If you have come across the term of derma rolling or micro needling, you might wonder how poking needles into your skin could possibly be a good idea! But, do not let those harmless needles intimidate you. We are going to introduce you to your new best friend. 
So, what really makes these needles so effective?  The roller essentially works by causing a “wound like response”, that signals the skin to stimulate higher cell turnover and elastin production. In this article we take you through the entire derma rolling process. Read and roll on!
What Is Micro Needling And What Are Its Benefits?
The rate at which our skin heals reduces after the age of 25. Micro needling is a technique that uses a tiny roller with microscopic needles at its head on the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production. What makes this treatment special is that it targets scars, wrinkles and irregular texture without using any chemical formulation purely depending on the response of your body.
Clinics and professionals apply general anaesthetic compounds in order to operate larger sized needles to reach even deeper into the skin compared to the results achieved at home. However, incorporating a derma roller safely in your “at home routine” can target various issues. Some of its main benefits include -
1. Maximum Efficiency Of Products
Without using a derma roller, your skin only absorbs 4 to 10% of the product. Adding a derma roller into your routine will help in deeper penetration of the product. Your skin will receive 70% more giving better results and lesser wastage.
2. Reduce Pore Visibility
Derma rolling will not change the size of the pores that are genetically present but it helps to tighten their visibility by reducing its appearance.
3. Combat Signs Of Ageing
To attain brighter and youthful looking skin, it is important to shed off the dead layer sitting on the surface. Once the skin is punctured with your derma roller, blood and collagen is rushed to the targeted area to repair and regenerate new skin cells in the process.
4. Reduce Discoloration And Scars
Clinical studies have shown overall positive results while using derma roller to treat acne scars. It removes the top layer of skin solving issues related to visible scars, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture.

5.  Reduce Dark Circles
Dark circles are caused when the blood vessels beneath are visible through the thin layer of skin. Rolling under the eyes can overdrive collagen production and thicken the skin around the eye making it beneficial to solve dark circles.
