Derma rollers are really popular right now. It is important however that you do you research on this latest trend before you start using it. I have some information I think you should know listed below.
Needle Size
The derma roller needles come in many different sizes. Some needles are better for certain parts of the body or certain conditions. Smaller needles are better suited for thin skin. Your skin is thinnest on your face. The opposite is true for thicker skin. You should opt for bigger needles whether the skin is naturally thick, like the skin on your legs or thick because it is damaged; such as skin that has been burned. So, if you are treating a scar on your face, you may need much bigger needles than you would need if the skin was not damaged. Using needles that are too big on delicate skin could cause damage so it is important that you are using the appropriate needles.
How Your Skin is Made Better with Derma Rollers
Derma rollers create tiny holes in the very first layer of your skin. This process does three very important things that improve the way your skin looks. The first thing that happens when you use a derma roller is that actual holes are opened up on your face that allow for better absorption of creams and medications. If you have been trying to clear up some stubborn acne, you may find that your acne medication works better once you've used a derma roller 1.0mm.
As the needles punch the skin they encourage the production of collagen. Collagen is protein naturally produced by the body that gives the skin elasticity. Wrinkled skin becomes that way because collagen supplies in the skin are depleted. Collagen production usually slows up the older we get. But young people (often with muscle disorders) can sometimes not produce adequate amounts of collagen. If you want a youthful appearance, a derma roller can help you with that.
The last thing that happens is that the skin that has been punctured by the needles, begins to repair itself by creating a scab. The scabs are so small that someone standing only a few inches away from you will not be able to see them. New, fresh skin is revealed after the scabs fall away. Although derma rolling is a very unique process it does the same thing many of the expensive spa treatments do. But you don't have to spend a ton of money on derma rollers and you can do them yourself, right in the comfort of your own home.
Using a derma roller will often draw blood. So, you should never share your roller with anyone else. You should also make sure your Sparkle With Beauty Derma Roller is very clean before using it on your skin. Sharing rollers and not cleaning them properly is how infections are spread.
