Do Derma Rollers Really Work?

Derma rollers have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many people turning to this skincare tool to improve the appearance of their skin. But with so many claims and counter-claims about the benefits of derma rolling, it can be difficult to know what to believe. In this article, we will take a closer look at the science behind derma rolling and whether it can truly deliver on its promises.

What is a Derma Roller?

A derma roller is a small, hand-held tool that consists of a rolling drum covered with fine, micro-needles. The idea behind the tool is that by gently rolling it over the skin, the needles create microscopic injuries, which then trigger the body's natural healing process. This process is said to result in improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

How Does Derma Rolling Work?

The science behind derma rolling is based on the principle of collagen induction therapy (CIT). When the needles on the derma roller penetrate the skin, they create tiny channels that stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin, and as we age, our bodies produce less and less of it. By encouraging the production of collagen, derma rolling can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

The Benefits of Derma Rolling

There are several potential benefits to using a derma roller, including:

  • Improved skin texture and tone.
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Reduced appearance of acne scars and other types of scars.
  • Increased absorption of skincare products.
  • Results can be seen in as little as one week with no irritation or downtime.


The Risks of Derma Rolling

While derma rolling is generally considered safe, there are some risks to be aware of, including:

  • While this is a pain free home treatment, you will feel a tingling sensation, almost sunburnt like.
  • Redness after the procedure. Will disappear within a few hours of rolling.
  • Infection if the tool is not properly sterilized.

Is Derma Rolling Right for You?

Whether or not derma rolling is right for you will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals. If you are looking to improve the overall appearance of your skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, or improve the look of scars, derma rolling may be a good option for you. The best size for overall anti-aging is a 0.5mm derma roller. If you have more sensitive skin or are looking to slowly introduce derma rolling into your skincare, start of with a 0.2mm derma roller. 
It is advised to not go above 0.5mm for home rolling. If you are considering anything above 0.5mm please seek a professional.
