Derma Roller For Acne Scar Treatment in Chandigarh
We all have skin imperfections and the most common and frustrating one is acne scars. Not only they are annoying during the breakouts but leave scarring and skin discoloration while going away. At AgeLock Skin Clinic, there is an effective treatment that can minimize the acne scarring.
The Derma roller technique is a hand-held micro-needling device that is applied to the affected area which is a go-to treatment for acne scars.
It is a skin treatment that is used for numerous skin conditions. It is performed by afflicting micro “injuries” that trigger the regeneration process and stimulate collagen production and elastin. Derma roller punctures the skin by penetrating the layers with tiny needles and these openings allow the healing process along with increased absorption of products used during the treatment, which helps the skin to restore and it emerges healthier.
How is it done?
Consultation: It is important to have a thorough consultation before starting the treatment. The dermatologist will ascertain the severity and the number of sessions to be done accordingly. A medical history will be discussed to allow the right combination of treatments.
Cleaning: This is an important step, as the skin is already broken it has to be cleared to not to damage any further and to prevent any infection from the product or makeup residues. The cleaning is done with specialized serums and medical-grade cleansers.
Numbing: Soon after the cleaning is done, a numbing cream or gel will be applied to the target area just to avoid any possible pain or discomfort during the treatment. Plastic seal wrap is also used to lock in for 15-20 minutes prior, to numbing and maximize the effects.
Skin Needling: Here comes the role of Derma Pen or Derma Roller. Once the skin is numb, doctors at Agelock Skin Clinic will start applying gel or cream to bring out the maximum results. The doctors will keep repeating the procedure of rolling the needles which could cause a little sensation which is very normal. Depending on the size of the area to be covered, the needling may last up to 30 minutes.
Cleaning: After the needling, cleaning is a must action which helps in removing dead skin tissues and slight blood residues, if any.
Mask/Serum: Lastly, the dermatologist will apply a specialized mask that helps soothe the entire face, after SPF can also be applied to be protected from harmful sun radiation for at least initial 24 hours.
