I wasn’t sure if I got the right size needling device. I have hyperpigmentation only, no wrinkles. I bought a .25 not knowing anything about this process. You’re just the right person to guide me through this journey! Thank you for sharing your expertise! ❤
Thanks Doc, that is so good to know about the 0. 25mm length for pigmentation and it make complete sense. I’m a seasoned microneedler and use Tretinoin along with Niacinimide after my session, but I really didn’t know about how I should be treating my couple of hyperpigmentation areas.
Could you do a quick video on how to properly clean the derma roller so it’s ready for use? I know this is really basic but I see this question asked a lot and seeing it would be helpful. Thank you.
@@Dr_Abs Thanks for your reply. When you say boil in water do you mean putting it in a pan of boiling water and boil for a couple of minutes or just put it in a cup of boiled water from the kettle?
I've recently been watching Dr Abs and taken onboard his advice regarding micro needling and Thiamidol (Eucerin) with SPF 50 daily and lifestyle changes such as weight training every day and a good diet and my skin has improved a great deal within a few weeks. My pigmentation has improved dramatically with the Eucerin cream twice a day to the point that I've had a number of compliments telling me my skin looks fresh and glowing. Thank you Dr Abs :)
I read many articles that you should use a 1 mm derma roller once a month and Not once a week because collagen is produced every month…… Skin renewal & new collagen building continues for about 40 days after needling and it will be disturb it by using the derma roller 1 mm once a week..please do doctor what do u think❤❤❤❤
hey Doc. Can you make a VDO on which skin cares (ie retinol, Hya, vitamins, or serums) can or cannot be used after micro needling and should you wait how long after the needling to apply them? This would be a great follow up Vid. Also which is better Titanium vs stainless steel? Thanks
Another great video! Thanks to your interesting, intelligent and informative content, I’ve overhauled my skin care routine. Out went the moisturiser, in came the squalane. Retinol has been replaced with Tretinoin, with great and almost immediate results, and I have retired my .5mm dermaroller and bought a 1mm one. Have also just placed my first order for NMN. Thank you for your honest and sound advice! I need a rainy weekend to catch up on my ‘Watch later’ list… Dermarolling question: What needle length would you recommend for areas like back of the hands and abdomen? 🙏🏼
Cant wait for this one... Dr. Abs id love for you to tall about Dermarollers with actual needles and ones with discs... Aswell as how to spot dented dermarollers so one doesnt scar them self. Have a wonderful day.
In last video you said 1mm once a week. Why if i watch other videos They say 1mm every few weeks or even once a Month? They also say if you do it too often you can get opposite effect and destroy collagen
Read that dermaroller makes skin thin, does premature aging, destroys underlayer of skin and collagen produced is the result of inflammation by stressing skin which in longterm is gonna give wrinkles, also pigmentation.
Just like retinoid is all your skin need to be perfect .. Is there any single product/Ingredient your hair need to be perfect Edit: not sure if you have expertise in hair
Thank you for explaining what shallow versus deep depths do. Would love to hear your thoughts on the penetration devices like Medicube and if that is even possible from a scientific standpoint.
I've done microneedling quite a bit in past yrs, at home. Following all the important instructions. Always sterilizing before and after. So why then is it, if what you say is true & the penetrative holes close up, leaving no scars, that I ended up over time getting what people refer to as "orange peel" skin? I've always had smooth, minimal pores skin. And since doing the microneedling with a derma roller I now have noticeable pores, which look like the aftermath of tiny needles puncturing my face. I'm now scared to use a derma roller ever again.
Did you consult with someone like myself first to create a supervised needling plan based on your individual medical history and clinical presentation?
@Dr_Abs @Dr_Abs no I did not. In my research about this I've read many complaints about the same potential adverse reaction happening to others. And, wanted to let others know that this could happen to them should they choose to use microneedling. I've read about it happening with in office treatments as well as home use.
I find for saggy skin or flaxicity there is nothing like the electro pen…I even get as deep as to bleed my skin and even under the eyes. It’s creates insane collagen and the skin tightens very effectively
So for hyperpigmentation (as a generalization) you would dermaroll every night for a couple minutes with a shorter needle and then follow up with skincare? Also would you cycle this regimen? Thanks.
If I’m using the testosterone cream and stylpro led mask daily, should or when would I incorporate the microneedling and would I follow with my skincare products after ?
Love this Dr. I’m 51 and have light hyperpigmentation. Would love to know which type of needle 0.5 or 1mm ? After rolling what’s your recommended skincare product to apply?
Hi! What do you think of using sponge spicules (like the VT Reedle Shot) instead of a needle roller when the purpose is just cosmetic (shallow) microneedling, to just increase product penetration? I find the spicules to be a quicker and more convenient option, but, not sure if it as safe and as effective.
Can you speak on the argument that states that micro needling with a derma roller creates scar tissue because it goes into the skin at an angle via the rolling mechanism. I’m just trying to get advice from a professional.
Oh and other than laser , do you have any recommendation to get rid of rosy cheeks permanently ? (So that we don’t have to try to cover them up with foundation ). Besides being expensive , I’ve read many horrid stories of facial fat loss from laser and other heat based treatments .
I have had a horrible resurgence in melasma despite a religious use of SPF and skin care. I recently started a weekly dermaroller routine per your podcast and red light/NIR 3 times weekly. The melasma came back worse than ever. Is there a way to stimulate collagen that WON’T increase melasma?
The heat from the NIR is probably the cause, even without dermaroller. Check out Dr Vanita Rattan's video about Red light therapy and melasma. I do believe she said there is certain red light therapy that can be beneficial for people with melasma issues but heat should be avoided.
I have an atrophic scar from a yag laser removal. 5 weeks old. Doctor advises on treating with tretinoin. Do you think microneedling is a good option here as well?
Dr. Abs You mentioned the word Safe now in the Title which is an absolute blessing.... I cant wait for you to show us how to make sure we dont scar ourselvea or hurt ourselves. Good Luck
I've heard that. But my opinion at the moment (subject to change) is that it doesn't mean all spf is the same and some may do things like that while others don't.
It says to wait 24 hours after using this before applying retinol. But isn't the point of using this to better absorb the products you use? So isn't it good to put the retinol on right after microneedling? I want to use this for hyperpigmentation, fine line wrinkles, a bit of sagging skin, etc. Will this help with dark circles under the eyes and eye bags? Thank you!
Dr . I didn’t understand how often . I use the Pen once a month for collagen production , but I am not sure how often to use it for pigmentation. Can you please clarify? Thanks a lot
Ive had severe dark circles my whole life probably genetics. Ive tried the pinch test they seem more pigmentation then thin skin, they are purple/red would this work to reduce them?
Yep I emailed Dr Abs office and the lifetime on which is on offer is £500 one off payment atm but I’d rather go see him in person for my initial consultation that’s £250 so he can see/touch/analyse my skin if that makes sense
I'm interested, when I started wearing capri length pants, my lower legs started to get uneven spots of pigmentation, not tanning wich would have faded, and nowhere else that gets similar exposure do I look like that. If it will help, I'll get the tools and do it, I don't want to give up wearing slightly less because I live in a very hot part of Texas, and would want the exposure to daylight in any case because I'm not outdoors enough due to the brutal heat.
I will just wait for Jesus to rapture me so I can get my new glorious eternal heavenly body that will never age for eternity. And I will be able to praise and worship my redeemer Jesus forever❤

What if I need both for hyperpigmentation, but also to stimulate collagen growth?
What do you think about VT REEDLE Korean skincare that is being viral right now & claimed as microneedling at home?
Sir do 1mm rollers creates scars on face? Should we use 1mm derma pen to prevent scarring. However rollers are cheaper than pens.

red light might be causing it in the dermaroller holes? just a guess. Red Light isn't designed for skin with open channels.
