Pinpoint bleeding with .5mm dermastamp

[Pringer]

Hi Sarah,

I have been using your .5mm dermaroller for a few months to help with light scarring all over my chin from a chemical peel I had about 18 months ago.  The scars look like small lines as if I pulled at the peeling skin (which I did not).   I also have some shallow acne scars amongst the peel marks on the middle of my chin with several on or near the crease of my chin.

I recently purchased your .5 mm dermastamp to get at some of the lines and scars near the crease that I can't quite hit with the roller.

Both times I've used the .5 stamp, I've had pinpoint bleeding.  I was planning on buying the 1 mm stamp to be more aggressive in this area but I'm wondering if this would be too much if I am bleeding with the .5 mm. 

Should I stick with the .5 for now or is moving up to the 1 mm ok?

My apologies if you've answered this.  I've spent hours on your site over that last 6 months and I am very appreciative of your expertise!

It is all quite individual. We have customers who get pinpoint bleeding when rolling their face with a 0.5 mm dermaroller and we have those who complain that they get no pinpoint bleeding when rolling their face with a 2 mm dermaroller. It is both OK.

A dermastamp however penetrates deeper than a dermaroller of the same needle size.

Treat your scars with the dermastamp you already have and only if you get no improvement in six months, go for longer needles.

Thank you!  I'll keep at it for a while and see how it goes.
