Hi,
I understand your query.
Home Derma rollar has comparitively short needles as compared to clinic derma roller treatment- & it is more useful for reaching skin care products in skin layer along with stimulation of collagen growth.
Application of numbing cream( provided you are not allergic to it) as well as moisturizer before & after the treatment, is not likely to have systemic effect & so it can be used.
Thanks.
