Dermarollers vs. fractional laser for deep acne scars
Dermarollers have a limited roll in acne scars. There are new fractional lasers which are more controlled in their depth of penetration.

There is a small chance of keloids with dermaroller.
There is a chance of keloids with dermaroller - but I have treated patients with keloidal tendency with dermaroller/ fractional radiofrequency with no negative outcomes. It does help that the wounding is more controlled and precise with dermaroller/ RF. However, there is a small risk of keloids that you and your physician should be willing to take. Do discuss thoroughly with your doctor before you go ahead with the procedure. A good repair cream should be part of your after-care.
