I tried dermarolling my ACNE SCARS! | Demo + Review

#dermarolling #ginamber #acnescars
ATTENTION! Please make sure you are disinfecting your dermarollers with 70% isopropyl alcohol and do a PATCH TEST first in case your skin has a bad reaction!!
*************************************************************************************************
For anyone concerned about the application of alcohol to the face:
I have looked into the possibly of over-drying your skin with alcohol but have found nothing relating to it.
I'm only wiping my skin with alcohol whenever I do microneedling treatments which isn't everyday, plus I use a super hydrating sheet mask afterwards so I personally have yet to experience any particular excess drying of my skin caused to my (infrequent) use of alcohol on my face.
*************************************************************************************************

Here, I test how well a 0.5 millimeter-sized needle dermaroller will perform on my deep acne scars. I use specific lighting to get the best view on the indentations so you can get the best before and after shots.
I understand this size isn't meant to erase scars but I really wanted to see for myself if it makes any change at all. And now that I'm done testing it, I plan on moving up to the 0.75mm next.

Microneedling with Vitamin C:

Art by me

[figuras]

Microneedling really works. My face was covered in scars (acne, chickenpox, and corrective surgeries). I had scars on top of scars. I had three surgical dermabrasions, countless ablative and non-ablative laser sessions, chemical peels, and other less aggressive treatments. I even had two partial facelifts when I was 24 and 26 years old because the plastic surgeon thought that the surgery would help make the scars less visible. The only treatment that actually made a difference was microneedling. Most of the scars are now gone and the existing ones are more shallow and less visible. I've been having one microneedling treatment every four weeks for two years. To this day it's hard for me to talk about my skin. I am sharing this hoping that it will be helpful to anyone who has been struggling with facial scars because I know how they can affect our lives.

I am a boy and I don't know how I came here but I have to say that you are really brave and a trustworthy person. there are lot of other videos but they all have clear skin already (no real before/after) It takes a lot of guts to show this where one knows that the whole world will be watching you on youtube. hate the society beauty standards and definitions. love the curls

[crazyDIYguy]

It's the most painful humiliating thing to look at your own acne scars with a flashlight let alone on camera in front of millions. I know your pain and REALLY ADMIRE your bravery. 💯🙏 you've inspired me to try this and stick to it.

Also with microneedling (dermarolling), it can take months for your body to build up new collagen to fill in the scarring. Patience is key. Don't overdue it. Skin needs time to heal and rejuvenate. And I DID see a difference in your before and after. 👍🏼

[drowningincats]

I totally see a BIG difference! It really does look improved, although I can understand how that might be hard for the person to see since they look at themselves everyday. It makes it harder to notice the changes, but they’re definitely there!

[bbbingbongsss]

the fact that her skin looks gorgeous and dewy no matter the before and after ✊🏻😔 she be glowing

[ZenonKiba]

I’ve finished the video because it’s so real, unlike any other youtubers with perfect skins that shows similar before and post processed after. Yours have an authentic feeling and so honest. And the results is massive improvement but there’s still left scars and thank you for showing the real results and not faking it.

[wildwolf]

I can see a HUGE difference! Your scarring looks smoother and less noticeable. I love that you are real, with real skin issues. I hated seeing your disappointment. I know it's difficult living with acne scars. Our society, we expect immediate results and that isn't always realistic. That kinda damage takes time and extra patience. I really want to try this for my acne scars and deep forehead wrinkles. Oh, and you are beautiful before and after. 🥰

[sotosmatthew]

I didn’t search for this but watched the whole video 😂

[tejaswinipatil]

it makes me cry how we ladies and men have to go through so much just to get the clear skin because are society have some high beauty standards.

[deanelyons]

Made me sad to see how deflated you were doing the after-shot. But when you did the side by side comparison, you could DEFINITELY see a marked difference! Rome was not built in a day and if you got that result only after 6-8 weeks then that can only be a good thing. Thanks.

[sivanithapa]

I like this kind of review where they actually try it and not just explaining it 👍

[TheOnlyKeiKei]

I LOVE how you did the side by side comparison. Repairing acne scars is a process and something that I have struggled with all my life. Thank you for doing the overhead light and really showing candid results. YOUR SKIN DEFINITELY LOOKS BETTER! Good for you, girl! You’ve given me hope to continue on my skincare journey as well. Keep going and thank you for including us in the process!

In microbiology, I learned that 70% isopropyl alcohol is the most effective for disinfecting. Any percentage above or below that won't kill everything.

[bottlewaddle]

Its refreshing to see not only a really good account of success, but a very fair and transparent review. Other people should take notice :)

[DipityS]

I definitely do see a difference - in the side by side it's very obvious improvement! Thank you allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing us the process so we can see what might be fair to expect 😊

[jennyrose]

I'm sorry for anyone with terrible acne. It's hard and people judge.
I had some bouts of cystic acne but I never scarred at all( thank God).

[greedy]

I really appreciate how you are so open about your acne struggle and your scars, i have struggled with acne too and this video make me feel better about myself.

[lesliemcmillan]

I'm a nurse and I'm SO happy to see you using the alcohol to kill germs on the roller and your skin! This is such a great video!❤

[rachelcagwin]

Your skin does definitely looks wayyyy better than when you started so I’m glad it worked for ya! I know scars can be super upsetting after all that hard work of trying to clear up acne and then you get scars that just remind you of what happened. Keep it up girl! You’re doing great!
