Dermal Rolling and the release of the Epidermal Growth Factor

The benefits of using a dermal roller at home are endless.   One of the most significant effects of regular rolling involves what is called the epidermal growth factor.  This growth factor (EGF)acts like a magician to the skin.

Rolling with a 0.25mm and 0.5mm roller: 

First and foremost rolling with a dermal roller is going to increase the penetration of your products by up to 100%.   This increased penetration of your product ingredients and availability of cell nutrients to both layers of the skin is where the magic starts to happen.   You see the outer layer of skin called the epidermis acts as a barrier to protect you preventing harmful substances from getting in to your skin.  The problem with this is that it also prevents essential cell nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and other topical nutrients from penetrating the skin.  Your cells rely on the nutrients in your products to function optimally and create great looking, healthy, well functioning skin.   For example your fibroblast cells, the cells that produce collagen and elastin rely on nutrients and specific vitamins to make collagen and elastin.  These fibroblasts cells are in the second layer of skin called the dermis so for your products to work they must reach the dermis.

The use of a dermal roller creates micro-channels delivering your product ingredients to the epidermis (top layer)and down to the dermis (second layer) thereby stimulating collagen and elastin reducing the appearance and slowing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.  These cell nutrients are also imperative to control acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and other skin concerns.

Secondly the rolling causes “positive” micro-injury to the keratinocyte cell which promotes the epidermal growth factor and increased cell turnover.   The release of the epidermal growth factor has many benefits to the skin.

What are growth factors?

Growth Factors are naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cell growth and cell proliferation. They are the key factors in skin rejuvenation playing a role in stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin and promoting growth of keratinocytes, fibroblasts and other cells.  Medical studies indicate that Growth Factors are a powerful force in enhancing dynamic and rapid cell activity.

 Key benefits of epidermal growth factor:

• Send signals to help aged and damaged cells to transform back to younger, more   vibrant young skin cells .
• Increase the production of  collagen and elastin.
• Increase Epidermal thickness and strengthen skin elasticity and its structures
• Repair and reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.
