Yes, you may use that serum in conjunction with derma rolling. In my office we use a wide variety of serums with micro-needling as well as PRP. Best of luck

You must be very careful to use only serums that are specifically made to be safely used together with dermarolling as these treatments enhance penetration of topically applied serums into the skin.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. This serum is made specifically for this treatment. Our patients also use a growth factor serum at home after the office treatment.
