DERMAROLLER®
Home care model C8
Patent-No: DE 10063634 Medical Device acc. German MPG / European Directive MDD 93/42 EEU / US-FDA listed 
Dear Customer,
We kindly request you to read the following instructions carefully. It contains important information about the use of the Dermaroller that should be strictly adhered to.
PURPOSE OF THE DERMAROLLER The Dermaroller is made for epidermal skin improvement and the transdermal delivery of substances into the human skin. It can be used repeatedly for about one hundred times and will last about 1 year with 2 applications per week. Do not use the Dermaroller on children or animals! The Home Care Dermaroller is NOT suitable to treat scars. (They only can be treated effectively by a physician with a medical Dermaroller!!!)
TECHNICAL DATA The Dermaroller consists of assembled plastic discs incorporating 192 fine stainless steel micro points in eight rows. The needle-tips have a length of 0.15 + 0.18 mm and a diameter of 0,08 mm at maximum penetration point. The roller head has a diameter of 20 mm and a width of 20mm. Needles and disks are firmly bonded together with a medical approved adhesive. The roller is connected to a handle.
Before you start using the Dermaroller the first time, you should know the following: Never apply high pressure! Even with higher pressure the micro-points cannot penetrate any deeper into the epidermis. Each skin is different in sensitivity. Slight tingling or itching may be felt until your skin becomes accustomed to the treatment. This is normal. Use two to three nights per week - as tolerated.
Using gentle pressure, roll the Dermaroller 4 times over each area in each direction, vertically, horizontally and in both diagonals. Please keep in mind that the epidermis around the eyes and the upper lip is much thinner. Therefore roll carefully over these areas. You may experience a slightly rougher skin surface after the initial procedures. This is normal and will disappear once the old sticky scales of the stratum corneum were removed by the microneedles.
The Dermaroller may be used on all skin part of the body. Avoid eyes area! If persistent redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a skin care professional. After each use of the Dermaroller your skin will require a higher dose of a good moisturizer. DIRECTIONS FOR CARE & STORAGE
The best way for cleansing the Dermaroller is our ROLLER-CLEANER. After use rinse the instrument in hot tab water, shake dry and spray 2 to 3 puffs ROLLER CLEANER on the roller head. Store back in the container.
NOTE: Always treat the Dermaroller gently and avoid any contact with hard objects or surfaces. IMPORTANT: Many industrial cleaning agents are aggressive to steel and may be subject to corrosion – do NOT use them.
IMPORTANT
A re-sterilization of the Dermaroller (any model) in an autoclave (steam or dry) or using ultra-sound is PROHIBITED. The needles would lose their sharpness and may detach from the roller, potentially causing an injury!
DO NOT USE: The Dermaroller should not be used on irritated skin, infected skin, fungal skin infections, severe active acne, etc. If you are not sure about your skin condition consult a dermatologist. SIDE EFFECTS: Are unknown. All materials are safe for the skin when used as directed. If you experience any persistant skin sensitivity STOP using the Dermaroller and consult a skin care specialist. The Dermaroller is for single-person use! Store the Dermaroller carefully and keep it out of the reach of children! Last change: February 24th 2009
