What is derma rolling?

We have introduced many newbies to the wonderful benefits of using a derma roller for the face and body, whether you want to help heal acne scars, or improve the texture and tone of your skin. 

A derma roller is a handheld device that can be used at home, so you can enjoy the benefits without having to pay for expensive treatment in a salon. 

The device has stainless steel microsurgical needles that penetrate the skin's surface to promote repair from the inside. 

The needles create microscopic holes in the skin whch boosts the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, increased collagen and elastin will help you look younger, fresher and help heal a range of skin problems. 

Different sized needles are used for different skin concerns. For instance, derma roller 1.5mm needles are best used in the treatment of deep scarring and stretch marks. 1mm needles are best for lines and wrinkles, 0.5mm for fine lines and hyperpigmentation, while 0.25mm improves the absorbtion of skincare products. 

Benefits of using derma rollers in the UK

One of the biggest benefits to microneedling at home is the amount of money you can save. Treatment in salons is expensive, on average £250 a session! So by purchasing a derma roller in the UK to use at home, you can save thousands of pounds over the lifetime of the device.

Read on to find out about just a few of the many benefits of using a derma roller for face and skin problems. 

Acne scars

You can use a derma roller for acne scars to great effect. Most acne scars are actually caused by collagen loss and by using a derma roller, you can improve them significantly in the comfort of your own home with a course of treatment. 

Dermaroller 1mm needles work best for shallow to moderate acne scars. When using a derma roller for acne scars that are moderate to deep, 1.5mm needles will be more effective. 

Enlarged pores

You can undergo microneedling at home to good effect to treat enlarged pores. We recommend using needles between 0.5mm and 1.0mm.

Discolouration of the skin

If you suffer from skin discolouration (hyperpigmentation), you can treat it at home with derma rollers. UK rollers with 0.5mm to 1.0mm needles should be used, starting with the smallest and working up.

Stretch Marks and Scars

Stretch marks and scars are generally caused by abnormal skin tissue that is formed following the healing of a wound. The derma roller works to reduce scars by breaking down the scarring, allowing new healthy skin cells to grow. You can get rid of stretch marks and scars using the 1.5mm needle derma roller. 

Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but it is possible to delay them. Wrinkles appear due to less collagen and elastin being produced as we grow older, which leads to the skin being thinner. The derma roller tricks the body into producing new elastin and collagen and this smooths out the wrinkles. 

Getting rid of wrinkles is the number one use of derma rollers in the UK. To reduce the appearnce of fine lines and wrinkles, fend off the dreaded wrinkles you should use needles between 0.5mm to 1.5mm.

How to use your dermaroller

The best derma roller in the UK comes with needles of different sizes. This means the device is suitable for different needs. 

It is relatively easy to use your derma roller kit for effective microneedling at home. Just follow the steps below.

1. Disinfect your device by allowing it to soak in 70% isopropyl alcohol for around 10 minutes
2. Cleanse your face thoroughly with a pH balanced cleanser
3. Apply anaesthetic cream if required
4. Roll the device over the skin of the face in one direction, horizontally or vertically, 6 to 8 times being sure to lift the device from the skin following each pass
5. Go back over the area in the opposite direction.
6. You should aim to roll each area 12 to 16 times in total, horizontally and vertically. 
7. After dermarolling wash your face gently with water
8. Finally, clean your derma roller with soapy water then disinfect it and store it away.
