Two directions only 5. Don't derma roll around eye at home 6. Pinpoint bleeding is fine 7. Rinse dermaroller in soapy water without blunting the tips and then disinfect and air dry 8.

[@noronahahaha]

This is so complicated and delicate that there’s no way I’m doing this without a doctor or dermatologist

[@salonprosperity2625]

Hi doctor V, I am a beautian and a woman of colour. The home dermallor is 0.2 ml or 0.3 ml to use safe at home. The needles are shorter and safer for users at home and you don`t have to numb your skin. Especially the needles from 1.0 ml and above are to be use in the salon by a trained esthician, not for use at home. So for people to use at home i would advice the 0.2 ml or 0.3 ml and not from 1.0 ml and above, because they are not trained to do it.

[@peterpiper5300]

how often should this be done?

[@lidisamses4498]

Many years after but they say once per week..maybe even twice but not more

[@courtnyrivers541]

This video needs to be an essential video for POC using derma rolling to treat hyperpigmentation, stretch marks and collagen production. This is well thought out, you cover the basics, the ways to do it safely, what millimeters are appropriate for what concern. Something which other videos do not! Thank you Dr. V! ❤️

Don't forget to check a dermaroller that you want to buy has genuine needles with high quality of stainless steel. Avoid any fake dermaroller with fake needles which is made with hidden "tiny triangle" metals which may cause more negative effects like deeper scars and allergy. Some people can be allergic to certain types of metals. For those who wants to try microneedling or dermarolling, it's very important to do intensive researches and homeworks. It's because it can bring more harm than good if you make a single mistake. It's better to be safe than sorry. What kinds of skins should not do it, what you need to do, what activities you should not do, what skincare products and foods to avoid after dermarolling/microneedling. Do not listen to only one "person". Explore as many as you can to learn some mistakes, successes, advices, and suggestions from users, dermatologists, estheticians, and doctors. Then, only take what are good for your personal skin. Always listen to your body/skin.

[@sialee5926]

Hi - what about stainless steel needles? I would like to try this at home. I have sensitive skin, so I’ll start off with the 0.5 mm Derma roller. I have a tiny hyper pigment patch on lower cheekbone, should I avoid this area when Micro needling? Thanks!

[@healthedgyelements3124]

Would love to know what brands you recommend for the dermaroller?

I love that you only do non-sponsored video's because I refuse to buy anything from a sponsored video. If a person likes something they will talk about it, not only when they're getting paid to rave about how much they love a product.

[@Karamoonsage]

I would love to see a video or a series of videos on keloids for skin of color. Some of the topics could include skincare for keloid scars for those of us who are not getting them medically treated?; What are the safer types of medical treatment for those who want to flatten their keloid scars other than silicone sheeting?; Is chemical exfoliation (i.e. mandelic, salicylic acid) safe for on or around the scars to keep breakouts at bay for those of us who got keloids from acne? If anyone else is interested in this topic and would like to add some other questions to the thread, please do. I would really like to see this topic covered.

[@user-iw5xr5ew3f]

Thank you Dr. V, I agree with you, I have been a victim of micro needling, it didn’t not work for me on the contrary I ended up getting hurt from it as I believe the clinician used high level needles on me causing damage and causing internal inflammation and hurt! 3 years later I have healed quite a bit. Micro needling Never again for me!

[@carpediemearth]

Dr. V, what are your thoughts on microneedling (by an esthetician not at home) on acne-prone skin while having a few bumps (without head) and/or blackheads? Or does your skin need to be completely clear of any kind of acne? And if you use acne treatment like benzoyl peroxide, how long after the produce can you start reusing it?

[@preethi7348]

[@lilbabytears]

Didnt work for me at all. I went to a nurse practitioner and she knew exactly what she was doing. This isn’t a diss on her but moreso wanting to put it out there that it doesn’t work for EVERYONE. My face ended up with even more hyperpigmentation. My face is now two shades darker than what it was and you can see where the hyperpigmentation starts and ends clearly between my old skin tone and the area that was microneedled. I will never do this treatment again in all honesty. *I’m brown skinned btw.

Is it true that hair growth increases after microneedling??? Can we use it on scalp??

[@fabiennevdk7045]

Yes you can use it on the scalp! And if you pair it with ingredients or extracts that induce the anagen phase it will help with hair growth. If it stimulates hair growth by itself I’m not sure of, but perhaps it does.

‘Skin of colour’. What an absolutely LUDICROUS term.

[@bleachedout805]

It refers to people with Melanin as that is was gives skin color that also provides protection against UV rays. Paler skin does not have Melanin due to it being a variant of albinism. People with pale skin redden in the sun as their skin is burning which later leads to leathering effect of skin. Pale skin doesn't scar easily because of lack of Melanin.

[@SolElarien]

I didn’t expect you to recommend the dermarolling, as a doctor (ENT) I have always thought that rupturing the skin barrier is a really bad idea, and there’s a risk of infection, inflammation and scarring. Dermatologist don’t recommend dermarrolling at home but procedures done at the office with a similar device, but not a roll, and with radiofrecuency if possible. I cannot agree with you in this video, sorry. Love, Sol
