Hi, I have mild acne scars on my face and large pores few places pigmentation also. I have two choice salicylic acid peel or dermaroller, i am afraid to use dermaroller because of needling on skin may cause infection and pain. can you please suggest me which treatment will give fast and best results with no or less chance of infection. I have already used salicylic acid peel at my home so i am familiar with this treatment but dermaroller is new so i am afraid from its side-effects
