How should I care for my skin after the treatment?
It is important to properly care for your skin following a treatment to optimize results. The personal use Titanium Microneedle Roller can be used on a daily basis throughout the course of treatment to dramatically enhance product absorption and efficacy.
Titanium Microneedle Roller is a fantastic device which is able naturally activate collagen and elastin production in the skin without causing any damage. Skin needling can be done at home, at your convenience, however home use Derma Rollers have the shortest needle lengths and therefore cannot produce the same benefits as practitioner uses.
For personal Use
The Medik8 Titanium Dermarollers with 0.2mm and 0.3mm microneedle lengths have been designed for personal, cosmetic use at home, as part of the Medik8 skin care regimen. Their main purpose is to enhance the penetration of active ingredients from the Medik8 serums and creams into the deeper layers of the skin, which leads to an incredible increase in their efficacy. The minuscule skin “tunnels” created by the roller support the absorption of the active ingredients from Medik8 formulae dramatically, which helps to improve and maintain the healthy appearance of the skin:
The Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are also recommended for use in between clinical Skin Needling treatments, usually set 2-3 months apart, and after the closure of the clinical/medical treatment programmes, to sustain skin regeneration results.
Downtime
Due to minimal level of needle insertion, the Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are safe to use at home and are regarded as practically pain-free by the majority of users.
The Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are associated with very little downtime when used vigorously and with none if used as per instructions.
