How to use a Derma Roller
When you use Allure Derma Roller for the first time, you will get it out of a vacuum packed bag and it will be sterile.
First make the right choice of the length of the microneedle you plan to use according to your skin condition.
Wash thouroughly your hands and face before the procedure, rub well all areas to remove bacteria.
The Derma Roller should be used with short rolling movements. These have to be meticulously done, in orderly manner and without leaving a centimeter of skin without rolling. Uniformity of strikes, all performed with same strength and pressure on the device, will assure a smooth result. Follow 3 steps of needling to enhance the forming of the micro-channels. You have to roll in 3 directions on each area of your face: Horizontally, vertically, and diagonal around 7 to 15 times on each movement. Don't roll twice on a previously treated area on the same session.
Apply a cool mask or cold packs after a Derma Roller session. It has the effect of easing and eliminating post-session redness.
Use a sun blocking cream during 7 days after the procedure.
Allow an interval of 4-6 weeks between the procedures to get good results.
Clean the Derma roller
Wash thoroughly your dermaroller unit, with water and soap. Brush away any residual debris after using it. Then soak about 5-8 minutes with 90% alcohol, or use ultraviolet to disinfect for about 45 minutes. You can also use a cold sterilizer like Clorexhidine solution. Do not use chlorine, autoclaves, steam and high temperature sterilization methods.
What not to use to clean/disinfect your derma roller
Boiling water/an autoclave: Exposure to high temperatures can damage the needles of your derma roller.
Milton Sterilising Fluid: This product is not intended for use on metal and will corrode the needles of your derma roller.
