What is a dermaroller?
A derma roller is a skincare handheld face-roller device consisting of a handle on one end which is accompanied by a roller with a large number of micro-needles on the other.
How it work?
As we just read, a derma roller is a device that is rolled onto the skin in order to cure various skin problems. But how exactly does that happen?
The device is rolled onto to skin so as to puncture it. However, these holes are really tiny and considered to be superficial, which in turn doesn’t make this treatment invasive. The puncturing of the skin leads to the creation of a controlled skin injury. This injury doesn’t cause any damage to the outer layer of the skin.
The controlled injuries to the skin lead to superficial bleeding. This triggers the body’s wound healing response, and the following occurs:
- The skin releases substances that stimulate growth
- New blood vessels form in the skin
- The skin starts to make more collagen
Over the next 5 days, the collagen produced by the body is deposited in the area of treated skin.
Being a process involving short-term wounding may frighten many, but the results from the same strengthen the skin and makes it firmer more than ever.
Dermaroller treatment is used to cure the following problems-
- Loss of skin firmness
- Appearance of fine lines
- Start of wrinkles
- Skin rejuvenation
- For open pores
- Superficial scarring
