SKIN CARE TIPS- DIY Derma roller
Dermarolling or skin needling is a form of microneedling. This can be classed as generation one microneedling and is over 2 decades old. This entry level treatment is still effective for minor corrections of skin texture. Dermarolling can be used to teat very early and mild forms of acne scarring and chicken pox scars. Mild acne scar types that can respond to microneedling include shallow box car scars, mild atrophic acne scars, and rolling acne scars. It should not be used to treat red or brown acne scars. This treatment can also reduce skin pore sizing, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. The safest dermarolling or skin needle length ranges from 0.25 to 0.5 mm. Longer skin needles can cause paradoxical skin scars, and even traumatize nerves and blood vessels. Needling can be performed using a variety of devices including Dermarollers, Dermapen, CIT or Collagen Induction Therapy devices, and many variations of skin rollers. The brand does not matter, however the more needles the better- I recommend skin rollers with more than 240 needles, titanium tip, single use only. They can be found on ebay for $5 to $10. This video is designed to save you money and perform this procedure safely at home.
The fundamental difference between skin needling or dermarollers and laser, is that light energy is not used in microneedling and no heat is generated.
Microneedling -skin needling can be divided into two main types- energy microneedling and non-energy based microneedling. Examples of energy based microneedling devices include Infini, Profound, ePrime, Venus Viva, Vivace, Intracel, Intensif and Secret. These provide micro columns of injury in the deep layer of the skin, as well as controlled heating via a process called RF or radiofrequency. I only perform fourth generation skin needling using insulated energy based RF devices like INFINI micro-needling as well as third generation devices like Instensif.
Here is my suggestion for how to perform safe dermarolling or skin needling at home.
1. Photos are vitally important to assess your progress and to see if this treatment is suitable for you. Take high resolution of your acne scars or skin condition under direct and indirect lighting. Photos are vital to gauge progress.
2. Buy a dermaroller as a cheap alternative to a medical grade microneedling device. Choose a 0.25 - 0.5 256 needle dermaroller. Don’t go deeper than this for home use!
3. Use a medical grade disinfectant like Chlorhexidine. Avoid microneedling to active zits, pimples, acne or acne cysts as they may contain contaminated pus with bacteria.
4. Apply the numbing cream for one hour before the procedure.
5. Wipe off numbing cream and re-wipe with the disinfectant.
6. Have someone in sterile gloves provide counter traction and roll your acne scars. Expect to bleed as scars lie in your dermis. Roll 3-6 times with firm pressure. Change direction, ie. Rotate 90 degrees, then roll another 3-6 times. Apply firm pressure for 2-3 minutes to stop the bleeding.
7. Apply a emollient such as QV intensive or a bland moisturizer.
8. Start using active creams 2-4 days after the procedure. More experienced users can infuse skin vitamins and copper peptides straight after skin needling.
9. Repeat the process 3- 6 weeks later, intervals will depend on your needle depth, the number of passes, pressure, and your healing time.
10. Retake photos, compare after 5 sessions.
Remember - home microneedling is just a gentle treatment for mild skin concerns. Moderate to severe acne scars, wrinkles and pores will not respond to this simple DIY treatment. This is where fourth generation RF devices and lasers can be helpful. I hope you find these skin care tips, skin care routines and skin product reviews helpful.

Finally a dermatologist not telling us to not do it at home. All those other dermatologist just want us to give them our money instead of teaching us how to do it. Thank you
and he also said the technique is the same, I almost paid $100 for a derma roller.
I could do a visit just for his honesty here. I can trust him.
Rachel Mao hi Rachel
@@eddiew2325 dude wtf...
That's not how things work. I am a dermatologist, and I can assure you that there are no clear guidelines yet regarding the safety of dermarolling at home, and thus doctors will be providing subjective advice from their own experience. Dermarolling absolutely carries its own risks, and so some doctors will prefer to stay on the safe side and advise you to get the procedure done in-office, while others may feel it's relatively safe to do at home. We absolutely see disastrous outcomes of DIY dermarolling in practice. It is a matter of opinion, nobody is either right nor wrong here.
The long awaited derma roller- micro needling video. This is a SAFE DIY method for at home use. Cheers, Dr Davin Lim
Dr Davin Lim i want to have one too.. im beginner still learning... hope we keep in touch thank you
Yay.....bravo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dr Davin Lim
How do I contact you?
cheers.

I did the opposite. Ive been spending $1000's on 4th-5th gen equiptment and only just bought a 0.25 derma roller last week. The effects of DIY have surpassed all my experience at the beauty salon. I had nasolabial folds that no equipment helped much. I started dermarolling, with a diy high dose marine collagen drink twice a day with high dose vit C. The results were dramatic in 1 session.
This is awesome to hear as I’ve been looking into Morpheus8 treatments, but was wondering just how much more effective they really are.
How much marine collagen and vitamin C were you taking? Thanks
@@jessicafb5398 2 heaped (plastic spoonfuls that come in the pack) with Q10 in my boiling cup of coffee in the morning. 2000mg of effervescent Vit C mixed in with my preworkout gym drink during my gym session. And another 2 heaped spoonfuls of Q10 collagen mixed in with my hot coco before bedtime. It may be ovekill, but the results are a lot quicker than using sparingly.
@@neoncorolla6917
I have mix of ice pick, round, box like scars on my face. I purchased dermastamp for microneedling. What should be used:
1. before stamping to clean dermaroller/dermastamp and face?
2. same day on face after stamping/microneedling session?
3. next day onwards after the stamping/microneedling session?
4. Can we use Retinol/Tretinoin, Vit c, Hyaluronic acid, Glycolic acid, icing, collagen supplement etc. next day onwards after dermarolling/microneedling?
Please recommend generic products instead of something that I can get only with a certain brand.
You can suggest the brand along with the generic product.
Thanks in advance (:
I ordered a 1.5 earlier this evening and got the creeps after watching this video so I returned and ordered a 0.5 PHEW!!! Thank you for this no messing guide.
Lol
1.5 is good for stretch marks but not on face
@@solarambala Yes it is! 1.5 and 2m are used on the face all the time! U can use these longer length for the fatty areas like cheeks and nose! For pores, you really need 1.5 m or you won't get pore tightening!
Hello Dr,
I am using 0.5mm , but the blood points are not appearing. Should I increase the size of the needle?
@@leanture3685 they work in the beginning, but after a while you will damage the natural collagen regeneration of your skin. Older people can use it though because their skin doesn't produce collagen anymore.
I’m glad you talked about safety throughout this video. Many times a person wants results now and do too much too fast. Then the skin is damaged. This is a great video. Thank you.
Fee, thanks for the view yet again. Cheers, Davin
Thank you Dr Lim. I know It is three years since this video, however you were the best I have watched. Most genuine and informative. No bias being an Australian myself.
Love that you care for budgets, safety, achievable result.
Good bless you
Fabulous, clinical, professional approach! Thank you for your efforts.
I really like how you smile while explaining, kinda cheers me up ^^
thx :)
That’s because he’s also very handsome!
How long with no make up after rolling ?
Lol get friends
t g jokes on u I don’t have friends
Oh I’m so glad I found this!! I couldn’t find a instructional video anywhere by an actual DOCTOR so thank you for this!! 🙏😊
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!!! I feel so much better knowing how to perform this procedure safely. I’d really appreciate it if you made a video on microneedling on the body. I’ve heard it can be helpful with stretch marks, but it isn’t something I’d try on my own without first knowing how to do it safely. Cheers and thanks again for all the amazing content!!
Thank you doctor! You seem like a really honest and nice person. Your advice is very helpful.
Very informative!
Thank you for taking the time to teach us the correct way and the most safe ways to do At Home Needling / Dermarolling!
So grateful that I have you to rely on for the most informative, reliable and safe ways to take care of my skin.
You're the best!

Thankyou for not only the video, but the detailed instructions..you’re the best Dr Lim!
Thank you so much. I appreciate your emphasis on safety but always helping me learn.
Love you doc, you are the real MVP 😭❣️
Thanks for understanding that not everyone can afford to go to a dermatologist, and not scare us that it is not safe to do at home, you are a hero! many dermatologist here on youtube are not like you.
Maaaaan THANK YOU!!! You are very appreciated!! Finally an expert that knows what he is talking about. You made me feel way more confident about doing it
Awesome work Doctor, very thorough video!
Thank you so much David! I’ve been researching dermarolling so much but just ended up feeling overwhelmed and confused. Your video is so straightforward. This clears so much up for me! :)
no problems
Dr Lim, you always share great advices for skin care! I'm so glad I found your channel and share it with friends and family! Thank you for spending your valuable time educating people to avoid mistakes than can ruin the skin. Thanks and greetings from Chile and USA. :-)
No problem, thanks for viewing, appreciated. DL

Thanks doc 👍
Thank you, I was considering going deeper but I won't risk it. Love your channel and have learnt so much.
Thanks a lot: I was so eager to hear your insight on such a topic!
welcome
You’re amazing. Best tutorial ever.
I love education and the options you provided to enhance and improve skin.
I love how Dr David Lim delivered these helpful, useful techniques and information on the dermaroller. Before watching this I didn't know much but now I feel educated quite well as a beginner to give this a go. I would rather take his advice on how to do this safely and correctly to make sure I can achieve the results I want for my skin without any damage. He is just Amazing and has such a friendly face which helps when watching the video.
Dr. Lim, thanks so much for the very important information! So glad to see your channel growing! I found you thanks to Dr Jason Emer! Keep up the excellent work sir! Cheers!!!!!
I canot believe i found you doing this for a good purpose just for free! Thank you!!!!
Wonderful thank you. It’s so great to find a safe and informative video on how to perform this at home.
Thank you so much for this amazing video, I have been doing it all wrong, watching inexperienced bloggers, I will now get the right size and only use once, not up to 10 times as I’ve been doing. Your such a lovely person 👍😊
Love how oyu go into detail on new and old tech in the same field.
This was perfect timing! I just got one of these that I had ordered and was going to rewatch another channel about how to use it, but I trust your advice far more. Thank you!
Jill Seiffertt , what do you use for numbing? His products aren't the same as USA named products. TY
If 0..25 or 0.5 little numbing needed. Alternative ... few shots of gold old fashioned Tennessee Whiskey. :)
Dr Davin Lim , I don't drink 😁
Dr Davin Lim 😂😂😂😂
Jill, plzz how much did you get the dermaroller and where can I get it from,, plzz suggest thankz in advanced
Im about to start my dermatology residency and im watching your videos so inspirational!
Thank you so much! This is the best information I received for at home dermarolling
Thanks for an absolutely straight talk tutorial. I'm a fan of ur style and informative videos. Would be interested in a video on micro-needling the scalp for hair health.
Way down the track.. Im more into energy devices, hence this was the first stepping stone for me 2 decades ago... cheers, DL Brisbane Skin specialist.
How does this help hyperpigmentation?
You are the best.
LOL, thanks for the complements. DL
Great tips and so informative !So glad I found your chanel Dr. Love...love your smile😊
I love Dr davin Lim because of his honesty and after seeing thumbnail in which a doctor not saying to not to use at home is just an other level of happiness.i love you Dr davin Lim❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i'm going go try dermarolling soon and this will be my ultimate guide. thanks, doc! super helpful🙏🏻
Did you use mam ??
WOW!!! This was very interesting and very informative!!! I never knew how easy this can be and also how dangerous this can be if you don’t use the right size Dermaroller and also which areas to avoid and why and which products to use before and after the procedure... I want to really thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and all of these tips and procedures with us!!!! These medical procedures and information is just really very interesting to me... 😃❤️
Mam Did you use ??
I bought everything you need 3 years ago, watched tons of educational videos on how and what to use with this Derma Roller. Only I never opened it. I definitely need to start using it now! I have smooth skin, but very Dry, wrinkles in places, a few deep dark brown spots. Should I go have those scrapped off at the Dr.? I'm 64. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this Dr. Lim! I appreciate it more than I can say.
Just came across your TH-cam channel . Thank you so much for sharing important information . So far the best videos on skin care and explaining all the new technologies and techniques. :)
Thank you so much, Dr.
I've watched a lot of TH-camrs who dermaroll, and some of them look really scary.
My mind is set at ease, knowing that this is a safe home treatment as long as proper precautions are followed.
Whoa. I’ve been WAY overdoing it with the amount of strokes I’m doing all over my face. I’m only using a 0.3mm roller so hopefully I haven’t done any damage. I always apply Hyaluronic Acid pre-rolling and Vit C post rolling. I’m definitely going to limit the use of my roller and change my rolling strokes to exactly what you showed. Thank you so much for caring about our skin!! You are the best Dr. Lim!!
Is it working? Hello?
Did it work? What brand vitamin C?
You're amazing! thanks so much for sharing this and all your other tips
Thank you. I am glad I saw your tutorial before using it 🙏🏼. Best tutorial ever!
New subscriber here! Your smile alone makes me love watching you.
Cheers. Davin Lim
Thanks for stoping me from buying the 1.5 and 2. size roller needle. Keeping it at .5 safe and conservative.
same here.
@Faraz Tariq NOT RIGHT AWAY. THE NATURAL WAY OUR BODIES RESPOND TO ANY TREATMENT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OUR BODIES TAKES TIME- ANYTIME FROM 1 MONTH TO 6MOS. EVERYONE REACTS DIFFERENT. ✌💚
Nashville Tennessee I read a study that concluded that anything over.5mm did not cause an exponential increase in collagen production
Have you seen any differences?
Did it work
I love your passion to help women to be healthy and beautiful! 😍😍😍 great useful video as always.
Love the way you explained doc! Good information and tips
Brilliant advice, Doctor! Could you please do a video on using actives after derma rolling as well. Which ones, how long should you wait before applying them? Which actives to avoid after skin needling, etc? Also, how to clean the derma roller after use?
These were all answered in the video.
You’re a very good doctor! Thank you for your time showing the right way to do it. I know I won’t be doing that tho’
Thank you Davin Lim, Brisbane Skin Specialist.
Thank you so much dr Lim! I am an esthetician myself ! Thank you to your valuable time for sharing your knowledges and experiences! Your video are very simple, honest and accurate to understand! Many Thanks from USA!
You are welcome, Davin Lim
Very nice video and I appreciate your time in posting it mate thanks
Dr I love this video, thank you for letting people know that the brand or price of the darn thing doesn't matter but more the technique. Everytime I see a video where someone is trying to sell her roller as if it was made of gold I paste the link to this video I just thought I'd let you know 😘
Great idea to get people to do it properly
My Doctor has used derma pen on my hand for my scar I still remember and it is really very effective.
Thank u for demo! I'm glad I watched u first! I feel more confident now.. thanks 😊
Bless you for sharing all the vast knowledge u have .
Would be great to see “before” and “after “ photos.
Hello, Dr. Lim! I really appreciate this comprehensive video on dermarolling at home! There are some aestheticians and dermatologists who do not recommend using Vitamin C after dermarolling because there have been cases of granuloma resulting from it. I would love to know what you can say about this! Thank you very much!
Hello,Dr.Lim! If I have wrinkles it is the same method?
Doctor...you're amazing as always...thank you for this advices and informations.this really helps.i always love to watch your videos...as biology students it's really help me for increase my knowledge and use it for myself.thank you so much doctor.
Great video! Because of *your video* I have changed how I do my derma-rolling. Now I only use 0.5 mm around the nerve areas around my eyes and jaw and stopped using the 1.0 mm there. Thank you! 👍😊
This is absolutely helpful! I was on the path to trouble until I saw your video. I'll use short needles for sure.
I used .25 with no bleeding so after the 3rd time I used a .5 needle and hardly bleed 🤷🏻♀️ but I saw such wonderful results already ☺️
Looking at my Christmas present dermaroller being one of them Sooo glad to have found your channel I was going to use it every day!
Dr. Lim is easy on the eyes! informative too.
I would love to do this at home I have one seating in my drawer but I'm so scare still. What kind of numbing solution is safe and off the counter if I live in the USA. And thanks so much is always so much to learn from you and Dr. Dray best Dermatologists on TH-cam.❤
Thanks lot for this video! Simple and best one on TH-cam!
Hi Doc, my first time watching you video. You deserve a millions of subscribers!!!
I’ve been doing the micro needling at home for 10 years now. So far no issue. I used topical anesthesia. My face is smooth, no wrinkles. I skipped botox.
What needle length and how often? And what after cream 🤷♀️ thanks 😊
@@Vicky-ne5ev 0.5 for deep wrinkle. I use hyaluronic cream or niacinamide
I ordered 1.00mm and I'm not really sure how to use it. After watching this video I was amaze! I didn't know that you actually need to deep it through your skin and have a little blood on it. But thanks, Doc! I learned something from this video and now I'm torned weather I should be doing this on my own. 🤷♀️
Thank you for helping us understand the process better !!❤
Thank you for warning us about safety! Appeciate.
Oh.. that's generation 1...🤣 it's a new discovery to me tho
Me too! Its all new to me! It can be so overwhelming! Glad I watched thus video! 😊
It's only recently been available to for public sale for a few years
I love using my dermapen once every 6 weeks or so, the results speak for themselves, obviously not as good as going to a clinic but still worth it, good vid Doc
cheers sam
Hello how can you please teach me the process of how you use the dermapen for yourself and which products do you use? im kinda new to this and am very interested in trying this at home to solve some skin problems. thank you very much!
Hello Samantha. Which products do you apply before and after?
Thank you Dr. for knowledge and safety tips.
You are amazing!!! Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you so much! I go every 3 months to get a retinol chemical peel. I did one treatment of microneedling. The price was $150.00 half off at the time. I went to dermatologist last week and asked about another treatment. The cost is $250.00. I was going to do it but will try this first. I purchased a package deal at Christmas for Botox and 2 retinol peels for $450. Last week I got retinol peel and botox. It cost me $400. They were running special $10.00 per unit. I felt like I paid a bit too much because I prepaid at Christmas for the retinol peel. I love doing the retinol peels and the results I get from doing them. Love your youtube channel. Will you do a video on retinol chemical peel please. 😊
Sunshine Mitchell Are you in Sydney and if so can you recommend someone as good as Dr Lim? I just paid $10 per unit for Botox
I have been derma rolling for 7 months now and use .5 medical grade needles. I do get pin pricks with some slight pin point bleeding and really focus on keeping it all sanitized.
Monika McGillicuddy what differences have you noticed after using?
I feel my skin looks better and the products absorb better. I have recorded my progress and share it on my channel.
Thanks.. would be great to see b and as Davin Lim. Brisbane Derm
Thank you. I have recorded my process on my YT channel. :)
Monika McGillicuddy Hi Monika Are you using a disposable as Dr Lim directed? I wonder if the needles losing required sharpness is a reason for not continually reusing as much as sanitation.
You're one of my favorite dermatologists, I love you and your videos! , Awaiting for DIY for salicylic acid peeling.
Thank you for the demo and teaching us what we can do at home to improve our skin
I promise to my self I will find you in Australia when I have enough money 😭 thank you. God gave you a special gift. God bless 😢 From Philippines
Dr. Lim, Can dermarolling interfere with fillers and Botox? Will the rolling break up the filler? I've always wondered about this. Thank you for your videos.
Yes, you can. No will not break up. My paper will be punished shortly ... Davin Lim. Brisbane SKIN dermatologist
Where or in what journal will it be published? Where can one read it?
I was wondering the exact same thing thank you so much for asking and thank you doctor for the answer
so good to have a professional explain proper way to get results--
Thank you Dr. Lim, you have a new subscriber.
This is fantastic! I just bought one... turns out ive been doing it wrong 😑.
Hence the video.. safety first. DL
Eeep! I just used a 0.5 derma roller and I didn't bleed at all! Maybe it was because I didn't hold my skin taught when I was doing it.
That was awesome! Thank you!!
Safety first 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so happy I came across this video. I just bought a derma roller and got overwhelmed, slightly intimidated. I've been doing my research and so happy I found your video. Thanks for the safety tips. I'm more confident.
Please give me an update on your skin I just bought a derma roller and want to see if it really works.
is it safe to use led light therapy right after microneedling to help with healing?
How do I know what serums/peptides/etc. are safe to use right after needling? I'm a young adult and would like to add this process to my routine, but am still educating myself on it all. I really enjoyed the clarity of your video! You explained things very well and I understood them without having to pause and google :) Thank You Dr. Lim!
There are some studies showing use of active after can cause a negative immune system response check out dr dray’s video on dermarolling I only use hyaluronic acid after and a moisturizer then after 1 day I will use vitamin c etc after the initial wound has closed
@@user-cv4bl3oz5n hi... which one works for you. You said you use it right after the moisturizer?
@@user-cv4bl3oz5n
How long after applying the hyaluronic acid should I wait before using the moisturizer?
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. I was looking for information on how to do this at home and I feel safer having gotten my information from a professional.
OMG,THANKS DOC to informed us about the sizes of needle to be use. It's very helpful. God bless you.
what skin vitamins and copper peptides brands do you suggest to use straight after the procedure? Where can they be purchased? Thanks
if you found the answer do share :)
