Hearing lots of talk about Derma Rollers and Micro Needling but not exactly sure on what either of those things are or what they can do for you?
We hear you, in fact we have been listening to women and furiously jotting down their questions about Derma Rollers and Skincare in general to make sure we are on point with our products.
So get comfortable and read on for literally everything you need to know about Derma Rolling, including if they are suitable for your skin type and how often you should be using one.
Derma Rollers are non-invasive, hand held tools that roll across the skin’s surface, puncturing it with hundreds of tiny micro needles (540 to be exact)
micro fine needles that are around 0.3 mm. These micro-wounds prompt the body to send skin-protecting molecules like collagen to the skins surface. This rush of skin-supporting building blocks boosts complexion, reduces the appearance of scars, and smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (amongst countless other benefits we’ll get to).
Derma Rolling boosts absorption and delivery of products used on the skin’s surface. Though the skin is capable of absorbing some of what we lather onto its surface, at-home derma rollers with needles less than 0.15mm have recently been proven to help deliver substances like lipopeptides and additional anti-aging compounds to lower layers of the skin. This deep-reaching potential of micro needling boosts the impact of topical products (but also means we’ll want to ensure we use suitable, high-quality serums on our skin post-rolling.)
Studies show that the use of the Derma Roller helps to:Derma Rolling is a complexion-boosting, anti-aging skin technique that offers real results by promoting the skin’s innate intelligence, making chemical procedures like fillers and Botox a thing of the past. By boosting the skin’s own production of collagen, fine lines and wrinkles are diminished and the skin’s appearance resumes a healthy, vibrant glow. It’s basically that simple, and yet the easy-to-use derma roller really does hold the power to change your skin completely (and safely).
We hear you, It seems like a big promise, leaving many to wonder, “Can a self-applied skin technique really be that effective?” Thanks to modern day technology, yes, it certainly can be. It’s no secret that the world is changing faster than it ever has before due to a continuously expanding body of knowledge in the fields of science and technology. The applications of such research are vast, and skincare applications are no exception. With more people prioritising convenience, opting for natural solutions, and doing their own research, beauty brands are evolving quickly to meet demand. The result? New products that take a different approach. Enter the Derma Roller.
Botox and fillers work on a pay-per-treatment basis, of course; in contrast, opting for an at-home derma roller is an investment with a longer lifeline. With a price tag that doesn’t come near the price of costly injections and 13-15 uses per roller, derma rolling offers a much more attractive and sustainable return on investment.
Sometimes, our skin already glows, but it’s the presence of stubborn scars and signs of aging that keep us from recognising and revelling in our true beauty. Through creating tiny micro-wounds, the derma roller stimulates the body’s natural healing response and in doing so, helps to reduce the appearance of scars and steadfast marks. As new growth is stimulated and collagen rushes to the surface, our complexion improves and signs of fine lines and scars diminish. The derma roller also helps to break down scar tissue making it great for acne scars, contributing to the natural healing process.
Psst, want some extra tips for a supreme glow? Well, as incredible as this sleek and spiky tool is, we can boost the appearance of our skin even further by nourishing it from the inside out as well. Make hydration a priority (both topically and orally) and ensure that you’re getting plenty of healthy fats and essential fatty acids in your diet. Foods like wild salmon, walnuts, and avocados will help you to get your glow on from within.
