Hi, many thanks for your helpful website, can i please ask a question about dermarolling?
A few years ago i had microcanulus injections into my face, with the surgeon using the corners of my mouth as access points. Unfortunately, this has caused slight scarring - a small area of 'bumpiness' in the corners of my mouth rather than the smooth skin it used to be. The result is that when my mouth is closed, small creases form at the corners. They bother me because i feel they interfere greatly with the aesthetics of the mouth area.
It is my desire to improve this any way i can - at home if possible, or at a clinic if necessary. From my research i believe that derma rolling could be an good place to start.
The key concept is that i need to flatten the 'bumpy' scarred areas into smooth skin. Can the collagen-inducing effects of derma-rolling achieve this, do you think? I have also considered chemical peels, and various forms of microdermabrasion. However, i don't think it would be a good idea to combine treatments.. the lip area is a delicate one afterall? Thus my plan is to start with 0.25mm rolling of the area, and move up to 0.5mm once i'm comfortable.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Regards
Damien
