As seen on Channel 4's 10 Years Younger with Myleene Class, on August 2nd, they showed how 'Dot' rolls back the years with the help of a dermaroller treatment!
Also known as skin micro-surgical needling, dermarollering is a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally. It encourages the production of collagen and elastin a natural reaction to skin trauma. Anaesthetic cream is applied to numb the skin, then a small barrel containing precision needles is manually rolled across the treatment area (usually the face). Your skin will be left feeling a bit sore and red. After micro-needling, the therapist will apply vitamins and nutrients to the skin while it is super absorbent.
When applied to the face, dermarollering is great for improving skin texture, acne scar pitting, certain types of pigmentation, sun damage and fine lines, and it also helps to tighten skin. On the body it works well for improving stretch marks, cellulite and rough skin texture.
You won't get an overnight 'wow' factor - more a gradual improvement over a few months as the collagen and elastin increases.
Dermaroller Therapy Risks
This is a safe treatment as it stimulates the bodys own anti-ageing process. However you may feel like you have mild sunburn for a few days after your treatment.

Botox is the No 1 cosmetic procedure in the world - even US women's rights campaigners now advocate it! The British appetite for non-surgical medical cosmetic procedures has risen by 200 per cent in the past 5 years, with Botox taking the No 1 spot in the market.
Dr Alistair Carruthers, a dermatologist in London said that the first person they treated was their receptionist, who 'looked ferrocious, with two frown lines that were very deep. Within a couple of days, she was looking so relaxed and fresh - it was a miracle.'
He said that Botox only leads to happiness, and that new research is showing that it even helps alleviate depression!
Dr Carruthers has been injecting Botox for nearly 30 years, and has neither seen nor heard of any worrying complication.

As we get older, our skin becomes thinner, causing the purple veins in our hands to bulge out. Madonna and SJP have been found guilty of possessing 'old lady hands'.
We can now offer you a high-tech procedure that may revolutionise the war on wrinkles - MyCells® is a revolutionary method, based on using ingredients of your own blood, which can regenerate your skin. These ingredients reside within the fraction of your blood named Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP is enriched with platelets, stem cells and growth factors. Once injected into your skin, these substances will accelerate the normal healing process via new collagen formation at the injected area. This process brings to long lasting tissue rejuvenation by your own cells. PRP has been widely used for many years in plastic surgery, othopedics, dentistry, soft tissue implants, and other types of implants.
MyCells® uses your own cells to rejuvenate skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Ideal for: Eye area, mouth area, neck, décolleté, hands, acne scarring and total facial rejuvenation.
MyCells® can be used to enhance skin texture, glow and hydration with a technique of lots of superficial injections (after numbing). MyCells® can also be used as a filler, injected dermally or sub-dermally to volumise and reshape the skin.
As seen in the feature entitled 'In the Blood' in 'Cosmetic News' (July 2010) - a full 2 page interview with Dr Roberto Viel about his experience with Platelet Rich Plasma rejuvenation (MyCells).
The procedure that is proving to be incredibly popular with patients at the Harley Street clinic of Dr Roberto Viel. Half of the infamous Viel brothers, Roberto was one of the first practitioners in the UK to perform the technique using the GPS III System from Biomet Biologics. Having now performed the procedure on around 50 patients, Roberto says he thinks this procedure complements rather than replaces dermal fillers and other injectable treatments.
He says "I am using the technique now quite often because I see good results. What I see in the patient after two or three weeks of treatment is a better skin glow - they will look younger with a better tone and firmer looking skin. There is also a good reduction of fine lines and especially the fine lines around the eyes, which is a difficult area to treat. Basically the skin looks younger because you are giving it what it needs to rejuvenate itself".... "With dermal fillers you are giving volume, with this you are not giving volume you are helping the skin to improve by itself. When you give volume you fill up the lines and wrinkles but you don't do anything to actually improve the skin complexion, improve the glow, improve the younger look of the skin. Other treatments that claim to trigger more collagen and elastin production are yet to prove that. With this there is good research to show that platelets really trigger that..."
