If you read through my posts you will see I wrote that I had the procedure done by a well respected plastic surgeon in NYC and he used a 3mm roller. The brand used from the medical roll cit made by Des Fernandes (the creator of the roll cit in the first place.) I paid $5,700.00 to have the procedure done. So as you can see, I went to one of the best qualified people to perform rolling. I went to a doctor to have the safest conditions possible, under the care of a plastic surgeon who was trained by Des Fernandes. The protocol of needle length and serums used afterwards is all set up by Des Fernandes. I trusted the doctor and his assistants when they said this would improve my skin. I have never rolled on myself and would never use anything cheap on my face. I am not misleading anyone. This is my true experience with a device that is being advertised as a good thing for skin, whereas in my case in changed my skin in a bad way. I would never recommend anyone do this procedure. Unless its on the body and you have very loose skin. The skin on the face is too thin. There is a reason why this procedure is not that popular…there is not enough long term evidence showing improvement. As someone who has gone thru this procedure, this is my opinion based on my experience.

Im so relieved but also disappointed to find that I’m not the only one thats had problems with this device.

I was using a 1.5m roller on my face about 4 months ago but stoped using it after a few sessions as I found that it made things worse and left thousands of tiny holes all over my face… including larger indented scars.. Its been 4 months now and there has been no sign of them filling in. I’ve always looked after my skin, it was smooth and fine but after suffering from a large thick hyperpigmentation line down my cheek I read that this was the best thing to try to reform new skin. Instead I now not only have bad hyperpigmentation but holes all over my face. I’ve read similar heartbreaking stories online that these holes have scared and never go away… yet on this website it says that it can take up to a year for scars to fill in? Has anyone here got any other helpful information on whether this may actually happen? Im feeling pretty doubtful. Is it too late for me to try a different diet or start using Copper Peptide serum? Iv heard it really helps.

I’d love some feedback 1st time posting on a forum

The good thing is the needle length you’re using is very short and shouldn’t do any permanent damage. Basically needling tightens your skin. The wrinkles do smooth out because your skin is tighter. The length of your skin is shorter. That’s good right? BUT your skin thickens as well. While this may sound like a good thing, in the long term thicker skin wrinkles deeper. So the thick lines you see is probably swelling and will eventually be thicker skin. I think needling would work great on the body, like the legs, thighs or buttocks area because that skin is thick and tightening would be great in those area for many people. But the facial skin is so delicate and thin…If you have individual scars you may benefit from needling just those. They can thicken and tighten and maybe look smoother next to your non scarred skin. If you just have fine lines or wrinkles how about a good peptide cream? I don’t think you could have permanently damaged your skin. The surgery I had was invasive because the needling length was so much longer than what you used. I hope your skin is all healed up and back to normal by now
