Will dermarolling thicken the epidermis/dermis and make my skin less sensitive as a result?

willbill
I have very sensitive skin. I believe one of the reasons it is so sensitive is because it is thin and fragile, making it easy for irritants to penetrate. I also feel it gets dehydrated very easily because of its thinness. I've read that dermarollers with a length of .5mm can thicken the epidermis and dermis. Is this a viable treatment to eventually give me less sensitive and more hydrated skin?
