Dear Customer,

 We kindly request you to read the following instruction for use carefully. It contains important information about the use of the Dermaroller that should be strictly adhered to.


PURPOSE OF THE DERMAROLLER

The Dermaroller is made for epidermal skin improvement and the transdermal delivery. It can be used repeatedly for about one hundred times and will last about 1 year with 2 applications per week. Do not use the Dermaroller or Beauty Mouse on children or animals! 

The Home Care Dermaroller and Beauty Mouse are NOT suitable to treat scars. (They only can be treated effectively by a physician with a medical Dermaroller with longer and special needles!!!)  



rolldirectionsINSTRUCTIONS FOR USE


Before you start using the Dermaroller the first time, you should know the following: Never apply high pressure! Even with higher pressure the micro-points cannot penetrate any deeper into the epidermis. Each skin is different in sensitivity. Slight tingling or itching may be felt until your skin becomes accustomed to the treatment. This is normal. Use two to three nights per week - as tolerated. Using gentle pressure, roll the Dermaroller 4 times over each area in each direction, vertically, horizontally and in both diagonals. Please keep in mind that the epidermis around the eyes and the upper lip is much thinner. Therefore roll carefully over these areas. You may experience a slightly rougher skin surface after the initial procedures. This is normal and will disappear once the old sticky scales of the stratum corneum were removed by the microneedles.

 

The Dermaroller may be used on all skin part of the body. Avoid eyes area! If persistent redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a skin care professional (see footnote).

 

After each use of the Dermaroller your skin will require a higher dose of a good moisturizer.


DIRECTIONS FOR CARE & STORAGE

The best way for cleansing the Dermaroller is our ROLLER-CLEANER. After use rinse the instrument in hot tab water, shake dry and spray 2 to 3 puffs ROLLER CLEANER on the roller head. Store back in the container. NOTE: Always treat the Dermaroller gently and avoid any contact with hard objects or surfaces. IMPORTANT: Many industrial cleaning agents are aggressive to steel and may be subject to corrosion – do NOT use them - only use the approved ROLLER CLEANER.


IMPORTANT

A re-sterilization of the Dermaroller (any model) in an autoclave (steam or dry) or using ultra-sound is PROHIBITED. The needles would lose their sharpness and may detach from the roller, potentially causing an injury!

 

DO NOT USE: The Dermaroller should not be used on irritated skin, infected skin, fungal skin infections, severe active acne, etc. If you are not sure about your skin condition consult a dermatologist. SIDE EFFECTS: Are unknown. All materials are safe for the skin when used as directed. If you experience any persistant skin sensitivity STOP using the Dermaroller and consult a skin care specialist.


Dermaroller and Beauty Mouse are for single-person use!

Store them carefully and keep them out of the reach of children!


IMPORTANT NOTE

Your enthusiasm that you finally have found the right device to improve your skin is quite understandable. However, many people have a propensity to exaggerate. Therefore you should know the following:

Female skin, especially on breast, abdomen and thighs, is very sensitive, much more than the facial skin. These skin parts visibly react (often overreact) very quickly to mechanical impact such as nail scratches, microneedles, etc. The skin reacts with a form of inflammation and the release of high doses of histamines that are visible on form of red streaks, spots and fine blisters. These skin irritations can last for several hours (rarely days) and they can be very painful as well.

Therefore it is absolutely mandatory when you start using the Dermaroller or the Beauty Mouse on these skin parts that you start really slow and carefully.
During the first week, use the Dermaroller or Beauty Mouse only every third day and than roll only once forth and back. After your skin has become accustomed to needling you carefully can increase the numbers of rolling movements. You also will notice that the inflammation reaction does not appear again.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES YOU SHOULD APPLY HIGH PRESSURE on the devices. Needles cannot penetrate any deeper as they are designed in length! However, if you have overdone your first Beauty Mouse use, and you have experienced a skin overreaction, you should seek the advice of a dermatologist of a pharmacist. Usually an anti-histamine crème brings fast relief. If your skin continues the (over-) react to microneedling after 2 weeks of careful use you should stop using these devices.
