Dermal/Medical Roller

The results of Skin Needling are superior to Dermabrasion and other abrasive treatments.

Skin Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) is the latest skin renewal technique to restore the healthy youthful appearance of your skin, at a fraction of the cost and with minimal or zero downtime. Skin Needling produces similar results to Dermabrasion, Lasers and Deep Chemical Peels, but is much less invasive and does not require the removal of the epidermis. As a result the healing time is significantly shorter and there is no post-treatment skin sensitivity to UV light. Skin Needling is also one of the few skin therapies that is suitable for treating all skin types, including ethnic skin, and which can be used to treat the fragile skin around the eyes, mouth and on the neck.

Skin Needling is a simple, safe, painless and virtually risk-free treatment for:

  • Wrinkles and lines
  • Lack of skin firmness and elasticity
  • Scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Pitting from Acne
  • Sun damage
  • To diminish the appearance of old surgical scars
  • To lighten pigmentation marks
  • Stretch Marks

WHAT IS THE SKIN NEEDLING?

Skin Needling creates a multitude of tiny puncture wounds to the dermis which induces the release of growth factors that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. Creating dermal damage without removal of the healthy epidermis, as with other resurfacing techniques, means the healing time is rapid and does not cause any comparable pain. Results are quick and will last. The Dermaroller induces collagen synthesis by creating micro-punctures in the epidermis without compromising its integrity, without a prolonged down time and without a high risk of complications. Finally, Dermaroller is also the most cost-effective way of effective skin regeneration when compared to other therapies

WHAT IS SKIN NEEDLING USED FOR?

  • To restore firmness and tightness to flaccid skin. A less invasive alternative to small face-lift and eye-lifting procedures (great results in the skin above the eyes can be achieved due to natural elevation of eyebrows as a result of healing)
  • To thicken the epidermis and enhance dermal compactness Suitable alternative to ablative resurfacing treatments in patients with thin skin A virtually painless and cost-effective treatment alternative to non-ablative laser therapy (i.e. Fraxel)
  • To smooth wrinkles, lines and folds Suitable alternative for injections with collagen, hyaluronic acid and other types of dermal fillers due to natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and other components of intracellular matrix

HOME CARE

The first roller available was the size 0.2 mm Roll Cit, which is used for the aid in a delivery system of skin care in to the skin, the first 0.2 was the brain wave of Dr Des Fernandes and he invented it to help with the penetration of Environ Skin Care. Dr Fernandes knew he had a skin care that worked and wanted a way to get his active ingredients in to the lower layers of the epidermis to help feed the skin cells. The Roll Cit alone will not stimulate collagen, the application of the Environ Skin Care will aid in collagen stimulation due to the active ingredients.

We have been selling the 0.2 mm for home care use for many years now and ONLY with the Environ Skin Care. It becomes part of your homecare routine if you want your skin to look the best it can.My advice is be careful as to what you buy over the internet and then be even extra careful as to what skin care you use with your home care roller. Please keep in Mind Dr Fernandes invented the 0.2 home care Roll Cit for ONLY IN AIDING PENETRATION OF ENVIRON he knows the relationship his skin care has with the cells of the skin. I am unable to advise on the relationship of any other skin care and its effect on the skin once you have rolled.

There are other size home care rollers now available but be careful and please take advise form a skin care professional before you venture in to this type of homecare. Please feel free to ask us any further questions on this topic.

PROFESSIONAL

Form the research of study Oretreich&Oretreich, Dr Fernandes realised the potential of a 1mm medical roller professional treatment for a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment.

There have been many white papers written on the 1 mm and the 3 mm. The 1mm has now become one of the most successful non evasive skin rejuvenation skin treatments.

CAN ANY ONE HAVE THE TREATMENT?

It is advisable to be on Environ Skin Care for at least one month before and we would like you to have an Environ Skin treatment before we will treat you, this is not a sales ploy but a vital ingredient in achieving a stronger healthier skin. Active acne is an untreatable condition, Certain drugs, diabetes, any blood conditions, if you suffer from cold sores we may not be able to treat the lip area.

BEFORE THE TREATMENT?

In your first Environ Skin treatment we will test your skin with the anaesthetic cream and test the roller to give you an idea of the procedure.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

We will cleanse your skin and apply an anaesthetic cream to the area to be treated, this stays on for 1/2 an hour to 45mins. Once the area is numb we will start to roller the skin. We will then apply some Environ Vitamin A & C products and will finish off with an LED treatment. We advise you to give us 2hrs of your day. Your skin can be VERY RED upon leaving and you are not able to wear make up for 24/48 hrs. We will only advise Environ skin care to be used for 72hrs and under no circumstance apply any thing to your skin unless we have said. Your skin can feel hot and even sun burnt this will subside after 24 hours.

HOW OFTEN DO I COME IN?

You can come back within 3/4 weeks and we advise you do 6 in all. After you finish your 6th you will keep noticing you skin improve for 2 months. We advise you to carry on with your Environ treatments and after 3 months we can do another Medical roller.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Apart from a red, may be a sore face, no we have not experienced any adverse side effects, as long as you follow our home care advice.
