As Angelina Jolie and Rachel Ray jump on the derma roller bandwagon, we see a lot of women around the globe trying to use microneedling to help treat acne and prevent aging. But is that a true boon or just a fad? Well UAE Beauty editor has an answer for which we need to give you a background. A derma roller is one of the devices used in micro-needling which is the process of pricking tiny holes in the skin to stimulate collagen production. The technical name for this is “Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy” which is abbreviated as PCI or CIT. It’s been used by dermatologists for the last decade or so as a way to reduce wrinkles and scar tissue without significant side effects. So yes, used in the correct manner, derma roller helps with acne scars acne and anti aging greatly. But as spider man says, with great power comes great responsibility. If not done right, derma roller can scar you for life. May we also point out that all derma rollers are not created equal, and the importance of the right size of needles, sterilization, before and after application of treatments all plays a vital role in whether this will prove hugely effective or a disaster. Although anything between 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm may prove effective, we at UAE Beauty editor advise our beauties to error on the size of caution and to leave this to dermatologists. However, you might be able to safely use something as small as 0.5 mm at home but please remember that with that you need to combine an effective skincare serum to get any real results. We do recommend getting one with titanium / medical grade stainless steel needles if possible, and make sure the roller comes with a storage case (helps with hygiene). Be warned: it hurts. In next post we will tell you how to use derma roller the proper way. Yours painfully UAE Beauty editor
