Dermaroller treatment is a procedure of skin needling which stimulates the body to produce collagen. It is sometimes referred to as collagen induction or stimulation therapy. The treatment involves puncturing the skin with a roller containing a series of fine very sharp needles. Clinical studies have shown that this treatment is as effective as skin resurfacing using a fraxel or CO2 laser and high-grade chemical peels. The procedure is undertaken by a qualified practitioner, and uses a local anaesthetic cream.
This treatment is aimed at stimulating collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Evidence from clinical trials showed an increased reduction in skin scarring caused by acne, stretch marks, sun damage and uneven skin tone. Many practitioners have used this treatment for hair restoration in cases of alopecia (hair loss/thinning).
The procedure involves a medical grade roller used by a practitioner within the clinic. Treatment is then continued at home using a non-medical grade roller.
Most people require at least two treatments with the medical Dermaroller, usually six weeks apart. However, this will be discussed at your consultation.
