Can I use a derma roller on c section scar?

Question

I had a c section 2 months ago, which healed very well and did not develop any keloids. I wanted to know if it is safe to use a derma roller on the c section scar to lighten its appearance. Will a 1mm needle size be sufficient? Is it too soon to start using a derma roller on my the scar?

Hi, derma roller works well on all scars starting from post acne scars to stretch marks. But this is too early to start any treatment for your scar and it is safe to wait for 3 more months to see the progress of the scar. Medical supervision is needed though Micro needling is a safe procedure . Thank you.

You can safely use a 0.25 mm roller at home. Start slowly then work up. All good to start now. You can add vitamin A and a cream called Strataderm for better results. The Team At Fiori Institute, Brisbane. Australia.
