Microneedling, often referred to as dermarolling or collagen induction therapy, is a procedure in which thousands of tiny little needles are inserted into the surface of your skin via a rolling or stamping device. This procedure helps to improve the appearance of lines & wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation & age spots, acne scars, stretch marks & cellulite, uneven skin tone
and smoothes skin texture.
Dermarolling works by creating microscopic wounds that induce collagen and elastin production. When the dermaroller is rolled over the skin, the small, fine needles on the roller puncture the skin. When the skin is punctured, this creates a controlled skin injury, but does not cause actual damage to the outer layer of skin. It's a painless process so don't let all the tiny needles scare you.
The needles help to break down any scar tissue, and the controlled injuries to the skin lead to superficial bleeding. This triggers the body’s wound healing response, and the skin releasing substances that stimulate growth, new blood vessels form in the skin and 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. This helps the skin to become firmer and may reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
