Dermarolling is suitable for atrophic scars but it is not recommended for hypertrophic or keloid and any other types of raised scars.
An advantage of a dermaroller is that it doesn’t cause any damage on the skin which is reassuring if you’re concerned that this treatment may worsen scarring.
It aims is to stimulate your skin naturally into growing collagen as repair mechanism that will also reduce your scars.
The treatment involves the use of a plastic roller which looks similar to a barrel attached with micro-needles. These needles puncture the skin but do not cause any pain or bleeding.
Dermaroller is moved up and down your scar tissue in a series of rhythmical strokes that has the effect of opening your pores of your skin. The pores remains open for up to an hour which means that thier at their most absorbent to the application of moisturizing creams, gel or lotions.
Maximum absorption is guaranteed during that hour which quicken the process of healing. This is particularly useful if you have prescribed an anti-scar gel or cream as it will enhance their effectiveness.
Your skin will start the rejuvenation and repair process. But the difference between normal skin healing and this is that this procedure will extend this process until otherwise directed.
If this treatment is used on a regular basis then the results will appear quickly. You may notice the reduction in your scars within couple of weeks or so but it all depend upon the extent of your scarring.
Generally, the thicker and/or deeper the scar the longer it will take to heal.
You really need to have a realistic expectations regarding this treatment: It is unlikely that this will completely remove scar/s but it will make a difference. Any scars you have will be reduced in size that they can hardly be seen.
The one exception is with minor scars which mostly disappear when treated.
Regular treatments can mean improved skin which maintains this state in several months.
