I have some minor acne scars and enlarged pores. Which needle length would suit my skin best? And how often should I roll?

Kimberly -

  Is your skin texture a result of acne or was acne not an issue?

Yes, I used to have active acne prone skin during my early to late teens. Now I have some acne scars and enlarged pores on my cheeks. Can you advise me on which derma-roller to get? What length is best?

The best approach in your case is a 0.5 mm dermaroller (used twice a week on your entire face) and a 1.5 mm dermastamp (used once every three weeks on your scars and indentations). Dermastamping is more laborious but you do not have to do both cheeks in one go. It is better to stamp one cheek thoroughly and the next day or any time later the other cheek.
