subject: Dermaroller: A Natural System For Revitalising The Skin [print this page] If you have skin problems such as acne scars, sun damage, hyperpigmentation or stretchmarks you may have been looking for ways to improving these conditions. Some of the available treatments rely on medically invasive procedures, such as hypodermic injections or laser treatments, or are too superficial to greatly improve the problem.
The Dermaroller relies for its effectiveness on the tried-and-tested technique of Microneedling, which is a method of improving the appearance and quality of the skin by puncturing it gently with many tiny needles to a depth of around a millimetre.
The beauty of this procedure is that the Microneedling stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely. The outcome can be that the skin becomes smoother, brighter, younger-looking and healthier.
The actual procedure involves first anaesthetising the skin using an anaesthetic cream followed before making several passes with a roller containing the microneedles. The procedure only takes a few minutes and is almost painless. For best results you may need several treatments with a short recovery period in between to allow the treatment to work its magic.
Although essentially a non-invasive treatment, it is still vital that this procedure is performed by a trained medical professional. Doctor Natasha Gilani provides the Dermaroller treatment through beauty clinics in Tunbridge Wells and Brighton.
