Dermaroller is one of the treatments in the subgroup of micro-needling. Dermaroller opens channels on the skin with its rotating cylinder-shaped mechanism that contains micro needles (mm needles). Through the channels opened, the mineral, vitamin and protein structure that the skin needs is delivered under the skin.
These structures transmitted under the skin allow the skin to regenerate. The micro channels created during the procedure are perceived as wounds by the skin and the skin begins to repair and renew itself. In the natural wound healing process, collagen, elastin and hyaloronic acid production is triggered.
Thus, skin regeneration takes place in the problem area. Dermaroller needles can be found in different sizes, the needles are usually 0.75 mm and 0.5 mm in length.
