| Does anyone use a handheld face roller ? How do you find it and when and how do you use it ? I have used one on and off for years and I am sure it boosts circulation and helps product absorbtion, saw mine looking at me in my basket full of stuff a couple of nights ago and thought mmmm, haven't used that since the summer, went and washed it and used it. |

Interesting!
What brand is it? Where can we get one? What results have you seen?
I have a huge 13-function professional skin machine that looks like it belongs in a dentist's office, and it has a metal roller thing called "galvanic," I think. I'm kind of scared to use it, because the instructions are translated into English and I can't really understand the finer points.
Usually I use my Dermawand to help with product absorption--that gizmo is awesome! |

| I know l'Occitane sells one (I have it)... it's not expensive, just a plain wooden thing with a plastic roller on it. |

The product range is called touch...I got it in Boots a couple of years ago...the company is called selbybrucemarketing according to the packet...this is a link to a picture of their products, its the small roller at the top, I have it in a pink colour tho, I have the foot roller the larger one on the bottom....

I use it after I have put all my products on at night especially if I am using a balm I roll it over my face until it is quite pink then massage more with my finger tips and I find the products go in more.... |

I have a feeling I've seen jade versions of this on ebay and wondered what the benefits were.
Jade would be lovely to use in the hot weather, I imagine.
Interesting.
I also use derma wand and am a fan of it. |

| Hi, I tried a dermaroller a few years ago, (believe it is the same thing). I found it too irritating, and it bothered me using these fine needles on my face.(too freaky, lol!) |

| I think there are 2 different treatments, 1 roller is for the dr and one is for inhome use,they are both really expensive however they make a convincing argument that what good is it to buy expensive products if they cant penetrate the skin? You can email them to have a rep call you..... |

I'm looking at the website for the dermaroller, and their before and after pics are - of course - pretty impressive.
So I'm wondering if - aside from the freakines of it- did it appear to do the job it says it will, for you, lipglossdoll? |

I don't know if we looked at the same before / after pictures. I bought dermaroller in March because of those pictures but later on I realized it's after "professional" treatment picture not after "home use" picture. |

Ah. I see. It says "Before and after photos using medical rollers just under the description of the different models.
They dont appear to have different photos for the different models of roller - so I guess ultimately the photos arent helpful at all, for a home user.
Thanks for being observant, MACrisis. |

| I have one, but I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I bought it for face massage to make it smaller... You can find it in Japan or some websites selling japanese brands. |

Any more feedback on the dermaroller?
I have a jade roller I bought on Ebay. The jade stays cool and is refreshing to use on the face. It is also supposed to promote circulation / acupressure. I keep it near the couch and use it while watching TV. |

Are we all talking about the same kind of roller? I've started using a Novaderm roller- it has 0.75mm needles that penetrate the outermost layer of skin to increase product penetration. To promote collagen, I think you need deeper penetration, such as professional CIT(collagen induction therapy). Dermaroller makes products for this, but doesn't sell them to the public. Through ebay,ca I was able to order a roller with needles 1.5 mm in length, from a seller in thailand. It probably won't arrive for weeks, and when it does, I'm guessing I'll need to apply a topical anesthetic, as well as prepping my skin with betadine( to prevent infection). But I'm a crazy woman, so I'll give it a go.

| I have a jade roller aswell. The one I bought comes in two sizes, a larger for use on most of the face and smaller for use around your eyes and mouth. I can't say that I've been consistant with my use of it so I can't really say it's made a huge difference to my skin but it's a cooling sensation and I can imagine with continual use it would help the circulation and reduce puffiness though not dramatically. |
