Could use your help docs! my derma roller won't puncture the skin on my thigh, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epidermis thicker: On different parts of your body the top layer of your skin which is known as the epidermis is thicker or thinner. It is thicker on the thigh and that is why the derma roller doesn't penetrate.
