Home dermarolling with a 1.5mm?

Question

Can I dermaroll once a month with the 1.5mm and in between weeks can I dermaroll once or twice a week with a .5 or is that overdoing it? Thanks in advance

I personally would recommend a 0,5 mm roller for home use. Anything approaching 1 mm will require numbing cream and antibiotics afterwards as you will bleed. I like a once to twice a month regime for my patients to do 'home work' in between energy based micro needling devices. See more on the 'How to' video below. CheersDr Davin S.

I do not recommend the use of 1.5 mm needles for home micro--needling, and there is evidence to suggest that 0.5 mm needles can be just as effective, Also, rollers such as the Dermaroller create a
more erratic pattern of "tears" through the skin rather than the
clean, more evenly distributed punctures seen with motorized micro-needling
machines.
