| What is the Dermaroller™? |
The Dermaroller™ is a cylindrical shaped drum stud with very fine needles. It is a medical device that works by producing thousands of microscopic needle columns in the dermis of the skin to stimulate the skins cells to multiply.
This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of collagen and elastin fibres as well as new capillaries for improved blood supply. This procedure is called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).

How often do I need treatments?
|
For Collagen Induction Therapy we recommend to start with three treatments with a minimum separation time between treatments of six to eight weeks.
To see a permanent improvement by 70% or more with acne scars an average of three to five procedures is required. The Dermaroller can be used on all skin parts of the body.

Does it hurt and are there any side effects?
|
Prior to the treatment, the skin is cleaned and numbed with an appropriate numbing cream. The skin is thoroughly needled in such a way that each skin part is needed about 15-20 times.
Since the tiny pricking channels close within minutes very little discomfort is felt and the risk of infection is highly unlikely.
There are virtually no negative side effects, and none have ever been reported in over 150,000 procedures performed worldwide.

| What are the effects on the skin? |
- Improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles
- Stimulates tissue regeneration
- Disfiguring scars, especially acne scars can be dramatically improved as new collagen fibres elevate the depressed scar tissue
- Improved blood supply into the previous scar tissue harmonises pigmentation with the periphery skin
- Pore size reduction
- Improved appearance of stretch marks.
|
| Who can have the procedure? |
Suitable for all skin types and skin tones, the Dermaroller™ itself is a single-use tool for application only by a medical practitioner. We are thrilled to announce our own Dr. Joseph has been appointed as a trainer for this new technology.
