A dermaroller is a skin care device used to help rejuvenate the skin, treat acne scarring, and reduce signs of aging. But how does dermarolling work? Dermarolling or microneedling is a process that was originally carried out by a dermatologist. Nowadays, it is also commonly done at home with little training.

What is derma roller used for?

Microneedling with dermaroller is a new treatment modality for the treatment of scars, especially acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and for facial rejuvenation. It is a simple and relatively cheap modality that also can be used for transdermal drug delivery.

Do derma rollers actually work?

Is It Really Effective? While derma rollers are effective, they won't produce the kind of results that you would likely get from a micro-needling session at a dermatologist's clinic. Nevertheless, using a derma roller a few times a week will help in better penetration of skin care products that you apply afterwards.
