Instructions for a Derma Micro-Needle
- 1). Establish a sterile environment. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, rubbing vigorously for about fifteen seconds. The area to be treated must then be washed thoroughly as well. Soak a new derma micro-needle roller in 70 percent alcohol disinfectant for two minutes before use. Fill a large glass with disinfectant and place the roller in the glass.
- 2). Numb the area with a topical anesthetic gel a before the procedure, if you prefer. This is not necessary. Applying this gel will allow you to use more pressure with the micro-needle. Follow the instructions on the bottle and apply the gel to the affected area.
- 3). Roll the device back and forth. This should be done four times in four strokes. Vertical, horizontal and diagonal on each side. Apply with slight pressure, if you decided to use an anesthetic gel, increase the pressure. The treatment should not cause pain but a tingling sensation may be felt. If blood is drawn, stop the procedure immediately.
- 4). Wash the treated area with cold water, and dry thoroughly. Apply moisturizer rich in Vitamin C and E. These vitamins help in collagen production.
- 5). Rinse the micro-needle with hot running water after used. If numbing cream was used with it, fill a large glass half full of disinfectant solution and leave it there for 30 minutes to one hour. Shake off excess liquid after use and leave it on a clean towel to dry.
- 6). Repeat the procedure no more than once per day.
