A dermaroller is a hand held device with microneedles. Before starting the procedure, we apply a topical numbing gel for 30 minutes, to the treatment area for optimal comfort. During the procedure, the needles of dermaroller traumatically create pores in the dermis, which stimulate the release of growth factors and cytokines. The growth factors and cytokines in turn create a wound healing cascade by stimulating collagen, elastin, and neovascularization. Needling sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. During the procedure, we at Earth & Ether Clinic apply serums to the treated area, specific to your skin concerns, (hyaluronic acid, growth factors and skin boosters for anti-aging); (vitamin C serums and skin enhancers for facial rejuvenation and glow); (vitamin E and rosehip oils for stretch marks); (collagen and elastin containing serums for acne scars).
