The Dermaroller Treatment provides advanced skin micro-surgical needling, a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.
How It Works
Dermaroller Treatment will use a Dermaroller medical device to produce thousands of microscopic needle-columns in the skin. Each column will penetrate into the dermis of the skin and will be approximately 0.1mm in width. The column will close rapidly enabling the skin to recover quickly - often in the same day. Your practitioner will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin making the procedure comfortable; it will normally take up to 30 minutes for the topical anaesthetic.
After a Dermaroller Treatment procedure your body will start to naturally regenerate and repair the skin, working below the surface in the dermis. This takes time as new collagen and elastin is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced. It can take up to 6 weeks before visible signs of regeneration and repair are seen and the process will continue over the following months, providing you with a gradual and long lasting enhancement.
In the treatment of acne scars and other types of scarring it may be necessary to extend your Dermaroller Treatment, depending on the case of the patient.
COLLAGEN INDUCTION TREATMENT
Although the mechanism of action with the Dermaroller is not totally explored, nevertheless the results for the improvement of skin structure and scars, especially acne scars, in over thousands cases speak a clear language. The procedure with the Dermaroller became standard expressions in scientific literature with the terms COLLAGEN INDUCTION TREATMENT and MICRO-NEEDLING.
DERMAROLLER A drum shaped roller stud with 192 fine micro-needles from 0.5 to 1.5 mm in length and 0.1 mm in diameter penetrate the dermis repeatedly for about 20 times. The skin cells react to these micro injuries and stimulation with the release of various growth factors. These in return stimulate the proliferation of undifferentiated cells and this reproduction results in NEO-COLLAGENESIS and NEO-ANGIOGENESIS. New tissue structures are generated in forms of elastin- and collagen fibers as well as new capillaries. They integrate into the existing upper dermal layer without any fibrotic traces.
DERMAROLLER on STRETCH MARKS
Stretch marks are caused by skin stretching during rapid growth in puberty and pregnancy. About 80% of all pregnant women are experiencing stretch marks. This over stretching results in skin ruptures that finally transform into scars. New stretch marks appear like reddish to purple irregular lines and gradually fade to white or silverish color, and they are permanent. By touching they appear softer than the surrounding tissue. Glucocorticoid hormones are responsible for striae. They prevent the transformation of fibroblasts into collagen- and elastin fibers.
Although stretch marks do not compromise the body’s function, in many cases it can be an aesthetic disfigurement and may often lead into psychological depressions.
So far the cure of stretch marks has been “very difficult”, and the improvement with creams or laser is very limited.
Based on the fact that the Dermaroller's Microneedling stimulates cell regeneration and proliferation of fibroblasts in a dramatic amount, several physicians started in 2007 to use the Dermaroller to treat stretch marks. The results were beyond expectations and on a recent symposium Dr. Scalvini, Milano University in Italy, predicted that Dermarolling stretch marks will result in a success rate of 80 to 90%.
This is more evidence that the Collagen-Induction-Therapy is the best choice to improve your skin. Unlike any ablative method (dermabrasion, Co2 laser, etc.) there is no risk of pigment loss, especially on darker skin.
The treatment is simple. After application of a numbing cream on the affected skin, the pain free procedure lasts about 20 minutes. There is no post-op pain and ZERO down time.
DERMAROLLER ON ACNE SCAR TREATMENT
A new and effective ALTERNATIVE in acne scar therapy.
About ACNE
“Acne is a common disorder experienced by up to 80% of people between 11 and 30 years of age. For most patients acne remains a nuisance. For other less fortunate persons, the severe inflammatory response to bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) results in permanent disfiguring scars. Stigma of severe acne can lead to social ostracism, withdrawal from society, and severe psychologic depression.” (Carolyn I. Jacob et al, 2001, Acne scarring).
About ACNE SCARS
Scars are wound closures by the body's own connective tissue, so-called fibrosis. Depending on their formation, extension and localization scars can be very painful – even for many years. Especially visible scars, such as ACNE SCARS, are an aesthetic disfigurement. So far the medical school of thought for scar treatment is clear: “VERY DIFFICULT”! Or in simple words: There is no effective therapy for all scar types. - But this was yesterday!
HOW DOES THE DERMAROLLER WORK ON SCARS?
MECHANISM of ACTION IN SCAR TREATMENT
Fine microneedles perforate the scar tissue. The physician will notice a higher resistance when the needles penetrate the hard scar tissue. Also the patient can notice a slight cracking noise when the needles penetrate the scar tissue.
After a sufficient perforation (about 15 to 20 passes over the scar) very fine petechiae (blood spots, but no bleeding) will be visible on the skin.
Only a few days after the treatment NEW fibroblasts and capillaries will migrate through the punctured scar tissue. Both processes result in new tissue formation to “fill” the former atrophic scar and new capillaries result in a significant better blood supply that in return results in an improved re-pigmentation.
The COLLAGEN INDUCTION TREATMENT by DERMAROLLER or MICRONEEDLING will in general result in an improvement of 70 – 80%. Anything else above should be considered as a bonus. As collagen fibers and new capillaries need time to mature, we strongly recommend not to become impatient. Treatments should be separated by at least 6 weeks or more.
AFTER 1 TREATMENT OF DERMAROLLER
DERMAROLLER on WRINKLES
The first signs of aging skin are in general the formation of fine lines, especially around the eyes and upper lip. The scale layers of the epidermis become thinner and harder and its previous transparency starts to fade. The dermis is loosing its elasticity by degrading elastin- and hardening collagen fibers. The cells of the sub dermal tissue start to shrink. And in addition the skin faces a dramatic moisture loss. All these factors form the degrading process of our skin.
What can be done to stop this degradation? The answer is cell regeneration! This can be achieved with the Collagen-Induction-Therapy (CIT). The CIT is a simple procedure by microneedling the skin with the medical Dermaroller. It is absolutely effective and stimulates new collagen cells that boost your skin by remodeling the structure of dermis and epidermis.
According to the individual skin condition, 1 to 3 procedures, separated by 4 to 6 weeks, are sufficient to resurface the skin. As aging continues, we recommend one refresher-CIT every year. Between the CITs and after the last one, you can support the results of the CIT by using the Home Care Dermaroller in combination with high-end peptide serums.
Advice: As sunrays trigger free radicals - the worst enemies of your skin cells - avoid direct sun exposure!!!
AFTER 1 TREATMENT
DERMAROLLER on HYPER PIGMENTATION
Hyper pigmentation is a melanin concentration, often associated with scars, acne scars and other skin lesions. They are more profound on darker skin.
The dark spots in general respond very well to a Collagen Induction Treatment Usually 1 to 2 procedures are required to bring your skin back to a normal and even pigmentation. The spots disappear and do not return - unless the skin is mistreated.
