Dermaroller
Dermaroller is an exciting yet simple treatment which works by causing microscopic areas of damage, which in turn stimulates the skins own repair processes. This repairing, which takes some months to complete, results in stronger, more youthful skin. The rollers have very fine needles, their depth being dependent on the underlying problem that needs to be treated. Sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles require treatment with medium length, while Acne scars need treatment with longer needles. Both are carried out under topical local anesthetic.
The treatment also improves skin texture, pores and gives good skin tightening. The process is similar to that achieved by Fractional Lasers, but with less downtime, making it attractive to those with busy lifestyles. Three to four treatments are usually required, about a month apart, with the resulting improvement lasting up to 2yrs.
