Derma Rollers: 6 Microneedling Tools For Every Type of Person

Poking your skin with a hundreds of tiny needles may sound intimidating, but this bizarre beauty treatment has been proven to boost collagen growth, which in turn helps to diminish the appearance of scars, stretch marks and wrinkles

Dermarolling, also known as mirconeedling, has been around for over a decade, but it’s only in recent years that this beauty treatment has grown in popularity at the dermatologist’s office and at home. If you’ve been left with acne scars caused by the dreaded maskne, or if you want to get ahead of the ageing process and reduce the appearance of fine lines, adding microneedling into your skincare routine could help.

How does microneedling work?

According to studies, the standard at-home dermaroller features a drum-shaped roller studded with microneedles that are 0.15-2mm in length. After sanitising the microneedling tool thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, apply numbing cream to the skin (or skip this step if you’ve got high pain tolerance), then use the roller on different sections of your skin several times. After the treatment, the skin is said to be able to absorb products better, so continue your skincare regime as usual and layer on the serums and moisturisers.

With all the amazing benefits of dermarolling, you may be tempted to jump right into it. However, be sure to consult with a dermatologist if you’ll benefit from this treatment, or do research on how to add microneedling into your routine before jumping into it. If you’ve done your due diligence, however, here are the best at-home microneedling tools for you to try.
