> What size dermaroller would you recommend I purchase to roll my turkey > neck area. I'm a 51 year old female, and wasn't sure if I should order the > 1.5mm or 1mm needle length. A dermaroller cannot fix significantly sagging skin, but itr can improve the skin texture and mild skin laxity. However, if there is serious excess skin on your neck, then you need a necklift.
If your skin is only mildly lax then use a 1 mm dermaroller (every two weeks) and apply some tightening creams right after rolling. Dermarolling highly enhances the absorption of any skin products, so that should be a good combo.
You should also apply a homemade vit. C serum on your neck. Read our detailed instructions on how to make it and how to roll:

Pricking the skin with needles will trigger your own collagen production and that collagen will stay. Contrary to fillers such as Restylane that people get injected by a doctor to fill their wrinkles. Those fillers have an immediate effect but our body slowly eliminates them - that's why they have to be re-injected all the time. If you manage to produce your own collagen by dermarolling, it will stay.
If you get some "hollow" places on your face caused by receding fat - as we age we are losing fat from our skin - a dermaroller cannot fix it. Then you really need some fillers to be injected to the hollow areas where the fat has gone missing - such as under the eyes.
