Derma roller experience (moderate acne scars on face)

One week after the 1st treatment
Hi :)
So I have patiently waited for a week before commenting on any results.
On the first day after treatment, my face was swollen and red and felt tense - similar to a severe sunburn. A day after, it was still red and started peeling. I put on SPF 50 for this entire week, put a good quality moisturiser with Vitamin F, A, C and E. I also tried to eat healthily ;)
As you can see from the photos, I have a bit of a breakout right now which I blame on the sunscreen (My skin reacts badly to most sun screens... and this even though I specifically bought a non-allergic sun screen!). I would say that my skin tone has evened out a little bit and I believe that overall my skin is busy thickening. Knowing myself very well, I can tell that something is happening in terms of the depth of my scars. But this effect is so slight, another person wouldn't be able to tell. Maybe after more treatments my scars will flatten out more noticeably...
I have decided to only roll with the 0.50 mm and 0.75 mm on my face and have also decided to not roll more than twice a month. I think the wound healing process is essential to derma rolling and I want to give my skin the necessary time to heal in between treatments.
