Asked By:Judy in Texas in Conroe, TX

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I've had several facelifts, but due to the elasticity of my skin, the results are poor. I am wondering if the derma rollers sold online will help me produce more collagen or will it just produce more of the defective collagen? My dermatologist wants to perform a professional one in his office, but it's very expensive, and I'm concerned it may be a big waste of money either way. Thank you for a reply or another solution that may help me.
