How often can I needle with a 0.5mm Dermaroller and should I use numbing cream?

Question

I am treating laser damage with a 0.5 dermaroller at home.( Pinholes scars broken capillaries )I find it quite painful and get pin point bleeding which I'm happy with because I know I should produce new collagen. Why am I finding it painful though didn't expect to with 0.5 and can I do it twice a week as I've read or is this not right. Can I apply my Environ AVST 4 moisturiser afterwards or please tell me what I should apply thank you

Hello,
Thanks for your question.

I am not sure what you mean by laser damage. Nerves are close to the surface so pain can be expressed, although you may be pressing too hard. 
Get an experienced doctor to review your technique.
