I appreciate the reply Sarah!

So with the 1.5, Im sure ill need a topical numbing cream rite?

Also, as far as alternating cheeks, do you mean the first week do the left and after the next 3 do the  right? Or do you mean do each within a couple days?  Also with incorporating needling into my current routine, do I skip the cleansing brush on the day I needle? And also how soon wld I be able to go back to using it?

I can definitely see why your so passionate about needling. Feel free to email me as well :0) Im going to try to stay consistent. I know consistency equals results.

Congratulations on quitting smoking!! That alone is a big accomplishment!

Hello,
First I want to say thanks for the suggestions ans encouragement. I am ready to start my journey to "picture perfect" skin lol. Its nice to know someone that is starting out with the same degree of scars. We should definitely keep track of our progress n help encourage each other. I think thatll definitely help make this journey alittle easier
 
N I do agree, makeup doesn't really help. It does to a certain extent but in certain types of light. I am currently taking a multivitamin. I used to take msm but slacked off on taking it. I need to get some more so I can start taking it again. The same for vitamin e.

I have read the instructions, as well as, alot of the posts. There is ALOT of great info on needling and the products to use.  The site is very informative, especially when reading others' experiences.  How long have you been needling?

Dermarolling / Microneedling / ACNE SCARS on dark skin before and after dermaneedling

Hello all!
I'm new to the world of dermarolling and just had some questions about where I should start. So for starters Ive had acne since my teenage years but began to clear up as I got older. Just 3 years ago I suffered a terrible breakout and ended up having to go to the dermatologist.  Although it has since cleared, I have been left with acne scars. Theyre not too bad but they are still noticeable and at times effect my self esteem. I would love to go back to having smooth skin.

I am currently using a gentle cleanser 2x daily and retin-a, along with a cleansing brush at night. I was wondering how I would be able to incorporate dermarolling into my routine. 

I was also wanting to know which needle length would be best for my scars.  Ive included some pictures so you can get a better idea of whats going on.
