The concept of microneedling can be intimidating at first glance, but it is a painless process that has been scientifically proven to offer dramatic results. Stimurolling is a skincare regimen that involves rolling a set of small, fine needles over the skin of the face. This is a type of microneedling that can be done easily and safely at home, instead of requiring an appointment in an office. The StimuRoller stimulates healthier skin and diminishes the appearance of aging and of acne scars.

The StimuRoller is a microneedling device recommended by top dermatologists. It has 540 titanium needles, which are more durable than other rollers’ stainless steel needles. The StimuRoller increases absorption of products and treatments by as much as 20 times, for smoother, firmer skin and a decrease in pore size and in the appearance of aging, fine lines and wrinkes. The StimuRoller is offered in three different size options to best address your primary concerns and needs.

Microneedling can take several sessions to yield noticeable results, but will offer long-lasting positive changes to skin texture and tone. Read on to learn the top five ways the StimuRoller promotes healthy and beautiful skin.

Using StimuRoller consistently can reduce the appearance of:

• acne scars
• enlarged pores
• postinflammatory hyperpigmentation
• skin discoloration
• sun damaged or sagging skin
• stretch marks
• Scars
• uneven skin tones or textures
• wrinkles

The StimuRoller’s fine needles create superficial punctures in the skin that activate the body’s healing response. This process increases production of several different anti-aging and reparative substances that are instrumental in stimulating the skin's healing process. In drawing these essential proteins and substances to the micro channels created by microneedling, the substances are also positively impacting the surrounding skin surface and any underlying scar tissue.

The StimuRoller triggers the molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is responsible for carrying energy throughout the cells. As each cell is energized, blood circulation and cell regeneration happen more quickly. Both increased blood flow and the production of new skin cells help not only with fading acne scars and discoloration, but also with the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.

The healing process triggered by the StimuRoller results in decreased scar tissue, and by extent, the appearance of acne scars. The related substances involved in healing, such as collagen, are also key to protecting the skin from oxidative and environmental stress that could cause further harm.

Microneedling helps to create a micro channel into the skin that allows treatments to penetrate more deeply for better results. Skin healing, particularly in regards to scar tissue, happens below the surface, meaning topicals concentrated on the surface can be diluted or ineffective where the scar tissue is located. The StimuRoller offers more comprehensive results by taking your treatments and serums closer to the locales in need of healing.

Serums can work alongside collagen and elastin to boost hydration and the rejuvenation of skin. One serum recommended for use with microneedling is niacinamide, a form of vitamin B-3. Niacinamide helps with skin conditions like eczema or acne by locking in moisture, guarding against oxidative stress and environmental damage, and reducing inflammation. It also builds the protein keratin and a lipid barrier, which keep skin firm and moisturized. This in turn can minimize pores, lighten dark spots, and rebuild healthy skin cells.

Another serum to consider is hyaluronic acid, which improves skin texture and tone by preserving hydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid binds to water to promote healing and greater elasticity in the skin. This serum is often accompanied by a reduction in wrinkles, dry skin, irritation, and skin blemishes and scars.

Another commonly used serum is Vitamin C, which is known for its ability to decrease inflammation to combat hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots, age spots, and melasma. It can also soothe and brighten damaged skin. However, this serum should be considered carefully on a case-by-case basis, as it can irritate sensitive skin, especially when absorbed more deeply while stimurolling.

The body’s healing process involves another major player and well-known name in the world of skin health. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, and it provides the structure and stability to skin, muscle, tendon, cartilage, and bone tissue.

Collagen is also responsible for maintaining youthful-looking, hydrated, and healthy skin. However, after the age of 20, collagen production slows by about 1% per year. This is a major factor in the development of wrinkles and in the appearance of sagging skin. The level of collagen present determines the texture, elasticity, and healing capabilities of the skin. Increasing production of this protein can therefore reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars, as well as even out skin tone and texture.

When the StimuRoller creates holes in the skin surface, collagen production is activated at an increased level to address the injury. During the regeneration of cells in the healing process, collagen helps promote firmer, more supple skin that will bounce back more fully in the face of age and environmental damage.

Elastin is another protein found with collagen that helps provide structure to the skin. Also like collagen, elastin decreases with age. Elastin is primarily responsible for the elasticity of the skin, or its ability to resume its original shape after a change. As the body experiences a decrease in elastin with age, sagging skin and wrinkles become more prominent as the skin loses its ability to bounce back as effectively.

Stimurolling increases production of elastin alongside collagen to combat skin damage and visible signs of aging. Greater skin elasticity will result in a decline in the appearance of aging skin, blemishes, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation caused by sun and other environmental stressors.

The StimuRoller targets both specific scar tissue and the overall pigmentation of the face for a firmer, smoother, and more even skin tone and texture. By creating a noninvasive, controlled skin injury, microneedling sends blood and collagen to the site. Although the injury is temporary, the effects provide long-term results that change the very makeup and appearance of your skin.

The StimuRoller regenerates new skin cells and forms new blood vessels to repair damage to the top layer of skin cells. This new growth also attracts the anti-aging elements of collagen and elastin, as well as works to break down underlying scar tissue. The rejuvenated skin is firmer and more elastic.

For oily skin, stimurolling can help reduce the production of sebum, a substance which moisturizes and protects the skin, but can amplify issues with acne when produced in excess. The StimuRoller also helps address problem areas through increased absorption of serums, leading to brighter skin with decreased skin discoloration overall.
