What should I apply after Derma Rolling? (Photo)

Question

Hello I wanted to use a dermaroller at home and I was wondering if it's necessary to apply something on my skin while and after doing it. Serums are kind of expensive, Is it okay if I use zinc oxide or nivea creme or nivea soft or a vitamin c lightening cream afterwards ? And what about natural toners such as rice water, rose water, or green tea toner ? Can I apply them while dermarolling ? Or after it. I have other lotions too but most of them are for treating acne. Thank you

It is very important that anything you put on the skin after micro-needling has been specifically tested and proven to be safe to use after this procedure. Micro-needling creates thousands of micro-channels in the skin which enhance penetration of topical serums and medications, dramatically increasing their effectiveness. Up to 80% of product can penetrate the skin compared to 7 to 10% with normal topical application. 
  
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.
