What is a Derma Roller? Dermaroller
The Derma roller is like a small paint roller with fine needles, when rolled across the skin it creates channels in the inner surface of your skin to enhance absorption of vitamins, enzymes, lipids and any other nourishing ingredient in the skin care products you apply. It stimulates elastin and collagen production in the skin without causing any damage.
This microneedling or skin needling device is one of the hottest natural remedies for removing acne scars, wrinkles, and to remove stretch marks.
Scientific and clinical findings have proven it is effective for anti aging, skin rejuvenation, acne scars and surgical scar removal, as well as cellulite treatment. There is also clear evidence showing a change in the skin's cell stimulation if the Dermaroller is used regularly (up to 4 times per week).
See the Derma Roller featured on the hit CBS show, The Doctors'.

The makers of Derma Rollers say the results are similar to Laser Treatment, Dermabrasion, or Chemical Peels....but it's much less expensive and less invasive.

How Does a Derma Roller Work?
As you roll the skin roller over your skin, it creates pin point punctures into the dermis - the majority of which are simply pushing your pores open temporarily. This is perceived by the body as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin. The human body reacts to any injury by initiating the healing process, but usually it will only heal as far as it must to keep you healthy - which is different to healing to a cosmetic level. By persistently triggering the healing process, you encourage your body to continue healing until the job is finished.
In addition, it allows maximum absorption of your best wrinkle creams or any anti aging creams. Each rolling session stimulate collagen to reduce wrinkles and scars - like a mini-instant face lift. Even the best anti aging creams alone can't come close to the benefits of the roller.
There are many skin rollers on the market and with different needle length -- so it's important to chose the right one. Dermatologists, clinics, and spas use different types of rollers with different needle lengths ranging from 0.75mm to 2mm, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. However, needles of this length is best used by a skin care professional.
For Home Use you need to make sure that the skin roller you use is specifically made for personal use. It should be made of surgical grade steel and gamma sterilized for optimum results and safety. There are plenty of skin rollers out there but I only use and recommend the rollers listed below.

Even the stars of Hollywood are using cosmetic micro needling to give them a smooth and youthful glow. Maybe the most high profile showbiz personalities rumoured to have Micro Needling Roller therapy are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, as well as Felicity Huffman.
Derma Roller Care
After each use of any skin roller make sure to rinse well under hot water for a minute or two then dip it into a glass of rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to disinfect it.
After that -- lay the roller sideways on a towel and let it dry completely before putting it away. Make sure to lay it on it's side -- you don't want to dull the needles.....so be very careful that the needles don't touch any hard surface.

Acne Scar Treatment and Removal - Scars are formed because of tissue loss, and it's the lack of collagen in the skin which results in the scar being visible.
The effects are both physical and emotional, and are difficult to avoid if you're one of the unfortunate individuals prone to scarring.
The good news is that there are several ways of removing acne scars.
Make Stretch Marks Disappear - Highly recommended for removing pregnancy stretch marks.
Dermaroller for Cellulite - Over 90% of women have cellulite and cellulite has nothing to do with being overweight, and most average and underweight women have cellulite as well. Dermaroller therapy can be performed in the privacy of your own home and is less expensive than liposuction and mesotherapy.
Anti-Aging and Wrinkles - Looking young, healthy and fit is something we all strive for. You can replinish and stimulate the collagen you need in order to look younger.
It's true, and there's no need for expensive procedures or surgery. Using a dermaroller just a few nights a week can create a major impact on how you look.
Removing Scars - After a few dermaroller sessions you should notice the discoloration fading and the actual surface of the scar thickening. This happens as the skin tissue of the scars begins to match the skin that surrounds it.
