Derma Roller System

Warning: Derma rollers and the act of derma-​rolling sound positively tortuous and medieval. But for the uninitiated, as I once was, I can assure you this is neither painful nor medieval. The results can be pretty amazing.
A derma-​roller is the name for a device and technique that improve the condition of one’s skin.
For the face, the idea is to gently but persistently roll this tool over your face in a proscribed pattern. It creates a mild prickly sensation that is not really unpleasant. What the Derma Roller does is create a gentle skin irritation from the microscopic punctures the very fine gauge needles create. This «irritation» causes your body to produce collagen in response.
As we age, collagen production decreases which is why we get lines and wrinkles. But in forcing your skin to produce collagen you create an opportunity to improve the texture of your skin. Over time your skin plumps up and you see fine lines and wrinkles minimize.
After using the Derma Roller, you can then put on any number of serums that appeal to you. I have used a variety of them myself including a homemade Vitamin C serum.
After using the Derma Roller your skin is especially receptive to absorbing whatever you put on it… so choose wisely and make sure you use all natural products.
You must keep your Derma Roller sanitized by washing it well and then soaking in alcohol. And they need to be replaced periodically.
Although I am happy with the products I bought from this company, you can find Derma Rollers from a variety of places and at various price points. You want to be careful though since they are not all created equally. There are different size Derma Rollers to use on various parts of the body. For the face, which is the only one I use, I have a 0.5mm tool. Any higher would be too harsh for the face.
The results take time but can be remarkable. I know many of you are recoiling as you read this so I’ll stop here. All I can say was trying this made a believer out of me. Google Derma Rolling and you’ll get a better idea for how to do it from some of the videos out there.
I think this is a reasonable addition to a healthy skin-​care routine.
