Dermaroller for hyperpigmentation and melasme: Is there anyone used dermaroller for hyperpigmentation or melasma?

Yes, SPF is important after a treatment with a microneedle device. Why? Because we break the skin to stimulate collagen, but if we don't apply SPF the broken skin could become hyper pigmented.

Yes i have used it, i have an indian tan complection with dark underarms, I used it for more than 6 months, The skin would sometimes peel like when you have a suntan, But skin did not get any lighter in color.

Definitely saw results after the first couple days. Within weeks my skin looked brighter and the dark spots were less obvious. Stopped using them after a while because I gets expensive. Do they work? I would say so, as long as you don't expect anything too drastic. Good luck

I tried Smartlash and it didn't work for me. I am using GrandeLash and GrandeBrow and they both work great. I thought at first the Grandebrow was breaking me out, but it turned out to be brand new hair growth.

I have never used the Remington, so can't speak of its effectiveness. As for the Tria, I think it would NOT work and would be painful to use. I am very light skinned and it worked for bikini line and most chin hairs, and got my leg hair to be very light colored, but my legs still have quite a bit of hair. It became painful to use when I had a tan. It was working on my underarm BUT I THINK IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 5 YEARS to finish the underarms, which is ridiculous.

I haven't had much success with the light hair, am experimenting with meladine at this time to see if it helps with eliminating light hair. I mainly bought the elos for light hair on my face and neck.

I'm not sure what melasma is, but I am using it in the hope that it will remove some dark spots I have on my complexion. I noticed some improvement after one use, and will be trying it again in a few days. I'm sorry I cannot tell you more at this point in time. I thought that the price is low enough so that if it doesn't do everything I want, it is not a great loss. But, based on what I have seen so far, I feel optimistic. If you'd like more info, please feel free to ask the question again in a few weeks when I will have used it more.

Obagi 3 is wonderful for dark spots and for softening changes in skin tone. It's also great for sun damaged skin. I wouldn't be without it.

So, I actually wanted to get this to lighten freckles and sunspots. That is one thing that salon-IPL does, but it's so expensive b/c I have these all over my body. The salon quoted me thousands of $$ to get one treatment. I've had Laser Hair Removal on my whole body and the light usually darkens the mole and then it scabs up and falls off after a week or so, then underneath it is many shades lighter afterwards. I'm wondering if this Remington device will do the same thing at a much lower price? Does anybody who has treated freckles or darkly pigmented areas care to share the results? Please?

I don't think so. Several things make me say this. A nurse I know who was of Hispanic background used it and said it was excruciatingly painful. I suggested using something like one of those topical analgesics for mouth pain. Anyway, I think it would be painful and completely ineffective for you. I am a pale white chick who is traveling and got some tan on my legs. It became much more painful to use it and I think the results were diminished with the tan as well (I have been traveling for about 10 months, so it's not that I didn't give it enough time...) Also, I used it on hairs on moles I have, which are darker than my normal skin tone, and those hairs, while lighter and less coarse, are still there. It really doesn't work on light hair on even light tone skin (it wasn't nearly as effective on my leg hair, which is lighter than say bikini-area hair, which it WAS effective on.) All in all, as a black person, I reaaaaaallllllllyy wouldn't spend my money on this. For white women who want to say get rid of chin hair, go for it. It was very effective on my chin hair. Man, do I sound grotesque or what?

I can tell you that I had significant discoloration (light and dark patches) on forehead and cheek area. This product blends my skin tone evenly in light and dark areas. This was recommended by my dermatologist.

I have been using my LightStim acne light since May 2012 and I am very happy with it. I am an esthetician and use it in my spa on my acne clients. I also take it home every now and then when my skin starts to act up. It works best for red, inflamed acne and hormonal / cystic. It will not doing anything for blackheads or texture.

I have been using the lightstim acne light since April 2013. There is nothing I recommend highly enough for someone with acne. I used to get light - moderate acne on my chin, and cheek area. Since using the light every morning (usually takes me 40 min to do my whole face) I have nearly perfect skin. You can use the light at night too or twice a day if desired. It's expensive but I would pay 1,000 if I needed to. I would buy the light if you have bad skin.

The instructions that come with the Dermaroller, say that it is not necessary to be aggressive, that it will not make the changes happen any faster. I have been using it for a bit over a month, and have not put excessive pressure into it. I only bleed a wee bit on my upper nose where the skin is thin over the bone, and it is only pin prick amounts of blood. I am already seeing small results, and I couldn't be happier. It is not a pleasurable experience when rolling, but seeing the results is very rewarding.

Hello. I have battled with acne my entire life and still do. My acne has been moderate but slightly more severe here recently, I'm 24. I would suggest this product but not for acne scars, the only thing I've found that works so far is bio oil. I used it every day sometimes twice a day just before bed and at the start of day. I'm not gunna lie it's greasy as hell use it fresh out of the shower and/or right after washing your face. I was impressed with the results, my skin had a slightly more youthful appearance and a significantly smoother look which u know makes a world of difference lol. Now for discoloration I use an all natural method a lil weird but a potato. Slice a thin layer off each day and rub the juice all over especially on the effected area. Google it! Potatoes have a chemical in them that stops hyper pigmentation that causes the dark marks but won't bleach your skin. Sorry this was so long but this is what works for me thanx.

I have only used it a few times, but I did see immediate results. I use it for melasma as I am out in the sun quite a bit, and it definitely gives a nice glow. I also have very sensitive skin and that has not been a problem. I would think the results would be more significant on darker spots. I found it well worth the money.

No Dermarollers on the market, have FDA approval and claims of such should be viewed with the utmost caution. Whilst they are registered with the FDA, this is an administrative process and does not mean approval has been obtained.
