I had my second dermaroller treatment a few week ago. It was definitely more painful than last time, but Paula was more intense with the roller this time, given that my skin is quite resilient and she did want some pin-point bleeding. The down time for this treatment was about 2 weeks, so much longer than last time. At first, I was scared that I had made a huge mistake because my skin was red and flaking so much after it, not to mention the fact that I had got it into my head that it would cause more scarring because it makes the skin bleed! Instead of stressing, I chose to just have a really good skin care regime and do some more research - whilst some skincare specialists say that the skin doesn't have to bleed, a lot say it is necessary to see any real effect.
However, 2 weeks after treatment, my skin has calmed down so much, and by continuing with my good skincare regime, I've not had any breakouts. My skin is looking fresher and more even in tone. The red scars have really started to disappear. The atrophic scars however are still quite prominent, although my mum says that my skin definitely looks smoother. I will take her word for it, as she is my biggest critic and also looks at my face every day. After the first treatment, I definitely believe that the biggest difference was seen after the microdermabrasion session, and I've just had my second one of those today. Hopefully I will see even more of a difference than I did last time. I'm happy with my results so far and I've come to realise that it's a slow process and I'm not going to see any overnight success. It can only get better though!
