Burn scar after dermarolling

[Khaleesi]

I just had dermaroller done 4 days ago to my face because of very mild deep scarring. And because it is said that its the safest I went for it. But it left me with a big patches of brown burn to my both cheeks. Which is weird because of many of the stories Ive read over the net I never seen anything like it. So I ring the therapist and she said it could be the D-congest that she applied after the Vitamin A after the dermarolling. Now I am sad because maybe I will be left with more scars. I still have 2 more course of dermarolling and not sure if I should go for it or change clinic. I just hope that this burn would not scar. Ive waited awhile to get this done and this is what I get...

Your practitioner clearly did not read our dermarolling guidelines, because there it is written that whenever substances are applied to freshly rolled skin, it should be taken into account that their absorption will be massively increased (can be a thousandfold).

So they should have done a test patch on themselves first, or educate themselves on the effects on open skin.

It is better to home-roll according to our instructions than put your faith in any clinicians. They often don't take the time to do a test patch on the customer's skin - which is the only way to be sure.

In order to do a test patch first, the clinic would have to let you come in for a short time and then come back. They'd risk losing a customer in between, or due to the increased fee they'd need to ask (more time expended for them).

Homerolling can be done after preparing yourself first, with exactly what you need, and you can take all the time you need to do things properly. It is much cheaper too - within the budget of almost everyone.

The problem with dermaneedling is that because it works so spectacularly well, everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon, offering microneedling sessions to people but some of those practitioners are just not qualified.

     

 

I expect and believe you will not suffer permanent scarring from this though. Do not forcibly remove the scabs! The longer the scabs stay the better. Keep the skin moisturized.



Anyone who wonders whether they can apply a skin product on open or raw (from the day before) skin:

Do not ask me please but ask the manufacturer of the product. If the manufacturer does not answer or does not know or is not very sure about their answer, do a small test patch on yourself first, preferably on your upper thigh. If it does not cause trouble there, do a small test patch on the facial skin, if you intend to do the full procedure there.

The vit. A she applied after rolling, if it was Retinoic acid, then it was that that caused the burning. Never use that on open skin! Only very exceptionally, like on individual scars such as stretchmarks you can apply it on open skin and on the actual scar only, not the surrounding skin. This is a specialist topic and it depends on the type of skin, the percentage used, the area treated etc. The general rule is not to use Tretinoin on freshly rolled skin.
