Scab after derma roller

How long does the scab last after undergoing a derma roller treatment?

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
After using a dermaroller, avoid the use of moisturizers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colors. Slight crusting and scabbing in particular areas are common side effects of the procedure and it will take a few days for the scabs to go away.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
