Benefits of dermaroller

Benefits of dermaroller

The main benefit is that of stimulating new collagen and elastin which will help rejuvenate tired, flagging skin or repair acne scars or stretch marks.

Another benefit of dermaroller is that it adds extra value when used in conjunction with another skincare product or technique. If you are undergoing hair loss treatment then dermaroller enables the hair restoration lotion to be quickly absorbed into the skin thereby speeding up the results.

Dermaroller works well in combination with hair loss therapy and cellulite reduction treatments. The main reasons for this are easy absorption of any skin care products plus collagen growth which means younger, firmer and healthy looking skin.

Other benefits include:

• No damage to the skin
• Safe and easy to use
• It can be used to treat any area of the skin
• Suitable for all skin types
• Cheaper alternative to similar techniques
• Results in thicker, firmer and younger looking skin
