Knowing how often to use a derma roller can make all the difference between achieving your desired results and dealing with irritation and setbacks. The right frequency depends on several factors like needle size and skin type, and getting it right is crucial.
In this article, we'll dive into everything you need to know about how often to use a derma roller, what makes our Micro Infusion technology a smarter alternative, and how to get the most out of your skincare routine—all from the comfort of your home.
What this article covers:
What Is A Derma Roller?
A derma roller is a handheld device equipped with hundreds of tiny needles designed to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, and can be used for a variety of skin concerns, such as using a derma roller for wrinkles.
While traditional dermarolling has its merits, microneedling offers more precise and effective results. That's why we've developed the Qure Skincare Micro Infusion System, which combines the benefits of microneedling with the convenience of at-home use.
Our system features 24K gold-plated clinical-grade needles and a specially formulated serum to enhance your skincare routine.
How Often Should You Use A Derma Roller?
The frequency of derma rolling depends on the needle length and your skin's sensitivity. For needles measuring 0.2 to 0.5 mm, it's generally safe to use the derma roller up to three times a week.
However, for longer needles (1.0 mm to 1.5 mm), it's advisable to limit sessions to once every 2 to 4 weeks to allow adequate healing time. Overuse can lead to skin irritation, so it's essential to monitor your skin's response and adjust accordingly.
Why Should You Choose Micro Infusion Instead?
From our experience, the Micro Infusion System offers a game-changing alternative to traditional derma rolling and even professional microneedling.
While derma rollers can offer surface-level improvements, they lack precision and often don't penetrate deeply or evenly enough to deliver consistent, effective results.
They're also typically limited to addressing minor concerns and come with the risk of infection or scarring if not sterilized properly or used on compromised skin.
Microneedling, on the other hand, is more targeted but still involves more trauma to the skin and longer recovery times, making it less ideal for regular use, especially at home. After microneedling, you might experience skin irritation and will need multiple days to recover.
That's why makeup after microneedling and exercise after microneedling are big no-nos, and why microneedling post care products are crucial.
That's where Qure's Micro Infusion steps in. After putting it to the test, we've seen firsthand how our clinical-grade 24K gold-plated needles paired with our specially formulated serum can create micro-channels that are just as effective, but far gentler.
According to our research, users experience visibly rejuvenated skin with less downtime and far less risk. Here's how they compare:

How Often To Use A Derma Roller (FAQs)
Can I use a derma roller if I have acne?
It's best to avoid using a derma roller directly on active acne, as this can spread bacteria and worsen breakouts. Wait until blemishes have healed before incorporating any microneedling tools into your routine.
How should I care for my skin after derma rolling or Micro Infusion?
After treatment, keep your skin clean, avoid direct sun exposure, and skip any harsh products like retinol or acids for at least 24 hours. Hydrating serums and gentle moisturizers are your best friends post-treatment.
Can Micro Infusion help with hyperpigmentation?
Yes, consistent use of the Qure Micro Infusion System can help fade dark spots and even out skin tone by boosting cell turnover and enhancing serum absorption.
