More on Dermal Rolling

Important, Breakthrough Information Regarding Dermal Rolling.

As you are probably well aware we are passionate about dermal rolling and why not an
inexpensive, non-invasive, highly effective little tool that has a multitude of benefits for
your skin. Naomi did a lot of research and trials before settling on the green .05 mm
rollers that we sell but in a never ending quest for optimum results we have come
across some important research that has changed the rolling protocols we had previously
advised.

Based on the research of Dr Lance Setterfield M.D. who has been researching skin rolling
for over 5 years we are advising that you only roll with the .05 roller once a month,
that’s right once a month!
The reason being is that this length of needle is the length that causes a micro trauma by
creating minute punctures in the skin at the basal layer resulting in a mild inflammation
response that initiates collagen induction. Rolling with this length of needle will also
stimulate the skin’s wound healing mechanism consisting of anti – fibrotic, pro –fibrotic,
inflammatory cytokines and collagenase.

Rolling more than once a month with the 0.5 will cause collagenase to be permanently
peaked and this will break collagen down as fast as you make it. Collagenase is a protein
that attacks the protein bonds of collagen hence destroying it. Treating once a month
allows the healing cascade to follow the normal pathway. Also too frequent rolling with a
0.5 results in too much of a inflammatory response, and we want to minimize this.
But remember there is more to rolling than just collagen production, there is a great
textural improvement in the skin, increased product absorption and increased
circulation. These benefits can be obtained by using a 0.3 mm roller (cosmetic roller)
4 times per week without creating any trauma to the skin.


In summation our new rolling protocols are

• Roll or have a Salon treatment once a month with a 0.5mm roller
to stimulate collagen production, treat deep lines and scarring.
• Use a 0.3 mm 4 times per week to increase micro circulation, improve product
absorption and the texture of the skin.
