Micro Needling

Micro Needling

Until recently Micro Needling was quite expensive and needed you to see a specialst regularly; however Skin Needling has now become a common place procedure in most normal house holds. The Derma Roller is a hand held device with many sterilized tiny needles which, as they are rolled over the epidermis, delicately separate the pores of the epidermis and activate the healing process increasing the production of collagen and elastin.

Collagen is crucial for skin to cosmetically heal

Collagen and elastin are the main aspects in the occurance of stretch marks, the primary cause of the occurance of skin problems including stretch marks and wrinkles is that there is not enough of collagen and elastin in the skin, when this is replaced the skin goes back to its smooth and firm state. When an injury occurs, such as a cut, the skin repairs itself to stay healthy; however the skin doesn’t recognise that scars are undesirable.

In order to remove striae, scars and lines and wrinkles, the skin needs to think that there is reason to start healing producing more collagen and elastin, using a Derma roller achieves this by carefully seperating the pores of the upper layer of skin giving the impression of a trauma on the skin and needing to be repaired. regular Skin Needling will make sure that you skin heals itself to a cosmetic level.

Is Micro-Needling the best option?

Compared to other practices (and when done at home), Micro-Needling is much cheaper and better then procedures such as only using creams as the skin takes in only a minor percentage of creams applied, however when applied within an hour of using the Dermaroller the creams are absorbed much better as the pores are open.

Micro Needling can be used to reduce a wide range of skin conditions; Stretch marks, Cellulite, Wrinkles, pitted skin, acne scars, surgery scars, scars, crow’s feet etc

Stretch Marks - What can be done?

Plenty of people across the world have to deal with stretchmarks. Both males and females will find them showing after periods of significant growth such as puberty. Women, more often than not suffer with them after pregnancy.

They occur as our skin tries to keep up with the level of growth in the muscles, bones or, in the case of pregnancy, child. Invariably though, it fails to do so and tiny splits form in the middle layer of skin, known as the Dermis. These tears show as red streaks initially and fade gradually to a silvery colour.

The stretch marks are actually pockets of skin with lower levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped apart during the growth phase, it does not manage to heal itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern as there is practically no medical downside to having these marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great. They make you feel self concious in front of people and don’t look very nice.

To get rid of stretch marks, involves boosting the collagen levels within the Dermis layer of skin. This is best done by increasing your own bodies natural ability to generate collagen rather than introducing it from alternative sources. The best technique for doing this is medical needling using a dermaroller, which is a type of collagen induction therapy.

The other additional benefit of this type of treatment, is the way in which it boosts the effectiveness of oils and creams, such as the very popular bio oil. It gives these lotions the ideal conditions to penetrate the upper levels of skin to a far greater degree providing a much enhanced result.

As with anything involving health and wellbeing, it is vital to do your research and consult your doctor before beginning or using any product or treatment.

Improve your Skin with the Derma-roller

The Dermaroller is a amazing new gadget which has the great ability to naturally stimulate collagen production in the skin without damaging it by making the skin to think that it is damaged even though it is not and so it starts to heal itself and will continue to heal until the treatment is stopped. This means that so long as the treatment is carried out regularly, your skin will heal itself to a cosmetic level. Skin needling has many beneficial effects:

* Hair Loss Treatment
* Anti Ageing
* Anti Wrinkle
* Cellulite Treatment
* Scar Removal
* Stretch Mark Removal
* Hyper Pigmentation Treatment

Derma-roller needles are generally 1mm long which gives a tickling sensation when used. However, other sizes do exsist with the longer sizes such as 2mm upto about 5mm being used by professionals using numbing cream and more vigorous treatments with longer breaks in between treatments whereas using a smaller needle length at home can be done up to five times a week with two days rest.

It is not widely known, but most active ingredients in skin care products stays on the surface of your skin and are only partially absorbed. The Derma-roller has approximately 192 surgical steel micro-needles which part the pores of the top layer of skin (epidermis) without damaging it. The pores will close again about an hour later, although during that time, your skin is significantly better able to benefit from skin creams and lotions.

The body reacts to any injury by triggering the healing process to seal up the affected area, but it generally only heals enough to keep you healthy. By persistently triggering the healing process by using a Dermaroller to represent an injury to be healed, you encourage your body to heal until the job is finished.

The stretch marks are actually areas of skin with reduced levels of collagen. As the middle layer is ripped in two during the growth phase, it does not manage to heal itself so that it appears like its former state. Of course, it is only a cosmetic concern as there is practically no medical disadvantage to having stretch marks, the cosmetic concerns, however, are great.
