Well, the idea of someone driving over your face with a needle-covered scooter might give you goose bumps at first. However, micro-needling is actually more harmless than you might think. And the best thing is: micro-needling is not only available from dermatologists, but now also at home!

With a handy roller, you can treat your skin in the comfort of your own bathroom. 540 very fine, short needles made of surgical steel penetrate the top layer of skin by around 0.2 mm during rolling. These small intentional injuries stimulate the skin's renewal mechanisms - collagen and elastin not only ensure that the skin is repaired, but also that it becomes firmer and fine lines are reduced. Depending on the skin, the effect should not be long in coming: The complexion appears fresher and firmer. The skin also absorbs other skin care products, such as moisturizing serums, better thanks to the perforation after micro-needling.

Incidentally, more and more German celebrities are swearing by this beauty miracle. Micro-needling can also be used successfully to reduce scars, treat pigmentation disorders or heal acne. In general, the treatment is said to help restore skin density, refine pores and reduce wrinkles. Micro-needling for home use is available, for example, with the "Beautyroller" from Walberg. It is available for around 50 euros.
