Derma Rollers have taken Asia by storm in the past few years, but are only just gaining a following in North America as well as throught Europe. 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 producing collagen in the affected area.

Every Derma Roller has hundreds of very small micro needles which create minute trauma to the skin. This sets of a countermeasure in the skin which involves 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 does occur. Therefore, in simple terms, 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. Whilst the results should take a few months to show, some users find an improvement after just one week of using the device.

Common models are the Scientia Derma Roller which is perhaps the most successful home treatment model. It is a little expensive compared to other Dermaroller models which can still produce excellent results despite the lower build quality.

It is important to consult a trained medical professional before using any health related product. It is also a good idea to only buy your Dermaroller from a place which offers tips and support on the bestcorrect way to use the roller.

The cost of a derma roller is about £20/$30 for a single cheaper quality roller, up to around £70/$100 for the better models on the market. Consider how long you want your demaroller to last before choosing a model.
