This treatment has many other advantages like - short healing period, used on thin skin or laser resurfaced skin, does not damage skin etc.

The roller is 100% contaminant free when packed and delivered as it is sterilized with gamma radiation and sealed in an airtight pouch. The material used in the body make (polycarbonate resin) does not deteriorate upon prolonged use or storage, but it is recommended to replace every 3 months of regular use. The clinical rollers must be replaced after 10 applications. The rollers that have been dropped or bumped should not be used and replaced immediately. Rollers should not be transferred between patients and kept in protective case when not in use.

However, the users experience pain and redness of skin which is natural. Applying too much of pressure can hurt more, thus using a prescribed numbing cream is advised. The redness will reduce after few hours. Also, some users mentioned the wheel makes a squeaky noise while rolling and the body make is of poor quality.

Overall, the Micro Needle Roller Skin Care Therapy Dermatology System has become popular lately due to its ease of use and less expensive skin care treatment, which has more practical benefits than any other expensive treatment. Micro-needling is performed twice weekly in general or in accordance with the package directions.  

*Advised not to use the roller along with alcohol based or inflammatory products
