Dermarolling / Microneedling / Please help me I'm new and need advice on needling acne scars
« on: December 30, 2012, 10:29:39 PM »
I'm currently using retin-A and sulfur 10% biosulfur 1% face wash for my cystic acne that I've suffered from for 9 years. I've got it mostly under control, but I have really awful scarring and hyperpigmentation. I'm going to use a 15% at home TCA peel for my hyperpigmentation, but I need to know what type of needling is best for the raised scar on my nose and near my nose, the pitted scars and large pores on my cheeks, and my small forhead bump scars.
I read about the derma stamp, roller, and single needles, but I'm still debating. What size is best? Where do I get individual needles ( if that's what I need). Should I use a 1 mm derma stamp for my whole face or a single needle for the near nose scar and a derma roller for the rest of my face?
Also, should I do the TCA after or before needling? How bad will my face look (because I can't avoid being out in public, I'm in college) after derma rolling, needling, or stamping? How long will it take to heal? And lastly, what can I do to prevent hyperpigmentation while needling? My skintone causes me to be prone to it.
I've attached pictures of my scars for reference.
