The 11 Best At-Home Dermarollers 2024

Prior to using a dermaroller, it is important to gently cleanse your face with a hydrating cleanser. “Roll the tool back and forth four to five times in each direction horizontally, vertically, and diagonally on the area you wish to treat," explains Roff. "Apply light and consistent pressure to the full area being treated and use a hyaluronic acid serum during and after treatment."

Experts stress that it's important to follow a dermaroller treatment with a gentle hydrating moisturizer containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin to help promote a healthy skin barrier. “Avoid any harsh topicals or heavily fragranced products, as this may further irritate your skin and may result in skin redness, rashes, and worsening scarring or hyperpigmentation,” warns Allawh. It is not recommended to use a dermaroller on areas with active acne or breakouts, keloid scarring, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, cold sores, sunburns, or any other form of damaged or infected skin.
