As hard as it might seem to believe, this dermaroller that looks more like a torture instrument than a beauty device is credited with the ability to boost collagen, thus make skin plumper and better looking, and overall improve the condition of the skin. Its secret is the 90 steel micro-needles that ensure all beauty products penetrate the skin 400 percent better than without using the dermaroller, it is being said on the official website.

Using the Leaf & Rusher Tx Roller is slightly unpleasant at first, creator Dr. Norman Leaf agrees, but there is really no better way of getting brilliant and healthy skin than by forcing it to improve itself. Thus, by pricking it with the 90 micro-points of the roller, small entry points appear on the skin – they go straight into the dermis, allowing the products we use to better penetrate it and thus really work as promised.

There’s more to the dermaroller than just this though, Dr. Leaf explains, because each prick triggers a “cascade of reactions” within the skin that ultimately serves to improve its appearance and condition. While these reactions would not be noticeable if only one such prick would occur, the fact that they’re so many over a relatively small surface works wonders. As a matter of fact, the dermaroller is said to be enjoying such a good reputation that even Angelina Jolie herself, reportedly the most beautiful woman in Hollywood at the moment, is believed to use it regularly to postpone the need for plastic surgery.

“The Clinical Dermanroller is similar to our Dermaroller, but the micro-points are actually called needles and they are about 2 mm in length, so they do cause some pain and some bleeding. The treatment creates thousands of tiny punctures in the skin that go through the epidermis into the dermis. The needling itself is the treatment, not using the needles to deliver a product as we do with the take-home Dermaroller. Each puncture triggers a cascade of healing reactions. The result is the build-up of collagen over a period of four to eight weeks, which improves the skin’s appearance. One puncture alone does not product much collagen, but thousands in a small area create a great deal.” Dr. Leaf explains of the beauty product.

“The Tx Roller was carefully designed in a drum shape for the highest efficiency when applying the skin rolling technique. Equipped with over 90 stainless steel micro-points to stimulate the release of stress, tension and toxins. Micro-points create over 900 micro-channels, which allow the nutrients in skin care products to penetrate up to 400 times more effectively than products simply applied topically. Micro-channels in the skin close after several minutes, locking in skin-building nutrients, supporting collagen and elastin repair.” it is further said on the official website.

The dermaroller is safe to use and, while causing some pain at first, the awesome results it has compensate for it. Those who’ve tried this device say that it takes a little getting used to at first but, as they say, no pain no gain. Women with spotted skin or uneven tones might have the most benefits from this device, although it’s recommended you see a dermatologist and do your research properly before buying one, just to be on the safe side. The Leaf & Rusher Tx Roller costs $118 to buy.
