What is a Derma roller Like?

Dermaroller is a cylindrical, handheld medical device having 192 fine surgical needles around it. It is used during a micro-needling process that is meant to break down all scarred tissues.

Don’t forget that higher needle sizes (2.0mm and 2.5mm) are for severer skin conditions and are professionally used.

How Does Dermaroller Work 

Sharp surgical needles penetrate the upper dermal skin and create multiple tiny pricks. The pores open temporarily and your body’s natural reaction is more production of collagen and elastin, the two elements responsible for suppleness of the skin.

The skin forms new skin cells and tissues to heal and rejuvenate itself. Sufficient collagen and elastin fibers fill-up the hollowness created by fine lines and scars, making the skin give a fuller look. The acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles naturally fade away and vanish over time.

Which Parts to Use Dermaroller On?

You can use dermaroller on almost all the body parts with skin conditions, including the facial skin having acne scars. It includes the neck, forehead, nose, the skin around eyes, cheeks, arms, belly (stretch marks), thighs and Knees. Avoid using it on lips and eyelids.
