Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: Slight redness around scarring

« on: February 09, 2013, 08:04:49 AM »

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for the advice!

I think stamping has caused the redness around the scars, too. It got lighter since it has been a month since my last stamping. Do you think it is okay to stamp now? Or, should I wait until all the redness goes away? I will try the stuff that you recommend when I stamp this time.

Also, I am actually thinking about purchasing infadolan and retin-a. I read so many great things about infadolan and I think that would help the redness and dryness after stamping and dermarolling. I am still afraid of using retin-a but I think I should give it a try because hypopigmentation is so annoying! Plus, I have some clogged pores on my forehead. I really hope it helps.

I will come back again to post some updates!

Thanks.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Slight redness around scarring

« on: February 01, 2013, 05:06:34 PM »

Hi,

I have been rolling my both cheeks for about three months now with 1.5 mm stamp and 0.5 dermaroller.

I am doing it consistently but not frequently because I noticed that my skin gets really dry afterwards. But I am seeing a positive results so far:) My overall skin surface has been improved a lot. I am still working on ice picks and box scars.

Now, I have a question.

I am noticing that it is slightly red, more like a pinkish around box scars/ice picks. It is not raised nor inflammed.

It does not hurt and i do not have any active pimple near the scars.

Is that normal?

Thanks.

Thank you for the reply.

I will definitely try 1.5mm dermastamp and will keep you posted.

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Treatment for acne scarring

« on: November 09, 2012, 04:16:30 PM »

Hi,

I would like to know if I should use a longer dermaroller/dermastamp for my scarring on both cheeks.

I have been using 0.5mm dermaroller (early to tell if it is working for me) but I think I maybe need to combine a dermastamp for ice pick and box scars on both cheeks (I also do have a bit of rolling scar by the mouth).

Pigmentation is getting lighter (very slowly though) so I don't worry about that much for now.

I have attached pictures of my right cheek only but the left cheek is no better or worse.

Please reply me back at the earliest convenience.

Thanks!
