The Science of Skin Needling

Skin Needling with Scientia Derma Roller - How Does It Work?

It produces hundreds of very small punctures on the surface of the skin, causing the body’s natural wound healing response to kick in.......

Allowing for maximum absorption of anti aging creams that help to stimulate collagen -- essential for reducing wrinkles and scars and increase blood supply to the skin.

"Little punctures on the skin?" Ok, this may sound worse than it is. After all, how do you think non-surgical facelift procedures -- like laser and chemical peels work? They cause slight damage to the upper layers of the skin, causing your body to launch into repair mode, building tight, new collage and elastin!

But, the good thing about this anti-aging procedure is that it does not cause deep damage or peel the epidermis -- so there is no downtime and very minimal costs and still helps you keep wrinkles, fine lines at bay.

Skin Needling and Collagen Induction Therapy

Collagen Induction Therapy or micro needling was originally pioneered by a renowned South African Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Desmond Fernandes. The idea behind this therapy was to stimulate your own skin cell regeneration and collagen production. Think of this procedure as a very intense skin needling treatment done by a skin care professional.

The needle lengths on the rollers used by professionals are much longer and can cause bleeding and some discomfort. However, a numbing cream is usually applied before treatment. And while this intense treatment does offer significant results -- it also requires about four to seven days downtime to heal. Still, in my opinion, this is a much faster and safer alternative to laser therapy.


Skin Needling At Home

My favorite roller device is the Scientia Derma Roller which is an FDA approved application and is easy to use yourself at home. It's made of fine surgical grade steel and it's gamma sterilized. Don't accept cheap imitations!!

Directions

  • Clean the skin well, then apply your favorite anti aging cream like copper peptides
  • Using gentle pressure, roll it over each area of the face vertically and horizontally four or five times in each direction
  • You should try to use it once or twice a week until the skin is conditioned. Then you may be increased to three-five times week -- as tolerated

Where to Purchase It?

It's been difficult finding one for home use, as the others have longer, and sometimes larger needles. Not only will it hurt and cause some bleeding, but if done incorrectly, it can cause tissue tearing and scaring. That's why they should only be used by professionals.

That's why I only recommend and use the Scientia Derma Roller.

My Experience

I use it about 4 times a month. Start out go lightly -- it doesn't hurt, but it does take time to get used to it - especially in sensitive areas like around the mouth and neck.

I love it and the way my skin looks after using the derma roller. Especially, the way my skin soaks up the emu oil or whatever moisturizer you use afterward.
