Enhance the penetration of skin care or hair growth products:

Maximum 0.3 mm needle length on the face and 0.5 mm on skin on the rest of the body. Our skin – a protective organ – is almost unpermeable. Derma rolling temporarily enables the absorption of skin care products into the skin.

Fine wrinkles: 1 to 1.5 mm needle length. This is a relatively minor procedure and can be done safely at home, provided you disinfect properly. Derma rolling is a safe alternative for people with skin too thin to have laser treatment.

Glabella wrinkles (between the eyebrows) and deep forehead wrinkles: Use our single needle instrument.

Loose skin: 1.5 mm. You can improve loose skin anywhere on the body including the neck, the décolleté, the back of the hands, arms, abdomen, thighs etc. In the early stages of skin laxity, it can postpone or even replace a facelift. Sensitive areas with thin skin such as the neck need only 0.5 mm.

Sun damaged or aging skin: 1.0 to 1,5 mm.

Uneven pigmentation or acne spots: 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm (not to be used on moles!).

Scars: All scar treatment requires a derma roller with 1.5 mm needles and benefit greatly from our single needle instrument to locally crush the scar tissue deeper and with a greater prick density. Look at some single needle results.

Stretchmarks:  Become less indented, less wide and the original skin color may be partially restored.

0.20 or 0.25 mm long needles:

Put the skin care product on your skin, then roll it in with the derma roller. Alternatively, you can first roll the skin and then apply the skin care product.

0.5 mm and above:

Take a shower or wash the to-be-rolled area.

Wipe the rolling environment (table etc) with alcohol.

Wipe the skin and your hands with disinfecting alcohol. Alcohol will evapo-rate in a few minutes.

If you like, apply an ice-pack or numbing cream. Remove the numbing cream with alcohol before rolling.

When using ice-packs, clean them with alcohol before applying.

When rolling, stretch the skin by pulling it with your other hand – it will make needle penetration much easier.

Roll in a star pattern: maximum five times horizontally, 5 times vertically, 5 times diagonally. Roll the derma roller around five times in each direction. Back and forth equals two rolls. Lift the derma roller slightly or change the angle of rolling and move back to the beginning. This ensures that you will not hit the same prick channel. Use medium pressure – but very light pressure around your eyes, especially with needles longer than 0.5 mm!

Try to spread the pricks evenly. You could first only roll the entire skin area horizontally, when you’ve covered all skin that you want to treat, you roll vertically, and finally diagonally (across). Use whatever technique you are comfortable with, as long as it spreads the number of pricks per sq. inch / cm2 more or less evenly.

If you roll with 0.5 mm needles or shorter, no special after care is needed.

If you roll with needles longer than 0.5 mm, the skin will turn red (like sunburn), sensitive and might get slightly swollen for several hours. Keep the area moist. For the first couple of days, the best choice is to cover the area with a very thin layer of an occlusive ointment that contains vit. A. and D.  Do not expose the rolled areas to the sun for several days and thereafter, use a sunscreen lotion with a high protective factor. Wait two or three days with applying make=up as well.

The rolled area might start “peeling” after some days. Don’t pick at the loose skin.

Collagen production is a very slow process and it can’t be rushed. Do not expect miracles too soon. It can take up to 10 months to get substantial results.
