Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: Scars from years of picking skin

Last question - sorry to be a pain.

I've done my first stamp and rolled using the 1.5 stamp and roller....pain wasn't too bad. The next day I applied the vit c.

I've also bought a 3 line rolled 0.5 to use twice a week for product penetration.

You mention above I shouldn't use retin a which I have used in the past. The strongest form which cleared my clogged pores and improved the texture of my skin. But I believe that's what's dried my skin out and caused the laugh frown lines so I'd rather not use that.

I did also use a 30% salicylic/lactic acid peel to clear my blackheads and closed comedones which are coming back again even after having them all extracted.

Am I ok to continue the use of the peel weekly to clear the blackheads and closed comedones? Along with the derma stamping every 3rd week?

Thankyou

I've just received a 1.5 and a 0.5 stamp today along with the vit c powder.

The vit c powder should this be applied after each 1.5 roll every 3 weeks or should I be applying it daily after/inbetween rolling.

If I was to us the 0.5 stamp alongside the 1.5 for lines on my forehead and laugh lines is it ok to be using the 0.5 every couple of days or so then the 1.5 every 3rd week?

Many thanks

ok thankyou - ill probably leave the numbing cream then and just buy the vit c powder.

The above pics ive posted are of one cheek. I have the same small scab scars on the left cheek as well as laugh/frown lines which is from me using acne creams over the years and its dried my skin out. Ive tried to correct the texture of my skin using salicylic acid (20%) peels but i dont see much difference.


Whilst im ordering the stamp id like to order a roller for the lesser scab scars and lines on my forehead and left cheeck. ill only use the stamp for now to see how i get on but ill have the roller for future use.

What depth roller would you recommend for the less deep scab scars and laugh/frown lines?


Many thanks

Ok thank you.

After reading the forums i keep hearing of the numbing cream is this needed before stamping?

Im using the msm cream at the minute as above as its a good moisturiser for my skin. I also used Hemp seed oil as a moisturiser which doesn't clog my pores which i may go back to.

Will the cream above be ok for after use of the derma stamp.

Hi there,

Thanks for that , I'll buy a stamp and see how I go.

What cream do I need to buy alongside the stamp?

Yes I've had salicylic acid peels in the past for my acne and I'm currently using a light dermabrasion kit from olay.

Many thanks

Hi all,

After a bit of advice as to what im best to buy in terms of dermaroller/stamp.

I have pretty bad scab scars, large pores on both cheeks from years of picking my skin causing scars - Ive used loads of products over the years for my acne which has caused the skin to dry out and given me laugh lines and lines on the cheeks from the scars which ive tried to picture.

As you can see from the pics i have some deep scab scars at the bottom of my right cheek which are raised at the edges from a scab which fell off before they had healed properly causing the scarring. Im a 27 year old male and hoping to get rid of the laugh lines and scars.

Any help would be appreciated as to what to buy for my scars.

Many thanks
