DERMA ROLLER INSTRUCTION (MEMBERS ONLY)
Hi, this is Frank, founder of JJ ELLIE. First of all, thank you for choosing JJ ELLIE.
Here is the quick instruction on how to use a derma roller for your needs. I really want you to read first before using your roller.
For Skincare
The primary purpose of using a derma roller for skincare is to increase your topical products' absorption rate. As you might know, the industrial standard for the topical products' absorption rate is usually 0.2% to 0.4%. But those absorption rate is considered very minimal to see the effectiveness. To increase your skincare products' effectiveness, it must be either higher % of active ingredients or increased the absorption rate (but it can’t be since it is not topical products are not medical products).
However, you can increase of absorption rate by using your derma roller. Here is the instruction on how to use it.
For Hair & Beard Growth
The main purpose of using a derma roller for regrowing hair would be collagen reproduction. A lot of people might think it still be beneficial for using topical products with Derma roller. This is true, but it all depends on what topical products you are using.
Depends on your topical products, derma rolling scheduling will be different.
If you are using natural hair/beard growth product, please follow the instruction below.
