I am looking at buying the Derma-roller for facial wrinkles and also Cellulite. Which length needle would be the best to use? Thanks Julie

I would get two ... The 1.5 for face ( yes it hurts but worth it ) and a 2-3mm (3 if u can find it) for legs. Always use good serums afterwards its even more incredible that way.

I like the 1.5mm. It doesn't seem like you need more than to just prick the surface of your skin. If you have deep wrinkles or laugh line then longer may be more helpful.

Julie, I did some reading before purchasing the 1.5mm and read that the 2mm was more effective for stretch marks, but that the 1mm or 1.5mm was effective for wrinkles. My 1.5mm is doing a great job on both. I don't know how well it will work on cellulite areas and saw no reviews mentioning it.

Oh I forgot to tell you julie you can buy Amore pacific time response ampoules, the single ones on eBay they are like 80 bucks. They usually sell them in a kit but better this way. They have this powdered ECEG concentrate in the product that in combination with micro needling does the most amazing thing I've ever seen to skin. I used to be a chemist so I'm pretty versed and want to help . Best, Anne

Maybe a .5 mm roller. You're not supposed to use the 1.5 for your face. That one is used for the body; like the stomache and arm area

Well really the longest you can handle. I like the 1.5 mm it does the job. Just remember it takes time to see results.

Petite is very tiny if you want to have tighter curls use that for hair around your face. The small is a bit bigger and would use them on the top of your head for the more lift. I have never found a better steamer then the carouso steam rollers. It is simple but effective and keeps your hair from being dried out. loved them when my hair was long and would not hold a curl. Found these and my worries were over. Thanks for asking. :D

I think the lift wand works better. But unfortunately the mechanism is not good and does not hold the attachments properly and they break easily. It is made very poorly. If it was constructed better it would be great. So I cannot recommended it. The derma wand works a little differently and there are no attachments it does an ok job. I hope this helps you.

I'm not sure about enlarged pores but it has improved my texture. Here is some info I found on needle size. "Generally, the longer the needle length, the more penetrating and the deeper the microneedling treatment will be. For beginners, we recommend a needle length of either 1.0mm or 1.5mm. These lengths ensure a balance between safety and results. If you have delicate or sensitive skin, then start with a 0.5mm roller. Avoid using rollers with length greater than 2.0mm unless you are a trained beautician or have used microneedling for a substantial period of time." I don't have sensitive skin, but I wanted to start with the .5 and I've had good results. If I used longer needles I would definitely have to use a numbing cream!

In the mornings after applying hyaluronic acid I use olay complete and at night I use Hyaluronic acid and ROC Retinol Correxion max. it has made a huge difference in my skin. I also recommend the Derma Roller twice a week with very little pressure needed. I bought my Derma Roller for like under $6 and its the .5 through Amazon.

I honestly can't remember other than to tell you that all the instructions are in English for the three that I have purchased --- all with great results, by the way. I do like the one with the infrared light the best as it offers more healing results. I'm experienced enough in acupuncture to say that these titanium needles will do the trick for light weight jobs, such as faces. As an Holistic Healer with an additional license in aesthetics, these rollers present a quick, positive result without a large degree of pain to the client. Hope this helps you.

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.

I personally like the 1inch wand best. It just depends on what kind of curl you want. I like for my curls to be lose so I use the 1inch.

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!

deniz isler, Thanks so much for you inquiry. The Derma Roller SGF has only been for sale on Amazon for about 6 months, however, derma rollers in general have been around for much longer. As for results after longer periods of use, one person was so kind as to leave a very detailed report of long term use with several updates. While this person did not use our Derma Roller SGF, she did in fact use a very similar roller. We hope you find this report of great interest, we certainly do! Sincerely, Team SGF................here is that link:

Depending on the depth of the needle (.5-1.0) there may not be any bleeding. And depending on how much you exfoliate. My first few times using it, I had no bleeding. As I continued using peels and exfoliating, I might bleed a little here and there. But you should uses light pressure but not so light the roller slips. You don't want it to turn on its own or slip, as that will tear your skin. Roll over each area 10 times and three different directions (30 times totall). There are YouTube videos demonstrating the use. Good luck and have fun.

There is no guide. I can only give my experience and what I was taught by my dear friend a retired RN who sells the products. I started out at a .50, and it is very hard to induce the kind of pressure you need for this collegian induction therapy. It is much easier for someone else to roll your skin properly with a needle you know can make you bleed. I bought the 1.0 not knowing the size of my first one and was amazed at the difference. Personally I suggest you buy one of each size (.25, .50 and 1.0) and a bottle of Barbicide to keep them clean. Different sizes will allow you to use what you are comfortable with where you are comfortable with it until you are ready to move up. I would stay away from a 1.5 or 2.0 until you learn the healing pattern of your shin. Remember that age and gravity pull down so you want to pull up... The same way a plastic surgeon does with a face lift procedure. Hope this helped.

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!!!!

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?

The derma roller works really good. The derma roller combined with a healthy diet and regular excersize has completely gotten rid of my cellulite. And it tightens up belly skin after pregnancy really good.

I would use a medical grade like this one. Size depends on what you are using it for, as I understand it. I am using 1.5 on my face and I don't find it too painful, in fact less so as time goes by. I don't use it more than once/week and I apply HLA serum first. It is very slow but is just beginning to have some effects after two months of weekly use.

You use it on a cleaned face that is dirt and makeup free. After rolling the derma needle in all directions I like to put in my moisturizer or any anti-aging serum.
