How the Dermaroller Works

“The theory is that the Genuine Dermaroller, by making countless puncture holes in the dermis, spurs the skin into producing new collagen and elastin, as well as generating new cells. The skin plumpens up, lines vanish and the end result should be a younger-looking me with fresher, smoother and more glowing skin.”

Collagen Induction Therapy using Microneedles
The Dermaroller process utilises the bodies natural healing processes. The area to be treated is pricked many thousands of times with tiny MICRONEEDLES which because of their incredibly small size cause no damage – yet they prompt the body to set in motion a repair process that ultimately creates a new collagen layer – producing firm,  fresh looking skin tissues. The skin integrity remains intact throughout this process which is called neo-collagenesis or new collagen creation.

Collagen-Induction-Therapy (CIT) by micro-needling the skin requires special medical Dermarollers and medical knowledge. As the human skin has an average thickness of 1.5 mm, Dermaroller needle lengths range from 0.3 to 1.5 mm. Any longer needles – often offered by copiers of the Original – are contraindicated and may indeed cause significant damage to the skin.

Needles longer than 0.25 mm cause mild pain and require a pre-anaesthetisation of the skin. In order to avoid infections and other unpleasant experiences, a medical procedure should always be performed in a clinical environment!

Whilst the medical Dermaroller treatment may look easy – under NO circumstances treat yourself!

Without knowledge of skin anatomy, sterility and handling the instrument, you may experience negative side effects and severe damage of your skin!

Medical Dermarollers are SINGLE USE invasive instruments. Do NOT reuse them! You may experience severe infections!
