DERMAROLLER ® MICRO-NEEDLING
When it comes to minimally invasive treatments, Micro-needling Collagen Induction therapy with the Dermaroller® is clinically proven and is perhaps one of the most successful treatments available for the appearance of aging such as wrinkles, loss of skin volume, and crepey skin. The Dermaroller® micro-needling treatment may even minimize scars and stretch marks. Dermaroller® therapy is intended to trigger the body’s spontaneous healing process, which may stimulate cell proliferation and may cause the formation of new collagen. The results are often visibly younger looking skin.
*Individual results may vary.
WHY IT WORKS
The Dermaroller® causes minimally invasive precision micro-injuries of the epidermis and dermis, without causing open wounds or ablative damage. The puncturing channels usually close after a short time and these micro-injuries are believed to trigger the body’s wound healing cascade, which may induce increased collagen production in the treated skin. Dermaroller® may trigger the construction of new tissue by stimulating healthy cell regeneration in precision-targeted areas that show the appearance of aging. It may effectively reduce wrinkles, tightens and thickens the skin, and – perhaps most impressively – may fill and smooth scars. *Individual results may vary.

FAQ’S ABOUT MICRO-NEEDLING
What is Dermastamp?
Dermastamp is treatment using very fine needles. It is a medical device used in micro needling to break down old scar tissue & to stimulate skin cells to proliferate. This cell multiplication results in the formation of new tissue layers of elastin and collagen fibres (neo-collagenesis) as well as in new capillaries for an improved blood supply (neo-angiogenesis). The procedures are called Scar Reduction Therapy (SRT) & Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)
What effects does the Dermastamp have on the skin?
The Dermastamp improves the thickness of the dermis as well as the epidermis. This in return improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles. It also has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as on hypo-pigmentation. Reduces disfiguring scars & acne scars, stimulates new collagen fibres, improves blood supply and harmonises pigmentation.
How is the Dermastamp procedure performed & does it hurt?
The skin is cleaned and afterwards numbed with an appropriate numbing cream so it should not hurt at all. Skin is thoroughly needled in such a way, that each skin part is needled about 15 to 20 times. An even flushing is the best indication for a perfect medical performance.
Is it is safe to use on all skin types?
Since Dermastamp does not use thermal heat (unlike IPL & Lasers) it is safe to use on all skin types and all skin colours. There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.
How often can the Dermastamp procedure be repeated?
For Collagen Induction Therapy we recommend to start with 3 treatments, but with a minimum separation time of 6 to 8 weeks between treatments. For Scar Reduction Therapy an average of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended, with an improvement of 70-80%. Unlike ablative procedures for facial skin only, the Dermastamp can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs, etc).
What are the side effects of a Dermastamp procedure?
There are virtually no negative side effects, and none have ever been reported in over 150,000 procedures performed worldwide.
What is the down time after a Dermastamp treatment?
The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 24 hours on average. In order to reduce visible redness, we recommend healing minerals, peptides and hyaluronic acid after the procedure, and to protect the skin with zinc based sun screen. We also recommend the use of mineral makeup to help with the healing.
What should I avoid on my skin?
To ensure the right healing environment, for 2-3 days avoid the use of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (for example – Glycolic Acid), Retinol, acidic or “active” ingredients.
What should I use on my skin after the Dermastamp treatment?
An Anti-Inflammatory Cleanser to soothe, Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, Copper and Silver to help heal, Zinc to help heal but also to protect.
What is a home care Dermaroller?
The Home Care Dermaroller have very short, fine needles, not more than 0.2 mm. The Home Care Dermaroller serves the following purposes:
a) To enhance active substance through the skin barrier(stratum corneum)
b) To improve and support results after and in between CIT treatments by: stimulating epidermal cells for proliferation that results in a faster renewal cycle of the epidermis and thickens the epidermal cell layers.
The Home Care Dermaroller will not stimulate collagen, but it helps to maintain a beautiful skin.
