BB Age Backwards Derma Roller Skincare System is the perfect "At-Home" system to incorporate into your skincare routine... Derma rollers offer significant skin benefits by creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production, resulting in the following; (Available in medical grade individual needles, as well as consumer grade disc needles)
- Boosts Collagen and Elastin: The primary benefit, this process repairs skin, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
- Reduces Acne Scars and Other Scars: Micro-needling breaks down old scar tissue and encourages new skin cell growth, which helps fill in depressed acne scars.
- Diminishes Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Increased collagen production plumps the skin, reducing the appearance and signs of aging.
- Improves Skin Tone and Texture: Consistent use leads to smoother skin and can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
- Enhances Product Absorption: The tiny holes (micro-channels) created allow serums to penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Minimizes Pores: As new collagen forms and skin tightens, pores appear smaller.

- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Actively helps soothe and supports skin barrier repair.
- Rosa Damascena (Rose) Water & Rose Hip Extract: Known for calming properties and reducing inflammation

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
- Preservatives (Phenoxyethanol/Ethylhexylglycerin): While necessary, some individuals find that preservatives can cause slight tingling when applied directly into the micro-channels created by the derma roller.
- Botanical Extracts: Although soothing, some botanical ingredients can cause reactions in highly sensitive skin.
RECOMMENDED USAGE:
- Cleanse: Use a gentle cleanser prior to using your derma roller.
- Apply: Apply the serum immediately after rolling (within minutes) to take advantage of the micro-channels.
- Patch Test: Because the skin is highly sensitized, perform a patch test on a small area before applying to full face.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sanitize: Thoroughly disinfect your derma roller by soaking it in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 5–10 minutes before every use.
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and oils.
- Roll: Gently roll back and forth 4–5 times in each direction (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) on specific sections of the face. Lift the roller slightly between passes to avoid scratching.
- Pressure: Apply only as much pressure as you can comfortably tolerate; it should not be painful. Avoid eyelids and under eye area as well as active acne.
- Post-Care: Apply a hydrating serum, such as hyaluronic acid, to maximize product absorption, which is improved by the microchannels.
- Clean and Store: Sanitize the roller again with alcohol, allow it to dry, and store it in its case.
Important Tips and Frequency
- Needle Size: Begin with 0.3mm to increase product absorption; 0.5mm is the maximum recommended for at-home, safe collagen stimulation, which can be introduced after 3-4 weeks of using .03mm.
- Frequency: Start once a week or once every two weeks. You can increase to every few days depending on how your skin tolerates it.
- When to Replace: Replace the roller head every 1–3 months, or sooner if the needles become bent, as blunt needles can damage skin.
- When to Avoid: Do not use on active acne, cold sores, eczema, or sunburnt skin.
- Avoid Irritation: Avoid using strong active ingredients like Retinols, vitamin C, or chemical exfoliants immediately before or after rolling
