Yes! Derma rolling with a 0.5 millimeter needle is completely safe for at-home use. This needle length only reaches the top layer of the dermis, which is enough to trigger collagen and elastin production without causing damage. Microneedling has been extensively studied worldwide and is widely recognized as a safe and effective skin treatment. The 0.5 millimeter needle size makes it the safest option for at-home use, providing a painless and controlled experience.

For domestic orders within South Africa, shipping usually takes 1–3 business days. For international orders outside of South Africa, shipping typically takes 5–14 business days, depending on the destination.

You will feel the needles rolling across your skin, but it is not supposed to cause pain. The 0.5 millimeter needles are designed to be gentle, making the process comfortable while still being effective.

With consistent use of the 0.5 millimeter roller, you’ll typically begin noticing subtle improvements in skin texture within about 4–6 weeks. Because the process relies on your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, visible changes build gradually. It’s realistic to plan for around 6 sessions (spaced roughly 4–6 weeks apart) to see more significant results.

You can use most facial serums with your derma roller — the micro‑channels created by the 0.5 mm needles allow serums to penetrate more deeply than usual. Depending on your skin goals (dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores), there are certain types of serums that work better for each concern. If you want to put the serum in the tool make sure the serum is thin enough for it to release through the tool otherwise you could just apply serum after derma rolling which is just as beneficial.
