Dermaroller: everything you need to know about the beauty trend of the moment

After the age of 30, the elasticity and smoothness of the facial skin slowly begins to weaken due to the reduction in the natural production of collagen in the skin, so it is natural to often find this ingredient in the formulas of anti-wrinkle creams and serums. dermocosmetics are constant and every year new technologies and products are launched on the market that help to keep the skin free of wrinkles for longer.

In recent months, we hear more and more of a new beauty accessory that is increasingly proving its effectiveness in the natural production of collagen: the Dermarollers, the most loved by celebrities.

But before discovering the beauty tool of the moment, here are some tips for your skincare:

Dermaroller: what is it?

Popularized by beauty trendsetter Kim Kardashian, the dermaroller is a beauty tool that consists of a roller with very small micro-needles that when they slide on the skin are able to penetrate beyond the epidermis. It is used before the start of the beauty routine, being in able to create small, painless lesions that help in the activation of blood flow and in the natural production of collagen.

The dermaroller also serves to obtain a better absorption of anti-aging beauty treatments: making micro-insertions in the outermost layer of the skin optimizes the absorption and effects of the anti-wrinkle treatments and the small lessons created by the dermaroller expand the vessels of the epidermis, help to dissolve accumulations of fat and to drain swelling of the face.

In specialized beauty centers you can find dermarollers with longer microneedles that promote a deep stimulation of the skin cells. For home use, on the other hand, you can find the lighter versions, with micro-needles of a maximum length of 0.5mm, ideal for taking advantage of their advantages without damaging the skin or causing irritation.

And finally, dermarollers are also used in the treatment of cellulite, because they activate blood circulation and help dilute the accumulated fat in the most exposed areas such as the abdomen or thighs. Combine it with your draining cream to achieve better results.

What are the models of dermaroller?

There are 3 types of dermaroller on the market:

  • Eye contour: helps reduce dark circles by dissolving fat cells and draining the areas where water retention is concentrated. For this function we recommend the dermaroller with microneedles 0.3mm or less.
  • Face: helps in the stimulation of collagen, in the absorption of facial products and help to even out the complexion. They also help in the treatment of acne scars. We therefore recommend using a dermaroller with microneedles up to 0.5mm long.
  • Body: useful for the treatment and reduction of scars, stretch marks and cellulite. The use of a dermaroller with needles up to 3mm long is recommended.

How is the dermaroller used?

First of all, it is very important to disinfect the roller with alcohol. Since the needles penetrate the first layers of the skin it is essential that they are 100% free of bacteria to avoid irritation and infections.

Once clean, use the dermaroller to gently massage your face before applying the anti-aging treatment that's right for you. Once you have finished applying the products, go back to massaging your entire face with the dermaroller for an optimal result of the treatment. It is advisable to use it up to 3 times a week. Your skin will become smoother, more even and softer after 1 week of use.

Warning: it is advisable to always consult a dermatologist before starting the treatment with the dermaroller.
