During this treatment a device covered in multiple micro-needles is rolled over the skin to create tiny punctures. This causes it to produce collagen; the elastic fibre that gives skin the firmness and glow associated with youth.
The skin naturally contains collagen. However, we experience wrinkles and fine lines due to it degenerating as we age. This is why dermaroller can help; as skin produces large quantities of collagen after a treatment and essentially heals itself, it helps skin to return to a smoother, firmer state. Stretch marks may also benefit from this treatment, as will acne scarring.
A typical dermaroller treatment takes around ten minutes from the time the anaesthetic begins to work, and the procedure is undertaken by a registered nurse or doctor. For best results it is advised that patients undergo 4-6 treatments with 8-12 week intervals between them. However, the effects of dermaroller are not temporary, and you can expect to continue receiving the benefit of it for years to come.
