In brief

You’ll learn how to safely use a derma roller at home to reduce acne scars, including choosing the right needle size, cleaning it properly, and understanding pain levels. This method suits those with healed acne scars looking to stimulate skin renewal, but avoid it if you have active breakouts.

Titanium vs surgical steel microneedle (micro needle / micro needling) skin roller? Does it hurt - is it painful?

WARNING: do not use on active acne, or even a little bit of acne! It will spread!

Please watch the whole tutorial, I tried to put as much information in the video as I could, whilst showing you how I use it on my face.

A dermaroller works by prickling your skin, and tricking it to renew skin cells by repairing itself. It is known to help with; acne scars, spot marks, scar removal, stretch marks, cellulite, wrinkles, hair loss, collagen production for more elastic skin etc.

THINGS I FORGOT TO MENTION:
1) How often should you use a derma roller on your face? - It depends on you really. Personally I would not use it more than once a week, just because I want to give my skin time to heal itself. If your skin is really bad in terms of scarring, then you can use it 2/3 times a week.
2) Make sure you disinfect the roller after you finish using it. Wash it with soap to get rid of any oil and dirt first, then use surgical spirit to disinfect - so it is ready for use next time.

If you are in the UK, and would like to purchase the dermaroller I use in this tutorial, please use the link above. If you are elsewhere, just make sure you pick the transparent one and not the black one.
