What is Derma Rolling/ Microneedling? Until recently, derma rolling was practically unheard of in Western culture. Deriving from the ancient practice of acupuncture, it’s become widely used due to being an easy, non-invasive way of stimulating the skin's natural collagen and elastin production. Despite its name, it actually provides a gentler alternative to the current, more painful 3 methods of improving the skin's appearance; such as chemical peels, injections and other more invasive methods. The process (called collagenesis) by which derma rolling stimulates collagen and elastin production is complex and requires some knowledge of dermal biology. To put it in simple terms, the tiny needles create "micro trauma" which summons the skin's cells to the site and then incites them to work to heal and rebuild the skin, thereby laying down an entirely new matrix of collagen and elastin. At the same time, it works to break down the old collagen, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Although chemical peels, lasers and microdermabrasion operate on a similar principle, they actually may remove the epidermis, which is a lot harsher and more painful. Although the increased collagen production associated with derma rolling is reason enough to get on board, its ability to increase transdermal absorption of combined topical products is equally impressive. The process disturbs the epidermis just enough to allow for better and deeper absorption of topical application into the skin without excessive fluid loss. This is particularly useful with anti-aging products, for increased efficacy and speed of improvement. In fact, some substances and medicines that previously could not cross the skin's barrier are now, with the help of derma rolling, able to be delivered directly into the deeper layers of the skin to directly affect the cells and fibroblasts, leading to a revolution in the cosmetics industry. 4 THE BELHALLA KIT IS DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR SKIN: INDICATIONS: ● Signs of visible ageing ● Fine lines and wrinkles ● Sun damage ● Uneven texture / enlarged pores ● Dry / rough skin ● Pigment, age spots, mottling. ● Rosacea / redness ● Under eye pouches ● Acne / acne scars / scars ● Loose or lax skin ● Cellulite & stretch marks ● Reduction of the formation of free radicals in sun exposed skin Did you know that your body's largest organ is your skin? It’s also the most difficult organ to care for because it is located on the outside of your body. Although your skin is continually renewing itself it’s also constantly exposed. While cleaning and moisturizing are beneficial, if you’re not protecting and feeding your skin the nutrients it needs, like any organ, it will not perform to the best of it’s ability and your skins appearance will suffer. 5 Derma rolling uses small needles spaced closely together in order to lightly and evenly penetrate the skin, initiating a renewal process within the body which promotes healing, repair and positive change. It is important to note that the micro needles used in derma rolling are not actually injecting anything into the skin; they are simply giving any products applied afterward a direct path to the skin's deeper layers, where they can be effectively delivered for optimal results. However, for many, the main objective will be to repair the skin and increase collagen production and this can be stimulated by the controlled injury caused by the action of the tiny needles by themselves. Derma rolling is proving to be a much safer and comfortable alternative to ablative cosmetic treatments that remove or damage the outer layers of skin. The tiny needle punctures from derma rolling disappear within a few hours, leaving the epidermis intact. It’s also more affordable and convenient, with no down time. 6 What is collagen and why does it make us look younger? Collagen is the protein responsible for giving your skin its distinct structure, shape and firmness. As you age, your body starts to produce less collagen, while the collagen and elastin fibres you do have tend to weaken and causes a loss in the skins structural integrity. This unfavourable combination is only made worse by exposure to the sun, unhealthy lifestyle, stress and other environmental damage. The result? Amongst others; fine lines, skin thinning and sagging as well as dark circles under your eyes. Applying collagen directly to your skin is not the answer and doesn’t seem to have much effect, there are however, several ways you can stimulate your body to produce more collagen by itself, where it’s needed. Using a derma roller and serum kit is one of the easiest, most efficient and effective ways to achieve this. Derma rolling can also be referred to as: microneedling, dermal needling, skin rolling, skin needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT), or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI). In skin rolling, not only is new collagen produced, but also old collagen is broken down. Eventually a new matrix of collagen and elastin is formed, which results in thicker skin and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and scars. In fact, it is the breaking down of the collagen that actually has the smoothing effect on uneven skin. 7 How does derma rolling work? Derma rolling creates miniscule holes that reach deep into the skin, in effect a very controlled injury is being delivered, which initiates your own body’s biological processes of renewal and repair. The tiny holes that are created in the process heal within hours, but the positive effects of the procedure are noticeable over time and results are longlasting. It is the skin's natural healing response to these holes that brings about the desired changes. Reverse, renew & repair your skin Skin rolling has few side effects, is easy to do, and there is substantial scientific evidence to support its efficacy. It’s roots are in Chinese traditional medicine, although modern derma rollers are not the same, their use has benefited from the experience of years of cosmetic acupuncture. 8 About BelHalla Derma Roller 540 Our product arrives sterilized and vacuum packed for your safety. BelHalla – The Best Needles Many people think that when it comes to beauty, more is better. This is not the case with derma rolling. In fact, shorter needles achieve the desired result. We designed our roller with 1mm needles, the ideal length to deliver maximum effect, without affecting the deeper layers of skin unnecessarily. 0.5mm needles can also be used with good effect. Although humans have varying skin thicknesses, this variation is not significant enough to require different needle sizes for different people. The epidermis is so thin that these differences become insignificant. In some places, skin can be as thin as 0.5mm, or as thick as 4mm. The skin's average thickness is 1.5mm. A 1mm needle roller is ample size to provide the right amount of stimulation to yield noticeable improvements. Positively affecting many signs of visible ageing, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, dry or rough skin, pigment, age spots, mottling, rosacea or redness, under eye pouches, acne, acne scars, scars, loose or lax skin and cellulite or stretch marks. This 1mm length represents an optimal balance between efficacy and safety. Severe scarring may be more effectively treated with a 1.5mm roller, but this is something that should only be performed with a topical anaesthetic, in clinic by a medical professional. 9 BelHalla - More comfortable Although it may sound counter-intuitive, sharper needles are actually less painful to use, because they slide accurately and more smoothly into the skin without scratching or tearing - the same philosophy applies to acupuncture needles. BelHalla products use high quality titanium, alloy micro surgical needles, and we expect one roller will be sufficient to complete each 12 week treatment course. (It’s recommended that you begin each new treatment course with a new roller). 10 BelHalla - The handle The handle and drum of the roller are made of robust plastic. The handle has been carefully designed with a flattened underside, with perfect contours for maximum comfort during use. A flatter handle, aligned parallel to the skin, allows the roller to achieve maximum contact. Effective Collagenesis The dermis of the skin contains clever cells called fibroblasts, which synthesize collagen production. These cells can only be reached by needles that are 0.5mm or longer, which is why 1mm micro-needling is ideal. Lines and Wrinkles The most common use for derma rolling is for the improvement of lines and wrinkles on the face. Many clinical studies have shown a significant improvement on all skin types. Scars and stretch marks Derma rolling helps reduce the appearance of scars by breaking up old collagen bundles and forming a new matrix of collagen that follows the "basket weave" pattern seen in healthy skin, rather than the unidirectional pattern found in scars. This action can also help improve the appearance of stretch marks, which can arise when the skin lacks a good support structure. Although it takes longer to see improvement, the results can be remarkable. Cellulite The way in which derma rolling improves the appearance of cellulite is still being researched, but it’s been speculated that this is achieved by creating a stronger matrix of collagen and elastin that helps keep the swollen fat cells (which lead to cellulite) under control. Pigment People with uneven pigmentation have also seen improvements after derma rolling, but the extent to which success is achieved depends on a number of individual factors. It is believed that derma rolling can help to regulate melanogenesis and melanocyte differentiation. This process can also help improve age spots. 11 Rosacea Derma rolling is shown to improve the appearance of rosacea, and depending on the severity, can achieve good results. The process strengthens connective tissue and reduces blood vessel expansion and so the skin appears much less red. Unfortunately, rosacea has a tendency to flare up with repeated exposure to triggers such as sunlight and certain foods, so these effects may only be temporary. Acne When it comes to acne, caution is urged, as rolling over active acne can actually spread bacteria and make the condition worse. However, derma rolling can be effectively used to improve the appearance of acne scars as well as allowing delivery of medication and theraputic preparations to acne prone skin on the face and body. Thinning Hair Derma rolling can also help with hair loss and thinning hair, especially male/ female pattern baldness and post-partum hair loss. It increases the body's endothelial growth factor, which increases hair follicle size and promotes hair growth. The practice of micro-needling also helps hair loss products penetrate better to perform more effectively. This is best suited to those in the early stages of hair loss. Microneedleing - Clinical Trials With so many skincare products making dramatic claims, it’s easy to become disillusioned. Skin rolling is a technique studied extensively by scientists, even more so since its increasing popularity. Studies below demonstrate its effectiveness: ● A 1995 study by Orentreich and Orentreich demonstrated how the introduction of a needle promotes wound healing. ● A 1998 study showed that 0.15mm micro-needles placed in the skin for ten seconds resulted in calcein being absorbed by the skin up to 10,000 times better. ● A 2006 study involving biopsies from ten patients showed an average increase of 206% in new fibres after receiving just one treatment with a micro-needle roller. One person in the study experienced a 1000% increase in new fibres. Skin tissue damage was not noted. 12 ● In a 2008 study of 480 patients who experienced wrinkles, scarring, loose skin and stretch marks, patients noted an average improvement of between 60-80% in their skin following derma roller treatment. Collagen and elastin improvements were still apparent six months after the treatment. ● A 2009 study found 34 of 37 patients improved the appearance of scars by one or two grades following the use of derma rolling. This is an area of great potential that scientists are currently studying in depth to improve future treatments. A few tips to note before you try BelHalla skin rolling Because absorption is extremely high with derma rolling, it is crucial to begin with very clean skin. Thoroughly remove all makeup, creams, and other products applied earlier in the day as these could linger on the skin's surface for many hours afterwards. Allowing these ingredients to penetrate the skin could lead to undesired results. After Derma Rolling, consideration of product application and cleanliness is very important. The skin will more readily absorb ingredients applied for several hours afterwards, so avoid applying anything to the skin with potentially toxic ingredients. For this reason, many people find that using the derma roller at night before bed is the ideal time. It’s good for the skin, in general, to stick to the most natural product ingredients possible. Derma rolling can help with acne, but it is important to avoid during times of active breakouts as this could spread bacteria. Over treating does not help Although the quality of BelHalla needles provides for a superior product, the technique with which it is used is also a vital part of achieving optimal results. Although the entire premise of derma rolling is based on creating a tiny amount of trauma to the skin, creating greater trauma does not mean you will get better results. In fact, it is important to keep the damage to an absolute minimum, creating only enough miniscule damage to spur the skin to start the healing process. Doing otherwise will only lead to pain and a longer recovery time. Please follow the instructions that follow carefully. Derma rolling should not be a painful procedure when done correctly. Mild discomfort, but not painful. 13 14 12 Week Treatment Guide and Instructions ● Vitamin C+ serum used daily, as per instructions for using BelHalla Rejuvenating Serum that follow. ● Derma Rolling approximately every 14 days, totalling 7 treatments over 12 weeks. Instructions: 1. Clean the skin thoroughly. 2. Apply a skin sanitising product using cotton pads (optional). 3. Hold the roller gently, taking care not to apply significant pressure. Too much pressure will lead to pain and increased nerve sensitivity. If it seems that your roller is dragging or pulling the skin, check the needles to ensure they’re in place and not bent. Remember, you only want to penetrate the top layer of skin. 4. Roll the roller in one direction only, pulling the drum towards the handle. You should not be pushing it, as that can make going over uneven surfaces more difficult. Going back and forth could cause the needle to re-enter the same hole repeatedly, which is why moving in only one direction is crucial for even coverage. 5. Cover the area using short controlled strokes of 2-4 inches. It is harder to maintain constant and even pressure using longer strokes, so they should be avoided. Always roll upwards and outwards. Use care near the hairline so that hair does not become entangled in the roller and ripped out. Roll across each area around 10 to 15 times, making sure to keep count. 6. Follow up with a suitable high quality skin serum if desired, ensuring that it is designed and safe for use after derma rolling, such as the Vitamin C+ or Hair+ serum, included in BelHalla kits. 7. Please follow these guidelines, combined with the specific guide relating to each individual area of the body. 15 What to expect afterwards It is normal for your skin to be red for a few hours after the treatment. In some cases, (usually only when needles over 1.0mm are used), the redness could persist for as long as two days. A little bit of itchiness is also possible due to the release of histamines. Dry skin, tightness, and tenderness are all common side effects. Avoid direct sunlight immediately after the treatment and be sure to use a natural sun protection (spf 30+) if you do need to venture outdoors. The increased collagen production starts to take effect after around 48 hours, although clear visible improvement should begin to become noticeable after about 3-6 weeks into the treatment course, so it’s important to be patient and consistent. You will soon notice benefits, with cumulative ongoing improvement over time - smoother, fresher looking skin with a more even tone. We recommend taking before and after pictures at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 weeks so you can keep track of your progress. It can be very satisfying to see just how far you have come! 16 Specific instructions for individual areas of the body Facial Rejuvenation 1. 2. 3. Begin on one side of the face and cover it thoroughly before proceeding to the other side. It is better to start on the right side and then do the left side. Roll outwards from the middle of the chin toward the lower ear horizontally. Place the roller slightly higher up the cheek and repeat, gradually working your way further up the face until the entire half has been covered. Resist the urge to roll over the eye socket area. If you have eye wrinkles that you want to work on, gently pull this skin downward over the cheek and roll it there to avoid damaging your eye. The skin around and under the eye is extremely thin, caution is advised. Do not use excessive pressure and roll gently. Upper Arm Treatment Derma rolling can help sagging or wrinkled skin in the upper arm area. 1. Before beginning, massage the upper arm, working upward in the direction of the chest. 2. Then start rolling upward toward the chest on the right arm, moving across to the back while continuing an upward roll. 3. Then cover the same area with perpendicular rolls. 17 4. Repeat the entire process on the left arm, and follow with BelHalla Vitamin C+ serum. Hand Rejuvenation Just as derma rolling can stimulate collagen production and thicken the skin on your face, it has a similar effect on your hands. 1. After cleaning your hands thoroughly, start with the tip of the right thumb and roll up the thumb and down the back with short strokes. 2. Do this on each finger, being sure to roll up across the back of the hand. 3. Then roll across the back of each hand, perpendicular to the fingers before repeating the entire process on the left hand. Needles longer than 1mm are not recommended for hand treatment. Do not use excessive pressure. 18 Abdomen 1. Start in the middle of the abdomen and roll upwards. 2. Make repeated strokes toward the right side, then move back to the centre and work outward to the left side. 3. Cover each area 10 to 15 times. Apply BelHalla Vitamin C+ serum and use caution when going out in the sun. Keep in mind that a 1.5mm roller might be better for severe scarring, while 0.75mm can be enough for smaller scars. The BelHalla 540 1.0mm is the sweet spot. Thigh area 1. It is important to only massage upwards towards the trunk, to work with venous drainage and not damage the valves in the veins which cause blood to pool in the limbs. 2. This is the one area where its recommend to apply a little more pressure, as clinical experience suggests you achieve quicker results. Avoiding the sun is usually easier on the thighs than the face and hands and direct sunlight should still be avoided for at least 24 hours. 19 Neck and Décolletage If you have loose skin in the neck area, derma rolling can help tighten it, whilst also reducing the appearance of aging and sun damage. 1. As always, clean the skin first. 2. Start from the base of the neck in the centre and roll up the neck until you reach the jaw. 3. Start each subsequent roll slightly higher up until you have covered the entire area, then do the right side and the left side. 4. Keep in mind that the skin on the neck is extremely sensitive, so caution is advised. It is important to roll gently, try to avoid any significant redness or discomfort. 20 Hair Loss Typically, pattern hair loss occurs on the top and crown of the head, and for women, starts with a widening centre parting. Hair can sometimes get caught around the roller and pulled out, which only leads to further damage, roll in the direction of the hair to avoid this. It is advised to use BelHalla hair regenerating serum for best results. Improvement is gradual over time and it is important to take treatment images to track your progress. Treatment is more suited for those in the early stages of hair loss. 21 Derma Roller Warnings & Precautions (contraindications) Avoid cross infection - Do not share your roller. Some redness after using the derma roller is completely normal and should not be a cause for alarm. However, if redness persists for several days, make sure to start the following treatment with significantly less pressure and monitor. Discontinue use if discomfort persists. Keep the roller out of reach of children and place it inside the protective case when not in use to prevent damaging the needles. Hemophiliacs and pregnant women should avoid derma rolling altogether. Derma rolling should be avoided on top of broken skin, such as scabs, wounds, and blisters. Those with cold sores should also exercise extreme caution to avoid spreading them. People with raised or suspicious moles, skin cancer, keloid scars, or bruised skin should also avoid this treatment. Those taking anticoagulants or any medications that increase photosensitivity should avoid derma rolling while using the medication. Any areas of the skin that are being treated with topical medications should not be derma rolled. If you have recently undergone other facial treatments such as IPL, filler injections, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion, you should wait until the inflammation has subsided before attempting derma rolling. People with compromised immune systems or diabetes are at higher risk of infection following the treatment, so they should consult their physician before proceeding. Certain topical medications should also be avoided before, during, and after skin rolling. In particular, creams containing Vitamin A and retinoids should be avoided because of the risk of too much of the product being absorbed into the bloodstream. Products containing EGF (epidermal growth factor) should also be avoided. 22 It is important to wait at least a week between treatments to avoid damage, the optimal recommended treatment frequency for many conditions is fortnightly. Using the roller more often will not bring about additional benefits and could lead to undue irritation. In fact, waiting 14 days between treatments is ideal, because collagen levels peak around then so the wound healing cycle can begin again more effectively. It is also recommended to give your skin a one-month break after performing the procedure a total of 7 times (always waiting 14 days in between treatments). Please see the BelHalla 12 week treatment course included. Repeat the treatment course following every one month break for ongoing improvement and maintenance. Cleaning your derma roller (isopropyl alcohol, min 70%) Derma rollers must be cleaned thoroughly after each use to prevent infection. This is a simple process that only takes a few minutes to complete. 1. Rinse the roller using warm running water. 2. Disinfect the roller with isopropyl alcohol of at least 70%. This can be achieved either through spraying generously, or by placing the roller into a cup with alcohol for 30 mins to soak. If you choose this option, be sure to rest the roller on top of a cotton ball inside the cup to avoid bending or damaging the needles. Even after cleaning and disinfecting the roller, you should never use it on another person. Store your roller in a protective case, taking care not to let it come into contact with the sides of the case as this can damage the needles. If you drop or damage your roller, discard immediately. 23 MICRONEEDLING COMBINED WITH BELLHALLA VITAMIN C+ SKIN SERUM VITAMIN C, HYALURONIC ACID, VITAMIN E + AMINO COMPLEX SERUM Although dry needling alone can achieve great improvements in the skin, combining the practice with a product that takes advantage of the increased trans-dermal absorption can yield even greater results. Our serum has been specifically formulated with ingredients that will work in conjunction with the derma roller's unique ability to deliver the product deep into the skin's layers. BelHalla Vitamin C+ skin serum has been formulated to take advantage of the enhanced absorption achieved with the BelHalla derma roller. 24 Vitamin C Vitamin C is often mentioned in conjunction with anti-aging, but the truth is that it is helpful to people of all ages. No matter how old you are, your skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation every time you step outdoors without wearing sunscreen. Even if you religiously apply SPF, your skin still has to cope with pollutants in the air. While you might think this type of damage cannot be reversed, the truth is that Vitamin C can reduce the appearance of the effects of free radicals when applied topically. It is an indispensable part of the body's natural collagen production process, making it the natural choice serum to be used with a skin roller. Moreover, once the vitamin has been absorbed by the skin, it cannot be washed away, so the benefits will be long lasting. Other benefits from Vitamin C include increased cell turnover, a reduction in skin discoloration and an overall brightening effect. BelHalla rejuvenating skin serum contains a potent 20% Vitamin C. Many people notice a difference in skin tone and brightness after as little as a week of daily use, combined with fortnightly derma rolling for optimal results as per the treatment guide. Vitamin C is particularly useful to counteract the dry skin that can occur as a result of derma rolling. Puncturing the skin's stratum corneum is a great way to increase product absorption, but small amounts of your body's fluids also leak out in the process. Vitamin C can help avoid this problem. 25 Hyaluronic acid BelHalla rejuvenating skin serum contains a perfectly balanced 11% hyaluronic acid. Don't be fooled by its name; hyaluronic acid is not a harsh chemical. In fact, it is actually a moisture-binding ingredient that keeps your skin hydrated and looking healthily plump. Hyaluronic acid can actually hold 1000 milliliters of water per gram, which is why it is so effective at helping your skin retain moisture. It also helps you maintain your collagen supply as you age so that your skin stays smooth and elastic. Hyaluronic acid is something that you already have in your body. It's what makes your skin firm and supple. As babies, we have an abundance of hyaluronic acid (HA), but our stores are slowly depleted over a lifetime, especially after age 40. It is thought that we loose approximately 1% of our HA per year from birth onwards, so if you are over 50, you have lost more than half. Thankfully, it is easy to get the benefits of hyaluronic acid with our serum. When used in conjunction with the derma roller, it is readily absorbed by your skin so it can begin working its magic, boosting elasticity and plumping out lines by drawing to it precious hydration. However, it is important to note that hyaluronic acid is capable of penetrating the skin's uppermost layers, so it will still be beneficial on the days you use it without the roller. This ingredient is helpful to people with all skin types, even those with oily skin. Skin becomes luminous, hydrated, plumper, with more youthful vitality. 26 Vitamin E Vitamin E is great for your skin, its an antioxidant that can protect and repair. Antioxidants neutralize the oxidant effect of free radicals, which are molecules that damage collagen. The atoms that make up your body try to maintain an even number of electrons, that's what makes them stable. If an atom has an uneven number of electrons, it will steal an electron from another atom to become stable. When your skin takes a beating from outside factors, such as the sun's ultraviolet rays, your body can produce free radicals. Free radicals are atoms with an uneven number of electrons, and when they form inside your body, they steal electrons from healthy cells like the ones that make up your skin. This can cause a damaging chain reaction which causes cellular damage. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful antioxidants, but your body can't produce it by itself. BelHalla revitalising serum allows you to deliver vitamin E directly in to the skin where it's needed most. 27 Amino complex Amino acids are proteins that have a positive effect on cells. Your skins cells are constantly renewing themselves, and they need amino acids in order to carry out this process. Amino acids can also help boost collagen production and you now know how important collagen is in improving your skin's texture and appearance! Put simply, collagen is a protein, and amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The amino acids are particularly useful when it comes to boosting collagen production. Amino acids are known for their ability to smooth skin, fill lines, and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring. They can help your skin stay hydrated, lending a more youthful appearance to your complexion. 28 Instructions for using Vitamin C+ - BelHall Rejuvenation Serum BelHalla Rejuvenation serum should be used on a daily basis as part of your skin care routine and applied directly after a skin rolling session every 2 weeks for optimal increased absorption. It can be used in the morning, at night, or both. It can also be worn underneath sunscreen or makeup. 1. Wash your face and pat dry. It is important to use the serum on a clean face that has been washed completely of all traces of makeup, sunscreen and moisturizer. 2. Dispense a dime sized amount of serum into clean hands. 3. Gently apply a thin layer to your skin, patting it in gently until it is absorbed. 4. Wait a few minutes for your skin to absorb the serum before applying moisturizer, makeup or sunscreen. Although it is not necessary to keep it cold, the serum can be kept in the refrigerator for a cooling sensation when it is applied. Store out of direct sunlight The serum has a shelf life of two years. Use within 3 months once opened. Serum Precautions & Warnings Avoid use on the eyelids and eye contact in general. If some of the product accidentally gets in your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water for 15 to 20 minutes. See a doctor if irritation persists. Keep the serum out of the reach of children.
