Derma Rolling For Acne Scars

Reducing the appearance of acne scars and pitted scars is a common example of why people use derma rollers. While the process of acne/pitted scar removal can take much longer than, for example, stretch mark reduction or wrinkle removal, with a little patience, it is possible to significantly improve the appearance affected by both types of scarring.

Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars occur after the surface of the skin has broken during acne outbreaks. Our skin is naturally is able to heal itself, it can fail to restore itself to its former appearance. Those which suffer from acne scars, will have skin which whilst perfectly healthy, has failed to heal itself to a perfect cosmetic level.

The pitted areas where the scars remain, have reduced skin cells which were not replenished fully during the skins natural healing process after the acne outbreak. These pockets of skin suffer from a lack of collagen and elastin - the cause of the Acne Scarring.

Treating Acne Scars Using a Dermaroller

By rolling the affected areas with a derma roller, the natural process of skin renewal is activated. By stimulation the collagen and elastin production, the areas where the acne scars appear will begin to plump and smooth out, creating an improved skins surface.

Because the vast majority of acne scars appear on the face, the most common choice of needle length is a 0.5mm. In the minority of cases, or for those experienced in skin needling, individuals may opt for a 1.0mm.

How Long To See Results
