What is Derma Rolling?
Derma Rolling is a process that involves using veeeeeeeery fine needles to puncture thousands of tiny holes into the skin for the purpose of rejuvenation (sounds painful, it’s really not) The most popular type of device is known as a Derma Roller and is made up of hundreds (540 to be exact) micro fine needles that are around 2.5mm. These tiny pin pricks gently penetrate the skin surface to kick start collagen production, more on that in a moment…
How Does Derma Rolling work?
Derma Rolling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. By using the derma roller and it army of tiny needles, you are causing a slight injury to the skin. The skin responds by repairing itself and making new collagen-rich tissue that is more even in tone and texture. What skin conditions does Derma Rolling work on?Derma Rolling treats everything from wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and dull skin to fine lines and acne scars.
Chronic pain that continues after an injury should have healed is often the result of a stalled healing process. PRP can reactivate the body’s healing cycle and complete the process. When it’s used for recent injuries, PRP can reduce healing time.
Does Derma Rolling hurt?
You will feel a slight tingle when using the roller (remember you are gently rolling the needles over your skin) After you are done, your face might feel hot, just like sunburn. If you have sensitive skin, you may feel slightly sore after. Because Micro Needling is non invasive, there is no downtime. We suggest you Derma Roll in the evening and apply your nightly skin care routine (don’t apply make up immediately after Derma Rolling)
Are there any side effects from Derma Rolling?
The most common side effect is minor skin irritation (it will feel like sunburn for most people) You might also seem some redness for a few days. If you are are pregnant or have certain skin conditions (like eczema of psoriasis) or have open wounds/scars you should consult your doctor before Derma Rolling.

Patience is key! Your follicles are living tissues that grow in a cycle, so rest assured that you’ll be seeing new hair growth over a few months after your surgery.
