Dermal Rolling

Dermal rolling is a cosmetic procedure which involves rolling a small barrel-shaped device across the skin, while tiny needles covering the surface of the device puncture the skin just enough to promote collagen production, but not enough to promote a wound-healing response from tissues.

Dermal rolling is not painful at all with the use of a topical anaesthetic.

The effects of dermal rolling are wide-ranging. First and foremost, it will dramatically boost collagen production. The cosmetic results of this include reduced acne scarring, increased skin elasticity and strength, reduced oiliness, and smoother, finer textured skin.
