I have been using the Dermaroller for my acne scars for years, the item itself is different from the Dr Roller Dermaroller (which is the best one on the market), which I have used on face before (I have the 1mm microneedle one for both brands). The differences are that the needles on this type of roller are not in a zig zag line (which does not seem to matter much, having used it on my face this weekend) and are not as sharp as the Dr Roller ones, however this does not mean that they do not do the job or are less effective. Do not get me wrong they are both painful and you are meant to pass over each scar a total of 16 times (4 times in each direction) so eventually you do get a little blood coming out, you are meant to. The principle is that you are in effect re-opening the acne scars and get your body to produce collagen and seal the scars correctly, and I promise you this tool does do this. It is excellent for skin rejuvenation. My acne scars are less deep than what they used to. As there are needles you have to be mindful that you are meant to suffer a little, therefore, if you cannot take it get some numbing cream or lidocaine (after a while you get used to the pain, like we ladies do when we wax ourselves, don’t we?), also because the item is again made of needles, use some Dettol to sterilise the Dermaroller once you finished using it, I mix water and Dettol and keep it there for 30 mins to 1 hour. The item should be disposed of after 3 months if you are using it regularly i.e. every 2 weeks, or after 6 months if you are using it (like me), every month or so, although I got a bit of a break over last year and did not religiously do it every month. On my skin, after the treatment I use some disinfectant (Savlon or similar) to get rid of the little specks of blood, then followed by a vial of collagen and elastin and finally once dry I put some Aloe Vera 98% to soothe the skin. It does work, I noticed the effect after 2 days I have done it and also I have been told by people around me that my skin does look better after the treatment. It does tighten the skin, so in the long run you also delay getting deep wrinkles, so all round the dermaroller tool, whether this brand or the Dr Roller is a good product. It is important not to put make up on for 2 days after the treatment otherwise you get blackheads, which defeats the purpose. Also do not go over any fresh spots or irritated skin you currently have, rather go near it to help produce the natural collagen. Only use on old scars and not irritated parts of the skin if in doubt.Overall I would say that this item is less painful than the Dr Roller because needles are less sharp and go less deeper, but it does produce results.

I really like this derma roller. I apply Emla cream to my face first, so it doesn’t hurt as I don’t press very hard. It just burns slightly leaving my face red for a few hours, which is not a problem if I do it in the evening. I tried doing one hand as well, and after only one go, that hand looked better, the dips between tendons filled out quite a bit improving the look of the hand. The roller seems a perfect size to easily use on different areas, even narrow spaces like between the eyebrows. After use I sterilise it with Savlon lotion, and then dry it on paper towel. The perspex container it comes in is neat and attractive too, keeping it clean and protected. I would certainly recommend this product.
