needles to cause controlled injury to the skin to rejuvenate wrinkles and acne
scarring.” This process is also called DermaRolling. In this procedure, skin
that is damaged by aging factors, is treated with very tiny pins. These pin are
made of stainless steel which is being used in medical and skincare products. A
hand-held roller holds some 200 very sharp and small pins. These pins usually

roller over the damaged skin to create controlled wound. This trick stimulate
the production of collagen which tighten the skin and remove the aging factors,
acne and other damages caused by environment.

therapy. In contrary, Skin Needling is ideal solution to remove wrinkles, fine
lines and acne.
