subject: Use The Dera Roller To Iron Out Scars [print this page] If you have skin problems such as a scar, stretch marks or those dreaded wrinkles, then I think you might find what I have to say very helpful!
I recently came across this small instrument to roll away marked or wrinkles skin. So I bought one and am currently 'testing' it out, it's still early days but so far so good.
What Is The Derma Roller?
Skin needling is an ancient skin needling tool which gently pricks the top layer of your skin, it doesn't hurt and you won't bleed.
The roller has 190 mirco-needles standing 1 millimetre long. Depending on your skin problem, you can get different sized needles.
Acne scars are very problematic, therefore you might need longer needles as these will perforate the skin in more depth giving more rejuvenation.
What Does Rejuvenating The Skin Mean?
You need to get rid of the top layer of your skin, this is called the epidermis. The top layer of your skin automatically 'rejuvenates' itself anyway approximately every 30 days or so.
Have you come across the expression 'shedd your skin'? This means your skin is rejuvenating, i.e. the top dead skin cells drop off and new fresh ones are replaced. However, if you have scars, wrinkles of stretch marks then this area of skin makes it harder to rejuvenate.
This is where the derma roller comes in as it helps to rejuvenate your skin layers at a deeper level and at a faster pace.
What Does Skin Needling Do For You
As we have just read, skin needling gently pricks your epidermis. This then starts the process where extra collagen is produced.What is going on here is that you have now damaged your epidermis, your collagen starts working in overdrive to help replace those damaged skin cells.
If you are following me here, you should realise that by using the derma roller 3/4 times a week, this results in your skin 'renewing' itself 3/4 times a week. Therefore, your wrinkles/scar tissue will eventually be shed and replaced with new plump skin cells.
