Dermaroller

The Benefits of a Professional Dermaroller or Home Dermaroller Device.

A dermaroller is a lightweight tool consisting of a handle with a small barrel attached, covered in tiny needles. The needles range from titanium to surgical grade stainless steel. It is extremely important that they should arrive in a sturdy sterile packaging. The quality of your roller is extremely important, please don’t be tempted to purchase a cheap device, safety and efficacy first! 

Home-use rollers start at 0.2-0.3mm, with professional rollers being 1mm for a face treatment. The epidermis on the face varies in thickness from approximately 0.5mm (eyelids) – 1.5mm; therefore your professional roller is able to penetrate the skin somewhere around the basal junction, possibly slightly deeper. As there are no blood vessels present in the epidermis but pinprick bleeding may occur during the professional rolling process when contact is made with the upper dermis. 

A professional dermaroller treatment is intended to cause a degree of trauma to the skin. This trauma stimulates new collagen cells in abundance.                               

The ageing process, low body weight, regular intense exercise, smoking, drinking, diet and the environment all impacts collagen and elastin in your skin. 

The Dermaroller creates 1000’s of minor pinprick wounds to the skin which then begins to heal itself. A wound heals in three 3 stages:

1.Inflammation (erythema, oedema and the release of growth factors)

2.Proliferation (fibroblast stimulation, creating new collagen cells)

3.Tissue remodelling (collagen continues to build and contraction takes place)

Having created 1000s of these micro channels we can optimize this treatment by flooding the skin with active ingredients, which will work at a cellular level and be at their most efficacious. By adding these serums greater results can be achieved.

The home dermaroller is pain free but you may experience a tingling sensation and you will notice a high pink complexion which only lasts for a few hours. 

The professional Dermaroller treatment is certainly not pain free (ample numbing cream is applied prior to treatment), it does offer a more economical solution to some other ablative therapies. It has limited exclusionaries/contraindications, very limited downtime, and when delivered safely no side effects. It is an ideal treatment for:

• Pitted acne scarring

Invest in your skin with professional skincare.

Like anything in life you pay for what you get. Professional skin care comes at a premium price because of the time and research invested into the product.

Clients ask me why my products are more expensive than the ones they can buy at the local chemist. This is simple as I know for a FACT that salon products have higher quality ingredients- guaranteeing results. Established brands take care and pride in delivering beautiful quality products and say what they do on the label.

It makes me so cross when I read bad press about the beauty industry because of false hopes given from large commercial companies, who spend more on marketing their brand than the quality of their product. They ruin all the hard work and dedication that so many skincare companies put into producing their products.

 I recently met an inspirational and devoted pharmacist at the Excel Beauty Show, who grows and manufactures his own products in Greece, the quality was so high I was able to eat the ingredients. What more can I say- feed your skin with quality like your body and respect the skincare companies that want to look after your skin for you. Choose a brand that has integrity and vision.
