Anyone had any non- surgical skin treatments?

Hello, I've hated my skin all my life after picking my chicken pox as a youngster which has left small scars on my forehead. I also have large pored around my T-Zone, few spots on chin and uneven skin tone due to sunbed worship.

I decided to get Dermaroller treatment which is where the face is numbed with cream and then pressure applied with a rather scary looking device. See below

I just had my second (out of 3) and found it a lot less painful than the first time, also not as red. However its still staying indoors all day due to looking a bit burnt!


Its after the final one that the skin will show the results. The skin is basically broken, damaged and repairs itself. Its often used for deep acne scars and stretch marks so I'm hoping to have good results.

Interested to see if anyone else has had this or any other kind of non surgical treatments!

    It does look very painful.
    But im sure the results will be great at the end..

    Do you know if you can have this done to another place on your body?
    Does it just get rid of wholes, and bumps.
    OR does it get rid of BIG scars too? Or maybe even stretch marks??

    Wow this is awesome, I didn't know this existed!

    When I was in high school I suffered from severe acne (worst time ever) so I took medicine to treat it (Accutane) and 6 years later I just have these scars all over my face and I've been wondering what types of treatments there were to get rid of these scars.

    Thank you so much for the insight!

    It can be used anywhere on the body, for scars and stretch marks and depending on how severe the mark the more treatment may be required.

    With a discount it cost £600 for a set of 3, with Transform Medical group
