The dermaroller is a cylindrical shaped drum studded with very fine needles. It is a medical device used in micro needling to stimulate skin cells to proliferate.This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibres (neo-collagenesis) as well as in new cappillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis). This procedure is called
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).
What is the difference to other skin rejuvenation
techniques?
In contrast to all ablative techniques like Lasers
and
Fractional Laser treatments, the Dermaroller stimulates
new tissue formation - it acts constructively and the
skin remains intact. The skin does not get damaged
(unlike other needling
devices) and therefore will not
go into a wound healing response. The Dermaroller
significantly improves skin texture.
What effects does the Dermaroller have on the skin?
It improves thethickness of the dermis as well as
the epidermis. This in return improves skin texture
and reduces wrinkles. It also has a positive effect on
hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation,
new collagen fibres, an improved blood supply and
harmonises pigmentation.
How is the procedure performed and does it hurt?
The skin is cleaned and afterwards numbed with an
apprpriate numbing cream - it should not hurt at all.
Skin is thoroughly needled in such a way, that each
skin part is needled about 15 to 20 times. An even
flushing is the best indication for a perfect medical
performance.
Can it be performed on any skin colour?
Since Dermaroller does not use thermal heat (unlike IPL & Lasers) it is safe to use on all skin types and all skin
colours. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-
pigmentation.
As often as required, for Collagen Induction Therapy we recommend to start with 3 treatments, but with a minimum separation time of 6 to 8 weeks between treatments. Unlike ablative procedures for facial skin only, the Dermaroller can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, decollete, arms, legs, etc).
What are the side effects of a Dermaroller procedure??
There are virtually no negative side effects, and
none have ever been reported in over 150, 000
procedures performed worldwide..
Risks of post-op infection?
Since the tiny prickling channels close within minutes,
and provided the procedure is done under clinical
conditions, post-op infections are very unlikely.
What is the down time after a Dermaroller treatment?
The inflammatory reaction of the skin is xtremely short
and fades significantly within hours from redness to
pinkish that may last for 12 to 24 hours on average.
In order to reduce visible redness, we recommend
healing minerals, peptides or hyaluronic acid after the
procedure, and to protect the skin with zinc based
SUN SCREEN. We also recommend the use of mineral
make-up to help with the healing.
What should I avoid on my skin?
To ensure the right healing environment, for 2-3 days
DO NOT use AHA's (Glycolic Acid), Retinol, acidic or "active" ingredients.
What should I use on my skin after the treatment?
An Anti_inflammatory Cleanser to soothe, Hyaluronic
Acid to hydrate, Copper to help heal, Zinc to help heal
but also protect.
What are the differences in Dermaroller models?
Principally, there is none, both models (medical and
home care) only differ in needle size. While the medical
Dermaroller has longer needles - to induce collagen
in deeper skin layers, the needles of the Home Care
Dermaroller are very short, not more than 0.2mm.
The Home Care Dermaroller serves the following
purposes:
a) To enhance active substance through the skin barrier
(stratum corneum)
b) To improve and support results after and in between
CIT treatments by: stimulating epidermal cells for
proliferation that results in a faster renewal cycle of
the epidermis and thickens the epidermal cell layers.
The Home Care Dermaroller is NOT suitable for collagen treatments, but it helps to maintain a beautiful skin.
Does the Dermaroller have the same effect like Fractional Laser Therapy?
YES! But the mechanism of action of a Fractional Laser
is totally different. The laser beam sets a burn wound
that results in necrosis. After an inflammatory process
the necrosis transforms into fibrotic tissue in forms of
micro scars. Nerve cells are "melted" by the hot laser
beam, therefore the treatment is relatively painful. As
the doctor cannot see the previous set scars under
the epidermis in a follow-up treatment, it is extremely
difficult for them to set an even scar pattern. This is the
reason why more treatments are required as initially
anticipated. But overall, as reported in
clinical trials
and besides costly investment in lasers, both therapies
have about the same results for facial treatments.
Is the Dermaroller TGA listed in Australia?
Definitely YES! To ensure its quality of skin needling,
the device was registered with the TGA. The
Dermaroller is the first medical device of its type
included on the Therapeutic Goods Administration
(TGA) register as a Class 2a medical device.
