Did you know that??
At-home microneedling devices like dermarollers, stamps, and similar tools, may seem simple but Dr. Karam gives them a 1/10 for a reason.
As a surgeon, he sees the complications that happen when needles aren’t properly cleaned or sterilized. When bacteria, oils, and dead skin build up on these devices, you’re essentially reinjecting that debris back into your skin — a common cause of infections, breakouts, and inflammation.
Microneedling can be an effective treatment, but it should be done in a professional setting where sterility, technique, and depth are properly controlled.
Bottom line: at-home devices carry risks most people don’t realize. Professional microneedling is the safer, more effective option.
