A derma roller is a skin treatment tool that consists of a roller with fine needles attached to it. The roller is used to make tiny punctures in the skin, which stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. Here is a general outline of the procedure:
Cleanse: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities.
Sanitize: The derma roller is sanitized with an alcohol solution to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Apply numbing cream (optional): A numbing cream can be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Roll: The derma roller is rolled over the targeted areas of the skin in a back-and-forth motion, applying gentle pressure.
Apply serum: A hydrating serum or other skin treatment product can be applied to the skin to enhance the effects of the derma roller.
Post-treatment: A moisturizing cream or ointment may be applied to the skin to hydrate and soothe it, and a sunblock is recommended to protect the skin from further damage.
Follow-up: A follow-up appointment is scheduled to assess the results and determine if further treatments are necessary.
It’s important to note that the length and thickness of the needles will vary based on the individual’s skin type and the desired results. It’s also important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by the practitioner and to avoid sun exposure until the skin has fully healed. It’s also recommended to avoid using the derma roller at home without proper training and supervision.
