Dermarolling / Microneedling / Re: Can often-used 2 mm needles cause permanent damage to facial skin?

Thank you for the responses.
I am no longer worried.
I was wondering why I have such dryness on my cheeks. I realized I've been putting sulphur gel to clear my acne. Since I've been steaming it nearly everyday my acne is gone. I'm going off the sulphur and have a new set of rollers and copper peptide.

Yes, my acne scars cleared incredibly from using the roller those few times.
I asked my dermatologist if the rollers were effective for healing acne scars, she said "yes, as effective as laser for scars but it's a slow process".  I was surprised that the scars receded with one use. It wasn't slow at all and I am thrilled. I also noticed that if I lightly roll over an upcoming acne it stops the acne from going eruptic and recedes on it's own! Pure brilliance for pennies compared to laser treatments at $400/per session and 4-5 sessions!

The steaming makes a lot of sense to keep using.

Thank you for this forum, it's been a huge help. I'll try to do some before/after photos here out.

Hi Sarah,
I used the 2.0 on my chin acne scars which was a great help. I didn't realize till now that I shouldn't of used it on my entire face. I used it 3-4 times over a 4-5 month period. Did I do permanent damage?

Thank you
