As demand for professional skin treatments continues to grow, more salons across Australia are integrating derma rolling (microneedling) into their service menu—and for good reason. When performed correctly, this minimally invasive treatment delivers noticeable results with minimal downtime.
At Salon First, Australia’s leading wholesale beauty distributor, we support salon professionals with high-quality derma rollers and clinical skincare essentials—so you can deliver visible, safe, and results-driven treatments.
What Is a Derma Roller?
A derma roller is a handheld device embedded with hundreds of tiny, medical-grade needles. When rolled over the skin, it creates microchannels that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. This encourages:
- Increased collagen and elastin production
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Enhanced product absorption
Used professionally, it’s a powerful skin rejuvenation technique ideal for clients seeking anti-ageing, scar reduction, fine line smoothing, and radiance-boosting treatments.
Professional Derma Rolling Techniques for Salons
To ensure safety and optimal results, derma rolling must be performed using sterile tools, proper technique, and appropriate post-treatment care.
