Dermarolling has become a popular at home treatment, but using a derma roller on yourself carries real risks that are often overlooked. When performed incorrectly, the needles can create uneven micro-injuries, which increases the chance of scarring, hyperpigmentation, and infection. At home rollers are also difficult to keep truly sterile, and even a small lapse in hygiene can introduce bacteria directly into the skin.
A certified skin therapist is trained to assess your skin type, select the correct needle length, and use precise techniques that stimulate collagen safely. Professional clinics work under strict hygiene standards and use medical grade tools that deliver controlled results. They can also tailor the treatment to your concerns and ensure that the skin is prepared and cared for properly afterwards.
Choosing a professional does more than protect your skin. It ensures the treatment actually works as intended, supports healthy collagen production, and gives you long term results without unnecessary damage. Dermarolling is effective, but only when carried out with expertise. Your skin deserves that level of care.
