Skin rolling is different than skin needling. Rolling enables you to cover a larger area for all over toning. You can have a rolling session done much closer to your eyes than a needling session.
There is no down time with rolling unless we use a more aggressive approach for deep scars, stretch marks, cellulite and ruined skin.
With a lighter touch and a shallower depth, you may have a rolling session every few if you so choose. The physical effects that you feel subside in an hour or so. There are usually no traces of the procedure being done after that 1st hour. You can wear make up that same day.
Done properly, skin rolling procedures are less invasive than needling. There should be no blood traces after a facial rolling session. But, using the longer needles may make a little larger puncture hole that may bring blood to the surface. You may want to use a topical anesthetic if you have deep scars, stretch marks or wrinkles.
Rolling sessions can be done more frequently than skin needling sessions. Needling sessions require at least four weeks between sessions. Deeper rolling sessions should wait at least two weeks before a subsequent session is performed. Mild rolling sessions could be done more frequently.
The micro-punctures that are the results of a rolling session, promote better penetration and absorption of skin and body care products, making them hundreds of times more effective.
Derma-rolling can be done with or without a topical anesthetic
Skin patches, such as nicotine, testosterone and pain patches have been proven to be more effective if the skin is rolled before the patch is applied.
Skin needling on the other hand is very effective for deeper crevices and more severe localized damage.

For about three days every month I suffer from Severe PMS. The cramping and all over body aches are almost unbearable and interfere with my daily life. I have tried every over the counter medicine and even some prescription drugs and nothing seems to help. Then I tried the far infrared belt and my prayers were answered! My pain seemed to just melt away and I was able to actually keep up with my normal activities. But the best part was the relief that I got lasted! Now when I feel that time comi…
After my husband and I spent our anniversary with Debbie for a Spa Day, we almost needed to call someone to drive us home we were so relaxed! See you next year!
After falling down a flight of concrete stairs, I was pretty sure I would be in bad shape for quite awhile. Luckily for me, I work for Dr. Shaw and he began adjustments immediately. It was suggested that I try two new services that are being offered at Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, namely the Infrared Dome and the Chi Machine.Since I had never experienced either of these machines, I didn’t know what to expect. After a short amount of time (10 mins.) I felt a warming sensation from the inside of …
I felt very comfortable and learned about how food and toxins effect my body. I was very pleased to have this experience.
My fat wrap was a very nice experience. I’ll be interested in the nutritional cleanse in the near future.
I have been very excited about my reaction to the series of foot baths that I have received from your office. I bought the treatments because I am always on my feet and they ache terribly by the end of the night. The baths soothed my feet while removing toxins from my system. The color of the water after my treatments changed dramatically as I progressed through the series. One of the things that was of interest to me was that my water changed to the color that indicates kidney issues. I later…
Hi There! Jo from Rita Ranch. I’m going on vacation from 10/3-10/9. I would like to do the bundle deal of ionic footbaths when I get back. After 1 session, 3 raised dark blue varicose veins on my legs look like spider veins! My toenails haven’t looked this good for yrs! The bottoms of my feet aren’t dry as a bone and cracked! I was so incredibly tired that I was almost comatose. My butt is incredibly less cottage cheesy looking! The skin on my thighs is smoother and the back of my thig…
Wow!! What could I possibly say? I never knew or saw a foot bath machine that could show and teach you so much about what a person has in their body and show all of the toxins that are in there. I would love to do more of this cleansing stuff again sometime!
I came into Alternatives in Health Care seeking an all natural way to look younger, and Debbie has helped me achieve that! After my first derma rolling session, I noticed an all over tightening of my skin. By my third session, a nodule that I’ve had on my jaw line for a long time has decreased dramatically in size. I’m happy that I found Alternatives in Health Care. Debbie is friendly and professional; the atmosphere at her place is relaxing and soothing. I’ll be referring my frien…
