Dermarollers.....just search Amazon. I think 1.5mm is the recommended length and you don't have to press hard to get a full puncture of the skin like many doctors do. You can google it as well since there are tons of articles out there on it.

Not sure I'd want to do this on my young DD. It's one thing for me to do it but I'd be nervous having a teen try it. Also, many sites don't rec this for active acne.

I also endorse everything that other posters are saying about acne.org. I'm a long time user of their products and I've gotten lots of great help from the info on the website.

I agree with BellaCarro. Also a 1.5m length is a medical length and not recommended for home use, especially by an untrained user. The actual skin needling is only part of the treatment. The pre-care and after-care are just as important as a needling session.

eta: Needling is contra-indicated for active acne.
