There are three brands with the same name Derma Rollers. Is anyone know which brand is the original and safe needles to use?

I would not recommend any brand. I developed eczema after I started doing the roller derm treatment.

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.

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.

They are one in the same. They changed the name because of the bad publicity. Please beware. These are very overpriced low quality cosmetics. They even have people write in online to combat the bad publicity; it's not awesome as noted below, it's not even mediocre. it's just plain poor quality and doesn't work at all. Best to go with something that your dermatologist recommends.

The Roller head can be sterilised with medical grade alcohol and this is instructed on the package.However it is not recommended to share a roller between individuals for hygiene and safety reasons, therefore it is probably best that you buy replacement heads and use a new one for each customer or person that uses the roller.You can buy different needle sizes heads so each customer will get the most appropriate needle length for the treatment.

Hello, Joseph: I have no idea if they are the same as CT, but I imagine so, since C stands for Conair and T for Thermacell. Since we used to travel a lot to the UK (I am British) I found it better to use this kind of hair curler rather. It works very well and I will continue to buy these refills as long as they continue to produce them. I could not find them in any of the stores in England - they use the Braun, German refills, which don't fit. Take a chance! Order them. I am sure they are one and the same. Thank you for asking. I do hope this has helped you. Kind regards, Marion

Any standard needles you use will work. If you don't own them, they are relatively inexpensive at places like Walmart, Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

My model had all black rollers. I purchased these and installed with no problems. I compared sizes from the old and new, and aside from the wearing down of the originals, they were exactly the same! Buy and install with confidence.

I use the same needles for all my machines. It is an embroidery needle 75/11. I get mine online from Home Sew.com. I buy them in bulk. Hopefully this helps

Yes, the needles actually pierce the skin. It does hurt a little, but you control how much pressure you place on the roller, so you have some control over how much it hurts; however, it needs to do some damage so your natural healing properties will kick in and increase your collagen.

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.

In the past 3-4 months since I began using it, I've found the more consistently I use this micro-needle derma-roller, the more noticeable and permanent the effects. I am sure that results will vary per every individual's unique skin qualities and types. For my money, it's been well worth trying the 540-Titanium Micro-Needle Derma- Roller.

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!

I don't know how long or how thick your hair is. Mine is shoulder length and very fine, not real thick. I use 12 rollers. I use 3 sizes, jumbo, large and the next size down. That gives me plenty of body and curl. There are 30 rollers in my set and I don't use the 6 tiny ones. That leaves you with 24 to work with, remember I only use 12 and my head is pretty well covered. I really don't think you will need any additional rollers at this time. They last a long time, and you can reorder rollers then. I have been using Caruso for at 30 years (give or take a year) and I have only bought new rollers 3 times. I think that is pretty good especially since I use it just about every day. I can't say that about any other appliance I have. CARUSO IS THE VERY BEST! I hope I helped you:) Get it and you'll really love it!

I am not 100% certain; however from what I can tell they are comparable and use the same technology. Most people feel that the high frequency "violet ray" wands like this one are more powerful than the Dermawand. Most people also tend to feel this device is more effective than the Dermawand. I am certainly no expert, but these answers are what I found after doing some research on the two devices "side by side".

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.

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.

cord swivel? Is that supposed to be good or bad? Anyhow, I just love my set of needles and have used them every day since I bought them. No problems whatsoever!
