What is Dermaroller Medical Skin Needling?
Medical Skin Needling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy and Micro-Needling, The treatment stimulates the body’s own collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, skin laxity and scarring such as that caused by acne or chicken pox.
This is achieved by introducing a series of fine, sharp needles into the skin following the administration of a topical local anaesthetic to reduce discomfort. The needles are attached to a sterile roller which is moved over the surface of the skin to create many microscopic channels or columns, at various depths of penetration.

Clinical studies have shown that Micro Needling can be more effective than treatments such as laser resurfacing, dermabrasion and chemical peels, additionally to be just as effective as treatments such as IPL, CO2 laser and fraxel in stimulating collagen and elastin production, thus thickening the skin which reduces wrinkles and scarring.
Why choose Dermaroller Skin Needling?
Skin Resurfacing vs Skin Needling
- Medical Micro Skin Needling is an alternative to Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing, which literally involves burning the superficial layer of the skin, resulting in redness, swelling, discomfort and down time (recovery or healing time) of 6 weeks or more. Many clients find the recovery time unsatisfactory and a gross infringement to their lifestyle, despite the treatment giving outstanding results.
- Skin Resurfacing by Skin needling (collagen induction therapy) is our alternative to ABLATIVE LASER Skin Resurfacing. It is similar in result to Fraxel laser resurfacing - it is just as effective at a fraction of the cost.
