DermaRoller System

There are 4 sizes of skin-inject™ devices available, each with a different needle measurement, purpose and method of use.

Check with clinical skin therapist for the best choice of clinical device and supporting serum  for your skin condition.

skin-inject Roller Needling Treatment Plan

A specific skin care regime will be recommended to you at your initial consultation. To build up skin tolerance to skin needling, allow 3 day intervals between treatments for a minimum of 2 weeks. When your skin becomes adjusted to needling, gradually increase the frequency of use to a 3 times a week.

Do not use more than once a day. If used more than once a day the skin-inject roller may cause more inflammation than is aimed for and even cause damage.

Each device will last up to 6 months before a replacement is required.

How to use skin-inject

The aim of the procedure is to create the maximum number of micropunctures per area of skin being rolled. It should take you approximately 3 to 5 minutes to roll your whole face. Only ever use as much pressure as you feel comfortable applying.

Apply the roller gently over the area to be treated, we recommend to roll 4 times over each area in each direction, vertically, horizontally, and in both diagonals, lifting the roller between passes to avoid rolling the same areas. A simple method is to divide your face into 6 areas - left and right forehead, left and right nose/eye/cheek/temple and left and right lower cheek/mouth/chin areas.

Dermal damage you produced induces the release of growth factors that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. Because the epidermis is left intact, the healing period is rapid. The skin does not risk permanent structural damage, sun sensitivity, skin colour loss or hyper-pigmentation.

Treatment effects are cumulative and will usually be seen within 6-8 weeks.

Store your rollers in their original packaging.

After-Care for Skin Needling

• Avoid the use of moisturisers or lotions containing active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acids, perfumes and colours. Use the moisturiser supplied to you for 3-7 days or until your skin is no longer sensitive. Thereafter, continue with your usual moisturisers unless advised otherwise.
• Keep sun exposure to a minimum as your skin will be a little more sensitive to the sun. Wear a hat and sunscreen daily.
• Use mineral foundation, "breathable" camouflage or healing concealer if required
• Do not rub or pick the skin as this may lead to a scar.
