I did Derma Roller at home. Now there are small pinhole marks on my face. Will these go away? Have I damaged my skin? (Photo)

Asked By:smroman98

I’ve had nice skin with small pores most of life. No real reason to use Derma Roller but read great reviews about increasing the elasticity of skin so I wanted to give it a try. It’s been 36 hours since I used the Derma Roller (size 0.25) at home and there are pinholes throughout my face. It looks like my pores are larger. Will these go away? If so, when? Is there anything I can do reduce these? Should I see a dermatologist. Please help.
