What is a Dermaroller?

Derma rollers are devices with microneedles at their tops. The device is handheld. The needles may be as small as 0.25mm. In order to improve the appearance of the skin, the device creates very minute punctures over the skin area. There is really nothing to worry about since these punctures cause a very minimal amount of damage to the epidermis of the skin. 

It might sound a bit scary, but it's not. Derma rollers are technological marvels with minimal discomfort. Microneedling can cause minor redness and burning, which is normal and resolves quickly. Before starting a treatment, patients are explained what to expect.
To get the best treatment for your skin, it is recommended that you visit a dermatologist.
 

What are they used for?

Derma rollers can be used for a number of reasons, but the most common are improving pigmentation problems and improving the skin's surface. Derma rolling is said to diminish fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. As a result, professional microneedling is needed, which uses longer needles than at-home microneedling.
Skin care products can penetrate deeper with derma rollers, resulting in a more powerful result.
 

What can you expect in terms of results?

During the first five days after the dermaroller treatment, you might experience some redness. In the treated area, there may be a slight burning sensation. In spite of this, you can wear minimal make-up and go about your daily routine as usual. 

Post-treatment creams are available that work well to recover the skin post-treatment. Your doctor will recommend them for use after the treatment.

Approximately six to twelve weeks after a derma roller treatment, patients see improvements in their skin condition. Please keep in mind that results may vary from patient to patient. You will be told what to expect by your dermatologist. The process of microneedling with dermarollers takes time because your body heals itself through the use of these tools. 
 

How many sessions will be required?

It depends on many factors, such as the severity of the patient's skin problems, how many sessions they need. Typically, patients need two sessions. However, some patients may require four or even six sessions to achieve their goals. During these sessions, your skin is given time to heal and is not overtaxed. It can take between four and six weeks between two sessions. You will be advised by your dermatologist about the ideal time frame and number of sessions for your skin condition.
