Scratches from dermarolling? (Photo)

March 19, 2016
Asked By:takemeback in Pennsylvania, PA

I used a derma roller last night & it didn't hurt much, I didn't use forceful pressure or much pressure at all, but I got what looks like cat scratches. I didn't feel any dragging and I didn't get bleeding. I tried to get better pictures but it didn't work out so well. They're a bit darker in person than in pictures. Will these heal after time?
