About 10 months ago i posted about trying a derma roller for acne scars.
Ice pick scars derma roller.
For the one millimeter roller move through your routine once every 10 to 14 days and for the one and a half every three to four weeks.
Discovering the derma roller.
Derma roller might not be 100 effective for ice pick scars because these scarrings are very tiny and round in nature and it is difficult for the needles to penetrate the scarring.
The most common scar type noted was a combination of ice pick boxcar and rolling scars in 26 patients 47 27 followed by combination of ice pick and boxcar scars 29 09 boxcar and rolling scars 12 73 ice pick and rolling scars 7 27 and rolling scars 3 64.
There are a few different kinds of atrophic acne scarring including rolling boxcar and ice pick scars.
The scarring i was trying to target was is atrophic scarring or rolling scars the kind where there are slight indentations in the skin over a large swath of skin.
We rounded up the best before and after dermarolling pics that show the benefits for acne scars dark marks and more.
My three go to products today are my blacksoap facewash a gentle moisturizer and lastly witch hazel.
The increase in the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated by derma roller which helps in smoothening out the wrinkles in a natural way.
Since using these very simple products my cystic acne resolved and my skin looked brighter and healthier.
Also it is best that you treat ice pick scarring with smaller needles such as 0 5mm.
As for what size needles to choose.
Skin problems such as scars can be treated by using a derma roller as it helps in stimulating the elastin and collagen present in the skin.
For shallow acne scars you ll want a derma roller with one millimeter needles and for deeper scars one and a half millimeters would be best.
So even for those deep ice pick scars if you re going to go the self treatment route stick with a dermaroller with needles less than 2mm long just to be safe.
