Dermaroller

Dermaroller  is also known as Dermapen, Dermastamping or Mesotherapy.

Dermaroller or microneedling is a very popular treatment for scar reduction. Dermaroller is a single use disposable rolling instrument with thin, thread like microneedles measuring 0.25 to 2.5mm. It looks like a mini wheel embedded with hundreds of fine thread-like needles. A treatment plan can be made depending on your skin condition and the type of scars you want to address. Most popular treatment for Acne Scars because of the relative ease of the treatment, quick downtime and great results.

What is the dermarolling?

After cleansing the skin, a thick layer of cream is applied on the entire face and left on for an hour. This ensures that the procedure is comfortable. Once numb, the skin is prepared by cleansing with an antiseptic solution and spirit. This ensures that there is no infection during the procedure.

During each session, a new, single use, disposable dermaroller is used. We will choose the length of the needles depending on the skin thickness and the depth of scars.

Needle lengths from 0.25 to 1mm reach only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and are great to enhance penetration of certain serums. However, they are not of much help to address scarring as most scars are much deeper than 1mm. A needle length of 1.5 to 2.5mm is more appropriate for the treatment of scars. As the dermaroller rolls on the skin, it gently pricks the skin creating thousands of microwounds. As a result our skin starts a process of wound healing. During this process, we release a lot of internal growth factors, all leading to production of more collagen. The new collagen is laid down over weeks, resulting in softening and smoothing of the scars. The other benefit is overall improvement in skin texture, hydration, pores and tone.

During the process of dermarolling, we also use targeted meso-solutions containing actives like vitamin c, hyaluronic, peptides, growth factors etc. These effectively penetrate the skin through the micro channels created by the dermaroller, ultimately enhancing the results of your session.
 

What preparation and aftercare has to be done before and after dermarolling?

The skin has to be free of pimples or wounds. There is minimal discomfort and immediate redness and mild swelling which settles over the first few days. So, make sure that your social calendar allows you this little downtime. Also, it is best not to have any direct and prolonged sun exposure over the next few days. Routine travelling and life continues as usual.

You will be prescribed an antibiotic cream to be used for a week after the procedure. You have to continue sunscreening and moisturising as usual. Routine skincare products and makeup application can be resumed after 5-7days.

What is a dermapen? Is it same as dermaroller?

Dermapen also known as dermastamp is essentially similar to the dermaroller. However, it involves the use of a pen like device with disposable microneedle tips. The number of needles on a pen are 12-36 in number compared to hundreds of the dermaroller.

Advantages of the pen:

  • Since its a smaller area, we can use it for delicate areas like the under eye, nose etc.
  • It can target individual, isolated scars.
  • The pen simultaneously provides a gentle vibration, making the procedure very comfortable.
  • The length of the needle can be adjusted for different areas on the face and for different depth of scars.
