Deliver pharmacy grade active topical serums, peptides, vitamins and anti-oxidants, direct to the area just below the dermal – epidermal (DE) junction of skin tissue using a calibrated sterile and disposable micro-channelling roller. The DermaFrac Infusion Wand is prepared by attaching a sterile disposable surgical roller cartridge direct from its packaging, and the selected serum infusion solution cartridge is also inserted behind the roller cartridge. Both cartridges are single use only for hygiene purposes, and are safely disposed of immediately your treatment is completed, whilst the DermaFrac wand is cleansed after every use using hospital grade microbiological disinfectant, so that cross contamination is avoided. DermaFrac works by lightly stimulating the dermal layers using a roller containing hundreds of tiny surgical steel needles, creating micro-channels in the skin. As the carefully calibrated hand-piece is being rolled across your skin’s surface, a vacuum gently draws the skin upwards and away from nerve endings, into contact with hundreds of micro-needles that painlessly penetrate through the epidermis and into the upper dermis (papillary dermis) increasing collagen and fibroblast activity. The micro-channels created act as pathways for the delivery of the serums to the all important upper dermis. As your skin comes into contact with the needles, the serum infusion cartridge simultaneously and continuously dispenses its pharmaceutical contents, coating each needle with serum as they gently create their micro-channels, ensuring the serum is delivered directly to the dermal – epidermal junction (DE) through the micro-channels where it is most needed and can best perform its magic in skin rejuvenation (see diagram below – How DermaFrac works). By using the vacuum to draw the skin away from the nerve endings, each area of your skin comes into contact with the roller, however, the pain usually associated with a skin needling treatment is minimised, in fact it is often not felt at all. This ensures no pain and no bleeding – a definite perk for those with sensitive skin. Many clients liken the serum infusion experience to that of being massaged by a tiny spiky ball at worst. So, whilst needles running across your face sounds scary, they only penetrate the skin at a depth of 0.25mm (and for some of us, before you grab for a calculator or fire up the internet, in old school speak 0.25mm equates to 9/1000’s of an inch) – the needles have been carefully selected so that the channels created are just below the dermal-epidermal junction and just above the capillaries and nerve endings. The use of the vacuum and serum coated roller allows up to 80 percent more nutrients than other treatment methods to effectively penetrate the skin, improving your results. The use of the roller also triggers the process of neovascularization and neocollagenesis, the identical process that occurs with skin needling, which will cause improvement in skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size and stretch marks.
