The dermaroller treatment works through a multi-stage healing response:
1. Immediate Collagen Stimulation: The micro-injuries activate fibroblasts (collagen
producing cells) in the dermis, signalling them to synthesise new collagen and
elastin fibres.
2. Growth Factor Release: The treatment releases growth factors and cytokines that
promote skin repair and regeneration.
3. Neovascularisation: New blood vessels form around the treated area, improving
blood flow and nutrient delivery to the skin.
4. Cell Turnover: The healing process accelerates skin cell renewal, helping to fade
scars, pigmentation, and surface irregularities.
5. Progressive Improvement: Collagen and elastin production continues for weeks to
months after treatment, with ongoing texture and appearance improvements.
Studies show that microneedling leads to significant reduction of scars through this natural
collagen remodeling process.
Dermaroller addresses multiple skin concerns through collagen induction:
• Acne Scar Reduction: Effective for treating depressed acne scars, rolling scars, and
boxcar scars by building up collagen in affected areas.
• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen to plump and soften expression lines
and wrinkles.
• Stretch Marks: Promotes collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of stretch
marks on the body.
• Enlarged Pores: Collagen induction tightens the skin, reducing pore size and refining
skin texture.
• Pigmentation and Dark Spots: Cell turnover helps fade post-acne marks, melasma,
and sun damage.
• Overall Skin Texture: Improves skin smoothness, firmness, and radiance with
cumulative treatments.
• Safe for All Skin Types: Works effectively on all skin tones without risk of
hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation when performed correctly.
The treatment also regulates sebum production, making it beneficial for oily and acne
prone skin.
Professional microneedling at Cutis Hospital is a controlled, comfortable procedure:
1. Consultation and Assessment: Your dermatologist evaluates your skin, discusses
your concerns, and determines the appropriate needle depth (0.5–2 mm) for your
specific condition.
2. Numbing Cream Application: A topical numbing cream is applied 20–30 minutes
before treatment to minimise discomfort.
3. Skin Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a conductive serum or
hyaluronic acid may be applied to enhance needle gliding.
4. Microneedling Treatment: The dermaroller is gently rolled across the skin in
multiple directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) at controlled pressure. The
sensation is typically described as mild prickling or vibration.
5. Post-Treatment Serum: Calming, hydrating, or growth-factor serums are applied
immediately to reduce inflammation and enhance healing.
6. Sunscreen Application: SPF 30+ is applied before leaving.
Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Standalone Results:
• Light redness and mild swelling may occur for 24–48 hours but resolve quickly.
• Skin texture improvements become visible within 2–4 weeks as new collagen forms.
• Progressive scar, wrinkle, and texture reduction continue for 8–12 weeks.
Enhanced Results with Combination Treatments:
Dermaroller is highly effective when combined with other therapies:
• Dermaroller + Chemical Peels: Enhances exfoliation and collagen induction for
faster scar and texture improvement.
• Dermaroller + Radiofrequency: Deepens collagen remodeling for more pronounced
skin tightening and scar revision.
• Dermaroller + Growth Factors / PRP: Accelerates healing and collagen production
for superior anti-aging results.
Treatment Plan:
• Most patients require 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
• Maintenance sessions can be done quarterly to sustain improvements.
• Results continue improving for months after the series ends.
