Derma-roller – How Does It Work?
The Derma-roller is a fantastic new beauty product which has the amazing ability to naturally encourages collagen production without damaging the skin by causing the skin to believe 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 Treatment
* Anti Ageing
* Anti Wrinkle
* Cellulite Reduction
* Acne Scar Treatment
* Removal of Stretch marks
* Hyper Pigmentation Treatment
The needle length on a Derma roller is mainly only 1mm long so all you feel is a tickling sensation when the Derma roller is 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.
Not many people realize it, but many of the active ingredients found in your chosen skin care products remains on the surface of your skin and are only partially absorbed. The Derma roller has approx. 192 surgical steel micro-needles which can part the pores of the epidermis without damaging it. After about one hour the pores close again, but during that time, your skin is significantly better able to absorb and benefit from skin creams and lotions.
The skin reacts to any injury by initiating the healing process to seal up the affected area, but it generally only heals enough to keep you healthy. By often triggering the healing process by using a Derma roller to represent a trauma to be healed, you encourage your body to continue healing until the job is finished.
