Reduce and Remove Acne Scars with Derma Rollers
Men and women the world over struggle hard to get rid of acne scars, some of them go for laser treatments, while others take up cosmetic surgery as the way out. But, these methods not only cost more, they become the root cause for other skin problems such as hyper-pigmentation, which causes the development of dark spots over the skin.
In comparison, derma rolling is considered to be a safer and a less expensive way to remove acne scars. It costs far less than other methods, and naturally induces the production of collagen and elastin to heal the scars and produce smooth and younger looking skin.
How does derma roller work on acne scars?
If you are acquainted with what a derma roller looks like, you’ll know it’s a handheld device, with its head mounted with hundreds of tiny pins. When you roll it over the skin surface, it creates miniscule punctures through the skin, thus opening all the skin pores. The process is not painful, but does cause a tingling sensation.
When these minuscule entries are made into the skin, the brain is tricked to believe that the skin has been injured and requires greater production of collagen and elastin for its repair. In fact it is believed that brain transmits signals to the skin to produce almost 1000% more collagen than normal. This boosts the healing process of the scars manifold, and after a few sessions, successfully removes the scars forever.
Steps to use derma rollers for acne scar removal 
- Begin by cleansing the area of the skin that needs derma rolling. Also cleanse and disinfect the derma roller.
- Tap the skin dry and roll over the derma roller by applying moderate pressure over the skin.
- Depending upon the nature of the acne scars, choose the needle length carefully. For instance, if you have mild scars use needle size 0.50mm, and for deep scars, one can use anywhere between 1.00mm and 2.5mm needle size.
- The best derma roller for acne scars recommended by most physicians is Dr. Roller Derma Roller, the only FDA approved roller that can be purchased without prescription.
- Use derma roller for acne scars at least 3 to 5 times a week. This will produce sufficient amounts of collagen and elastin, which will make the skin cells push upwards, and smoothen out the pits caused by acne scars.
