Answer: A dermaroller will not provide the results you are looking for
Micro-needling creates micro-channels in the skin which enhance penetration of topical serums and medications which can dramatically increasing their effectiveness. Up to 80% of product can penetrate the skin compared to 7 to 10% with normal topical application. Therefore, it is very important...
There is no waiting time. In my office, we use the ProCell Therapies system and we often combine micro-needling treatments with LED treatments at the same time.Studies have shown that micro-needling should not cause post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (PIH), even in higher risk skin types.
