I have acne scars on my face. I have been suggested to do dermaroller treatment so, is it necessary to do the treatment in clinic or it can be done from home itself?

Dermaroller upto .5 mm can be done at home above that needs anesthesia so should be done by a professional.

Hello, Dermaroller is not ideal as the needles enter obliquely and cause more dermal damage. Derma pen or microneedling is better option. Derma roller of scalp can be done on your own but for face the the needles need longer 1.5 mm or 2 mm and will need topical anesthetic cream and there will be pinpoint bleeding which needs sterility. It will be better to get it done at clinic. Consult a dermatologist.
