Dermaroller

This is the latest and one of the most effective methods to smooth wrinkles and acne scar spots; treat pregnancy stretch marks; to enhance skin firmness and flexibility. How can a single method treat different problems? What do they have in common? – The lack of collagen!

The Dermaroller treatment naturally encourages your body’s own collagen production in the areas it is applied. It helps to prevent or even reverse the process with collagen loss.

What is dermaroller or collagen induction therapy?

This therapy is performed by a roller that has several microneedles on it. Depending on the roller and skin problem the microneedles pierce the skin 0,5-2,2 mm deep according to the length of the microneedles.

Why is it good for us?

Because dermaroller therapy increases effectively the production of collagen. The needles „break up” the old collagen bands that anchor the wrinkles, sunk in scars and strias.

How does this therapy work?

These microwounds start the body’s own collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. The microneedles of Dermaroller pierce the skin but they don’t remove the superficial layer of the skin as during a laser face lift. So the healing period is much shorter. As soon as the skin swells a little the punctures of the microneedles start healing immediately. It starts the body’s excellent healing process producing new elastic fibres. The procedure may last for 6 months.

How long does the healing last?

Depending on the length of the microneedles (in accordance with the depth of the wrinkles, scars) it takes 12-48 hours.

What parts of the body can Dermaroller be used on?

Anywhere, like the face, arms, neck, below the eyes, abdomen, chest, thighs, buttocks, hand, fingers, etc.
