Micro-Needling At Home Gives You The Ultimate Anti-Ageing Results
Great looking, healthy skin is now much easier that ever. You can get even better results from your skincare by micro-needling at home with the Cosmetic Roll-CIT from Environ.
So most of us have heard about Micro-needling but what exactly is it?
It’s a minimally invasive skincare treatment that uses a hand held roller called a Roll-Cit. The Roll-Cit has 108 ultra fine needles! Sounds scary and painful, but these tiny little needles can barely be felt.
The fine needles make temporary micro channels by piercing the skin’s surface layer of dead cells, which normally prevents the goodness in our skincare creams from penetrating. Gently needling the skin dramatically increases the penetration, absorption and effectiveness of the vitamins, peptides and antioxidants that are applied afterwards.
Daily use of the Cosmetic Roll-CIT at home for just a few minutes, in combination with active Environ skincare products, softens fine lines and wrinkles and pigmentation marks and scarring are reduced.
Here’s the science bit!
Research indicates that with simple topical application anything from just 0.1 to 7.2% of vitamin A applied to the skin penetrates down to the level of keratinocytes– the skin’s building block cells. By micro-needling the skin and then applying the product, the amount of large molecules that can penetrate is increased by 10,000 fold, boosting production of collagen – hence the CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) in the name of the tool. Skin becomes thicker after 10-12 weeks of regular use and continues to improve further after this.
How to do it…
The treatment involves rolling the device vertically, horizontally and diagonally over the skin for just five minutes. This creates multiple micro channels in the layer of compact, dead cells that normally protects the skin.
The roller is used at night after cleansing and toning the face and neck and before applying your Environ moisturiser, two to seven times per week. It is also ideal for plumping and firming loose skin in areas such as arms, abdomens, buttocks and thighs.
When Can I get started?
The Roll-CIT is usually recommended to those who have been on the Environ vitamin A skincare for a while. This is because needling allows active ingredients to penetrate much more effectively, increasing their potency. Which is a good, right! But irritation and redness can develop if used by those whose skin is not ready for it. So, we recommend that you have been using Vitamin A for at least 8 weeks before you start with your Roll-Cit. That you introduce it gradually. 2-3 times a week for a couple of minutes, building up to every night for around 5 minutes.
