Derma Roller facial for new collagen growth

53 Comments

song hye kyo

I haven’t gone for a facial in months, simply because I no longer believe in the benefits they promise to deliver.  Over the years that I’ve had facials, I didn’t really see a significant improvement to my skin condition.  However, I’ve recently been considering going for a medical facial called the Derma Roller Facial.

Unlike your normal facial, the Derma Roller Facial is said to be a one-of-a-kind facial that uses a roller with multiple acupuncture-like points on your face to activate the skin cells to increase collagen production, ultimately leading to new healthy, plump looking skin with less wrinkles.  Already, I know of a few people, men included, who had good things to say about this particular medical facial.

And according to what I’ve picked out from The Sloane Clinic in Singapore, Derma Roller Facial helps collagen surge to the skin’s surface, thus amplifying the benefits of vitamin penetration and hydration by 4000%.  I don’t really know what those figures means, but they sure sound impressive to me.

The Derma Roller Facial is said to be beneficial for wrinkled, pigmented, sun damaged skin; skin with large pores; as well as skin with blemishes or pitted scars. The facial apparently has little downtime and is said to be painless.  Immediate after effects are redness and some have even experienced bleeding.  Each session cost around S$500 in Singapore, depending on the clinic you go to and most require two to four treatments to see desired results.

I’m currently finding a suitable clinic and waiting to find a good time before I head out for the treatment.  I’ll report back again when I do of course.

    Please keep me posted on the outcome. I gave up on facials, too.

    Sure! I’ll definitely do a review over here.

    Hi, you can try Wen & Weng at Vivo City. I’ve been seeing Dr Chee for a while & had undergone 2nd treatment of Derma Roller. His charges are a lot cheaper than Sloane.

    Jez: Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check the clinic out.

    I tried this derma roller for 3 sesions already and i noticed very big improvement on my skin, even my friends noticed that my skin improved… i have deep acne scars then but now, they are less noticeable… i recommend this to all types of skin esp to those with acne scars like me

    You can actually buy your own Derma Roller on eBay for a fraction of the cost. Most last about 3 – 4 months. That’s what I’m going to do, for about $69 -$100.

    emmelou: Hey, that’s great savings.

    If anyone is interested, the I bought my Dermaroller from a new European company selling Dr.Roller Derma Rollers.

    They have very good prices – one Derma Roller only for 69 USD (including worldwide shipping).

    You may look dr-roller.eu for more info.

    hi. im a dermatologist from the phil and yes, derma roller is really good for acne scars, wrinkles and hair loss. i’ll be coming over to singapore sometime next month because a lot of my friends there told me that dermaroller is really very costly in singapore. they asked me to buy for them here. if you’re interested, you may contact me. and yes, you need to consult a dermatologist first before you do it. you need to apply some medications pre and post treatment.. visit my site at gwenzie.multiply.com.

    Gwen: Thanks! I’ll check up your site. However I would rather have a derma do it for fear of permanent scarring since I have no idea how to use this.

    I tried this facial roller, it’s really great. You can use it for any part of the body. It’s many-needle acupuncture of the certain zones and the biologically active points (reflex reaction) and by micromassage of the skin and underlying tissues. And also galvanic and electric stimulation.
    You will feel the result after the first session.
    I found a roller just for £20 in 24wellness.co.uk

    Mila: I asked the derm if I can use it during my recent visit. He thinks it’s not for me though. So from what you’ve described, it’s quite easy to use it on your own.

    I did one at the clinic and received the roller so I could continue the treatment myself. The immediate effect is very impressive two days after the treatment but after a week it seems to be gone. I was told that it is cummulative and after several treatments the results become permanent. Be very careful with sun, wear sun block at all times or you will get pigmentation.

    Ed: The dermatologist said I don’t need to do this and I also learnt later that it’s really damaging long term cos your skin can get sensitive to the sun.

    Yes, it is a very abrasive treatment that should be done only if necessary. I have acne scars and I have done from chemical, cool touch, CO2 mosaic, all had only relative success and were too expensive to be repeated. Derma roller does give the same results and although I am not sure if the results will be permanent, they can be repeated at no cost at home once you got the treatment done at the clinic once.

    Ed: Yes, I read of some people doing it at home and that’s why people are looking for the roller.

    Hi all,
    ? Is this product safe ? I’m thinking of purchasing to get rid of wrinkles (vain I know!) and uneven skin tone from sun damage. As I live in Australia I will be exposed to the sun after treatment.

    It would be good to get as many opinions as possible.

    You only need a clinic if you want to use needles above 1.5mm, otherwise you can do it in the comfort of you home, if you take the necessary precautions and use the instructions at stated.

    I did an article about this, you can have a look at http://hubpages.com/hub/Derma-Roller-Reviews

      It might work if you don’t have hairy hair but you probably need confirmation. Suggest you check with the source that sold you the equipment. Or if you’re having it done by the derm, then he/she would be in the best position to tell you.

    Hi iv recently had training on the derma roller i wouldnt advise anyone use any thing above 0.3 at home . Above 1.00 mst be done by a doctor . i use the o.2 3 times a week i love it . i apply the products after the treatment . i apply retinol o.3 sometimes phloretin Cf ( l-ascorbic acid) . The roller we use is medik 8 which has titanium needles . the medix 8 range is great it uses derivatives of retinol so its more suitable for the super sensative and they have a great vit c. Please be careful with these rollers certain ones are for body use only .

    I tried this derma roller for 3 sesions and
    there is reduction of wrinkles and skin more firm after each time of treatment. Though, it didnt last for long time..after 3 weeks,
    the wrinkles shows again.

    You forgot to mention that derma rollers can also be used on the body. I’ve now bought my second roller (because you are supposed to replace the roller every 6 months or so as the needles dull out) for my hip stretch marks. They are actually a lot less visible now so I’m hoping another 6 months might clear them up totally.

    Hi!
    I bought a derma roller at http://www.dr-roller-shop.com/
    Yet to arrive. I guess it’s gonna take a couple more days. The comments above make me worry! I do have the tracking number, and the product is from Estonia.
    Is the link above the banned website that you mentioned?

    By the way, where can I find good derma rollers in Singapore? I rather get them locally then waiting and worrying if my products arrive or not..

    By the way, anyone tried on their scalp? Some medical reports stated that it’s very effective.
