Why I Don’t Recommend At-Home Microneedling with a Derma Roller
Microneedling is one of my favourite in-clinic treatments when it’s done properly. It can help soften fine lines, improve acne scarring and give the skin a healthier, tighter, more luminous look and it’s hugely popular with my patients in Hale, Altrincham.
