After an initial consultation with your practitioner, if it is agreed that you will benefit from this treatment, local anesthetic is applied to the affected area so as to numb it and is allowed to work over the course of 30 minutes. The actual dermaroller procedure takes 20-30 minutes and is virtually painless. During your derma roller treatment courses, an ampoule containing a cocktail of 92 ingredients with different vitamins and anti-oxidants will be rolled in deep into your skin to boost the rejuvenation effect. Following the treatment, a soothing cream is applied and should be continued to be applied at home for the next couple of days.
For the fist 24 hours post-procedure, the affected area will look red and may be slightly swollen (very similar to the appearance of mild sunburn). This is a normal expected result and it is not painful.
Although significant results are often seen following the first treatment, your practitioner with generally recommend between 3 to 6 treatments for optimum and long-lasting effects.
