Everything you need to know about the Dermaroller: What, Why and How?

If you are looking for an effective way to improve your skin, you have probably heard of the dermaroller, also known as a skin roller or microneedling.

This small but powerful device can do wonders for your skin, but it's important to know how to use it correctly to achieve the best results. In this blog post, I'll explain everything you need to know about the derma roller, from how to use it to how to care for it.

What is a Dermaroller?

A derma roller is a skincare tool with hundreds of tiny needles that roll over the skin. By rolling these microneedles over your skin (so don't press, hence the name derma roller ), you stimulate the production of collagen and elastin , which can help improve your skin texture, reduce fine lines, and fade scars.

How can dermarolling stimulate collagen production?

If you cut your fingers, your body knows it needs to heal. You don't have to do anything. That's the skin's own self-healing ability.

Your body will then close the cut. The collagen will go where it's needed, right to that cut. The bleeding will then stop, and a scab will form.

So when you make small holes in the skin with the dermaroller (holes are not visible to the naked eye), your skin knows that it has to close those tiny holes.

So collagen production is further stimulated in those areas of the skin. And that, after regular dermarolling, produces a skin-tightening effect. Exactly what you want.

What do you need for proper and hygienic dermarolling at home?

A good professional metal derma roller with sharp needles that can be reused. Plastic derma rollers are designed for multiple uses and are often disposable.

- A special Cleansing Spray for optimal disinfection of the needles.

- A storage box so that the dermaroller can be stored hygienically.

- Good instructions (preferably with video ).

How do you use a Dermaroller?

Using a dermaroller is not difficult and can be done at home, but there are a few important steps you should follow:

1. Cleanse your skin: Wash your hands and cleanse your face thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.

2. Disinfect the derma roller: Hold the derma rollers under warm running water. Then disinfect with a suitable disinfectant such as LAYZIN Cleansing Spray. Let the derma roller dry.

3. Prepare the skin for treatment with the Cleansing Spray with disinfectant mentioned above. This is very suitable for the skin.
   
   

4. Roll gently over your skin: Place the derma roller on your skin and gently roll over your face in different directions, but always in one direction: horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Be careful not to press too hard. And don't roll back and forth!

1. Care for your skin after the treatment: After using the dermaroller, your skin may be red and slightly sensitive. Use a suitable moisturizing serum (fragrance-free).
2. Before bed, you can apply a calming mask with restorative properties, such as the Recover & Energize Mask . This is a night mask and stays on your skin overnight. Apply it thinly, just like a cream.
3. Note: Most serums and creams are NOT suitable for use with the dermaroller. Therefore, don't be tempted by cheap serums that contain ingredients you don't want to penetrate your skin.
4. LAYZIN has developed serums specifically designed for use with the derma roller. To help you get started, we've put together DERMAROLLER SETS to ensure everything works together. You can be confident that the SET will improve your skin.

How often do you use a Dermaroller?

This depends on the thickness of your skin and your skin problem : fine lines or deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, sagging jawline or neck, large pores, etc.

Use the shortest needles (0.35 mm) to treat delicate skin areas like those around your eyes . Use them a maximum of twice a week until you've achieved your goal: reduced sunken eyes, fewer fine lines, and firmer skin.

The dermaroller with longer needles (0.55 mm) is used on thicker areas of the skin, such as your face, neck, décolleté, and hands.

The 1.2 mm dermaroller is used for the rest of your body and scalp. Scalp dermarollers usually have longer needles because the holes created allow the hair growth serum to penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the hair roots and working precisely there.

What should you pay attention to when buying a dermaroller?

To give you an idea of ​​what's available on the market, we tested more than 20 derma rollers before developing our own.

The benefits of the LAYZIN Dermaroller

There are many derma rollers on the market, but they vary in quality. From disposable derma rollers to professional derma rollers.

The LAYZIN Dermaroller is unique thanks to a number of key features:

• Interchangeable heads: Over time, the needles of a derma roller can become blunt, reducing their effectiveness and increasing the risk of skin damage.
  With the LAYZIN Dermaroller, you don't have to replace the entire roller; you can simply swap out the roller head. This not only saves you money but also ensures a safer treatment.

• Metal handle: Another major advantage of the LAYZIN Dermaroller is its sturdy metal handle. This allows you to apply the correct pressure, allowing you to use the roller optimally.
  With plastic derma rollers, the handle is often less stable, which can lead to you pressing too hard and damaging your skin.

The Dangers of a Bad Dermaroller and Incorrect Treatment

A dermaroller can be a great addition to your skincare routine, but it's important to know that there are risks involved if you don't use it correctly.

A poor-quality derma roller or incorrect technique can lead to skin damage, infection, and scarring. Always use a high-quality derma roller and follow the instructions carefully.

Never lend your dermaroller head to anyone else.

Always follow hygiene guidelines. Don't underestimate what can happen if you don't dermaroll hygienically.

Because you're creating punctures in the skin, it's important to disinfect the derma roller properly. The needles of a derma roller penetrate the epidermis. You don't want bacteria to stick to them and penetrate the skin during dermarolling.
