So I caved in and purchased a dermaroller. Everyone seems thrilled about theirs on Youtube and other forums and that helped sway my decision. It came in the mail yesterday and so I tried it out. I used it with my own concoction of lemon, msm (dissolved) and honey. This was mainly lemon so it was a very liquidy substance. I used it on my face, neck, hands, arms and breasts!

I must say, waking up this morning my skin looks far more radiant than it did the morning before! There is truly a glow and the acne scars on my chin are far more subtle. I am SOLD on this product!

I plan on using it once a week. I got the 2.0 mm but am using little pressure. I have a high pain tolerance so I can't speak for how it would feel on others but it feels fine to me.

Just be careful with sanitizing. I got the Dermapen in December and have not been able to use it yet because I have been too busy to be able to take a minute to do research on thorough cleansing. You ESPECIALLY need thorough cleansing with the Dermaroller, because of how it is designed. And from what I've read, 2.0m, is supposed to be able to draw blood. It doesn't sound like you did (did you?), probably because you are applying very little pressure (but I thought you were supposed to apply little pressure? maybe you are applying even less than you should??). Just, please be careful with your cleansing of the dermaroller, and there are some places where 2.0mm is not recommended for use as well (I'm sure you know). But yes, the entire concept of the "derma" devices sold me too! I just hope it doesn't cause eventual death to layers of the dermis as Tinytots eluded to. That is unfortunately always in the back of my mind. Otherwise I would be planning on using it like crazy

The following is for other readers:
What people need to know is that it is not something to whip out and use, that there are specific ways to clean it, and specific ways to use it as well. Especially the Dermaroller, as it punctures the skin at an angle, people need to know how to roll it correctly. Please do your research, people, before using such a device! It can do good things for your skin if and only if you use it safely and correctly. It is a medical device, so treat it as so!

Before and after use I will always run it over scalding water for a minute and then soak it in rubbing alcohol for around 5 minutes. Completely sanitizing your face or wherever you plan on using it is equally important.

I drew no blood, but my skin definitely got red.
