Dermaroller

Dermaroller treatment can be used to improve the appearance of ageing skin, sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks and wrinkles on the face and body. The procedure uses micro-surgical needling to deliver results.

The way a Dermaroller operates means that skincare specialists are able to reach deeper layers of skin, allowing dedicated products to work more effectively.

A titanium Dermaroller is used to create pin-pricks which encourage the body to begin regeneration, a process which involves the production of new collagen and elastin, therefore resulting in more youthful looking skin. The skin will continue to improve in the weeks that follow, gradually looking healthier, plumper and fresher.

Dermaroller treatment is effective in lessening the appearance of a wide variety of skin conditions. Several different needle sizes can be used, making this treatment suitable for use on both the face and body. The treatment can be used to alleviate:

• Wrinkles, lines and crow’s feet
• Pigmentation
• Scars and acne scars
• Stretch marks
• Cellulite
As well as reducing the appearance of the above skin complaints, the Dermaroller can also improve the firmness of the skin, resulting in a healthier glow.

While the Dermaroller does involve needling it doesn’t require injections, so it is minimally invasive and side effects are unlikely. Recovery time is minimal.

You should expect to pay around £250 per session.
