Can i use a derma roller if i scar easily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably fine: You are correct to be concerned. However, the pins/needles used in rollers are very small and not likely to lead to significant scarring. My suggestion would be to test the roller on a small area that is inconspicuous first, just to be sure (especially if you tend to keloid, etc)
