FAQs
Are derma rollers painful?
You've probably seen derma rollers advertised as a way to achieve brighter, smoother skin by activating the skin’s natural repair process - and maybe you've even been tempted to try one yourself. But before you take the plunge, you might be wondering: are derma rollers painful?
The answer is: not really. Most people who have tried derma rollers report only a slight prickling or tingling sensation.
You can also expect some redness initially when derma rolling or if you have more sensitive skin but it is suitable for all skin types.
Of course, everyone's pain tolerance and reactions can vary, so you may feel more discomfort than others. If you're worried about pain, you can always start with a smaller derma roller with fewer needles before you get accustomed to using a Microneedle Derma Roller.
At the end of the day, there's no need to let fear of pain hold you back from trying this effective and luxurious skincare treatment.
How can I ensure the longevity of my Micro-Needling Derma Roller?
It is important to replace your attachment heads after 15-20 uses or after 3 months. This ensures the needles remain sharp and effective.
Although derma rollers are generally considered safe, there is always a small risk of infection or damage if incorrectly puncturing the skin. For this reason, it is important to clean the device thoroughly before each use to avoid rolling over open wounds and to ensure the longevity of your Micro-Needling Derma Roller.
How often should I use my Micro Needling Roller?
If you want to keep your skin looking like a 10, using a Microneedle Derma Roller is a great way to do it.
But how often should you use your roller?
We recommend derma rolling 2-3 times a week ongoing for best results. This will help to keep your skin looking smooth and radiant, and will help to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
Of course, you can use your derma roller more or less often depending on your own needs and preferences. But if you want to keep your skin looking its best, we suggest using it regularly.
Do I need to see a doctor before I use a Microneedle Derma Roller?
While most people can safely use a Derma Roller at home, straight away, there are some exceptions.
If you are pregnant or have certain skin conditions (like eczema or psoriasis) or have open wounds/scars you should consult your doctor before Derma Rolling.
In addition, it is important to sterilise your Derma Roller before each use and to avoid unnecessarily rolling the same area more than once. With proper care, a Microneedle Derma Roller can be an effective way to improve the appearance of your skin.
Can derma rolling be used for hair growth?
If you"re looking for a new way to boost hair growth, you may have heard about derma rolling. Also called microneedling, this beauty treatment involves using a small roller with tiny needles to puncture the skin.
This may sound intense, but a hair growth derma roller is a relatively gentle way to stimulate collagen production and hair growth.
Derma rolling works by creating microscopic wounds in the skin. The micro-needling roller then triggers the release of growth factors that stimulate collagen production and hair growth. In addition, derma rolling increases the absorption of hair-loss treatments and hair-growth products.
This means that if you're using hair-growth serums or other products, a hair-growth derma roller can help them work even better.
If you are looking to grow your beard in particular, Lonvitalité sells a specialised Beard Derma Roller that works to stimulate hair growth at the beard.
Can I continue my other treatments if I start using a Face or Body Derma Roller?
Our derma rollers are designed to work with whatever treatments and skin care you choose to use. This means you can use your Lonvitalité Derma Roller in conjunction with injection treatments and fillers and salon treatments. However, we do recommend consulting with your physician for a personal treatment recommendation.
Using the Lonvitalité Microneedle Derma Roller is an easy and affordable way to improve your skin health whether in between appointments or if you are just following a simple skincare routine at home.
Derma rolling can also help you achieve results for your skin that you can do yourself at home
