Like some of the other treatments to be had, skin needling stimulates the body's own collagen production to cut back the illusion of wrinkles and fine lines, stretch marks, skin laxity, and scarring on a regular basis caused by zits or chicken pox.
This is achieved by introducing a series of fine, sharp needles into the skin. The needles are attached to a sterile roller (dermaroller) which is rolled over the surface of the skin to create many microscopic channels or columns, approximately 0.07- 0.25mm wide, at various depths of penetration in the outer layer of the skin where collagen and elastin fibers are located. These minute punctures close over almost immediately as the skin heals after using a dermaroller.
By temporarily pushing open the pores of the skin with the dermaroller, any anti-aging creams and moisturizers you apply are better able to penetrate the skin - instead of just sitting on top of it. Allowing you to derive maximum benefits from your best face moisturizer.
This "damage" to the dermis encourages the body to produce more new collagen and elastin which generate new skin cells to literally "repair" itself, thus the skin becomes thicker, plumper and more youthful. Although primarily used on the face, the dermaroller procedure can be carried out anywhere on the body, such as on stretch marks on the thighs and abdomen, and generally on all skin types.
Use of the skin needling rollers, or dermarollers is deemed safe to carry out at home due to the minimal level of needle insertion and is considered to be virtually painless by most people. Actually, it is only a tingling sensation, but it is not painful.
How To Use The Dermaroller?
Simply clean your skin well, apply your favorite anti-aging cream first and then roll the dermaroller 4 times in different directions... Up and down, and side to side. Concentrate on areas that bother you the most like crows feet (eye wrinkles), forehead wrinkles, smile lines, and neck wrinkles. Some people even use the dermaroller on their chest - where the skin tends to get thin and wrinkled.
The only side effects associated with skin needling is temporary redness of your skin in the areas that you rolled.
It could actually take up to four - eight weeks until visible signs of skin regeneration are observed, however a single treatment using a dermaroller can produce considerable results.
