How to use microneedle roller correctly
A microneedle roller is a roller with microneedles on the surface used to Pierce the skin. The process of piercing the skin is called microneedling. The stimulation of microneedles is said to help the skin produce more collagen, giving it a rejuvenating glow. The microneedle treatment also opens pores and promotes the absorption of serums and hydrating products. Microneedle rollers are mainly used on the face, but other parts of the body can also be treated with microneedles, especially on scar areas. The microneedle roller is very simple to use, but you must clean the skin and the roller before and after using it.
1、Disinfect the rollers before use. Microneedles can prick your skin, so they must be disinfected first. Place the roller in 70% isopropyl alcohol liquor and soak for 10 minutes.
70% alcohol is better than 99% because it doesn’t evaporate too quickly.
Lift the wheel after 10 minutes, shake off any excess alcohol, and set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
2、Rinse skin with warm water. Before microneedle treatment begins, you must clean your skin. You can carefully clean your face with a mild foaming cleanser and clean the rest of your body with soap or body wash. Clean skin is a necessary prerequisite to start microneedling therapy. Use a regular facial cleanser or bath product as long as it cleans your skin.
But don’t use harsh cleaning products, such as cleansers that contain salicylic acid. The milder the ingredients in the cleaning product, the better.
3、If the microneedles on the roller are longer, you should also disinfect the skin. The longer the microneedles are, the deeper they sting and the more likely they are to cause skin irritation. If the microneedle length of your roller is longer than 0.5 mm, both the roller and the skin should be disinfected. Gently dip a cotton pad in 70% rubbing alcohol and wipe all the skin to be treated with microneedles.
Part 2:Use the derma roller
-
Apply a little anesthetic cream first if necessary. Most people can tolerate a mild tingling sensation when a microneedle is applied to the skin, but if you find the pain intolerable, especially if the microneedle is 1 mm or greater in length, you can apply an anesthetic cream to the skin first. Apply lidocaine topical anesthetic cream to the skin and wait 20 minutes before starting the wheel. Before microneedle treatment, wipe off the excess anesthetic paste.
2、ertical roll. Start at the edges of your skin and roll it from the top down. If you roll on your face, avoid your eye sockets. Then lift the roller and roll the rolled part again. Repeat the same area 6 times. Then move the wheel and roll down an area until all the skin is fully stimulated.
If the microneedle length is equal to or greater than 1 mm, the skin may bleed slightly. Tiny spots of bleeding are normal, but if the bleeding gets too much, stop immediately and switch to shorter microneedles.
3、Sideways roll. Starting at the top or bottom of the skin, move the wheel horizontally across the skin. When you have finished rolling, lift the wheel, start from the starting position, and roll again. The same area should be rolled 6 times. Then move the wheel up or down a little and repeat the process until all the skin is sufficiently stimulated. You can also roll sideways, but the needle will sting unevenly.
4、Use the wheel for no more than 2 minutes. This is especially true when the wheel is applied to the face. The treatment of microneedle is easy to exceed the time limit, resulting in overstimulation of the skin, especially the facial skin. So you want to keep it under 2 minutes each time you use the wheel.
5、Do microneedle therapy every other day. Using the wheel too often can cause skin irritation. The microneedle treatment is performed three to five times a week at most, as the skin needs time to rest. Some people use the microneedle roller only once every six weeks.
Part 3:To pick up
1、Wash your face. When you’re done, wash your face. Since you’ve washed your face before, this time you just need to clean your face with water. If there is blood on your face, use a mild cleanser to clean your face.
-
Hydrate your skin. Hydrating your skin after microneedling treatment is good for your skin’s health. For example, applying a mask can both hydrate and repair the skin. You can also apply anti-aging or anti-wrinkle serums. The rollers have poked tiny holes in the skin, so the essence can penetrate deeper.
3、Clean the microneedle roller with dishwashing liquid and water. Clean the rollers with dishwashing liquid and hot water. Dishwashing liquid can remove fine skin tissue and blood stains from rollers more effectively than other cleaning products. Pour hot water and dishwashing liquid into a clean container, put the roller in, and shake it a few times.
4、Disinfect the rollers after use. Shake off excess water and soak the rollers in 70% isopropyl alcohol. After 10 minutes, lift the wheel, shake off the alcohol, and set it aside to dry. Finally, put away the dry rollers.
warning：
Don’t lend a roller to someone else. The microneedles on the wheel can Pierce the skin, so giving them to someone could expose you to a blood-borne disease.
