Dermarollers can be found all over asia, but are only just gaining recognition in Western Europe and the USA. They are a simple device which help with lot’s of skin problems including stretch mark removal, acne scar reduction and wrinkle formations. It does this by boosting the levels of collagen found in the affected area.

Every Derma Roller has hundreds of very small micro needles which create minute trauma to the Dermis and Epidermis layers of skin. In response, the skin automatically begins producing collagen. This is the normal “healing” reaction which the skin begins because it presumes that physical damage has been caused by the needles on the dermaroller.

Because the needles are so tiny, no actual damage occurs at all. what this means is that you “trick” your skin into forming collagen; the substance which is responsible for healthy, thick and good looking skin.

It does not take long to use the dermaroller each day and the results can be fantastically good. Although it is suggested that results should take a couple of months to show, some users find an improvement after just one week of using the device.

Common models are the Dr Roller which is one of the best models availiable It is priced higher than other Derma Roller models which can still produce excellent results despite the lower build quality.

Always consult a trained individual before attempting any procedure you are unsure of. It is also good practice to only buy your Dermaroller from someone who offers tips and support on the correct way to use the roller.

Prices for Dermarollers start at around Twenty Pounds / Thirty Dollars for a single cheaper quality roller, up to around Seventy Pounds / A Hundred Dollars for the better models on the market. Look out for FDA approved models which are built to a higher specification than non FDA products.
