How it works‎:‎

ZGTS Derma roller contains 192 medical grade Titanium needles‎,‎ can be applied on any part of your skin‎.‎ Its application principle is by way of stimulating the dermis layer of collagen and fibroblast proliferation‎.‎  As a result of micro‎-needle stimulation‎,‎ it removes wrinkles and improves skin texture‎.‎

Micro‎-needle therapy requires regularly rolling on the skin surface which needs treatment‎,‎ accompanying with functional nutrition liquid‎.‎  It can puncture more than 250‎,‎000 micro vessels on the epidermal within five minutes‎.‎

It creates an efficient nutrient delivery system in the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue‎.‎  End result is beautiful skin‎!‎‎!‎

Application process‎:‎

• Wash your hands and the area to be treated thoroughly‎.‎
• Wipe the skin and your hands with anti‎-bacterial gel ‎(‎you can skip this step if you are using needle lengths of less than 0.5mm‎)‎‎.‎
• If you are using numbing cream‎,‎ follow the manufacturer‎'‎s instructions for use‎.‎ Always remove the cream completely before rolling ‎(‎you can use cotton pads soaked with alcohol to do this‎)‎‎.‎
• Rinse the derma roller under hot running water for a few seconds‎.‎
• Apply skin care product‎,‎ if using‎.‎
• Whilst pulling the skin taut with your free hand‎,‎ roll forwards and backwards over the area to be treated‎.‎ Roll 8‎-10 times in each direction‎:‎ vertically‎,‎ horizontally and diagonally ‎(‎forwards and back equals two rolls‎)‎‎.‎ Apply sufficient pressure for the needles to penetrate the skin to their full length‎.‎ Lift the derma roller slightly after each roll ‎- this will ensure that the needles create new micro‎-channels in the skin rather than going over the same ones repeatedly‎.‎
• Wash treated area and dry with a clean towel or air‎-dry‎.‎

After Treatment

• There may be some bleeding immediately after rolling but this is superficial and should simply wash away‎.‎
• Your skin will also look red after treatment‎;‎ this is normal and will fade after a few hours‎.‎
• Wait at least six hours before applying make‎-up and/or perfumed products to the treated area‎.‎
• Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours after treatment‎.‎

Roller Care

• Rinse the derma roller under hot running water after use‎.‎
• If there is any blood on the derma roller‎,‎ soak it in warm water with a little washing up liquid added until clean‎.‎ Be sure to rinse well with water afterwards‎.‎
• Sterilise your derma roller by standing it in disinfecting alcohol for at least 20 minutes‎.‎ If you are using a roller with titanium alloy needles‎,‎ do not use babies sterilising fluid ‎(‎e‎.‎g‎.‎ Milton Sterilising Fluid‎)‎ as this can damage the needles‎.‎
• After cleaning/sterilising‎,‎ place the derma roller on a clean towel until it is dry‎.‎  Once dry‎,‎ replace the needle cap and store the roller in a clean place‎.‎
• Whenever possible‎,‎ try not to let the derma roller‎'‎s needles come into contact with any hard surface ‎(‎doing so will make them blunt more quickly‎)‎‎.‎ 
• You will know when your derma roller needs replacing‎;‎ when the needles become blunt you will find it becomes more difficult to push them into your skin‎.‎

Rolling Frequency

• 0.2/0.3mm‎:‎ Every day or every other day
• 0.5mm‎:‎ 2‎-3 times a week 
• 1.0mm‎:‎ Once a week
• 1.5mm‎:‎ Once every two weeks if used lightly‎,‎ once every 3‎-4 weeks if used more vigorously‎.‎
• 2.0mm‎:‎ Once every five weeks ‎(‎Note‎:‎ It is usually not necessary to use needles longer than 1.5mm‎.‎ You should only use a 2.0mm derma roller if you are confident with skin needling and are able to safely judge which parts of the skin are thick enough to use this needle length‎)‎‎.‎

Remember that collagen production is a slow process‎;‎ it can take several months of skin needling before you see any real difference‎.‎ Have patience‎!‎ Results will come and remember your skin will continue to repair and renew even for months after your last treatment‎.‎ Good luck‎!‎
