Dermarollers actually work?

Dermarollers 

they have gained hype over past few years & it may appear scary to some people who are scared of needles but others have life changing experiences

but how does it work?

The concept of derma rolling or micro-needling is quite simple. Dermaroller works by creating tiny punctures into the skin to stimulate skin repair and cell regeneration. When the body sustains an injury or wound, it heals itself by creating new collagen

•  It can stimulate collagen and elastin, which repairs skin irregularities such as scars. 
• Hair loss – It can stimulate the scalp by stimulating blood flow and producing more of the hormones required to promote hair growth and increase follicle and hair size.
• it can treat hyperpigmented areas
• stretch marks 
• fine line & wrinkles, as it stimulate collagen & elastin production & increase blood flow

Micro needling was initially done by Dermatologist or in outpatient department under supervision as it can cause irritation to skin if not done properly but now they are available in market as dermarollers

Is micro needling painful?

it is not "painful" unless you are using dermaroller of 1.5mm or above which should only by done by dermatologist
but for smaller sizes it can cause slight discomfort but it is not painful.

how to choose a size?

there are different size of dermarollers & you should choose size according to you skin problem

how long it takes micro needling to show results?

it varies!

if you are doing at home & using a safe size & amount of needles it may take 4weeks to start showing results but it works

how many times a week can i use it?

for sizes that range from 0.5mm to 1.0mm you can use it twice a week

remove any dirt & impurities or makeup as it can cause infection and acne

step 2:
