What about dermarollers and snake cream?

i am a woman 43 years if I use snake complex cream will be good for me or try derma roller by doctor or by my own. Thanks

I would avoid both of these!  There is little or  no evidence that either of them work for wrinkles or anything else.  The dermarollers are interesting but have potential for harm also. Here is some more info on dermarollers.   Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
