Microneedling is a medical method aimed at skin rejuvenation. The principle consists in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin by needling the skin with a dermaroller or with a dermapen. The boundary between these two micro-needling devices is thin. Go through this article to get an idea of their distinctions. Discover in a few lines the points that differentiate them.

What is a dermaroller?

The dermarollers proves to be the revolutionary product to deal with stretch marks and scars. This is a needle roller which is used on the skin. THE dermarollers produces a tenfold effect on the production of collagen and elastin, two essential elements for the healing and revitalization of the skin. When it hits the market, the dermarollers was a resounding success. A format for personal use was thus quickly developed in order to offer the microneedling home. Then, anti-aging devices like the Derma Roller 0,2mm, 0,5mm, 1mm quickly sold out to customers who personally wanted to take care of their skin. Besides its ability to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, the dermarollers also promotes the penetration of cosmetics and other products into the deep layer of the skin. The dermaroller is thus widely appreciated. Furthermore, the microneedling with a dermaroller is used in aesthetic medicine to treat cellulite. This consists of introducing into the skin elements capable of eliminating excess fat.

What about the Dermapen?

As the dermarollers, the dermapen is also a micro-needling device used in microneedling. However, there is a small difference between the two. The dermapen is actually the improved version of the dermaroller. If the dermaroller is a roller, the dermapen comes in the form of a pen. However, their operation is the same. This involves making micro-perforations in the skin in order to stimulate the production of elements useful for its rejuvenation. With a dermapen, you can forget the usual lesions left by the practice of microneedling since the perforations are microscopic. Being the most recent version of the two tools, the dermapen is easier to use, more precise and offers more tangible effects than the dermaroller. To get an overview of the tool, discover the characteristics of the Derma Pen Ultima A6 on the site of Centrale Fillers. Note that there are different models of dermapen at Centrale Fillers.

Which one to choose: dermaroller or dermapen?

Both microneedling devices perform exactly the same function. The difference is mainly felt in the grip. So, to make the right choice, you have to look at the practical side. With the dermarollers, it is necessary for example to take into account its mode of use. To get the best effects, it is actually recommended tocombine different movements : top to bottom, left to right and diagonally. The dermaroller also offers the advantage of covering a larger area thanks to its system using a roller. The dermapen meanwhile allows you to be more precise as if you were drawing with a pen or pencil. In general, however, a session with a dermarpen on the same surface lasts longer than with a dermarollers. Anyway, the two devices have a single objective, to rejuvenate the skin in depth without going through the plastic surgery box. Even if the dermapen is reputed to be more advanced in terms of innovation, the skin roller is quite capable of offering a very appreciable result.
