Hi Sarah,
I sincerely apologize if I made any comments that may have implied any negativity to your business. Let me make it clear that I am NOT a co-inventor of the Dermaroller or a microneedling practioner. I am just like any consumer who likes to do research on the derma roller and is inquisitive on its abilities to
potentially remodel the skin in conjuction with the right skin care routine (e.g., Vitamin A & C + GHK-Cu + sun protection). I have recently purchased your 1.5 mm derma roller along with the EMLA cream. I am planning to start my derma rolling diary later this december with progress pictures. I may or may not post them up here. I think your website is fantastic that it sells affordable derma roller and skin care products AND reasonable intructions. I was just curious as to why it was necessary to add the derma stamp when the derma roller can provide the same results. That is where I assume the derma stamp acts as the "copycat" so to speak. I guess I find it much more preferred, for me, to use the derma roller instead of the derma stamp because it is more versatile. You can treat localized scar as well as larger skin areas with a smooth stroke of the roller. I do not mean to apply my view on this to every consumer. I came to realize that it all comes down to personal preference on how they like to hold the device and how they prefer to manuvere the needles (rolling vs stamping). Here is how I personally assess the pros/cons of each device:
Single Needle: effective at treating white stretch marks and scars but can be a tedious task when use over a large area of skin. Manuever the device by manually pricking the skin one at a time
Derma Stamp: effective at treating a variety of skin issues such as acne scars, skin discoloration, skin texture, and wrinkles on a localized skin area conveinently. Manuever the device by manually stamping a specific area of skin one at a time.
Derma roller: effective at treatment a variety of skin issues such as acne scars, skin discoloration, skin texture, and wrinkles on a localized AND elongated conveinently. Manuever the devic by manually rolling a specific or larger area of skin. Also, you get to roll left to right, up and down, and diagonally in an even manner. It may take some time to acquire the skill to control how much skin you want to prick with the roller.
Again, I am sorry that if you find my statement peculiar. It was not intended to be so. I mean no disrespect.
[Update: and about the whole store comment, I just think there are so many online shops these days that sell a lot of filler products, many of which work the same as each other. True, it can come down to personal preference. But it can also come down to: if there is a best, then use the best. If there is the cheapest, then sell the cheapest. Something like that.]
