A clinician (Shereene Idriss) contrasts in-office microneedling with at-home dermarolling: in-office procedures use longer needles, penetrate deeper, and create controlled micro-injuries producing visible redness, whereas consumer dermarollers are shorter, lower quality, and may cause superficial micro-tears. The speaker also notes that microneedling can be combined with radiofrequency heat in-office to stimulate collagen and address skin laxity for appropriate candidates.

Talk about microneedling for a quick second. Microneedling in office what I do in my practice is very different than microneedling at home that you guys get with derma rollers, because the derma rollers are a of much lower quality and much shorter length. So you're probably causing more micro tears at home than what we cause in office, which are actual micro injuries. Now in office we tend to go deeper and her face looks really red, so she most likely did her treatments in office. Plus, in my practice, I love to combine micro needling with radio frequency heat, depending on how much laxity you have and if you are the right candidate, to help stimulate collagen production and to tighten in the process.
