FAQ - Image A.D.S

What is derma rolling

Dermarolling is a process that uses these microneeedles to create tiny punctures on the skin which triggers skin repair. This leads to the body making new collagen. By doing this, proteins called amino-acids, build up in the collagen. This is the part of the connective tissue that helps in tightening , firmness, suppleness, and elasticity in skin.. This process vertically exfoliates the skin for a firmer, smoother appearance.

Can I use the Image A.D.S if I have filler/botox

The answer is yes! You can use the Image A.D.S if you have filler. Just stick to one golden rule: You have to wait 4 weeks after the filler is injected to ensure it does not move around when derma rolling the skin. A huge advantage of using the Image A.D.S correctly with filler is that you can actually get longer out of your filler as your body is naturally producing more collagen. **Consumer Warning** Just because a Doctor or Nurse recommends toxic and harmful chemicals does not mean it is right**
