Dear all,
I'm opening new topic after fruitless search for information on the subject of dermarolling new - still forming surgical scars (4-6 weeks after the surgery). I'm sure I won't be the only one to benefit from cumulative knowledge regarding this one. I'd appreciate your advice/opinion. Also, I'd like to mention that I once formed partially hypertrophic scar. Is this a red flag? So far I'm rolling around with my new 0.5 mm roller, applying tretinoin after. I just ordered 1.5mm roller to try on the scar itself. |

| I would like to know the same answer. I emailed a few derma rolling clinics in my area and 2 of them said the earliest they would derma roll scars after the their formation (mine are from removing small cysts) was 6 months, another said 1 year minimum and then interestingly another one said 6 weeks?! Very different time periods. not sure who to listen to. Any help would be much appreciated. |

| It is worth researching the basics of scarring at the cellular level. Recent scars are still 'remodelling', so I don't see any benefit in setting that process back by damaging the skin again. Better would be to ensure your body was gently encouraged to make healthy tissue and lay down the right type of collagen using topicals and good nutrition. |

Are you worried about a hypertrophic scar indicating that you would not be a good candidate for dermarolling? I recently formed one, so I researched this a little bit-- it seems a keloid scar is a bad sign (as this type of scarring goes a little crazy and moves beyond the border of the injury) whereas a hypertropic scar stays withing the original injury site. Mine formed because the injury (broken glass laceration) is on knuckle/joint-- and I believe all the movement and knocking it on things stimulated excessive collagen to be laid down.
I, too, am interested on the dermarolling time frame. I am thinking about ordering copper peptides as well to work on my scar. |
