Roll the whole area (whole face and whole abdomen) with the 1 mm roller and needle the wrinkles on your forehead and needle the individual stretch marks. You do not have to do it all in one session.
For your stretch marks:

Tretinoin contains the most effective but also the most irritating form of vit. A: The acidic form. There are some studies that this form of vit. A improves stretch marks:

Do not apply Tretinoin right after dermarolling your face. This would be too irritating and stinging.
I only recommend applying Tretinoin right after needling in some special cases such as stretch marks, surgical scars etc. Massage Tretinoin into each individual stretch mark after needling.
Infadolan is a post-dermarolling protective, regenerative ointment and it contains a non-acidic, non-irritating form of vit. A. This form is slowly converted to Tretinoin in the skin but the conversion rate is not as high as if you applied Tretinoin directly. Infadolan can be applied right after dermarolling.
If you use both, apply Tretinoin and then Infadoalan. Tretinoin dries the skin. Infadolan moisturizes the skin.
You can buy a 0.1% Tretinoin cream for your stretch marks.
This percentage is too strong for the face but you can just add a little to your ordinary facial cream and thus dilute the concentration for facial use.
You do not need the copper mask.
To disinfect the roller, you can either use Chloramine T or Ethanol:
