Is there a way to treat damage and hypopigmentation caused by dermarolling? (Photos)

Asked By:JakeCam97 in United Kingdom

Hi docs, 20 year old male here, a few months ago I naively started using a 0.5mm dermaroller at home on my lips after reading about it plumping on beauty blogs. The result has been awful, my vermillion border has faded, my cupids bow has lost its sharpness/height and thinned out, I have a raised scar on my procheilon, and lips lost their red pigment, having become pale pink/white. Is there anything I can do to get my lips back to how they were before, or is this damage irreversible?
