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?

Yes, SPF is important after a treatment with a microneedle device. Why? Because we break the skin to stimulate collagen, but if we don't apply SPF the broken skin could become hyper pigmented.

Yes! I had very dark spots on my arms as well as my hands and have had incredible results. A little bit goes a long way so I am able to use this product daily. It's worth it!!

Works great for both! People at tanning salon I go to even asked what I use, they said I always look so dark. Well worth the price!!

Hi Sharon, Melasma are irregularly shaped brown spots arising due to a combination of genes, sunlight, heat and hormonal changes. They appear mainly in women (90%) and mostly those in the child bearing age group. They often flare up during pregnancy. In which case they are often referred to as the pregnancy mask. The spots are often very disturbing and difficult to treat. They are different to freckles and age spots A 2004 study was carried out comparing hydroquinone vs vitamin C on melasma. 16 women with melasma applied a cream containing 5% ascorbic acid to one side of their face and to the other side a cream containing 4% hydroquinone. They did this for 16 weeks. Both creams worked for most of the women: The cream containing 4% hydroquinone gave a good to excellent result in 93% of the women. The cream containing 5% ascorbic acid saw an improvement of 62.5% in the skin. All of test participants used sun cream throughout the trial period. Today most dermatologists will recommend a treatment of hydroquinone or similar for melasma, as it is not a straight forward age /uv damage condition. Note 2% hydroquinone is the highest concentration you can get on Amazon.com. For 4% or higher you need to see a dermatologist. Vitamin c, while it works for most people, isn't the best treatment for melasma as it works in a different, but more gentle, way. Indeed there are very few, if any, over the counter treatments which do work in the short term on pregnanacy mask. Sharon, I would love to have you as a customer of VIDI, and your skin will look and feel more beautiful with our serum, however I recommend you go to see a qualified dermatologist for your pregnancy mask and get a prescription deep treatment. (Sorry!)

I don't understand why do people were raving about those products.. I found neither both products work for my skin. No improvement..it's a waste of money.

My son has Acne and I have used it for my face and it was amazing but I would search online to see what works best for your dark spots bc not sure if this would be the route but you can check with the ones that sell this product they might be able to help best bc I never used it on my aging spots.

Some folks use vitamin c serum, hyaluronic acid, or some other collagen boosting product. BTW, you could make your own c serum (as described in one of the images for this listing. Or you can roll without any additional "assistance", as dermarolling itself stimulates production of new collagen in our skin.

This is a great product for your face to retain moisture, also its very helpful after dermarolling, as well. Any skin moisturizer will be helpful for your body, such as aveeno or curel products, you can find them in walgreens.

Not sure - my Mom uses it. I know of people using the 'Rose water' ( liquid already prepared) to assist with dark areas on the face. I am not sure if this product provides/has similar properties to treat with such conditions. However if you are considering the product as a skin lighter - it does not fade or lighter the skin based on my observation of my mom.

Yes, my mom uses it and we have noticed a significant change. The spots are getting lighter, this product is amazing, however my mom uses it once or twice per week so maybe you will get quicker results if used 2-3 times per week.

Hello Justine, we are currently putting the finishing touches on our instructional videos for use of the Melanoroller, at home peels, and also our other skincare products. The box of the roller also has some comprehensive instructions. Our products have been available to dermatologists for the last year, with considerable clinical research, so we are doing our best to make you comfortable that you can safely use our products at home. So far, the response to our products and the rollers have been over-whelming, even if we are brand new to the public. We've even had some of our celebrity clients give us some great feedback - https://twitter.com/CynthiaBailey10/status/451828382876323840 Also, you can see more on our roller on our brand new Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Melanopeel-Skin-Clarity-System/485029341626808 So, please bear with us while we get our full website up and running next week. Thank you!

I have never used the Remington, so can't speak of its effectiveness. As for the Tria, I think it would NOT work and would be painful to use. I am very light skinned and it worked for bikini line and most chin hairs, and got my leg hair to be very light colored, but my legs still have quite a bit of hair. It became painful to use when I had a tan. It was working on my underarm BUT I THINK IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 5 YEARS to finish the underarms, which is ridiculous.

Yes. I believe it is made for the face. I have melasma and was instructed by my dermatologist to use it daily; and have been for almost a year now. A little goes a long way but it is not too heavy (at least not on my skin which tends to be dry). Hope this helps.

Hi Isabel, the melanoroller listed here is sold on it's own. The other photos are to illustrate that we do carry other supporting products to improve the microneedling. We do also carry many bundled kits (these are more cost effective), which include combinations of the roller plus cleanser, toner, serums, and peels.

I have been using the lightstim acne light since April 2013. There is nothing I recommend highly enough for someone with acne. I used to get light - moderate acne on my chin, and cheek area. Since using the light every morning (usually takes me 40 min to do my whole face) I have nearly perfect skin. You can use the light at night too or twice a day if desired. It's expensive but I would pay 1,000 if I needed to. I would buy the light if you have bad skin.

Actually my daughter had hlighlightend hair and it was fine. There is a new product out though through the doctor. I think I left notes on it in another questions someone had. My daughter has suffered for year and now is all cleared up and they had a card from the company so it was almost free. Ask your doctor. If you cant fine it, and I will look for it in her files. Only trying to pass on helpful info as she suffered for years with her saboric dermatitis
