TLDR Dermaroller is effective and safe for improving skin conditions like acne scars and alopecia with minimal side effects.
The study "Dermaroller in dermatology and cosmetology" from 4 years ago, conducted by Shobhit Mohan, Lalit Mohan, Renu Sangal, and Neelu Singh, explored the use of dermaroller as a therapeutic tool in dermatology. Dermaroller, through needle penetration, induces a wound healing cascade with mild temporary damage to the epidermis, enhancing the absorption of topical therapies. The procedure has been increasingly utilized due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. It has been particularly effective in treating localized areas of disease such as acne scars, alopecia, striae, melasma, and actinic keratoses. The procedure has fewer adverse effects compared to other therapies, making it a highly effective and viable resurfacing option for skin color.
