Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: Is a 2.0mm Dermastamp dangerous?

Hi Sarah. For some reason, I cannot upload the picture using my phone. I have tried using my camera, but it does not accurately depict the depth of my scars. No big deal. The main question was about the 2.0mm stamp anyway.
I have one more question about numbing creams. I have looked some up online, but they all have mixed reviews. Can you recommend any that definitely work?

Dermarolling / Microneedling / Is a 2.0mm Dermastamp dangerous?

Hi Sarah.
Thank you for all the work that you do for this forum. I received really helpful information! I have a few questions about dermastamp sizes which was not really answered in other posts and I was hoping you could help me. I have pretty deep ice pick scars. (I have attached pictures). I started out with the 1.0mm dermaroller, but I don't think I am getting very deep, or at least deep enough to bring about positive results. I have watched YouTube videos where people would roll until they bled. I don't have that kind of pain tolerance & I don't know any effective numbing creams. I read that the stamp hurts less so I want to try it. I read on a website that nothing less than a 2.0mm would work for deep icepick scars, but also that stamps above 1.5 should only be used by professionals. Do you think I could safely use the 2.0mm stamp? I also have pigmentation from a tca peel that did not work. I am hoping to get rid of that as well.
Thank you so much in advance,
Kristy
