Sun Damaged Skin Treatment

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays of  sun has an ageing effect on our skin. It reduces skins elasticity which means the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

 

Another effect of it is age spots which is a pigmentation problem caused by abnormal concentrations of melanin (determines skin colour) in an area of our skin.

 

If you have bought dermaroller to use at home then find out about how this treatment work by visiting our how to use a dermaroller page.

 

But if you prefer going on a clinic then read on..

 

You will be given a topical cream  which helps to numb the skin. Dermarolling procedure is painless but some people find that their skin has sunburnt appearance.

 

Most people feels a  tingling  or prickling sensation.

 

Dermaroller is a small, hand held device  which contains micro-needles. There are many kinds of needle lengths which vary according to the nature of  treatment.

 

For example, deep stretch marks are treated with longer needles, for example 2.0 mm in length while small acne scars may  require 0.5 mm and/or 1.0 mm.

 

Your colour, skin type, nature of skin problem and your own preference will determine the length of needle used.

 

The dermaroller is rolled up and down on skin in a series of quick strokes followed by the rubbing in of a vitamin enriched. and this then repeated

 

The session takes 1 hour.  30 minutes to allow the anaesthetic to work then 30 minutes for the actual treatment.

 

As the roller moves over our skin it penetrates the pores on the very top layer of skin. It also has the effect of stimulating blood flow to that area as well as the growth of collagen. This then rejuvenates the skin as well as repairing the signs of sun damages.

 

You will be then advised to use moisturisers on your skin after the treatment to prevent it from drying out. This is an effect which occurs as the skin begins to regenerate over the next few weeks.

 

It will take weeks before you can notice the improvements on your skin but once they occur then they will last for several months afterwards.

 

You may need to have additional treatments if you want to maintain these results. And its also important to continue to care of your skin after the treatment to prevent it from becoming dry.
