Micro Needling Dermaroller

What the Environ^® Cosmetic ROLL-CIT^TM and Dermaroller will do:

Micro Needling 1

To restore skin tightness in the early stages of ageing. This is a relatively minor procedure and can safely be recommended. In some cases it has been found that patients who were worried about having a face lift were satisfied with the result of simple needling of the skin. Great results in the skin above the eyes have been achieved as the elevation of eye brows is a natural result of healing.
To avoid laser especially in people with thin skin who cannot have laser resurfacing with safety.
Acne scarring. Great success with needling for acne scars. Illustration 1 shows you a patient before and after having needling for her acne scars. The results are superior to dermabrasion. This particular patient has had dermabrasion in the past and was very unhappy with the result.
Fine wrinkles are an excellent indication for needling of the skin.

Scars. As described by Camirand, scars are improved and if they are dis-coloured white, they may return to a more natural colour after needling.
This treatment does not only apply to the face and the neck, it is also ideal for other areas such as the arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and areas where stretch marks appear.

The Environ^® Medical ROLL-CIT^TM is a roller with needles for the natural induction of collagen.
This must be used by professionals such as surgeons, dermatologists and trained surgical assistants.
This product can be used by skin care therapist in clinics and treatment centres.
This product is intended to be used for surgical treatments.

Prior to the treatment, the patient is instructed to use adequate doses of topical vitamin A, C, E and beta-carotene both morning and night. The Environ^® Proactive or Ionzyme ranges are ideal for preparing the patient's skin. It is preferable to prepare the skin for about three weeks prior, with vitamin A in order to hasten healing and maximise the induction of collagen.
In some cases, better results will be achieved if the patient prepares the skin also with the Environ^® Cosmetic ROLL-CIT^TM.

A topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the skin or alternatively a local anaesthesia may be injected under the skin.
A trained therapist will then perform the CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) procedure.

By the evening after the procedure, the skin feels tight and looks awfully uncomfortable but it is only slightly sensitive. The patient can shower that evening but should apply C-Boost and may also use the Proactive creams or the Ionzyme series as well. Most patients prefer to shower the next day. They should ensure that they massage the face under the shower to remove all traces of the serum and the cosmetic products on the skin.
The next day, the skin is less dramatic in appearance.
By day 4 to 5 the skin has returned to a moderate pink flush that is usually easily covered with make-up. Make-up should not be used before the fourth of fifth day because of the greater potential of skin penetration from the needling.
At about this time it is preferable for the patient to have iontophoresis /and sonophoresis of vitamin A and C to maximise the induction of healthy collagen. Iontophoresis also tends to reduce any swelling of the skin. Collagen and elastin are building up and the skin gradually tightens up and the swelling disappears. The process can be repeated at anytime after the epidermis has healed completely.
