The Derma-Roller is a great new gadget which has the fantastic ability to encourage collagen production in the skin without damaging it by causing the skin to think that it is damaged even though it is not and so it starts to heal itself and will continue to heal until the treatment is stopped. This means that so long as the treatment is carried out regularly, your skin will heal itself to a cosmetic level. Skin needling has many beneficial out comes:

* Hair loss reduction
* Anti Ageing
* Anti Wrinkle
* Cellulite Removal
* Scar Treatment
* To remove stretch marks
* Hyper Pigmentation Treatment

The Dermaroller needles are often 1 millimeter long so giving you a tickling sensation when used. However, other sizes do exsist with the longer sizes such as 2mm upto about 5mm being used by professionals using numbing cream and more vigorous treatments with longer breaks in between treatments whereas using a smaller needle length at home can be done up to five times a week with two days rest.

It is not common knowledge, but many of the active ingredients in skin care products stays on top of your skin and are only partially absorbed. The Derma-roller has approx. 192 surgical steel micro-needles which part the pores of the top layer of the skin without damaging it. The pores close again around an hour later, however during that time, skin is much better able to absorb and benefit from skin creams and lotions.

The human body initiates the healing process when it believes it is injured to seal up the affected area, but usually it will only heal as far as it must to keep you healthy. By often initiating the healing process by using a Dermaroller to represent an injury to be repaired, you encourage your body to continue healing to a cosmetic level.
