Dermaroller Therapy
Genuine Dermaroller Therapy™ is a treatment that aids natural skin regeneration and scar repair.
It provides advanced micro-medical skin-needling, a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely, creating smoother, brighter, healthier, younger-looking skin.
What does the procedure involve?
Genuine Dermaroller Therapy™ uses a high-quality, sterile, single use medical device. The device is the only such device approved within the EU and is only available in the UK and Ireland from trained medical practitioners and authorised clinics such as Surrey Plastic Surgery Services.
Thirty minutes prior to treatment, the practitioner will use a topical anaesthetic to numb the skin.
The device works by penetrating the skin with thousands of microscopic needle-columns, which encourages the skin’s natural repair process. As the skin regenerates, new collagen and skin cells are formed and blood supply is enhanced. In the first weeks the skin will normally look brighter and more vibrant and about six weeks later the regeneration and repair process can tighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. The process will continue over the following months, providing natural and long lasting enhancement. Up to three sessions, six weeks apart, are usually recommended for acne scars and other types of scarring but your practitioner may extend your treatment should they deem it necessary. This will be discussed thoroughly with you during your consultation.
Is this treatment right for you?
Genuine Dermaroller Therapy™ can significantly improve the appearance of:
- Acne scars
- Aged and sun damaged skin
- Facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Acne Scarring: Improvement after two Dermaroller™ procedures
Ageing and Sun Damaged Skin: Improvement three months after one Dermaroller™ procedure
What are the consequences?
With recovery often taking place the same day as the procedure is carried out, you will just look like you have moderate sunburn following your treatment and your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual but these symptoms should subside after a couple of hours. Immediately after, the practitioner may well apply Chiroxy Cream to help soothe and calm the skin. Patients are advised to treat the skin gently until the redness has cleared and it is recommended that you abstain from using make-up for 12 hours after your treatment and to cleanse gently with tepid water for 48 hours.
