Hello! I have noticed the start of some fine lines around my mouth and eyes. I am interested in home derma rolling. If I use a 0.5mm, single use derma roller with proper disinfection of the tool as well as my skin, is there harm in using this device at home? I am aware that there are more effective treatments in office available (which I plan to use as well). I would like to add collagen induction at home as well. Thanks in advance. I am 39.
