Frequency depends on needle size: 0.25mm can be used daily, 0.5mm every 3 days (2-3 times per week), 1.0mm once per week, and 1.5mm once every 1-2 weeks.

For acne scars, use a 0.5mm to 1.0mm derma roller once per week. Allow 7 days between sessions for skin recovery. Apply vitamin C serum and hyaluronic acid after each session. Follow this schedule consistently for 12-16 weeks. Use our Treatment Tracker to log each session and monitor improvement.

On rest days, focus on gentle skincare: use a mild cleanser, apply moisturizer, and always use SPF 30+ sunscreen. Avoid active ingredients like retinol and AHA/BHA acids for 24-48 hours after rolling. Keep skin hydrated and protected. Read our serum guide for product recommendations.
