.

I'm very fair so I'm not sure. It does cause me to get red and the redness can remain until the next day. So, I would definitely check with the manufacturers website just to be cautious.

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!

Thanks for your interest in our Derma Roller SGF. Several people have written reviews stating they had experienced dramatic results with reducing age spots. While everyone is different, we believe it is certainly worth the effort. If I ask myself, 'would I pay twenty or so dollars to simple try to get rid of MY age spots'??? I know the answer is a resounding, YES!!! So, I tried it, and it worked for me! We hope if will work for you!!!Thanks,Team SGF

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe derma roller refers to the actual product (the roller itself). I purchased mine with the brand name Diva d'or. I have no complaints with mine. Good luck.

No bruising for me, but it seemed to produce puffiness in the area. I discontinued use because it looked as if it was actually causing damage.

I can't used them continually, as the adhesive tends to pull off the outer dermal layer. My skin gets red in the shape of the strip and gets tender. It could be that I have an allergy to the adhesive.

Dear Jen, We prefer you beeing nervous about using the Derma Roller than beeing careless. For what you say in your question it seems you have deep scars. Our advice is to consult a dermatologist or cosmetician specialized in microneedling, to take a look at your skin, and advice you best length of microneedles and waiting time in between sessions. They can also train you to use it, at least once, and then you can continue at home. That said, and making clear that what I am going to say here following, it is not a medical or specialist advice, on the litterature and studies performed with the dermaroller, it has been shown that between sessions you should leave you skin rest from 4 to 6 weeks. Normal healing after any kind of injury, takes around a month, so that is why you have to wait. YOu need to leave your skin to heal after the session (4 weaks minimum) then a week or 2 of rest, and then do another session. A few times a week it is not advisable on the 1.0mm long microneedles. Probably they heard to do several times a week from a 0.5mm needle lenght which hardly makes any effect on the skin. The face after treatment is red, and next day is red too as if you had been taking a sun bath. If you do the session on Friday night on Monday you should be a bit red, but nothing that prevents you to go to work. Of course it depends on how hard you used the device on your skin. If you are not careful and push too hard, you can even injure yourself. So please be careful. You don't have to feel any pain during the procedure, it is not a tatoo!. If it hurts, STOP! you are doing it wrongly. Hope this helps, but please, a professional will give you better advice, so please consult with one.
