MICRONEEDLING

Micro Needling is a minimally invasive procedure. Micro-needling is done with a device called Dermaroller. Dermaroller is a sterile roller which is in the shape of a hammer made of pure stainless steel with a series of fine sharp needles to make small micro punctures in the skin. It is a collagen induction therapy which helps to stimulate the body’s own production of collagen. Now at Nu Skin we introduced Dermapen a device approved by US FDA as alternative to Dermaroller which is equally effective.

What is the principle for the Derma roller?

Dermaroller helps in two ways

• Creates many microscopic channels deep into the dermis by which its helps in the passage and absorption of products into the deeper part of the skin
• They also break through the fibrous bands that pull down the acne scars. So it helps to release the skin free from the fibrous bands and works well on pitted scars.
• When Microneedling combined with Hyaluronic acids, Chemical peels, Subcision, Lasers it gives good results for acne scars.

Derma roller is advised at an interval of 3 – 4 weeks or at an interval of 6 – 8 weeks. According to the underlying condition for which dermaroller is done.

This is a very useful treatment option, that is employed as the first line of management in our Clinic, along with topical agents. Planned for 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity of shedding, this treatment helps control shedding of hair, and promotes regrowth. This treatment is used for both men, and women with hair loss, and has shown significant promise. Maintenance is continued once the initial cycles are completed, usually with topical applications.
