Do we need to get that bloody to get results?

I found this article on another website and was wondering by the picture if it is necessary to get that bloody to see results?

Hi laurakhweis

Short answer ..... No.

I use everything (as owndoc instructions) from 0.2mm to a single needle &

a 2mm derma roller for a hypertrophic burn scar & I've never looked or bled like that.

I get real red and a lil puffy immediately after but it settles in a few hours.

I only pinpoint bleed a bit from needelling.

Stick to the size guide in the instructions for your condition.

Cheers soon

I should have been clear.....sorry.

I only get red from 1mm + size roller.

Glycolic 10% peel makes me more red.

The skin consists of the epidermis (which has capillary bloodvessels)
and the dermis (that does have capillaries). As soon as you needle at
the depth of the dermis (approximately > 0.3mm - which is really
necessary because the stretch marks are in the dermis) you will get some
pinpoint bleeding. That is inevitable and it is not bad at all.

The density of capillaries in the dermis varies for each person and
while some get almost no pinpoint bleeding with 2 mm, others get a lot
with a 0.5 mm. Both the customers who get a lot and those who get almost
no pinpoint bleeding get very good results so we found no correlation
about bleeding and results.

In general, the deeper you go, the more you bleed and going deeper can
bring more improvement in certain skin conditions. So it is not the
amount of blood but the depth that makes a difference in some cases.
