A prickly but non-invasive solution for acne scars, dark spots, fine lines, and more
The derma roller, in all its glory. Photo: Rio Viera-Newton Friends and readers of the Strategist frequently ask me questions about the derma roller — a device shaped like a quartz roller, with a head covered in hundreds of teeny-tiny — yet still somehow frightening-looking — needles. The needles, when rolled over your face, create little puncture holes meant to help your skin better absorb products, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and treat hyperpigmentation and wrinkles.
When buying a derma roller, the first thing you have to consider is the needle size. If you poke around on Amazon, you’ll notice that they come in a variety of sizes: anywhere from 0.2 to 1 millimeter in diameter. I consulted Sofie Pavitt, the owner of Sofie Pavitt Skincare Studio and a true believer in the power of derma rollers, to find out which is best for at-home users. “I recommend a 0.5 mm needle length for at-home treatments,” she said.
I truly feel like the derma roller and Cosrx snail-mucin combo has helped with the hyperpigmentation on my chin. It used to look like a constant shadow on my chin and now you’d barely notice it, even when I’m not wearing makeup. Other friends have reported a crazy change in the plumpness of their skin — that derma-rolling in the extra essence from a collagen sheet mask had taken their skin to next-level baby status.
Ora Face Microneedle Dermal Roller System This is my beloved derma roller. Its 0.5 mm micro-needle glides over the skin super painlessly. It also comes with a case to ensure that your tool stays as clean as possible.
