Micro needle roller is a process involving the use of a needle to pierce hundreds of small holes in the skin. It seems to be the latest trend in beauty and skin care. But it has actually existed and has been developed for over 50 years! Fans of microneedles claim that it can treat problems from wrinkles, pigmentation and dull skin to scars, stretch marks and cellulite, although the results are still questionable on the last question. So don’t complain. However, in a 2009 study, 37 patients underwent microneedle treatment for atrophic facial scars (scarred scars caused by acne, chickenpox, etc.). After many professional treatments, more than 80% of patients saw a reduction in scars and rated their treatment as “excellent”.
How does it work?
The micro needle roller contains hundreds of small needles. When used, these needles can cause minor injuries on the skin. It can accelerate the production of collagen and elastin to compensate for its healing – making your skin tone firmer and fuller than before.
This makes it an ideal way to fill fine lines and wrinkles, thicken and plump eye skin (thus reducing the appearance of dark circles and bags) and even plump lips. For acne scars and discoloration, micro needle rollers are also an effective treatment because they penetrate deep into the skin. In addition, it can increase component absorption to 90% when used with serum (should be).
For more intense office treatment, many dermatologists use a stylus, an electronic micro-acupuncture device that oscillates when piercing the skin. These treatments usually have direct and significant effects, but also have side effects such as pain and bleeding. They are also often very expensive. Fortunately, home leather rolling is a more frugal choice and can still be achieved with regular maintenance. It also requires a lower pain threshold.
How do I choose a micro needle roller?
First, make sure you source from a quality retailer. The next thing to consider is the needle size. It strongly recommends using only 0.3 mm or less, as any thickness has a higher risk of damaging the skin. (especially in the delicate areas around the eyes and lips) If you want to use a larger needle for deeper microneedle treatment, It recommends looking for a professional.
Which serum should I use (and avoid)?
One of the main points of micro needle roller at home is to really maximize the efficacy of serum. It is important to buy the right serum with the right active ingredients to get the most benefit and not cause any adverse reactions. This means embracing some ingredients and avoiding other ingredients.
It recommends formulating ingredients containing hyaluronic acid, stem cells, peptides and growth factors. These types of ingredients will truly maximize the role of microneedles in stimulating collagen, accelerate cell renewal, enhance pigmentation, smooth fine lines, firmness, plumpness and hydration.
