Be very careful with dermarollers and dermapens. This goes for hair loss, acne scarring, collagen production, whatever you use them for, at any needle length.

The ones on Amazon are all cheap Chinese junk and will likely disfigure you.

Go look on Realself and see the negative reviews with before/after photos from people who got professional dermapen treatment. Even done professionally it can cause horrible, permanent lines and enlarged pores. Some of them looked like they aged 10+ years in one treatment.

The most common China dermarollers are the 540 Titanium Needle variant and the needles aren't shaped like needles at all, more like little knives. They will tear your pores which causes permanent enlargement. Also because of their shape they don't penetrate as deep as they should. If you're dermarolling with 1.5mm on your scalp and not bleeding then that's a big red flag that you're using knives instead of needles. I don't know what these 540 needle rollers do to hair follicles/scalp but they will fuck your face up for sure.

The dermapens will always cause micro tearing no matter how slowly you move it, because there are always needles in your skin at any time. If you use it more like a stamp and press it down on each area instead of drag it you'll end up "mashing" where too many needles have punctured close together. This is apparently even worse than tearing. Goodbye to your youthful skin texture.

Tldr don't fuck around with cheap Chinese garbage on your skin or head. Not only are the official studies of 1.5mm needling for scalp wounding not using these but it could make the problem even worse by causing unnecessary inflammation or tearing follicles.

If you've used this crap on your face go look in the mirror now for any sort of fine lines that look like scraping or mini wrinkles. Or enlarged pores. If so you're basically fucked and there is little I know of that you can do about it. If you're really lucky maybe fraxel or deep chemical peels can save your skin but from what I've heard the outlook is pretty bleak.

Stop using this junk now. Either get a proper roller which is safe & can't cause tearing or get a Derminator.



No I am not a shill. I'm pissed off I've been using the cheap junk and possibly permanently damaged my skin or my scalp. 5 star 1000 reviews means JACK SHIT on Amazon it's all fake and the sellers close shop soon as negative reviews start coming in. ALL of the sellers of my previous rollers and dermapen are now gone along with the product pages. HMMM.

Anyone here fucked up their face with a dermaroller/dermapen and was able to undo the damage? List the treatments you used here please.

I'm using the cheapest dermapen I could buy online and it's all good bro, it just blocks sometimes and you have to get the needle out and put it back again
I haven't ever used a dermaroller though
plus with dermapen I don't think the "pen" is the issue but the quality of the needles... and these are standard for every dermapen I suppose so i don't know what's the problem

Yep. That's a 540 needle Titanium roller commonly sold on Amazon. Look closely at the needles they aren't needles they are like sharp triangles that will slice open your pore walls.

I've been had as well. I have two of those exact models. One 0.5mm for facial hair + minox and another 1.5mm for scalp. I bought a dermapen (highly reviewed of course) off Amazon and used it a few times on acne scars. Even moving it slowly I noticed it looked like a tiny cat clawed my skin so I went back thru my order history to look at reviews again.. Poof the product page and all the glowing reviews are gone. All of it is now in the garbage. Thankfully the scrapes have practically disappeared but man it pissed me off and has me worried the damage might surface later as I age, or under different lighting.

Throw it all out.

Not sure if you're trolling. What do you mean it blocks? It gets stuck in your skin or within the needle cartridge?

You wanna freak yourself out? Get a piece of paper, tape each side so it is suspended taughtly in the air. Run the pen along it slowly at the fastest setting. Hold it up to a light and look at the tears.. they won't be needle holes.

That's if the piece of shit can even get through the paper.

no I mean it stops moving... I have to turn it off, take the cartridge out of the dermapen and put it back so it starts moving again...

I'll do that, w8
 
Please man just stop using it. Get a proper dermaroller or stamp which can't hurt you or save up for a Derminator 2 which isn't even that much. Like $200 USD for the best shit you can get that will last a lifetime. Is saving $200 worth possibly permanently damaging your skin? If you have no skin damage from it right now count yourself very lucky and throw it out.
so I did your little experiment, it didn't go through paper
or if it did I can't see it (I have only 42 needle cartridges)

I even went through my eyelid with this shit bro srsly nothing bad ever happened
the worst that happened was redness lasting for a few hours
oh and I'm using it for hair/eyebrows/beard maxing only if that matters

Yeah it matters because you have hair covering it so you probably don't even see the damage. If you really want to use this on your face after that then go for it. It's not so bad if it's in areas covered by hair but I'm certainly not going to put that pen back on my face for my facial hair again. At some point I may not want to rock a beard and I really don't want the skin of a 60 year old to be revealed under there. The thing is junk, it can't go through paper and gets jammed. You said it yourself.

lol I know it looks bad I was thinking that as I posted it. The truth is that I already spent all morning looking into this, researching owndoc, ordering all the shit from them, inspecting damage to my skin and I wanted to get the warning out so I can get on with my day. I thought about not including links but I figured people here are high IQ enough to do their own research. If you can find another vendor selling top shelf rollers or find that owndoc has been misleading people then tell me and I'll edit OP. Otherwise I stand by my recommendation for their products over garbage Amazon $3 Alibaba crap.

Haha try to stop people from scarring themselves with $1 Chinese "Titanium" bullshit and get called a jew

Whatever. If one person listened and doesn't fuck up their face the effort will have been be worth it. We're all so fucking jaded we don't even believe people can be genuine anymore. I'm new here yes but lurked long time.

I'm done if I'm not wanted here. Certainly won't be posting any more links.

You will probably say you threw this crap away or you're not home or some other excuse cause you're a jew agent...
But maybe not, I have faith in people... prove I was wrong about you and I'm even gonna apologize ;-)

Here you go. Don't bother apologizing I would be just as skeptical. I was wrong to post links without having a rep here. New user shilling links.. Not suspicious at all, right?

Yep. Good warning. Either go with the derminator on owndoc or don't do it at all. The Chinese ones I remember people rioting about on owndoc, they even made a post warning against buying from other sites

I don't know what this proves. What am I missing? They use that photo of the skin damage on their website within their review article of different rollers which I linked in OP. So yeah they have it uploaded to their website too. Could have been emailed to them, they asked for permission, then uploaded it. Can you explain or was this a misunderstanding?

And yes the guy said "just move on to some other website, you're done here"

I am not rage quitting the site just done in this thread arguing about whether I'm a jew shill or not. No more proof will be posted I already feel ridiculous. Only doing it because it was my fault to post links to products without having rep.

I don't recommend getting anything off Amazon because they're usually all cheap Chinese fly by night vendors that sell replicas or just straight up junk.


Anything from owndoc you can trust to be good however I haven't really looked into other sellers much. You'll have to do extensive research and make sure to inspect it once it arrives to confirm it's something of quality.
And here's the man behind the post
 
Shit just ordered one of those. Is it okay if I use it on my armpit stretchmarks and not my face? Just wanna get rid of the red marks.

I don't know. Those things are $1 on Alibaba so you probably got ripped off anyway so ask for a refund if it's with Amazon. The ones on owndoc are like $15-20 but shipping can take months. They told me it will take like 2 months to my country for my order to arrive. Bummer.

So you could use it now for up to 2mo and risk some sort of additional scarring on top of stretch marks and/or a lack of efficiacy, or find another seller of good ones so you don't have to wait forever. I'm just as interested as you guys in finding another legit seller that can get me a derma roller now because 2 months is going to waste when I could be treating hair and acne scars.
 
And here's the man behind the post
I did research on owndoc and trust them. Enough to make a fatty order and wait 2 months for it to arrive and people are obviously going to ask "if you say these are all junk then who do we buy from" so yes I'm giving a recommendation. If you have any alternatives then post because I don't. Still waiting for anyone here to have an alternate supplier of high quality dermarollers.

Can you recommend boner pills?
 
I brought the dr pen and use it at the highest speed

Not sure if this is the original manufacturer or a knockoff. Either way hopefully you got it directly off Dr. Pen's website and not Amazon so there's no risk of having a replica.


Please do the paper test posted above. If it can't pierce a piece of paper or it does but causes tearing when moving it at a slow pace then it's probably junk too.

I get good results from cheap 1.5 mm dermarollers. You do need to replace after a few uses though.
