Hi Miranda,
I notice you are in the UK like me, and I just wanted to ask who you preferred to get your rollers from - in terms of quality and service? Also, do you use the 3 line roller ? - if so, which length ?
many thanks for your help

I've bought my three rollers from three different retail sources.
My 1.5mm was from UK-based Ebay seller Starbug2006. Roller arrived in good time and no problems with it re. sharpness. Not as cheap as other ebay rollers though.
The 0.5mm is from Owndoc.com and although they charge more, I think their package is a great starter pack and their service is first class.
The 0.2mm is from Ebay Jaysun trading, wasn't hugely fast to arrive but the roller was super-cheap. |
thanks Miranda - you're a star x |

Miranda, I haven't tried the 1.5 on my face yet. I have to apply pressure to get the needles to go into my arm but it may be different on my face. Thanks for letting me know that you don't have that problem. If I have the same issue on my face, I'll just go back to my 1mm.
Antonia, I'm looking forward to reading your reviews of all the new products. I have been lusting over the Tuo Viso and the Vaculifter. I will be interested to see if you get a better result from the AALS than from the BQ. I have the Prolight Platinum.
I still haven't rolled my lips with the .25. I haven't worked up the nerve yet. Do you think it would be OK to use the infadolan? |

Tonia, I will be updating everyone on my goodies both here and on the blog. I can't wait. I'm not that concerned about my face but I am about my arms. That will be my main area of attack. The ProLight Platinum is supposed to be good. I'm just not high on Quasar. It didn't do much and then broke |

I rolled my lips with the 1 last night. I have a lot of old acne scars around my mouth which are probably not that big but which might as well be lit up in neon from my perspective. So I figured I'd go with my bigger gun (the .5 not having achieved much in the 2 mos I've been using it). I applied CPs and retin-a afterward.
Things look pretty good today; my lips are, unsurprisingly, poofy. I doubt it will last, but I can hope that something is happening behind the scenes.
This is probably too vigorous an approach for many, but I seem to have very thick skin. |

Retin A on the lips is very daring! I ran out of Matrixl last night but I feel a big order with SkinActives coming on. I want to try to replicate the LMC serum as I am VERY leery of deep penetration of parabens, Germaben, etc. particularly in the mouth area. |

Thank you 3rd Oculus. I have just emailed them. I don't have proof of purchase as my hard drive crashed last November. I seem to remember I bought it from EDS though. I wonder if they have it showing somewhere... |

Dear Has,
There are many different answers as to which roller is best but if it is of concern to you, I suggest you don't buy from Ebay but from a reputable seller such as Dr. Roller.
From your other questions (which have all been addressed previously), it is clear that you haven't read much of this thread if any and I'm afraid reading up of the facts and info is something you have to do with something as potentially dangerous as dermarolling.
I loathe it when I see the answer to people's questions as 'just read the thread' but with rolling, it's something you must do. It's a pain - I know, I spent days reading through the mammoth Dermarolling thread but it's worth it (and this one isn't too long). There will be many subjects covered here that will answer questions you haven't even thought of!
Once you've read through and if you have other questions, then there will be plenty of us happy to answer if we can. |

That is so true, Miranda (that you will find answers to questions you had never even thought of). That's one massive thread. My jawline is very taut these past couple of weeks and I don't know if it's due to the facial exercise, the dermarolling for product penetration or the loss of nine pounds (or maybe all three...)
Someone commented on it yesterday...she actually asked me if I had undergone a face lift . I think this is because I built up the cheeks once before and there is some muscle memory. That said, I am thinking of having Teosyal Deep in my cheekbones today to try to elevate the cheek further to reduce folds. I'll post about that in the appropriate thread. |

has - I got my two rollers on Ebay - cheapies. It is the site jj mentioned early in the thread. I am at my office computer and don't have the link here or I'd let you know.
The dr. roller I'm sure is the better alternative but I'm happy with the ones I have. I wasn't sure how much I'd get into the rolling and didn't want a big investment so this is working so far.
I agree - some of the sellers (rollers) on ebay are probably not what you want, so be careful which seller you go with if you decide to go cheap to start. |

Yes, I'd recommend not going with the ZTGS at this point. I hear that the needles are thicker and possibly more painful (I have this roller in a 1.0.) |

It's a close cousin of the ZGTS...I'm typing too fast. |

I don't know what the ZGTS roller is either, but it's ok, I googled it! |

Er... I was just downstairs plugging my Blackberry into the plug-bar thing when I saw a loose end sticking out from under the sofa. So (cringe) I retrieved my Baby Quasar from the kitchen, where it was just about to be dispatched to the manufacturer, and plugged this end in instead. Guess what? So, anyone want to buy a BQ in perfect working order? |

Has, this should get you started faster. Click on this link and then scroll down to the Dermaroller articles. It will take you less time to read through the articles than it will to read through the threads. You can start with them and then take your time with the threads. Best of luck!

Haha, just saw this last post. Well, what can you do? All those charger plugs look so alike. . . |

Agree! Tee Hee. I have a drawer where we stash ours and honestly I need to get a labelling system. |

My bedside cabinet drawer is like a graveyard for electrical things. Don even calls it The Graveyard as in, "Have you seen my ear plugs Don??" "Perhaps they're in The Graveyard, Sweetie." |

The inside of my bedside cabinet is like something out of Steptoe & Son. Give it a few more years and the useless gadgets will be museum-worthy. |

HaHaha - I think I'll start to use a bedside table for these gadgets. Right now, mine are in a basket (for lack of better places to put them). Need to weed thru them every so often to get rid of ones no longer needed too.
Sis - a labeling system is a good idea! (off to look for one now) |
