Dermaroller

Dermaroller is smoothing, anti ageing, sun damage, can be used on colletage

Natural Skin Regeneration and Scar Repair Therapy. For decades many treatments have been developed to help repair the surface layer of the skin and stimulate collagen production eg laser resurfacing, chemical peels mesotherapy and often these treatments are either expensive or invasive to the point that up to 3 weeks downtime is experienced after. Now the quite simple and affordable Dermaroller has revolutionized the approach to this area and is producing amazing results which helps improve the appearance of old scars, sun damaged skin or simply as a method to revitilise and rejuvinate.

For many years Mesotherapy has been a very popular treatment on the Continent. This works by using very small needles to inject vitamins into the upper layers of the skin. Recently, there has been evidence that it may be the injections themselves producing the skin rejuvenation.

The Dermaroller is a revolutionary skincare and rejuvenation device which has the incredible ability to naturally stimulate collagen & elastin production in the skin without damaging it, to create smoother, tighter, healthier, younger looking skin. The Dermaroller can be used to treat general skin management issues including:

Anti-ageing
Anti-wrinkle
Scar removal - including acne scar removal
Sun damage
Hyper-pigmentation treatment

The Dermaroller has the features of a precision-engineered medical instrument including 192 surgical steel micro-needles which, when rolled across the dermis, creates pin-point punctures. This is perceived by the body as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that trigger the production of collagen and elastin.

OMA Clinic will generally recommend a course of 3-4 40-minute treatments with a break of 4-6 weeks between treatments. This allows for new cell reproduction, collagen & elastin stimulation and general skin healing. Noticeable results can be seen within one week of treatment.

Side effects of Dermaroller treatments are minimal but may include post treatment redness.

Upon completion of the Dermaroller treatment, the skin may feel dry, tight and uncomfortable. However, as part of your Dermaroller package, we provide an oxygenated moisturizer specifically formulated to nourish and sooth traumatized skin, together with an SPF 50+ moisturizer for use after treatment.

What is a dermaroller?

The Dermaroller uses very small needles to stimulate the skin.

This works because, when naturally stimulated by extremely fine needle-pricks, skin develops more collagen.

Collagen is the basic building-block of skin and youthful skin is characterised by abundant collagen growth.

Therefore, naturally stimulating collagen production using the Dermaroller results in a younger, fresher, healthier and more vibrant appearance.

The Dermaroller contains microsurgical precision needles mounted around a rolling device.

The tiny needles on the device rotate and penetrate the skin to a depth of approximately 1.5mm.

What it can treat

Aged and Damaged Skin
Acne Scars
Facial Lines
Lines in the Decolletage Area (the triangle region above the breasts)

What does a dermaroller treatment involve?

Treatment courses normally comprise of 3 individual treatments.
These are normally performed 6 weeks apart.
In the procedure, your face will be numbed with a cream similar to that used on the back of children's hands before they have operations.
Your practitioner will then treat the area with a gentle Dermaroller.
Most people find the treatment mildly uncomfortable, but not unbearable.
At the end of the procedure, your skin will be slightly red and is likely to remain so for the rest of the day.
It is important to avoid excess sun exposure during this period.
By the next day, your skin should return to normal and you will be able to work and perform most social activities.

After the treatment

The changes are not immediate because the increase of collagen happens gradually over 6 weeks following treatment.
No visible signs of improvement will be immediately obvious.
Over the following few months, there will be a gradual and lasting improvement in your skin quality.
Most people opt for 3 treatments, but you can have further treatments as and when you choose to.

Possible side effects

Because the treatment is entirely natural, side-effects are extremely unusual.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience facial redness (like mild sunburn) but this will normally settle by the next day.
