In the age of botox and derma fillers a small gadget seems to make a lot of fuss. The newest “toy” for women who want to stay forever young may also be considered a torture device by those who are still far from the years in which they agree to suffer in order to stay young and beautiful. Similar to a paint roller, the derma roller has about 200 tiny needles. Their purpose? To penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. The needles of the derma roller have between 0.5 millimeters and 1.5 millimeters.
Introduction to Derma Roller
According to specialists in dermatology, the derma roller’s main role is to hurt the skin in order to heal it in a more beautiful manner. The needles create hundreds of micro wounds in the face. This way, the skin is forced to recover and the production of collagen is stimulated. Once this happens, the skin texture is improved and the fine wrinkles disappear, the lines being filled with this natural substance. Collagen comes directly from the skin of the patient in a half-natural manner, unlike botox, which is injected. Doctors also claim that these botox treatments not just helps the skin gain a youthful look through the aforementioned procedure, but it also works in a way similar to the aeration of the land before being fertilized. This way, the skin is better moisturized, while creams and lotions are better absorbed. The good thing about the tiny device is that it can be used not just on the face, but also on the body. This is also a solution to get rid of stretch marks that might appear during pregnancy and after giving birth. And in combination with hydrating lotions it is said to make miracles.
However, one of the main concerns of those that already replaced botox with the derma roller on their face or all over their body is the sanity of the small gadget. As the needles puncture the skin, the risk of infection is big and the device should be used at least theoretically speaking just once and then replaced. But as the price tag of the derma roller comes with at least two zeros in the end, many customers who acquire it for personal use try all sorts of home sterilization techniques. Most of which is not always working.
