Which dermaroller should one begin with?

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.

Depends in what you're addressing. Fine lines & wrinkles...a .5 or .7. Deeper penetration addresses scars & the like, so my research indicates.

I own both 1 mm and 1.5 mm. My skin is quite resilient so they both work fine for me. If you are sensitive to pain perhaps you should start with the 1 mm system.

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.

it depends what area you want to roll. For abdomen a 1.5 mm for the face a 0.5 mm.

I ordered the 1.5 because I wasn't sure on how much pressure was going to applied. Melisa

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.

Get one that has little to no fuzz. You won't be able to use it on the first coat. You need the brush to get intothe cracks, crevices, etc. Second/third coat--roller was great. Got a very smooth covering with no drip marks.

Depending on the area to be treated (i.e. thickness of the skin) .5mm is good for general face treatment. I would look for a good quality needle with FDA approved, gamma-sterilized and make sure they have precision cut needles. Three line rollers are a nice addition for hard to reach areas but start with the regular size which is good for all over the face.

Hello Lynne. I look after my dermastrips so I feel they will last me years. I did buy the very thick ones so they are like a thick rubber bank. I use mine only on the top. But the information I got is that you do each one separate if you want to do both. I put mine in at night when I'm on the computer for one half hour. Working great. Beverley

It's mostly a question of need. Depending on skin type and purpose of use. If your skin is dry and you want to deepen the use of skin product so as to obtain greater moisture to lower dermis levels, then go with a 1mm. You need to make these determinations before buying.

I just recently purchased the Derma Roller. Included was a very thorough and helpful instructions and any questions could be redirected to Jen Becht. She recommends to be used once a week. I have been using it twice a week with no side effects. For me it is too early to tell. I have had issues for many years with deep brown melasma spots. So far the Derma roller along with the Vitamin C serum does seem to help with the lighter melasma that does not respond to IPL. I do like both products and am hoping for continued improvement over the next few months.

Every one has different types of skin. So my recommendation would be Astra or Personna... They both last me 3-4 good shaves a piece. Feather razors are good but are really sharp. I use all 3..can't go wrong with those

You want to make sure you apply the creams after you use the derma roller. I saw results after the first use.

It depends on how sensitive your skin is. Start off at once or twice a week and then work up to every other day. It's important to use a VERY GENTLE circular motion. Too much pressure and you'll abrade the skin. Use in the evenings before bed for best results and follow with a good moisturizer that contains retinol. Your skin regenerates and heals as you sleep.

A bit late, but I like Dovo razors myself. 5/8 or 6/8 is pretty comfortable starting. I would look for a shave ready straight razor. A filly strop is nice to start with and works very well. May hove to google that one.

To complete the set (regimen), you will need # 3 (Clear), # 5 (Blender), and Tretinoin if recommended by the Dermatologist. These items are step # 1, 2, 4, and 6 only.Thank you.

The .05 was recommended by my esthetician. I use it every other day. When I first started, my skin peeled in some areas, but after using for a few weeks, it didn't happen anymore. I would start with the .05 & if it doesn't seem like enough, try using everyday. Less is more. :)

Wahl Master Barber, Ben Philips would recommend 7060-700 foil shaver. All foil shavers are designed to remove stubble only. Not long hairs! Shaving the head is a 2 step process: you should use a clipper set @ zero remove the long hairs first then use the shaver (or just purchase a Wahl balding clipper but that only cuts close, the shave takes it super close)

Whatever cleanser you prefer. I would test with something mild first, depends on your skin how much it can tolerate, but this is a very thorough cleansing tool.

I purchased the "shave ready" one - and it is great - been lasting a long time. I just strop it each time. It's a great starter razor.
