🚫 Stop Before You Roll: The Truth About DIY Microneedling 🚫
We all love a skincare shortcut, but some things are better left to the pros. While those at-home rollers look harmless, your skin might beg to differ. Here’s why your "glow-up" could turn into a "grow-up" (as in, growing bacteria):
Micro-Tears vs. Micro-Channels: Professional devices use vertical needles. Budget rollers often enter the skin at an angle, creating jagged tears instead of clean punctures.
The Infection Risk: You can’t truly "sterilize" a device at home. Trapping bacteria under your skin is a fast track to breakouts, or worse, staph infections. We use a one time use sterile cartridge to avoid these complications.
Scarring & Granulomas: Using the wrong pressure or needle depth can lead to permanent scarring or "railroad track" marks that are expensive to fix. We are trained in the correct depth and motion to avoid this.
Product Sensitivity: Microneedling significantly increases product absorption. While this maximizes the benefits of active ingredients like Vitamin C, it also allows common irritants—like synthetic fragrances and preservatives—to reach deeper layers of the skin. To ensure safety and results, we exclusively use high-potency, sterile solutions designed specifically for clinical infusion.
