Derma Roller is a device and it can go a lot of good or a lot of bad depending on when and how it is used. Some derma rollers can be used in combination with your treatments and others should not.I recommend that you see your dermatologist and get best skin care advice from skin expert.Best regards

No problems with doxy- in fact it is good that you are on an antibiotic because if you use a 1.0mm roller or longer you will bleed, and hence doxy can reduce the chance of infection.As for Retin A- stop this cream the night before the rolling session, then recommence when your skin has completely healed (2-8 days depending your roller depth and method). Use every second night, then increase as tolerated. All the best rollinDr Davin Lim Laser DermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
