Description
What it does – Ready to get gorgeous, glowing skin? A derma roller might be just what you need. This device has a bunch of tiny needles on it that create super small holes in your skin to help it produce more collagen and minimize the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and dark spots. Dermarolling, also known as microneedling, allows serums and other skincare products to penetrate deeper, making them more effective. We’re here to walk you through every step of the process so you can derma roll like an expert.
How To Use :
1. Disinfect the roller before you use it. Because the tiny needles will penetrate your skin, it’s essential to disinfect those needles first
2. Cleanse your face. It’s important to start with clean skin. Use a gentle cleanser designed for your skin type to thoroughly clean your skin.
3. Apply a serum. Look for serums with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid to create supple skin and help fade wrinkles, scars, and dark spots
4. Roll dermaroller vertically. Gently roll the device over your skin. Start on one side of your face and roll from top to bottom. Lift up the derma roller, and roll over the next area. Do each area 2-3 times.
● Don’t roll over your nose, lips, or eyes.
● Derma rolling at home shouldn’t hurt or draw blood because the needles are shallow. If it’s painful, don’t press as hard.
5. Roll horizontally. Repeat the process, rolling across your face horizontally. After each stroke, move down or up a little bit, and roll your skin until you’ve done the whole area 2-3 times
6. Use a derma roller up to twice a week. Experts suggest giving your skin time to rest and heal between treatments. You can derma roll at home 2 times per week if you’d like, or space out your treatments further. Some people only use this treatment every 6 weeks, for instance.
After Care :
Apply another layer of serum. The tiny holes in your skin will allow the serum to penetrate deeper, making it more effective. Gently dab the serum onto your face.
Hydrate your skin. Apply an emollient, or moisturizer, to soften your skin to help avoid irritation.
Avoid applying a product with retinol or vitamin C after derma rolling, which can seriously irritate your skin.
Clean the roller in dish soap and water. Wash your roller off using dish soap and hot water. Dish soap is better than other soaps at removing the tiny particles on your roller. Put the soap and water in a clean container, and gently shake the roller around in the water.
Disinfect the roller after using it. Spray the roller with rubbing alcohol. Then, store it upright so the needles aren’t touching anything.
For best results, replace the roller after using it 20 times.
Expect some redness and swelling. The side effects of microneedling include swelling, redness, and flakiness that can last for a few days. Don’t apply makeup to your skin the day after a treatment, give it 48 hours.
Avoid derma rolling if you have an active breakout, as it could worsen acne.
Keep your skin clean and protect it from the sun. Dermarolling essentially creates a bunch of tiny wounds in your skin. To prevent infection, wash the area regularly and avoid swimming or going to the gym, at least for a few days. Wear sunscreen if you plan to be outside, as well.
