I love this little needle roller! Being an Esthetician, I am always trying new techniques for my aging skin. I want results, and I want results quick! This technique delivers!
This is a treatment you can do at home that is easy, painless and is incredibly effective in treating just about every skin issue.
Fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, skin texture, scars, pore size, pigment issues, and acne can all be treated with a micro-needling treatment.
Honestly after one treatment, the next day my skin looked so much better because of the collagen stimulation. I’ve been hooked ever since!
How does micro-needling work on your skin?
The Dermaroller is a handheld device that is covered in tiny fine needles. When rolled on the skin it creates tiny micro-injuries on the top layer of the skin. Sounds scary? It’s not. It really is painless and the results are amazing!
The skin reacts with a natural healing process resulting in cell turnover, which increases collagen and elastin production. Signs of aging are reversed and future aging is slowed down or halted. You look natural but better because of the increased collagen. Collagen is everything when it comes to aging skin. We need more of it!
After a couple of treatments, you will notice a difference in lines, crows feet and those deep wrinkles on the forehead. With larger pores, you are stimulating collagen around the pores, which causes them to appear smaller. Who doesn’t want that?!
Some doctors are saying that micro-needling can stop aging in its tracks! I will take it! It works in a similar way to a laser treatment on your skin without the heat or light. Or the cost!
Another great plus with this treatment is you are going to boost up the absorption of your products when applied to the skin. Your products will work more deeply, which results in quicker results!
The roller is not exclusive to the face! You can use it on the body on stretch marks, acne scars, legs, chest, back, etc. I haven’t tried it on the body yet, but I’m definitely going to!
Roller ready!
Get your roller! I bought one from Amazon. There are a lot to choose from! So read reviews. There are different size needles also. I got the 0.25mm one. Nice middle range. After doing a lot of research this is the size recommended for home use with great results.
Roller pattern on the face
- Cleanse the skin. Make sure skin is dried well
- Apply serum if you want
- Use the roller gently. You will feel it, but it shouldn’t hurt!
- Vertical / Horizontal / Diagonal pattern
- 2 vertical, 2 horizontal, 2 diagonal passes on a section of the face. Move to the next area. You can do this 2 to 4 times.
- I always start at the forehead, but you don’t have to. Just make sure you are covering the whole face. You will develop your own pattern that you are comfortable with.
- The whole process should take 5 minutes or less
How often to use?
Start with once a week, and work up to 3 to 5x a week. You will get a little pink and that’s normal. When you are first starting out your roller head should last about 3 months. If you are using it very regularly, it is advised to get a new roller head monthly. Or just buy the entire Dermaroller.
Results?
Amazing results!
You should see results in 48 to 72 hours. You may also see results in 24 hours! I always use it at night, and then wake up to tighter, firmer skin! The results are long-lasting because you are always creating new collagen with this device. You are going to love it!
Cleaning your roller
Sterilize with alcohol. I spray the needles and spin the roller. Just make sure it’s dry before you put it back in its case. (Always use a case to protect it)
Are you excited to try this?!! We all want to look better, naturally! The Dermaroller device with micro-needles will give you those results that I know you are going to love! So get rolling!!
Until next time,
