What Are the Benefits of Dermarolling?

According to Dr. Hadley King, a dermatologist in New York City, the benefits of dermarolling include everything from immediate skin plumping to scar improvement.

Dermarolling can benefit all skin types, though those with sensitive skin should be mindful. "I would recommend dermarolling for someone who does not have extremely sensitive skin, and I would not recommend dermarolling on inflamed, cystic or broken out skin," Dr. King says.

Those with more mature skin will likely find it particularly useful, as it's an ideal method for filling in fine lines and wrinkles, thickening the skin under the eyes (helping to diminish the appearance of dark circles and bags), and even plumping up lips. Dermarolling is also an effective treatment for acne scars and discoloration because it penetrates the skin so deeply, helping to break up old scar tissue and stimulate healing.

PEP Growth Factor Products: An Alternative to Hyaluronic Acid Serum

The hyaluronic acid serum is an excellent way to recover the micro-injuries sustained during the rolling process, but the increased absorption from the procedure doesn’t apply to hyaluronic acid alone. Almost any kind of serum, lotion, or beauty product can be absorbed by the skin more efficiently after the derma rolling procedure, as long as the active ingredients work on the skin. Aside from hyaluronic acid, there are other compounds and ingredient lists that work on sensitive skin or irritated skin – but for cases like hair rejuvenation or regrowth, PEP Growth Factor products are an excellent choice.

Made from a proprietary mixture of copper peptides and fibroblast growth factor, PEP growth factor products are applied directly to the scalp after micro-needling. Since the product doesn’t interfere with how a microneedle roller works, it’s safe to apply to the skin after treatment. The microneedling procedure itself also doesn’t interfere with how effective the product works – for best results, it’s advisable to apply PEP Growth Factor products no less than 2 days after microneedling.

PEP Growth Factor products may help improve hair density, promote scalp growth, and may possibly increase the benefits of a microneedling session, even if the patient has a darker skin tone or sensitive skin. Since it doesn’t contain any harsh ingredients, it’s unlikely to cause any severe side effects.

The difference between microneedling and dermarolling

You might have heard people using the terms dermarolling and microneedling interchangeably, but it's important to know that these two treatments are not the same. Microneedling refers to a procedure performed by medical professionals that cause some minor trauma to the skin, while dermarolling refers to the DIY version of this procedure (which causes a lot less trauma), according to Healthline.

Speaking to Teen Vogue, Dr. Joshua Zeichner, dermatologist, explains that the main difference between microneedling and dermarolling lies in the length of the needles and the tools used. "The at-home devices tend to be rollers because they are safe and easy to use. Most of the professional treatments tend to be pens," he explains, adding, "For safety reasons, any micro-needling device that you use at home will not penetrate deep into the skin. For this reason, at-home rollers are more effective in treating hyperpigmentation rather than acne scars." Zeichner says that the reason a dermaroller won't be able to target acne scars as effectively is because the collagen responsible for their formation is buried under more layers of skin than a dermaroller's needles can reach.
