How does it work?
Dermaroller is a small micro-needling device, which is gently rolled over the area of skin being treated. The concept of collagen induction therapy is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns or other abrasions.
Skin-needling creates micro-injuries to the skin, which trigger new collagen synthesis, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother firmer and younger looking skin. Results can be quite spectacular. Your skin will continue to improve over the months that follow, as collagen will be constantly renewed!
Is it safe?
Yes.
Does it hurt?
No. We apply a topical anaesthetic cream on the skin to completely numb the treated area.
What does the process involve?
You will be invited for a consultation where your Dermis Clinic practioner will explain the process and answer any questions you have. Then we will numb the area with topical anesthetic cream. Once this has taken effect, the treatment will begin. You will then be given aftercare advice.
How many treatments will I need?
We recommend a course of three treatments (every 4-6 weeks).
Is the procedure suitable for everyone?
Dermaroller treatment is suitable for all skin types and complexions. However there are some medical conditions which prohibit the use of dermaroller, this will be checked and discussed during your consultation. All side effects and contraindications will be explained during your consultation before you receive your treatment. – Please note dermaroller is unsuitable for pregnant/breastfeeding women.
