The Benefits of Derma Rolling at Home

Derma rolling, also known as microneedling, is a skincare technique that involves using a tool with a handle and a roller, the roller has tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface.like tiny little pin pricks. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen production and enhancing the absorption of skincare products. The length of the needles on derma rollers can be from .3 mm long to 3mm long. Its widely agreed that for home use, .5 needles are the most suitable length. 

At Flowerdale Valley, we're excited to introduce our new derma roller with 0.5mm titanium needles, designed to help you achieve professional results in the comfort of your own home.

How Does Derma Rolling Work?

Derma rolling works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface, which prompts the body to produce more collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining the skin's structure and elasticity. As we age, collagen production slows down, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. By stimulating collagen production, derma rolling can help to reduce the appearance of these signs of aging.

Benefits of Derma Rolling at Home

1. Improved Skin Texture and Tone

Regular use of a derma roller can help to improve the overall texture and tone of your skin. The micro-injuries created by the needles encourage the skin to renew itself, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion.

2. Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products

The micro-channels created by the derma roller allow for better absorption of skincare products. This means that your serums, moisturizers, and other treatments can penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

3. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

By stimulating collagen production, derma rolling can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Over time, you may notice that your skin looks plumper and more youthful.

4. Minimized Pores

Derma rolling can also help to minimize the appearance of pores. The increased collagen production helps to tighten the skin, making pores appear smaller.

5. Faded Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation

If you struggle with acne scars or hyperpigmentation, derma rolling can be a beneficial addition to your skincare routine. The increased cell turnover and collagen production can help to fade these imperfections over time.
