Dermaroller

Derma roller or collagen induction therapy is performed with the help of special dermatological instruments having fine needles known as dermarollers. Dermaroller is ideal for atrophic scars that have a dent like appearance and look ugly when overhead lighting falls on them. Collagen rejuvenation is what dermaroller therapy aims at in order to produce healthy, firm skin. The small microscopic needles on the head of the dermaroller create holes on the surface of the skin thereby enabling higher collagen production and elastin to generate a new layer of skin cells.

How is it helpful in acne, wrinkle, scarring disorders?

The idea is to trick the skin into a wound healing process by making thousands of small punctures on the surface of the skin through the microscopic needles of the dermaroller. Wrinkles, depressed scars, deep lines are all diminished through this process. The best part about the dermaroller or collagen inducement therapy is that it allows for maximum absorption of anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle creams leading to new collagen production and reduced wrinkles after one session.
