derma stamp on face to boost collagen

[Cleetus Cornfield]

I have a derma stamp with 0.25 - 2.5 mm adjustable needles.

Has anyone used a derma stamp on their skin before to boost collagen growth?

Is it cope or does it work?

It works. It’s not a miracle, but it will give you a very noticeable collagen boost.

I’m currently on accutane, MT2, and Derma: here’s my skin on Sun vs night light source. No filters to enhance lighting.

Nice!

What length have you found to be the best?

I personally use 1mm, and will stick to it.
The deeper the needle penetrates, the more collagen it will produce. you can go beyond that, but sometimes too much collagen production can cause skin texture unevenness

Thanks for info

You don't wanna associate a deeper penetration into the dermis with greater collagen production linearly else you'll end up stabbing your face for muh collagen...

You need to weigh up the issue of irritation to the skin, and the benefits of the treatment. The benefits of all skincare actives or treatments usually taper off in a logarithmic fashion and irritation opposingly follows an exponential curve. Consequently, there's usually a sweet medium which won't irritate your skin to hell, making your skin worse than before, and also give you similar benefits to deeper needles.

To OP, you should go to a derm and get it done professionally ideally. They will vary the depth accordingly to the right area like your cheeks or perhaps your nose, if there's super oily sebaceous filaments there, as it can handle deeper penetration and will benefit more. However, if you're gonna do it yourself, the recommended spot is 0.5mm, so definitely start there. Your benefits wouldn't be crazy different using 1mm, but your irritation would be a shit ton higher. So be cautious is all I say.

High IQ. I’d stay with my 1mm, however. it’s what worked for me without any irritation.

Partly the reason why I’m collagen mogging as well currently, but I’m sure OP can benefit more with .5mm since it’s more science based and overall lesser side effects

Everything in life is very individual tbh. The limiting factor is always irritation in skincare, and if you're not getting that irritation, then go for it. Some may find 0.5mm too irritating, even.
