Micro Needling: Questions and Answers. What you need to know!

Q What is a Skin Roller?
A The skin roller (also called dermal needling or collagen induction) is a small hand held rolling device which has micro surgical needles that reach the inner surface of your skin to promote skin repair by stimulating elastin and collagen production in the skin without causing any damage.

Q Do Skin Rollers Really Work?
A Skin Rollers are supported by clinical studies to be effective in non-surgical and non-ablative treatment for a variety of skin conditions. These include anti-ageing, (wrinkles, fine lines), scarring and hyperpigmentation. Studies have also shown that skin rollers are often times a better treatment than dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. They are proven to be just effective in their ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Q Do Skin Rollers Hurt? - Is the Process Painful?

A Using the device gently gives a tickling feeling, but using the dermal roller is not painful.
Anesthetic creams are used to reduce discomfort.

Q How does the Skin Roller Work?
A It performs collagen induction therapy, which means, as you roll the skin needling roller over your skin, the extremely fine needles (microneedles) penetrate into the dermis. This is perceived by the body as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin. The micro-channels created by the fine needles fully close within just a few hours after initial application. This provides just enough time for new collagen structures to form within the skin’s lower layers, but short enough to ensure that you can quickly resume your normal schedule. Thereby eliminating the risks and negative side effects that are commonly encountered with dermabrasion, chemical peeling, and laser resurfacing.

Q Are Skin Rollers Safe:

A Clinically conducted studies in the U.S South Korea, and Europe have shown that genuine dermaroller therapy can increase serum absorption by as much as 1,000 times. This process is more nurturing to the skin than invasive and expensive skin treatments which makes skin needling at home safe.

Q How will the skin roller benefit my skin?

A Skin Dermal Rollers have the following key benefits: 
• It can be used on thin skin, and on all areas of the face, neck and body.
• Extremely high absorption of any type of chemical substance
• Collagen Induction through controlled mechanical stimulation
• Complete preservation of the epidermis during the procedure
• Can increase serum absorption by as much as 1,000 times
• There are no known negative side-effects
• Realignment of old collagen bundles
• No permanent damage to the skin, and no pain during the procedure
• The process stimulates physiological responses
• Convenient skin needling at home


Q How Fast Will I See Results?
A You should see results of smoother, clearer skin within 2-3 weeks, cell rejuvenation by 3 months and a remodeled skin with permanent changes after 6 months. This remodeling process will continue for another 6 months after your last treatment
