FAQs & Answers

  1. What is dermarolling? Dermarolling is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device covered in tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing product absorption.
  2. Why is it important to wait after dermarolling? Waiting after dermarolling is crucial because it allows your skin to recover from the micro-injuries created during the process. Applying products too soon can irritate the skin and hinder the healing process.
  3. What products should I use after dermarolling? After dermarolling, it's recommended to use only a gentle cleanser and a hydrating serum. Avoid makeup, sunscreen, and any active ingredients like retinol for at least 24 hours.
  4. How often should I dermaroll? The frequency of dermarolling depends on the needle size used. For shorter needles (0.25mm), you can dermaroll every 2-4 weeks, while longer needles (1mm and above) should be used less frequently, about once every 6-8 weeks.
