Derma roller involves micro puncture of the skin down to the dermis to stimulate collagen production. Derma roller is also known as micro needling and collagen induction therapy. It is has been referred to as the natural alternative to botox and dermal fillers.

The concept of skin needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is based on the skin's natural ability to repair itself whenever it encounters physical damage such as cuts, burns and othe abraisions. Immediately after an injury occurs to the skin, our body re-uses the damaged collagen and elastin fibres as well as othe damaged skin components to produce new skin structures. Skin needlingallows for controlled induction of the skin's self-repair mechanism by creating micro-injuries which trigger new collagen synthesis. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. Results can be quite spectacular.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?

Visible signs of skin rejuvination are seen just after 6-8 weeks following the procedure and continue to improve for up to a year.

A course of three sessions, at 6-8 week intervals, is usually recommended to achieve optimum results; however you will notice great improvement after just one treatment.
