Frequency of use?

[francoise]

Hi there
Having found the info on your blog I just want to clarify a point: do you use the .5mm every few days AND the 1mm every 2 weeks on your face? Or have I misinterpreted it and you do one or the other?
Thanks

Hi !

For my face, it's one or the other. If you roll with a 0.5mm 3 times a week then you don't need to use a 1.0mm every 2 weeks. You could, however, use a 1.0mm every week (hard rolling) instead of 3 times with a 0.5, but for the first 3 months I suggest using it 3 times a week.

For my stretch marks I try to roll with a 0.5mm every few days lightly when I apply my serum just to help it get absorbed better... And still every 3-4 weeks I roll hard with a 1.5mm with the same serum.

Hope this make sense to you

P.S. I would be interested if you wrote here a bit about your experience so far with derma rollers.

First off, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I have a 1.00 mm Dr. Roller. Your blog says that I can use it at most only once a week. My question is, is it okay if I use it 4-5x a week instead? My plan is to only apply light pressure, like perhaps, half or 1/4 of the standard pressure needed. Will it be okay and will it provide the same effectiveness compared to the once a week usage?

Some sites state I can do this, such as dr-roller.com, which states that a 5x a week usage with minimal pressure provides equal effectiveness to that of a once a week usage but with hard pressure. Can I confirm if this is true?

Lastly, I still have some acne on my face, but there are already scars underneath them acne, and I was wondering if it's safe to roll over the acne.

Thank you for reading my rather long inquiry! Hope you'll be able reply soon! Again, have a happy Christmas and New Year!

Marry Christmas to you too! Sorry for the late response, I don't log in as much as I used to... and on top of all I somehow managed to lose the password..

I wouldn't use the 1.0mm more than once a week... I don't see what good it will do, you need to give your skin time to heal. Either way, you will only see results after 40 days to 3 months.

Also, I would not roll over active acne, you will just risk having more scars. Just treat the acne and when it's all gone wait a few months to see what scars are left. Sometimes mild scars fade away on their own.

Good luck!

Hey,
Can you please let me know if you still are selling your serum? I'm in desperate need of some if you have any left i would buy them all. thank you so much

[homeroller]

Hi Tina, if you're still interested in the serum well I don't sell it any more but I guess I could make 1 or 2 last bottles. Leave me your email through the blog ("contact" section) and we'll work something out. I could perhaps just tell you how to make it, instead.

Hi, I'm interested in either purchasing a serum or how to make my own. I bought the dermaroller awhile back but have been busy to use it. I am now going to start and was going to buy your serum until you posted that you don't sell them anymore. You wrote that you would post a list up but I don't see it anywhere and I don't see a contact button either. I appreciate your feedback and time. Thank you!
