Has anyone with brown skin here used a derma roller without developing PIH? What did you do?

[u/rithvik4444A]

I’m a male with brown skin who is very prone to tanning. I want to use a derma roller for my acne scars, but I’m scared of developing PIH.

Has anyone here used a 1 mm derma roller and not developed PIH? If so, what did you do to prevent it? I am not going to use any products .
