how come there is not a 1.5 size for body stretch marks?

Vanessa, Due to safety reason, this kit does not include 1.5mm since some people will actually use it on their faces on a weekly or daily basis. Your face has thinner skin than the body. If use incorrectly or overly use on the face, it can cause micro damages below the epidermis. You might not notice the damages at first. Overtime they might surface due to consistent usage with improper instructions. You definitely can use 1.5 mm on the body, but this kit is mostly for facial treatment. You can still use 0.75 mm to 1.0 mm for stretch marks on the body, but you might need more treatments. I highly care for my customer safety. Therefore, I do not want to include an item that can cause potential side effects.

I got most of my information from you tube videos before I purchased. Some information is conflicting but what worked for me was after, using the 0.5 size 3 times a week, and not making my self bleed or making it painful. Hour this helps :)

to get used to the roller I would start off with the .5 then the 1.0 isn't so bad, also the 1.0 gets the best results fastest but is a little too long for the forehead and neck area, at least that is what I think from my own experience. The 1.5 is great for deep holes on the face and thigh area, 1.0 is good for stomach such as stretch marks. Definitely use a numbing cream if you are going to use the 1.0 and higher. I don't have to use the numbing cream anymore I am used to the needles now. I have found the stamp works great on ice pick acne scars. Tea tree oil works great on healing the scars fast but it stinks you would want to dilute it first but make sure you don't use it the first 2 days so it doesn't stink. Also acne or any scar if you stamp or roll really good then wait at least 6 months to redo them give them plenty time to heal. Hope this helps.

You certainly can use it, but I personally don't think it will diminish stretch marks, it seems to only help with prevention.

It doesn't work great on existing stretch marks...I have pretty bad ones on my breasts that it hasn't really helped fade. It worked good in preventing ones on my tummy though. I don't think it matters if they are preggo stretch marks or not.

Maybe a .5 mm roller. You're not supposed to use the 1.5 for your face. That one is used for the body; like the stomache and arm area

I am guessing your using the roller for cellulite? ?? Or discoloration? ??? I was told to use a 1.0 for those issues....this roller only is good for the product that is used on the skin to penetrate better but rollers with longer needles(like the 1.0 roller) stimulate collogen and heals the skin of marks and discoloration.

I would imagine it would help but maybe not as much as a product specified for stretch marks but it's definitely worth a try.

I have this same issue with the vagueness of these listings. It appears there are three sizes and one of the listings says to choose a size, but neither allows such. This is very frustrating. Unfortunately, this the only produc that seems likely to suit my needs (bamboo body suit/undies), so I am faced with risking receiving the wrong size forgoing it altogether. :-\

That is a very broad question. Everyone has different sensitivity. I can personally say I bought the .5 instead of 1.0 because I read it is best to work up to 1.0 because it is powerful. If you don't have sensitive skin then try 1.0. I did what was best for me when I purchased it. When I run out of .5 May up it to 1.0.

if you go to their site you can download the measurement strip for free, it is like a reg ring size not inch size. I needed mine to use on the first knuckle on my middle finger. I have short stubby fingers and the 7 worked perfect for this spot. I ended up ordering the multi pack as it was a little cheaper than one size, now I have for every finger and different areas if I ever need again.

Please have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByXPGwvZ_I to see how a seam guide is used; think of this magnetic seam guide as corresponding to the piece of tape shown in the video. 1/5" is a very peculiar measurement. I don't know of a ruler that would show 1/5". But I figured that 1/5" is about 5 mm, so you can use a millimeter ruler to measure such a distance. On my sewing machine with the needle positioned in the center of the presser foot, 5 mm from the needle would fall under the pressure foot. So the only way I could sew a 5 mm seam would be to move the needle away from the center position, setting it so that it is 5 mm from one edge of the pressure foot. Then I could use the edge of the presser foot as the seam seam guide. So for such an odd seam allowance, this magnetic seam guide would not work unless you have a very narrow presser foot. That said, this is a wonderful seam guide for measuring seam allowances of more conventional widths.

Amanda, there was only one size. Truthfully, I sent the item back. The one I received was very poor quality. Perhaps they have done something about that since then.

I like the 1.5mm. It doesn't seem like you need more than to just prick the surface of your skin. If you have deep wrinkles or laugh line then longer may be more helpful.

I have different sizes for different areas. I have been using the 1.0 for my face, 0.5 for around the eyes and 2.0 for body areas. I hope this helps. I actually did my face last night.

Hi cjsw,Hmm, I'm not sure on stretch marks. It just seems to take have taken the pink out of my scars which are on the surface. Probably just dermabrasion would do that (ouch!). Wish I could help ya.
