1. General information; what is skin microneedling
Skin needling, also
referred to as Dermarolling, Micro-needling or Collagen Induction Therapy
(CIT), is a therapy that stimulates wound healing process to produce new
collagen and elastin and therefore, reduces the appearance of fine lines,
wrinkles, scars, and stretch mark. This technique is also applied to improve
skin texture and tighten pores. By introducing active ingr edients
into the deep skin tissue at higher absorption rate, skin needling is applied
to treat hyper-pigmentation (brown spots), active acne skin and alopecia as
well.
Skin needling devices
are commonly roller or stamp which has numbers of fine and sharp needles. Those
needles create numerous microscopic channels which provides clean and fast
routes for active ingr edients in
medical or cosmetic solutions, and the micro-scale wounds in the skin initiate
new collagen and elastin production; the skin becomes thicker, plumber and more
youthful.
The epidermis is the
out most layer of the skin, acting as the body’s major barrier against an
inhospitable environment. It is the thinnest on the eyelids at 0.05mm and the
thickest on the palms and soles at 1.5mm.

All needle sizes can
stimulate wound healing process to develop new collagen and elastin on
different levels. Home user roller (0.25mm) stimulates collagen induction but
at a slower rate than clinical or medical roller.

Most cosmetic ingr edients have obstacles to penetrate into the skin
layer because of its physical size and characteristics. For instance, vitamin C
is hydrophilic and skin surface is hydrophobic. Generally speaking, only less
than 1% (0.03~1%, moisturizer) of active ingr edients
can reach the deep skin layer (dermis) and 99% of cosmetics get wasted. Even
highly expensive cosmetic with encapsulated ingr edients
in liposome (vehicles) has 1~3 % absorption rate. Using microneedling before
and/or after cosmetic application can increase the absorption up to 50%. The sufficient
nutrients supplied into the skin tissue by skin needling can reverse aging
process.
2. Genosys Beauty Roller; Diskneedle Therapy System
Genosys brand was
established by the world top microneedling device producer, DTS MG. Co., Ltd. (Seoul , Korea
Each Genosys Roller
has nine (9) disks. Each disk has sixty (60) needles. Unlike other devices,
those needles are on a whole disk. Needles can’t fall from the device.
3. GENOSYS at-Home Treatment; How to Use
One session every day or every other
day
PREPARATION: Use on perfectly
cleansed, make-up-free skin. You may wipe your face with a cotton pad moistened
with a disinfectant solution.
SPRAYING: Spray Genosys Revitalizing Hydro Mist
over the whole face (5 to 6 sprays).
ROLLER: Open the roller blister and
remove the protective cap. This device is sterile during its 1st use and should
be cleaned afterwards by placing it under running hot water or putting it in a
bath of disinfectant solution. * Do not
soak the roller head over 10 minutes in any type of solution.
ΓΌ TIP Roll the rotating
head over the face using very light pressure. The pressure will depend on the
thickness and sensitivity of the skin. The ideal pressure may cause a little
transitory redness, proof of the effectiveness of the procedure, but it should
never cause bleeding. To assess it, you can test the Roller on the back of your
hand and gr adually increase the
pressure each day, according to how the skin reacts. Avoid contact with the
eyes and lips.
SPRAYING: Spray the Revitalizing Hydro Mist once
more after using the roller on the face. Leave the solution to be absorbed by
the epidermis (upper layers), without spreading it or tapping with fingertips.
You may feel a fleeting stinging sensation which will gr adually
fade.
TO FINISH: At the end of the session, apply Genosys Nano Serum or your
regular night cream. Cleanse the Roller head and place the cap back onto the
roller head properly to protect the needles.
Precautions
for use
Do not combine this progr am with any other potentially irritating or sensitizing
skin care routine. Use only on healthy skin, free from even the slightest
lesion (acne, herpes, eczema, skin break-out, mole, etc). Handle the roller
with care and never use excessive pressure.
SOOTHING Apply a moisturizing /
soothing skin care cream such as Genosys Nano Cream (HSC) at the end of the protocol.
The needles will
become blunt after several treatments. This depends on how often you roll, how
long the needles are, how large the skin areas are. Replace Genosys roller head or buy a
new Genosys Roller if the needles don’t smoothly penetrate into the skin.
