Microneedling - Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)
Why do it?
Promote skin repair and reduce the appearance of aging, wrinkles, stretch marks & scars (increasing range of motion, potentially reducing pain)
How It Works
Dermaroller®’s surgical-grade micro-needles reach beyond the epidermis into the dermis, causing pin-point bleeding and triggering the body’s spontaneous healing response.
Within minutes, the perforation channels close and the healing cascade starts, invading the area with collagen-producing fibroblasts and growth-promoting properties.
New organized collagen & elastin forms, bolstering from within, while the epidermis becomes thicker and more supple, each time a treatment is performed.
Importance of Rectifying Scar Tissue
Below are two ultrasounds (at the thoracolumbar region) taken from a study on individuals with chronic low back pain. These are a great visual demonstration of how fascial adhesions or scar tissue can negatively influence mobility and pain.
Reducing scar tissue, stimulating new elastin and collagen reconstruction can significantly reduce pain and range of motion - functionality.
Collagen Induction Therapy (Micro-Needling) BIOPSY
When it comes to minimally invasive treatments, Micro-needling Collagen Induction therapy with the Dermaroller® is clinically proven and is perhaps the most successful treatment available for the common signs and symptoms of aging such as wrinkles, loss of skin volume, and crepey skin. The Dermaroller® micro-needling treatment is even proven to minimize scars and stretch marks. Dermaroller® therapy triggers the body’s spontaneous healing process, stimulating cell proliferation and causing the formation of new collagen. This results in a thicker, more supple, cellular matrix. Results: visibly younger looking skin.
PROOF: The image shows a biopsy of the epidermis before and after micro-needling therapy. Significant new collagen (dyed purple) has been generated, 6 weeks after a single treatment.
Drastically improve results, with Dermaroller® Home Care Products
Dermaroller Home Care Products are designed for intermediate skin care at home, after a Professional Dermaroller treatment. Roll at home with the Dermaroller Home Care Roller (for the face, neck and décolletage) and the Dermaroller Beauty Mouse (for the body) to maximize the results of a Professional treatment.
The Dermaroller line of creams and serums are formulated with powerful anti-aging nutrients, like Hyaluronic Acid and Lipopeptides combined with vitamins A, C and E, which are essential for efficient and effective cell proliferation. They are specifically formulated for maximum absorption and to be gentle enough for use following a micro-needling treatment, where the skin barrier has been microscopically broken.
Dermaroller Home Care products are safe for use at home, and are sold exclusively through clinics that offer Dermaroller® Professional treatments.
Beware of Imitations
eDermaStamp & Dermaroller® are the original devices of their kind. All other derma-stamping & derma-rolling devices have been fashioned after the eDermaStamp & Dermaroller®. It is important to understand the differences.
Licensed by Health Canada
The Dermaroller® is licensed by Health Canada. There are countless imitation products on the market that are not licensed by Health Canada so we recommend you do your research, to protect your health and safety.
Certified Medical-Grade Equipment
The Dermaroller® is ISO13485 certified (certified medical device), meeting all standards for medical-grade equipment in manufacturing, materials, sterile packaging and more.
Safe Micro-Needles
The medical-grade micro-needles of the Dermaroller® are atraumatic (non-traumatic) cone-shaped needles that displace the skin during the puncture process, creating a micro-wound that seals within minutes of treatment. Poorer quality roller devices are made with knife-shaped needles that slice through tissue and risk causing traumatic skin, vessel and nerve damage. Poor quality needles also require increased pressure, making for a more painful treatment.
Non Ablative
Where other scar and anti-aging treatments are ablative (destroying tissue), the Dermaroller® respects the integrity of the epidermis and dermis, using atraumatic (non-traumatic) perforations to gently trigger the generation of new tissue.
Optimal Needle Count
Don’t be misled by imitation rollers that boast “the most needles”. Though we want to maximize the number of perforations, too many needles compromises the safety and comfort of the treatment. Imagine a bed of nails: while a bed of nails can easily support your body weight without a nail perforating your skin, a single nail would easily penetrate your skin under the same pressure. Similarly, a roller with too many needles will require dangerous and uncomfortable amounts of pressure in order to penetrate the skin to the appropriate depth. The Dermaroller® employs the optimal number of needles to maximize effectiveness, safety and comfort.
