DERMAROLLER

Dermaroller® medical procedure is administered by a qualified medical practitioner trained in the use and application of this treatment.

Genuine Dermaroller ® therapy provides advanced micro-medical skin-needling , a procedure that stimulates skin to regenerate and repair its self naturally and safely, creating smoother , brighter healthier younger looking skin.

Your practitioner will use Dermaroller® medical device to produce thousands of micro needle-columns into the skin, each will penetrate into the dermis of the skin approximately 0.1 mm in width. These close quickly allowing the skin to recover quickly. The procedure will take approximately 30 minutes.

An anaesthetic cream (LMX4) is applied liberally over the area to be treated for approximately 30-45 minutes prior to treatment. This cream is then removed and the Demaroller® medical device is applied over the skin with several passes, to ensure the most effective micro needling is achieved.

Once the skin indicates the Dermaroller® has achieved the optimum effect, (Chiroxy) cream is applied, this will encourage cleansing, calming and closure of the micro-needle points. You will be supplied post care treatments to use, including a high factor sun cream. It is important you maintain use of high factor sun cream and moisturise thoroughly.
