Microneedling is a great way to treat skin conditions such as acne scars, some pigmentation, open pores, fine lines, textural concerns + deliver topicals.
.
Quick Guide: Recommended depth for at home microneedling 0.1 to 0.3 mm. Traction on the skin can help with needle penetration.
.
Dermapen or Skin Pens deliver needles vertically. This decreases the theoretical issue of tissue treating, however raised the issue of tissue dragging, especially if needles are too long, motor is weak, batteries (if applicable) are low on voltage, technique is poor or skin friction is high.
.
Skin Needling via a roller is the most cost effective method of microneedling. Use of needle lengths around 0.25 mm is best. Done properly, it will cause dermal bleeding.
.
Derma Stamps: Probably the safest of the lot for at home use. Vertical delivery without drag or potential to tear. Disadvantages include time as well as awkward areas (stamping area is large).

A funny story about derma rolling, and I have been derma rolling my arms for about three months now. I'm a bodybuilder but have lost some size in the last couple of years since I'm in my early sixties. The funny thing, I'm all about doing this as sterile as possible. However, I sit outside and do this on my front porch because I like to use a spray bottle with aloe vera juice as a lubricant while rolling. When I'm finished I use a moisturizer with retinol. Funny, one morning I had just done one entire arm and went to grab my spray bottle of aloe vera and accidentally grabbed a spray bottle of fish fertilizer I spray on some of my plants. Talk about freaking out when I realized my mistake. Fortunately, no infection!! 🤣
Sir , l first view and like.I am from India.
Love your videos!🥰
Derma PEN/ Stamp (up to 2.0mm) is better than a Roller! Rollers cause more damage as they DRAG through the skin, rather than UP/DOWN in one 🕳 hole.😊
Can this device be used at home or has to be used by a specialist?
Most derms at that depth are going to say have it done by a specialist/derm. Or if you do it at home, a numbing cream would be advised.
Thanks
That's the whole point of this whole process. To cause damage to the skin. So it adapts and regenerates. 😊
@csakzozo U want REFINED PRECISE "Damage"! Like saying as a Body builder a CAR CRASH is good, cos it's trauma to the muscles...🤣🤣🤣
How often should we do it
You recommend this for melasma? 😳
What abt old scars (from 15y ago), what is the max depth (if using dermapen or stamp)?
How about for the scalp?
I use dermapen and RF microneedling in my office and I personally love them as they are very effective. But I must confess I sometimes use the RF microneedling device on myself without the RF. And it's still great! :-)
What about old stretch marks on lax post menopausal skin? I am 67 and have terrible stretch marks on the back of my thighs and legs. It always unattractive, but now it is terrible.
What needles should i use for stretch marks 😢 i have red & white lines 1year old & which product should use with plz help me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
For icepick scar, can we do 1.5 mm microneedling??
At depths like that derms recommend having specialists/derm do that and don't recommend doing it at home. Some people do use a numbing cream if doing at home.
Is this effective to improve acne scars?
Yes , 2mm needle size derma roller (192 needle) very effective to improve deep acne scar.

what about for hair loss.
My brother tried it and he said it worked but was incredibly painful. If you've had a head tattoo you'd probably be okay with microneedling too.
Its not very painful in my case i use it sparingly to avoid wounding and infection, and have results
i use tattoo numbing cream. then wash my face throughly before stamping. no pain. can do a better more thorough job
I've been using it for hair loss, but hasn't been long enough to report results. I even once heard a dermatologist (male) say that it almost brought him to tears. I probably push down harder than most, and I don't even consider it very uncomfortable at all.
