Skin Needling – Derma-Rollers – Micro Needling FAQ
Skin Needling or Micro-Needling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy which is intended to smooth wrinkles, improve depressed acne scarring as well as reduce the appearance of stretch marks. It is one the newest, easiest and most effective skin treatments available and is a process which can be carried out clinically or in the home. As the process gains awareness it is important to understand, what skin needling is, how it works and whether it is a suitable treatment for you.
QUESTION? What do scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin have in common?
ANSWER: A lack of collagen! If your body would produce more collagen then you wouldn’t get them. Using a Scientia Derma Roller offers nature a helping hand by encouraging collagen production in the skin, which helps prevent or reverse their formation.
What is Micro-Needling?
Micro needling is process carried out with a roller that is covered with numerous tiny needles. These needles penetrate the upper layers of skin to a depth of up to 2mm (depending on the needle length used). This process has two major benefits. It effectively stimulates collagen formation at the same time as providing a clear channel for topical gels and creams to be absorbed more effectively through the top layer (epidermis) of skin. Microneedling creates a very minor (almost microscopic) trauma which lasts for a short period of time and does not result in bruising or swelling or bleeding in the treated area in the way that chemical peels, laser therapy or microdermabrasion do.
How does Collagen Induction Therapy work
The microscopic punctures (which are often just the opening of the pores of your skin) stimulate collagen production in the dermis layer as it breaks some of the blood vessels directly below the surface of the skin. As the blood clots, it creates the right environment for collagen and elastin formation. It is these key ingredients which help the skin to appear rejuvenated.
Although this sounds drastic, the process happens on a microscopic level and the outward appearance of any trauma is negligible. In fact, when done in the home with rollers of shorter needle lengths, you only get a reddening of the skin which lasts for a few hours. Clinical use of skin needling involves the use of numbing agents on the skin, so that the treatment can be carried vigorously with minimal discomfort. The Scientia Derma Roller is intended for use at home and should be used far more gently over a period of time. In this way, it becomes part of your daily routine, produces the same great results but costs a fraction of the price of expensive clinical visits.
Alternatives to Skin Needling
There are several alternatives to Micro-Needling, most of which require visits to clinical beauticians or other specialists. These include laser therapy, Chemical Peels and Micro-Dermabrasion. Results from these processes do differ from one person to the next as everyone’s body reacts differently to each treatment. However, using a Scientia Dermaroller (or skin roller) is certainly far less invasive, has a far lesser risk of complications and is generally much cheaper. (Particularly when considering treatment at home).
Micro-Needling – Who is it for?
Micro-needling is a great choice for people who haven’t had success with any other type of treatment, for those who would prefer tackling their skin issues in the privacy of the home, or those who wish to achieve success without the hugely inflated cost of clinical visits.
Also bear in mind that the use of skin creams or oil products are greatly boosted by using a Scientia Derma Roller (skin needling roller) as the absorption rate of the skin is raised considerably through the channels which are created by skin needling through the epidermis.
