A derma roller is a skincare device used to treat acne scarring, reduce signs of ageing and rejuvenate the skin.

To puncture the skin, a derma roller is rolled over it. The roller contains small and fine needles. Upon rolling over the skin, a controlled skin injury is produced. Scar tissue can be broken using the needles.

The uses of derma roller are:
To boost collagen production for the treatment of scars and skin rejuvenation
To deliver therapeutic drugs
To reduce the pore size

The cost of a derma roller treatment session is from $100 to $700. The overall cost depends on the size of the area that is being treated. This cost cannot be covered by insurance.

The preparations that you need to do for a derma roller treatment are:
Disinfecting your roller
Washing your face
Applying numbing cream, if needed
Starting the derma rolling
Washing your face with water
Cleaning your derma roller
Continuing with your basic skincare routine
