The “Face Roller” assists with the penetration of skin creams maximizing the effectiveness of active ingredients. A Skin and Scalp Roller which helps stimulate the deeper layers of the skin, and can be used to improve the appearance of stretch marks and help revitalize the appearance of healthy hair. Or a Medical Roller, which helps to stimulate the deeper layers of the skin, and can be used to improve the appearance of stretch marks, smoothes lines and wrinkles and rebuildS pitted scarring such as acne scarring, this treatment is only able to be performed in the clinic by a trained technician. Skin Rollering is also known as Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy. It has similar results to Laser, Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion but is far less invasive, which translates to a far lower risk of complications and quick recovery time. Improvement in the appearance of scars and lines is achieved through a series of Skin Needling treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart. How is it done? The Skin Roller causes multiple tiny pinpoint puncture wounds to the dermis. This dermal damage induces the release of growth factors that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. New collagen production is the object of all skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments. Skin Rollering creates dermal damage without the removal of the healthy epidermis, which happens with other resurfacing techniques. Because the epidermis is left intact, the healing period is rapid. The skin does not risk permanent structural damage, sun sensitivity, skin colour loss or hyper-pigmentation. Healing - How much time does it take to recover from Skin Rollering Treatment? You can either be treated for severe scarring or Face Rollering that you can do yourself. The skin is red and swollen for one to two days after a medical Rollering treatment with a light grazing over the treated area appearing on day two. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within 48 hours of treatment. Multiple treatments are usually necessary to achieve significant improvement in the appearance and depth of lines and scars. Treatment effects are cumulative and will usually be seen within 6-8 weeks of each treatment. In comparison to prolonged recovery time from laser resurfacing and chemical peels, the short recovery following Skin Rollering makes it an excellent alternative method of improving lines and scars.
