Thread: What side derma roller should you use? .5 mm, 1.5 mm. 2mm?

Just a little trick for less pain...

If you roll a gentle back and forth on your entire scalp before starting your actuall wounding treatment, your scalp will numb up a little bit so that when you go at it, the pain will be less. It really almost becomes pleasant to a point.
Personally, I roll a quick back and forth motion over my entire scalp with very mild pressure before I start rolling with actuall pressure that'll get the 1.5mm Derma roller 1.5 mm deep into my scalp.

It really helps with the pain. There are times when it feels good to roll as crazy as it sounds. Even tho it's painful, it feels good.

Either way, what you should keep in mind if you're trying to promote wound healing is, peach fuzz is located 1.5mm to 2mm below the skin surface so anything less will not generate growth factors for peach fuzz follicles.
