The 7 Best Microneedlers For Every Budget

You've probably heard some buzz about microneedling. Perhaps you thought "OMG, why would I roll tiny needles on my skin?!" Maybe you thought, "Must. Try. That. Now." Or maybe — you have no idea what microneedling (also called, dermarolling) actually is. Microneedling works by rolling tiny, thin needles across the skin's surface. This creates "micro-injuries," which send the skin a signal to get extra collagen and elastin to the site of the damage ASAP, says Neil Sadick, a clinical professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. The result is plumped, brighter skin, softened lines, and even a reduction in acne scarring. It's generally done in tandem with the application of your serum. And as an added bonus, these micro-injuries actually amplify the serum's absorption. Interested in checking it out for yourself? Here are some options to help you choose the right at-home tool for you.
