Roller handle:
Roller handle are usually made of high quality resin materials. Resin materials has characteristics of high heat resistance, high Corrosion Resistance and toughness. Some company use steel metal. Metal handle is usually heavier and cost more.
Another thing to check is if the handle offer anti-slippy design. This feature reduces the risk of needling accident and makes derma rolling safe and easy.
Additional Functions
Some Derma Rollers combines other technologies to enhance the treatment. Those technologies are usually Galvanic, vibration, and LED photon therapy.
Galvanic function
When skin is transmitted with ongoing positive (+) ions, negatively (-) charged cleansing gel would dissolve oil, dirt and impurities and would facilitate their transdermal export from skin. When skin is transmitted with ongoing negative (-) ions, application of ionized cosmetics product would facilitate transdermal of nutrients and active ingredients.
Vibration massages
Mechanical vibrations acting on the skin will change to physical vibration, vibration massage can promote blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, promote skin metabolism and activation of cell movement.
Photon Therapy

Dermaroller protective covers:
The cover is convenient for storage and sterilization. Not all micro needle rollers come with protective covers. A good cover protect the roller from accident damage and contamination, it is also a helpful tool for sterilization
Is 360 rotation roller head really effective?
There are some rollers advertised with rotation roller head.
We happen to test few of them. We found this design is not helpful for needling. When rolling, we want the roller head to be stable and steady. The movement of rotation head is unstable and difficult to control.
How to Clean the derma roller?
Dermarollers can be cleaned thoroughly after each use to prevent infection with isopropyl alcohol(min 70%). Please follow the cleaning step here: Dermaroller cleaning
Resterilization of the dermaroller in an autoclave or using ultrasound is not advised because needles would lose their sharpness.
Dermaroller VS Dermastamp

- Smaller size suitable for small skin area
- Much less needle number ranges from 12 to 80 needles
- Less efficiency for large areas: large area treatment takes longer time.

How to use the derma roller?
PREOPERATIVE CARE
Patients skin should be prepared preoperatively for at least 1 month with vitamin A and vitamin C cream twice a day to maximize dermal collagen formation.
Vitamin A, is a retinoic acid is an essential vitamin for skin. It expresses its influence on 400-1000 genes that control proliferation and differentiation of all major cells in epidermis and dermis. Vitamin A may control the release of TGFβ3 in preference to TGFβ1 and TGF β2 . Vitamin C is essential for production of normal collagen.
Percutaneous collagen induction and vitamin A switch on the fibroblast to produce collagen and therefore increases the need for vitamin C.
