Can diabetics use a derma roller?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Yes, the Derma Roller can be used by a Diabetic patient. There has been no supportive evidence that there would be any side effect or issue with using the Derma Roller. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, diabetes is not a contraindication for microneedling treatment.However, I do not like rollers such as the Dermaroller because they create an erratic pattern of "tears" through the skin rather than the clean, more evenly distributed punctures seen with the motorized micro-needling machines.In my office, we use the ProCell Therapies system which combines motorized micro-needling with concentrated human growth factor serums made from human stem cells. Our patients also use growth factor serums at home after the office treatment.
