I used it tonight and forgot my gel at work so used oil for pm extract, massaged then added water, used the machine. It did feel like needle pricks. Then used hot pad for 20 minutes. I do think as with anything it will take time and can only add to my progress. As so far I'm getting good stimulation with pm and I'm only takin 40mg of extract. But it works better sublingual than caps. I know it costs a lot. I have seen them for under 200 but it could be a knock off. One other thing, you can use this on your face and body. You can penetrate anything you want into the skin. Even anti oxidants serum or collagen serum, etc. basically i get a face lift every time I use it.
So, could this help with healing scars then, tinytots? I wonder why the treatments are offered only for increasing skin permeability when it (according to what you wrote, which I assume you quoted from somewhere) also increases the natural production of collagen? I suppose if the dermaroller is offered as a treatment for that purpose more, then either 1) the dermaroller is more effective than the Time Master in regards to increasing the natural production of collagen, or 2) they are both just as effective in regards to naturally increasing collagen, but the dermaroller is less expensive. Those are the only reasons of which I can think that the dermaroller is still used for increasing natural collagen production while the Time Master seems to be used solely for increasing skin permeability. Interesting though. Will have to research them both more now! My main concern is healing my many many scars, so the increasing of skin permeability is an added bonus but I could take it or leave it. I need something that is BEST for increasing my skin's natural collagen production!
Yes timarie, the main idea about the derma roller was for collagen induction via trauma to the skin by an induced injury. I have heard it works great for scars but after a few times the skin gets very hyper sensitive. Which could lead to infection down the road. In my industry we have to be thoroughly trained on this service before we can provide the treatment. What I love about the TM is it is basically doing the Same thing without the injection. They both stimulate collagen. Products can be forced to a level in the skin we could not achieve before. Which is the cellular level where repair takes place. Which increases are top 2 proteins in the skin collagen and elastin. However you might see faster results with the derma roller since the injury will need immediate repair. I hope that all makes sense. Yes the Tm increases skin permeability but when products are able to be used at the cellular level (whatever it is you are trying to achieve, lightening the skin, acne control, oil regulating, fibroblast activity induces collagen) repair can start taking place.
Repair has to take place here before it can graduate up through the layers to the
Epidermis. I think that is why I love it. You don't have to injure the skin for repair. I can give it oxygen, nourishment, via the electrical stimulation.
