I'll tell you everything we know: What is the dermaroller, how it works, which one to buy, where to buy it... but first, let's get to the point 🚀:
The best dermarollers of 2024
Continuing to the point, we've already seen the trendy dermaroller, now I present to you the 3 best dermarollers we can find on Amazon. As we discuss stretch marks on this website, we've chosen 3 models with various heads so you can apply it to both more sensitive and problem-free areas like the face, as well as stretch mark zones such as the hips, buttocks, ...
GHB Dermaroller
Like the other 3 we recommend, the GHB dermaroller pack includes 3 heads of 0.5mm, 1.0mm, and 1.5mm ideal for fighting small facial wrinkles, spots, scars, and using a roller with larger needles, it's also perfect for the body for stretch marks and cellulite.
The number of microneedles, although not as crucial, is 1200 for the 1.5mm, 600 for the 1.0mm, and 180 for the 0.5mm.
Beautiful design, microneedles made of stainless steel. Those who have tried it affirm results from the first few days.
Kleem Organics Dermaroller
A recently released dermaroller with surgical titanium needles.
It comes with 0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 1.0mm needles, which are slightly smaller than the previous model and, therefore, may not be as effective for pronounced stretch marks.
It takes a bit of practice to change the roller the first few times.
At the time of writing this article, they give away a serum when you email them.
Dermaroller Incellice
The Incellice titanium dermaroller features needles ranging from 0.25 mm to 2.0 mm, ideal for treating acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and stimulating hair growth.
The 200 individual microneedles ensure effective penetration without damaging the skin. It comes in a double professional packaging to keep it clean and protected, and includes a storage case and a manual.
Users report visible results quickly and it has exceptional after-sales service.
Single-head Dermaroller
If you don't want to complicate your life with many heads and only want to treat a specific area of your body, then opt for a fixed-head dermaroller.
These are the ones we recommend and you can find them on Amazon with very interesting offers by clicking on the above links. There, you can see their features but basically, our first choice is the best of all, you can choose between different needle sizes according to the area and what you want to treat, remember that for treating body stretch marks we recommend needles starting from 1.00mm.
The other two choices are of a single size, the Tinksky 0.50mm, this size makes it ideal for generic treatments throughout the body when the marks or stretch marks are not very pronounced.
The last choice has a microneedle size of 1.00mm, ideal for more pronounced marks throughout the body, although for the face we recommend smaller needles.
What is a dermaroller?
You've already seen the photos, it's simply that, a roller with very, very fine and small needles that, when applied to the affected area, makes tiny little wounds on the skin, but don't be scared, it doesn't hurt, you won't bleed or anything like that....
Our body reacts naturally, just as it does with other treatments like laser stretch mark removal, stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin in the skin which, as you already know, is exactly what we need to eliminate stretch marks and scars. And, the double effect achieved with this device is that it helps in the absorption and penetration of products such as anti-stretch mark creams or serum, multiplying their effect by three according to the leading brands.
What is it for?
The dermaroller will help you to:
- Diminish scars and stretch marks
- Eliminate acne marks, chickenpox, ...
- Eliminate small skin spots such as sunspots.
- Dimish age wrinkles. - Combat cellulite.
- Improve treatment for alopecia.
How to use a dermaroller?
Its use is very simple and intuitive, I will detail all the steps so you have no doubts:
1. Thoroughly clean the area to be treated with soap, preferably antibacterial. If we are going to treat the face, we should be makeup-free. Some girls use the same disinfectant that we apply to the dermaroller.
2. Disinfect the dermaroller with an appropriate disinfectant, which we can also purchase on Amazon.
Here are the best-selling dermaroller disinfectants on Amazon
3. Now, simply, you should roll the dermaroller over the area to be treated by making back-and-forth motions, going over several times in different directions. To understand this better, to treat our face, we pass the roller from top to bottom across the entire face making several passes over the same spot, then do the same from left to right, then diagonally also across the entire face, and finally the other diagonal. Always apply gentle pressure, normal. If you want, you can start on the first day with a "feather-like" pressure and increase it as you continue with the sessions.
4. Apply the usual or specific serum or cream for our treatment, remember that some products are not recommended after using the dermaroller, for example, those with an alcohol base as it will sting or could irritate the treated area, I'll comment more about this below.
Here are the best-selling serums on Amazon
5. Clean and disinfect the dermaroller again. The best time to use it is at night, for instance, before going to sleep. The whole process will only take you a few minutes. When applying the dermaroller, the treated area tends to redden and it might take a few hours to regain its color. Night is a good regenerator, while your body recovers from the daily stress, your skin will also be grateful.
The recommendations for session distribution are:
0.20mm to 0.50mm: daily use. 0.75mm to 1.00mm: twice a week. 1.50mm: once a week.
When we start the daily treatment, it is ideal to do it for 5 or 7 consecutive days and then rest for the same number of days.
We will repeat the same sequence until achieving the expected result, from here, it will only be necessary to maintain it by doing a session every week, and later, every 15 days.
Does the dermaroller work?
There are opinions for all tastes, basically, if you are consistent, you will notice an improvement in your skin; you will see that the marks you have start fading as well as the small sunspots that usually appear with age.
Remember that to achieve good results, you must be very consistent.
My recommendation is that, for the price of a dermaroller, you should try it yourself and see for yourself.
Where to buy the dermaroller?
The truth is, I am making it very easy for you, in the links you find on this page you will access the best offers on Amazon directly. You can also find it in pharmacies, at El Corte Inglés but, why wait if you can have it now.
What dermaroller to buy?
Earlier I indicated the 3 best dermarollers you can find on Amazon but of course, each one of us is unique, and each one of us has our needs, for that, I am going to give you some guidelines to help you choose your dermaroller.
Basically, we need to look at three aspects:
1. The width of the roller: It will depend on the area to be treated, if you want to treat the face, a wide roller will be of no use, and if you want to treat the legs, with a narrow roller it will take forever, so the answer is easy, you have to choose the roller suitable for the area to be treated, the wider the area, the wider the roller can be.
2. The microneedles: The number of microneedles is not important for a better result, simply, the fewer the number, the more times we will need to pass the roller, most models are still very similar.
What you should pay attention to is the size of the needles. The size of the needle should be proportional to the depth of the scars to be treated and how sensitive the skin of the area is, to give you an idea, for anti-wrinkle and small facial marks treatments, we will use from 0.2mm to 0.5mm, and for stretch marks (depending on the length and color of the stretch mark) from 1.50mm onwards.
There are dermarollers with an interchangeable head with which you can change both the width of the roller and the length of the microneedles.
3. The material with which the dermaroller is made is important to consider. It should be resistant to avoid breaks, rustproof, hypoallergenic, which is why many brands manufacture their dermaroller from titanium. Its design should also facilitate its use.
Things to consider
Remember that the treated area will turn red, which is why we advise applying it at night. You should avoid sun exposure for the next 24 hours and we recommend using a high-protection sunscreen during the treatment.
Its use is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Do not use irritating cosmetics until your skin has recovered from the last session.
If you have atypical skin or any other problems such as active acne, fungi, do not use dermaroller and consult your dermatologist. And if you are unsure, consult them before using it. Never clean the dermaroller with abrasive products or industrial chemicals, always use recommended products.
Always treat the roller with great care to prevent the needles from breaking.
The dermaroller is a personal item and should not be shared with anyone to avoid infections of any kind.
Swiss Clinic, the trendy dermaroller promoted by Instagrammers and Youtubers
The dermaroller, or Skin Roller as its manufacturer calls it, that triumphed on Instagram and YouTube is the Swiss Clinic. It's a bit more expensive than the ones we've seen, but it's also a product of very good quality materials, so if you want to be trendy, you know.
At this moment, you can no longer find it on Amazon. I don't know if it was a passing trend...
There are 9 different needle sizes. You can also get it in a pack together with a Regenerating Serum, which, when applied after using the dermaroller, helps to improve the final result.
Girls, that's all for now, I hope I've helped you, and don't hesitate to try it to see for yourself.
