Hi, I'm about 10 months post op from explant and lift. I had one session of prp and microneedling a month ago in hopes of helping lax skin and scarring. Can I supplement some of the treatments at home with a derma pen (like Dr Pen) or a derma roller to save some money? If that is safe, can I just use Jojoba with it? I only want to try this if it's safe. Thanks!
