Getting rid of acne scars has always been a challenge as they can be very detrimental to a person's self esteem. While there have been hundreds of suggestions for removing acne scars -- not all methods have been successful for everyone. It could be due to the fact that everyone is different and different treatments work on some, but not on others. Unfortunately, you really have to try and find what works best for you.

There has been some very successful feedback in connection with using the derma roller in getting rid of acne scars. Research shows that the derma roller is effective for the most common types of acne scars. In fact, studies suggests that just one derma roller session can help to increases collagen by 1000%!!

What is The Derma Roller?

The derma roller is an incredible skin roller or skin needling device that helps to stimulate collagen and elastin without causing damage to the skin. Unlike other methods for skin rejuvenation methods which causes extensive damage to the skin in order to stimulate collagen production the derma roller is safe and doesn't require any downtime.

How Does Derma Roller work on Acne Scars?

Acne scars - like fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks all have one thing in common.......not enough collage. By using a derma roller you help to encourage your own collagen production which helps to break up the scar tissue and fill it in with newly formed collagen.

When the derma roller is rolled over the skin, it creates small punctures into the skin. This very slight damage causes the body to react by trying to heal the skin. It does this by initiating collagen production and elastin. Although this method of collage production is slower than dermabrasion, chemical or laser peels, it's much safer, has fewer risks, and requires no downtime.

Regular derma roller sessions help to encourage an on-going healing process and eventually a reduction of the acne scar. The healing process can take months, but for some people noticeable results are seen within 7-10 days after the first treatment.
