SKIN CARE TIPS- DIY Derma roller
Dermarolling or skin needling is a form of microneedling. This can be classed as generation one microneedling and is over 2 decades old. This entry level treatment is still effective for minor corrections of skin texture. Dermarolling can be used to teat very early and mild forms of acne scarring and chicken pox scars. Mild acne scar types that can respond to microneedling include shallow box car scars, mild atrophic acne scars, and rolling acne scars. It should not be used to treat red or brown acne scars. This treatment can also reduce skin pore sizing, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. The safest dermarolling or skin needle length ranges from 0.25 to 0.5 mm. Longer skin needles can cause paradoxical skin scars, and even traumatize nerves and blood vessels. Needling can be performed using a variety of devices including Dermarollers, Dermapen, CIT or Collagen Induction Therapy devices, and many variations of skin rollers. The brand does not matter, however the more needles the better- I recommend skin rollers with more than 240 needles, titanium tip, single use only. They can be found on ebay for $5 to $10. This video is designed to save you money and perform this procedure safely at home.
The fundamental difference between skin needling or dermarollers and laser, is that light energy is not used in microneedling and no heat is generated.
Microneedling -skin needling can be divided into two main types- energy microneedling and non-energy based microneedling. Examples of energy based microneedling devices include Infini, Profound, ePrime, Venus Viva, Vivace, Intracel, Intensif and Secret. These provide micro columns of injury in the deep layer of the skin, as well as controlled heating via a process called RF or radiofrequency. I only perform fourth generation skin needling using insulated energy based RF devices like INFINI micro-needling as well as third generation devices like Instensif.
Here is my suggestion for how to perform safe dermarolling or skin needling at home.
1. Photos are vitally important to assess your progress and to see if this treatment is suitable for you. Take high resolution of your acne scars or skin condition under direct and indirect lighting. Photos are vital to gauge progress.
2. Buy a dermaroller as a cheap alternative to a medical grade microneedling device. Choose a 0.25 - 0.5 256 needle dermaroller. Don’t go deeper than this for home use!
3. Use a medical grade disinfectant like Chlorhexidine. Avoid microneedling to active zits, pimples, acne or acne cysts as they may contain contaminated pus with bacteria.
4. Apply the numbing cream for one hour before the procedure.
5. Wipe off numbing cream and re-wipe with the disinfectant.
6. Have someone in sterile gloves provide counter traction and roll your acne scars. Expect to bleed as scars lie in your dermis. Roll 3-6 times with firm pressure. Change direction, ie. Rotate 90 degrees, then roll another 3-6 times. Apply firm pressure for 2-3 minutes to stop the bleeding.
7. Apply a emollient such as QV intensive or a bland moisturizer.
8. Start using active creams 2-4 days after the procedure. More experienced users can infuse skin vitamins and copper peptides straight after skin needling.
9. Repeat the process 3- 6 weeks later, intervals will depend on your needle depth, the number of passes, pressure, and your healing time.
10. Retake photos, compare after 5 sessions.
Remember - home microneedling is just a gentle treatment for mild skin concerns. Moderate to severe acne scars, wrinkles and pores will not respond to this simple DIY treatment. This is where fourth generation RF devices and lasers can be helpful. I hope you find these skin care tips, skin care routines and skin product reviews helpful.

Finally a dermatologist not telling us to not do it at home. All those other dermatologist just want us to give them our money instead of teaching us how to do it. Thank you
and he also said the technique is the same, I almost paid $100 for a derma roller.
I could do a visit just for his honesty here. I can trust him.
Rachel Mao hi Rachel
@@eddiew2325 dude wtf...
That's not how things work. I am a dermatologist, and I can assure you that there are no clear guidelines yet regarding the safety of dermarolling at home, and thus doctors will be providing subjective advice from their own experience. Dermarolling absolutely carries its own risks, and so some doctors will prefer to stay on the safe side and advise you to get the procedure done in-office, while others may feel it's relatively safe to do at home. We absolutely see disastrous outcomes of DIY dermarolling in practice. It is a matter of opinion, nobody is either right nor wrong here.
I did the opposite. Ive been spending $1000's on 4th-5th gen equiptment and only just bought a 0.25 derma roller last week. The effects of DIY have surpassed all my experience at the beauty salon. I had nasolabial folds that no equipment helped much. I started dermarolling, with a diy high dose marine collagen drink twice a day with high dose vit C. The results were dramatic in 1 session.
This is awesome to hear as I’ve been looking into Morpheus8 treatments, but was wondering just how much more effective they really are.
How much marine collagen and vitamin C were you taking? Thanks
@@jessicafb5398 2 heaped (plastic spoonfuls that come in the pack) with Q10 in my boiling cup of coffee in the morning. 2000mg of effervescent Vit C mixed in with my preworkout gym drink during my gym session. And another 2 heaped spoonfuls of Q10 collagen mixed in with my hot coco before bedtime. It may be ovekill, but the results are a lot quicker than using sparingly.
@@neoncorolla6917
I have mix of ice pick, round, box like scars on my face. I purchased dermastamp for microneedling. What should be used:
1. before stamping to clean dermaroller/dermastamp and face?
2. same day on face after stamping/microneedling session?
3. next day onwards after the stamping/microneedling session?
4. Can we use Retinol/Tretinoin, Vit c, Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic acid, icing, collagen supplement etc. next day onwards after dermarolling/microneedling?
Please recommend generic products instead of something that I can get only with a certain brand.
You can suggest the brand along with the generic product.
Thanks in advance (:
The long awaited derma roller- micro needling video. This is a SAFE DIY method for at home use. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Dr Davin Lim i want to have one too.. im beginner still learning... hope we keep in touch thank you
Yay.....bravo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dr Davin Lim
How do I contact you?
cheers.
consult
I ordered a 1.5 earlier this evening and got the creeps after watching this video so I returned and ordered a 0.5 PHEW!!! Thank you for this no messing guide.
Lol
1.5 is good for stretch marks but not on face
@@solarambala Yes it is! 1.5 and 2m are used on the face all the time! U can use these longer length for the fatty areas like cheeks and nose! For pores, you really need 1.5 m or you won't get pore tightening!
Hello Dr,
I am using 0.5mm , but the blood points are not appearing. Should I increase the size of the needle?
@@leanture3685 they work in the beginning, but after a while you will damage the natural collagen regeneration of your skin. Older people can use it though because their skin doesn't produce collagen anymore.
I really like how you smile while explaining, kinda cheers me up ^^
thx :)
That’s because he’s also very handsome!
How long with no make up after rolling ?
Lol get friends
t g jokes on u I don’t have friends
I’m glad you talked about safety throughout this video. Many times a person wants results now and do too much too fast. Then the skin is damaged. This is a great video. Thank you.
Fee, thanks for the view yet again. Cheers, Davin
Thanks for understanding that not everyone can afford to go to a dermatologist, and not scare us that it is not safe to do at home, you are a hero! many dermatologist here on youtube are not like you.
3:26 -clean face
4:07 -aftercare
5:45 -tips
6:45 -procedure
8:55 -rolling
11:37 -moisturize
Thanks for stoping me from buying the 1.5 and 2. size roller needle. Keeping it at .5 safe and conservative.
same here.
@Faraz Tariq NOT RIGHT AWAY. THE NATURAL WAY OUR BODIES RESPOND TO ANY TREATMENT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OUR BODIES TAKES TIME- ANYTIME FROM 1 MONTH TO 6MOS. EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENT. ✌💚
Nashville Tennessee I read a study that concluded that anything over.5mm did not cause an exponential increase in collagen production
Have you seen any differences?
Did it work
Whoa. I’ve been WAY overdoing it with the amount of strokes I’m doing all over my face. I’m only using a 0.3mm roller so hopefully I haven’t done any damage. I always apply Hyaluronic Acid pre-rolling and Vit C post rolling. I’m definitely going to limit the use of my roller and change my rolling strokes to exactly what you showed. Thank you so much for caring about our skin!! You are the best Dr. Lim!!
Is it working? Hello?
Did it work? What brand vitamin C?
Vit c after rolling is crazy lol. Better avoid actives after rolling
@@jeevankumarshiva6990absolutely, I applied vit c the next morning and made my face turn red, fortunately that went away after I washed my face...
Thanks for an absolutely straight talk tutorial. I'm a fan of ur style and informative videos. Would be interested in a video on micro-needling the scalp for hair health.
Way down the track.. Im more into energy devices, hence this was the first stepping stone for me 2 decades ago... cheers, DL Brisbane Skin specialist.
How does this help hyperpigmentation?
Thank you Dr Lim. I know It is three years since this video, however you were the best I have watched. Most genuine and informative. No bias being an Australian myself.
I used .25 with no bleeding so after the 3rd time I used a .5 needle and hardly bleed 🤷🏻♀️ but I saw such wonderful results already ☺️
Thanks, a lady in her 70s looked fantastic and was recommending a 1.0 that she used to keep herself looking good. Saw them advertised on a popular discounted site overseas, didn't realize how deep a 0.5 goes, or the prep and aftercare, or how much bleeding, and safety spots to watch for. Came to YT to learn more, this was the first video. Thank you for taking the time to keep people safe. I didn't realize they were 1 time use only, and the areas to stay short and light over. All the best for everyone out there.
I love Dr davin Lim because of his honesty and after seeing thumbnail in which a doctor not saying to not to use at home is just an other level of happiness.i love you Dr davin Lim❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been doing the micro needling at home for 10 years now. So far no issue. I used topical anesthesia. My face is smooth, no wrinkles. I skipped botox.
What needle length and how often? And what after cream 🤷♀️ thanks 😊
@@Vicky-ne5ev 0.5 for deep wrinkle. I use hyaluronic cream or niacinamide
You are the best.
LOL, thanks for the complements. DL
Thank you so much David! I’ve been researching dermarolling so much but just ended up feeling overwhelmed and confused. Your video is so straightforward. This clears so much up for me! :)
no problems
Would be great to see “before” and “after “ photos.
Oh.. that's generation 1...🤣 it's a new discovery to me tho
Me too! Its all new to me! It can be so overwhelming! Glad I watched thus video! 😊
It's only recently been available to for public sale for a few years
This was perfect timing! I just got one of these that I had ordered and was going to rewatch another channel about how to use it, but I trust your advice far more. Thank you!
Jill Seiffertt , what do you use for numbing? His products aren't the same as USA named products. TY
If 0..25 or 0.5 little numbing needed. Alternative ... few shots of gold old fashioned Tennessee Whiskey. :)
Dr Davin Lim , I don't drink 😁
Dr Davin Lim 😂😂😂😂
Jill, plzz how much did you get the dermaroller and where can I get it from,, plzz suggest thankz in advanced
Very informative!
Thank you for taking the time to teach us the correct way and the most safe ways to do At Home Needling / Dermarolling!
So grateful that I have you to rely on for the most informative, reliable and safe ways to take care of my skin.
You're the best!
you are indeed welcome davin lim
Eeep! I just used a 0.5 derma roller and I didn't bleed at all! Maybe it was because I didn't hold my skin taught when I was doing it.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!!! I feel so much better knowing how to perform this procedure safely. I’d really appreciate it if you made a video on microneedling on the body. I’ve heard it can be helpful with stretch marks, but it isn’t something I’d try on my own without first knowing how to do it safely. Cheers and thanks again for all the amazing content!!
Thank you doctor! You seem like a really honest and nice person. Your advice is very helpful.
I've got to say I love this . Very informative and I love how you are smiling through the video very friendly
My acne scars improved after a few times with 0.5. I am 62 so they are very OLD scars.
Janet A So pleased to hear this.
C W hehe I love u so much
This is good to hear! Some of mine aren't all that fresh. Many people are saying to improve scars you need to go deeper so it's good to hear a first hand account that the safer shallow option still does provide results.
@@Itugen88 Fortunately I don't have many wrinkles and I stopped rolling after a few times so can't speak to that.
Cool
I just see it now, his explanation..i just like the way he deliver the "message" and i'll follow it.
Thanks doc 👍
You're one of my favorite dermatologist, I love you and your videos ! ❤️
Thanks for viewing, Davin Lim
Love how oyu go into detail on new and old tech in the same field.
Oh I’m so glad I found this!! I couldn’t find a instructional video anywhere by an actual DOCTOR so thank you for this!! 🙏😊
Put me into tears when you kept saying, "safety first". I can not express how many videos I've watched for DIY and not once did they say that. Great informative video..... Thank you ..
Your are indeed welcome. Safety first. Dr Davin Lim
Love that you care for budgets, safety, achievable result.
Good bless you
I canot believe i found you doing this for a good purpose just for free! Thank you!!!!
WOW!!! This was very interesting and very informative!!! I never knew how easy this can be and also how dangerous this can be if you don’t use the right size Dermaroller and also which areas to avoid and why and which products to use before and after the procedure... I want to really thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and all of these tips and procedures with us!!!! These medical procedures and information is just really very interesting to me... 😃❤️
Mam Did you use ??
I bought everything you need 3 years ago, watched tons of educational videos on how and what to use with this Derma Roller. Only I never opened it. I definitely need to start using it now! I have smooth skin, but very Dry, wrinkles in places, a few deep dark brown spots. Should I go have those scrapped off at the Dr.? I'm 64. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I go every 3 months to get a retinol chemical peel. I did one treatment of microneedling. The price was $150.00 half off at the time. I went to dermatologist last week and asked about another treatment. The cost is $250.00. I was going to do it but will try this first. I purchased a package deal at Christmas for Botox and 2 retinol peels for $450. Last week I got retinol peel and botox. It cost me $400. They were running special $10.00 per unit. I felt like I paid a bit too much because I prepaid at Christmas for the retinol peel. I love doing the retinol peels and the results I get from doing them. Love your youtube channel. Will you do a video on retinol chemical peel please. 😊
Sunshine Mitchell Are you in Sydney and if so can you recommend someone as good as Dr Lim? I just paid $10 per unit for Botox
Im about to start my dermatology residency and im watching your videos so inspirational!
Great harm reduction video! Instead of telling people no don't do this/that or the other, your showing how to do it safely.
Brilliant advice, Doctor! Could you please do a video on using actives after derma rolling as well. Which ones, how long should you wait before applying them? Which actives to avoid after skin needling, etc? Also, how to clean the derma roller after use?
These were all answered in the video.
My Doctor has used derma pen on my hand for my scar I still remember and it is really very effective.
Hello, Dr. Lim! I really appreciate this comprehensive video on dermarolling at home! There are some aestheticians and dermatologists who do not recommend using Vitamin C after dermarolling because there have been cases of granuloma resulting from it. I would love to know what you can say about this! Thank you very much!
Hello,Dr.Lim! If I have wrinkles it is the same method?
I was about to purchase a dermaroller and i am SO GLAD I saw this video. So many showed on how to use the device SO WRONG.. because they are not dermatologist to start with. And most of them tells to use alcohol to cleanse the device and keep it in its casing for next time use, but you mention to have it disposed after use. Thank you Doc. 😊 maybe i'll just visit a dermatologist and have my skin treated professionally. God Bless you.
Thank you so much for providing realistic and safe knowledge.
How do I know what serums/peptides/etc. are safe to use right after needling? I'm a young adult and would like to add this process to my routine, but am still educating myself on it all. I really enjoyed the clarity of your video! You explained things very well and I understood them without having to pause and google :) Thank You Dr. Lim!
There are some studies showing use of active after can cause a negative immune system response check out dr dray’s video on dermarolling I only use hyaluronic acid after and a moisturizer then after 1 day I will use vitamin c etc after the initial wound has closed
@@user-cv4bl3oz5n hi... which one works for you. You said you use it right after the moisturizer?
@@user-cv4bl3oz5n
How long after applying the hyaluronic acid should I wait before using the moisturizer?
Fabulous, clinical, professional approach! Thank you for your efforts.
You’re a very good doctor! Thank you for your time showing the right way to do it. I know I won’t be doing that tho’
Thank you Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
Thankyou for not only the video, but the detailed instructions..you’re the best Dr Lim!
This is amazing. I’m so happy I found your channel!
Dr Lim, you always share great advices for skin care! I'm so glad I found your channel and share it with friends and family! Thank you for spending your valuable time educating people to avoid mistakes than can ruin the skin. Thanks and greetings from Chile and USA. :-)
No problem, thanks for viewing, appreciated. DL
I ordered 1.00mm and I'm not really sure how to use it. After watching this video I was amaze! I didn't know that you actually need to deep it through your skin and have a little blood on it. But thanks, Doc! I learned something from this video and now I'm torned weather I should be doing this on my own. 🤷♀️
Dr I love this video, thank you for letting people know that the brand or price of the darn thing doesn't matter but more the technique. Everytime I see a video where someone is trying to sell her roller as if it was made of gold I paste the link to this video I just thought I'd let you know 😘
Great idea to get people to do it properly
Maaaaan THANK YOU!!! You are very appreciated!! Finally an expert that knows what he is talking about. You made me feel way more confident about doing it
I followed these instructions with a 0.5mm derma roller and I didn't get any pinpoint bleeding. I wonder what I did wrong?
same, I also didn't get those pinpoint bleeding :(
Lorelei Evans bleeding is not necessary in 0.5 bcz its have tiny needle which do abrasion only on your epidermis so u won't see blood using bigger needles can be little harsh on beginners
Thank you so much. I appreciate your emphasis on safety but always helping me learn.
I promise to my self I will find you in Australia when I have enough money 😭 thank you. God gave you a special gift. God bless 😢 From Philippines
Thank you so much, Dr.
I've watched a lot of CZcamsrs who dermaroll, and some of them look really scary.
My mind is set at ease, knowing that this is a safe home treatment as long as proper precautions are followed.
I'm so happy I came across this video. I just bought a derma roller and got overwhelmed, slightly intimidated. I've been doing my research and so happy I found your video. Thanks for the safety tips. I'm more confident.
Please give me an update on your skin I just bought a derma roller and want to see if it really works.
I bought a set containing 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5mm needles. Haven't used them yet. After they arrived I read some horror stories and negative articles which really scared me. This video puts me at ease... but I know safety is key. I think the horror stories come down to the following: people are opting for deeper needles, using them way too often (my kit even says "use 2-3 times a week") and poor technique (applying too much pressure). People are doing all these things in the hope it will provide them with the amazing results they've heard about, but they're actually damaging their skin, and then further damaging it by not allowing the skin ample time to heal, which is the basis of the treatment to begin with. I will be opting for the shortest roller in my kit and leaving ample time between treatments. We are taking a risk by not having this performed by a professional - but I really appreciate this frank and informative review so that I am better equipped.
Love you doc, you are the real MVP 😭❣️
Dr. Lim, thanks so much for the very important information! So glad to see your channel growing! I found you thanks to Dr Jason Emer! Keep up the excellent work sir! Cheers!!!!!
Thanks a lot: I was so eager to hear your insight on such a topic!
welcome
Finally, someone has given me hope for my hypopigmented scars!!
I love education and the options you provided to enhance and improve skin.
I used derma roller 1month now. Its just recommend by my friends. And i tried it. With trio serum. Retinol, Vitamins C and Hydraulic. Its actually and works.
FARRAH HUSSEIN hi, how did you apply those after derma rolling? Right after the rolling and directly one by one or one product each time?
Annie Zhang i just used retinol first .. then after that the vitamins C
This is absolutely helpful! I was on the path to trouble until I saw your video. I'll use short needles for sure.
Dr. Lim, Can dermarolling interfere with fillers and Botox? Will the rolling break up the filler? I've always wondered about this. Thank you for your videos.
Yes, you can. No will not break up. My paper will be punished shortly ... Davin Lim. Brisbane SKIN dermatologist
Where or in what journal will it be published? Where can one read it?
I was wondering the exact same thing thank you so much for asking and thank you doctor for the answer
I love how Dr David Lim delivered these helpful, useful techniques and information on the dermaroller. Before watching this I didn't know much but now I feel educated quite well as a beginner to give this a go. I would rather take his advice on how to do this safely and correctly to make sure I can achieve the results I want for my skin without any damage. He is just Amazing and has such a friendly face which helps when watching the video.
Thank you so much dr Lim! I am an esthetician myself ! Thank you to your valuable time for sharing your knowledges and experiences! Your video are very simple, honest and accurate to understand! Many Thanks from USA!
You are welcome, Davin Lim
what skin vitamins and copper peptides brands do you suggest to use straight after the procedure? Where can they be purchased? Thanks
if you found the answer do share :)
New subscriber here! Your smile alone makes me love watching you.
Cheers. Davin Lim
Planning to buy derma roller for my acne scars..this made me more scared!!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you. I have had a .05 micro needling roller but haven’t really used it. Just did. Am red and a lil stingy but I have fibromyalgia so I feel that anyway. I hope it works! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for this amazing video, I have been doing it all wrong, watching inexperienced bloggers, I will now get the right size and only use once, not up to 10 times as I’ve been doing. Your such a lovely person 👍😊
This is fantastic! I just bought one... turns out ive been doing it wrong 😑.
Hence the video.. safety first. DL
Thank you for a great video. I have three questions. Can I use hyaluronic acid or retinol after derma-rolling (not together but just one of)?
And can I use chemical sunscreen after derma-rolling?
And what do you mean by “actives” in skin care?
Sorry for having so many questions and thank you so much!
Best wishes
if you figured out the answer please share
Whoa - first time I've heard of the term "single use only" for derma rollers, even from doctors. You think that is true for all derma rollers, even the really high quality surgical steel ones? Gob-smacked. Also confused now about about the number of needles; I'd heard (from what I think is a reliable source) that the rollers with a greater number of rollers - 542 is usually cited - as being more like small, individual knives rather than individual needles. Hoping you have time to comment...thanks in advance.
Yes, .. more the better, but one use- why? Because needles or even disc get blunt. That is why we have Botox drawn in many syringes not just one, because needles blunt with each 'event' DL
Ok, thank you! Live and learn eh? :)
I own a Glopro dermaroller; they run about $170 for the tool and the head, and they recommend replacing every 3 months but the needles are only .3 mil. This is the first I’ve head of replacing after a single use.
THis is a case of just believe himj,,are you credible otherwise, YES. Dt Lim, so I cannot understand why so many want to "push the envelope re risk"...guess it is just human nature.
@@latinaalma1947 he said we don't really need to buy the expensive ones, so for every 6 weeks or so it's just fine to buy new one and not bother with risck
Is anyone watching this in the UK? Davin emphasises the need for single use derma rollers but I can't see any reasonably priced single use rollers in the UK - they all seemed to be designed for multiple use and are to be sterilised between uses. I think this would be a great addition to my skincare routine but don't want to take any risks! Thanks!
I love your passion to help women to be healthy and beautiful! 😍😍😍 great useful video as always.
You’re amazing. Best tutorial ever.
HYALURONIC ACID: Can I have HA on my skin while dermarolling? What about afterwards in a moisturizer.?
did you find out the answer? please share :)
In this video he says no skin care with active ingredients (such as HA) afterwards just a simple gentle moisturizer.
I would love to do this at home I have one seating in my drawer but I'm so scare still. What kind of numbing solution is safe and off the counter if I live in the USA. And thanks so much is always so much to learn from you and Dr. Dray best Dermatologists on CZcams.❤
so good to have a professional explain proper way to get results--
Another dermatologist mentioned applying vitamin C serums afterwards can cause 'foreign body granuloma' which becomes permanent on your skin. I personally did not have a good experience with home dermarolling and resulted in a lot of scarring particularly on the jawline as you mentioned. After many years now I would like to try again to even out the scars but I wonder if some skin types are just not meant for it? Keep up the informative videos doc!
I got a derma roller from “derma roller philippines” and i was wondering why they encourage not to put too much pressure and there’s no need to bleed.. would it still be effective if it won’t bleed?
I am glad I found you . I am African American. I am 60 and have very few wrinkles. I hate my pores. They are little but numerous. I don't have any scars. Am I a candidate for dermarolling? Thank you.
Yes, stay safe. 0.5 mm max
Dr. Lim is easy on the eyes! informative too.
The question is how long do I need to repeat the session??????????
I have medium facial pores and I use Derma Roller size 2mm for the face and blood and then vitamin C 20% for the skin
There are people who say one week and some say 4 weeks so that collagen doesn't break and I don't know the period please reply it is important !!
Great video! Because of *your video* I have changed how I do my derma-rolling. Now I only use 0.5 mm around the nerve areas around my eyes and jaw and stopped using the 1.0 mm there. Thank you! 👍😊
I have been derma rolling for 7 months now and use .5 medical grade needles. I do get pin pricks with some slight pin point bleeding and really focus on keeping it all sanitized.
Monika McGillicuddy what differences have you noticed after using?
I feel my skin looks better and the products absorb better. I have recorded my progress and share it on my channel.
Thanks.. would be great to see b and as Davin Lim. Brisbane Derm
Thank you. I have recorded my process on my YT channel. :)
Monika McGillicuddy Hi Monika Are you using a disposable as Dr Lim directed? I wonder if the needles losing required sharpness is a reason for not continually reusing as much as sanitation.
I can't believe a home roller is do cheap.. I bought the one from Rodan and fields for $50. I've been doing it for a year evey other day but I thought I'd see more of a difference.
Dannie Debe if you do it too often you might damage your skin. Skin needs to recover.
@@anaana-hn7ub Ty so much. I started once a week. I hope that is ok.
Is the use of 100% aloe vera gel , oils after the treatment safe ? And I was also wondering if you would recommend this for stretch marks
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I was looking for information on how to do this at home and I feel safer having gotten my information from a professional.
Dr Lim I love your voice so much. You seem like such a nice happy doctor too.
Love my work
Cheers, thanks for viewing.

hi Dr
can i use nicacinamide and rosehip oil right after i dermaroll?
they said no actives....
No
is it safe to use led light therapy right after microneedling to help with healing?
Can I use tea tree oil as a natural antiseptic?
In theory , yes. Davin Lim
Wonderful thank you. It’s so great to find a safe and informative video on how to perform this at home.
What apply on face after dema rolling?
How in the crap is those little needles making her bleed!!!!?
Mine won't make me bleed and I use a bigger one :-(
Was you applying a little pressure?
Me too..my skin look like a sunburn after 😂..im fine with that
Hi Dr. Lim.
My skin is able to tolerate full strength *organic rosehip seed oil* . My question is after I derma-roll, can I apply the rosehip seed oil?
Also I make my own combination of carrier oils with essential oils added, using certified organic ingredients. Can I apply those also or do I have to wait a couple of days?
Thank you so much!
Essential oils are a big alarm to dermatologist they can potentially create a bad allergy reaction even after years of constant use. It happened to me. Be careful and mostly stay off fragrances even if those are super duper 100 percent certify organic.
@@angelous7774 Thank you for your comment. The rosehip seed oil I use is a carrier oil (like almond oil) and not an essential oil. Essential oils I always dilute with a carrier oil and mostly use a 1% dilution.
Rosehip seed oil is high in vitamin A and helps to build collagen, as I'm sure you are aware.
My thinking was that the ingredients in my face oils would go deeper into the skin after derma rolling. But I thought I would ask. :)
Which essential oil was harmful to you after you had used it for a long time?
Please don't put essential oils on your face as they can be a major irritant and *never ever* put them near an open wound like the ones you get from derma rolling. I'd also generally avoid anything fragrant while the skin is damaged after a procedure like this because it makes it more sensitive so you could react to something that's fine otherwise. In the case of skincare "unnatural" products can actually be healthier & safer than natural ones :)
