Collagen Induction Therapy with the Microneedle Dermaroller
The Microneedle Dermaroller is a small plastic roller studded with about 200 extremely fine needles of medical grade stainless steel. The skin reacts to these pricks like it reacts to any other wound with the formation of the various growth factors. This process of stimulating collagen tissue production is a normal physiological reaction and is known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT).
The cumulative effect of multiple uniform needle pricks on the skin surface has significant effects on the quantity and quality of collagen in the skin. The new collagen layer becomes a confluent layer, and forms a new tissue layer, which to a certain extent can compensate the age-degraded skin.
The treatment with the Dermaroller has no negative side effects compared with laser resurfacing or acid-peeling.
When lasers or acids are used for peeling, they do nothing other than producing a 2nd degree burn on the dermis, by evaporating the epidermis at the same time. The dermis reacts to these stimulants as it does to all injuries. Methods that remove the epidermis are associated with many side effects, including prolonged downtime (healing can take up to six months or more), increased sun-sensitivity for many months, risk of pigmentation problems, scars, and so on.
The formation of new collagen fibres and new tissue takes time. The results from each treatment can only be judged after eight to twelve weeks at the earliest. Then it can be decided if the treatment should be repeated.
