Barcelona full-back Jordi Alba doesn’t believe the combination of Spain’s long journey to and from Qatar in midweek and an early kick-off against Getafe on Sunday should unduly affect the Catalans.

The skin plumps and thickens in response to the stimulus, reducing the appearance of scars, stretch marks, fine lines, wrinkles, and more.

As the device rolls along the skin, the needles pierce thousands of microscopic holes just deep enough to reach the collagen layer in the dermis....
