### Everything You Need to Know
Do face rollers really work?
According to dermatologists, face rollers can provide short-term benefits for a radiant complexion, though they won’t replace a facelift. “They offer subtle improvements for a refreshed look,” says Dr. Sturm. Dr. Asmi Berry adds that results depend on the tool—rollers help with puffiness, while microcurrent devices may sculpt by stimulating muscles.
Can you overdo it with face rollers?
Face rollers are safe for daily use. “Consistency is key for temporary puffiness reduction,” says Dr. Spearman. Dr. Sturm recommends using them before makeup or events for a sculpted effect, or daily to combat swelling from salt or hormones.
How to Use a Face Roller
Start with clean skin and apply serum or oil to prevent tugging. Roll outward from the center of your face, and use downward strokes on the neck for best results.
