A derma roller might be your solution. This simple beauty tool helps boost cell turnover, smooth fine lines, reduce dark spots, and clear up breakouts. By creating micro-channels in the skin, it improves the absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness. Here’s how it works and why you should consider adding it to your routine.
What is a Derma Roller?
A derma roller is a device with tiny needles that create microscopic punctures on your skin. These tiny channels allow skincare products to penetrate deeper, increasing their effectiveness. We recommend a 0.25mm needle length for safe, at-home use.
Benefits of Using a Derma Roller
- Smooth Fine Lines: Boosts collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Even Skin Texture: Helps treat acne scars and dark spots by stimulating collagen production.
- Boosts Product Absorption: Enhances the effectiveness of serums and moisturisers.
- Improves Skin Tone: Helps reduce hyperpigmentation by removing dead skin cells.
- Promotes Cell Renewal: Speeds up skin cell turnover for fresher, younger-looking skin.
Is a Derma Roller Right for You?
Suitable for all skin types, but if you have sensitive skin, stick to a 0.25mm needle to minimise irritation. Use it gently around the eyes and on other areas like the forehead and cheeks. For deeper scarring or significant pigmentation issues, consult a skin clinic for professional treatment. An Aesthetics Rx Derma Roller is a great choice.
How to Use a Derma Roller
- Cleanse your face thoroughly.
- Roll the derma roller gently in small sections.
- Apply your favourite serum or moisturiser after rolling.
- Clean the derma roller with warm water and disinfect it with 70% Isopropyl alcohol.
- Always wear sunscreen after use to protect your skin from UV damage.
You can use a 0.25mm derma roller up to three times a week. Replace your roller every 6-8 weeks.
Tips for Choosing the Right Derma Roller
- Stick to 0.25mm needles: Longer needles can cause injury and should be used only by professionals.
- Opt for surgical-grade stainless steel: These are the safest and most durable.
- Choose a trusted brand: Invest in a quality roller from reputable brands like Aesthetics Rx®.
FAQ’s
How often should I use my derma roller?
