Why derma needling is so beneficial for your skin

Suppose you want to smooth out the skin’s texture, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen growth, improve skin tone, and increase product penetration 80% more (compared to just 7-10% with regular topical application ). In that case, needling the skin is for you.

Derma needling is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy ( CIT ). Different devices can be used to needle the skin; you can find rollers, stamps, and electronic devices such as micro-needling pens. The purpose of these devices is the same: to generate a controlled injury in the skin so the skin’s healing response will increase collagen and elastin production faster. Collagen is responsible for the plumpness and firmness of the skin.

You should know a few things when buying a home roller device. The first thing you want to look for is the needle material; needles can be made of titanium or stainless steel, and some are even coated with gold. The number of needles might vary depending on whether the roller is for the face or the body. Needle length is significant because this will indicate the depth of the penetration, giving you the desired results. 0.2-0.3 mm are considered cosmetic rollers, and 0.5-3.0 mm are clinical rollers. Rollers can last up to 3 years, depending on the roller's quality and care of the roller, and yes, some of them can be pricey; the better the quality, the fewer risks of undesired scaring and adverse reactions.

Preparing the skin and technique is very important. Ensure your skin is clean, divide your face into sections, and roll in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions to cover every part of the face. Once the needling is completed, apply products with active ingredients like peptides and vitamins A, C, and E. This treatment can be repeated two to seven times per week. Depending on the area to be treated, this treatment can take 5 to 20 minutes; rolling the skin at night is advised. That way, the redness will be gone when you wake up the next day.
