What is a Derma Roller?
It is a cosmetic tool, a roller filled with serrated needles measured in millimeters, used for the face, body, and scalp. It is a medically approved device. The derma roller stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin. Collagen is essential as it is the basic component or protein of skin tissues. It helps in cell regeneration and treats stretch marks caused by obesity or pregnancy. The derma roller is easy to use and affordable. It is one of the treatments for skin radiance and therapy.
It is a handheld device with a roller head that has tiny needles of various sizes. You choose the size that suits the body area you are treating. The frequency of derma roller use depends on your skin type and condition. It stimulates collagen, helping you regain your youth.
How the Derma Roller works:
The derma roller is passed over the skin in specific directions and in a particular manner. When passed over the skin, it creates tiny punctures that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. It is worth noting that a derma roller for the face typically contains about 540 needles. People's tolerance to the pricking varies, and it is recommended to apply a numbing cream (optional) about half an hour beforehand to reduce pain. Initial sessions should use small needle sizes (0.25mm or 0.5mm). It is important to mention that derma roller treatment is very safe and has no harmful effects on the skin, although some redness, and sometimes swelling or puffiness, may occur after sessions, which quickly subsides.
How to choose the right size for me: -
The derma roller tool comes in several sizes (0.25 – 0.5 – 1 – 1.5 mm)
If it is your first time, use the 0.5mm size. You will find it suitable, especially if you are doing it yourself without going to a beauty salon, to avoid skin irritation or any side effects. The 1mm size is the most common because it suits all skin types.
For the body, cellulite marks, and deep scars, you can use the 1.5mm size.
