Mesoscooter for the face: how it works
A mesoscooter or dermaroller is a small device designed to stimulate the skin of the face and body.
Externally, the device is a small roller on a handle, the surface is covered with small needles of various diameters and lengths. The device is used in salons and at home; it can be purchased at a pharmacy or store offering professional equipment for clinics. Some brands produce their own dermarollers and sell them in a set with meso-cocktails. The essence of the device is micro-punctures of the skin formed when rolling the roller. The smallest damage to the skin accelerates the penetration of nutrients and restorative agents, blood flows to the epidermis, accelerating the process of regeneration and cell renewal. Weakened connective fibers are strengthened, the skin becomes denser and more elastic, and its tone increases. With a course of using a mesoscooter, it is possible to activate the production of natural collagen. The device participates in anti-aging programs; it has an excellent effect on dull, sagging, aging skin.
Mesoscooter is a good alternative to injection mesotherapy, which can only be performed in cosmetic clinics.
Cosmetologists recommend using mesoscooters for:
- improving the absorption of serums and other cosmetics;
- getting rid of post-acne, scars and other noticeable damage;
- non-surgical skin tightening;
- eliminating excess pigmentation;
- combating fine wrinkles and other age-related changes.
Dermarollers are used for more than just the face. Larger rollers are used to stimulate the skin and body. The device copes well with cellulite and helps reduce stretch marks. A light head massage awakens the follicles and promotes increased hair growth.
Dermarollers are used together with special meso-cocktails.
Brief description of the aesthetic defect
Stretch marks, or striae, are atrophic (below the level of the skin surface) or, less commonly, normotrophic scars, formed as a result of slowing down the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins while maintaining their destruction. They can have a light pink, pale purple, whitish color with a pearlescent tint, depending on the stage of their development.
Stretch marks are formed due to tears in the mesh layer of the skin itself due to a decrease in its strength and elasticity. This occurs in areas subject to maximum stretching - the area of the mammary glands, the anterior abdominal wall and buttocks, the lateral surfaces of the lower chest, abdomen, the inner surface of the shoulders and thighs.
Most often, stretch marks occur in women during periods of hormonal changes in the body - during adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, as well as in athletes and bodybuilders with a rapid increase in muscle mass.
Which roller to choose for home
On sale you can find devices of various sizes, differing in the shape of the roller, the length and thickness of the needles, as well as the material from which they are made. Most often, rollers with steel or titanium needles are found. They are affordable, easy to use, but not very durable. Rollers with needles made from alloys of steel and silver or gold last much longer. A significant disadvantage is the higher price.
The size of the roller depends on its purpose. Facial devices are more compact. The length of the needles ranges from 0.2 to 3 mm. A universal option for treating facial skin is a roller with needles 0.75 mm long. This device successfully fights wrinkles and post-acne, improves tone and stimulates collagen production. Very short and thin needles are needed for a more sensitive epidermis, the longest ones are useful for combating cellulite.
Anti-stretch marks for mesoscooters
To carry out microneedling procedures using a mesoscooter, special preparations and cocktails are produced in accordance with pharmaceutical standards. They are safe and effective. Their components, in combination with the mechanical action of the mesoscooter needles, make it possible to achieve excellent results in eliminating or reducing stretch marks.
To carry out procedures using a mesoscooter, the following means are mainly used:
- universal cream “Mesoderm”, intended for preparation for the procedure. It includes an antiallergic agent and two local anesthetic drugs. In order to prevent pain and discomfort during and after the procedure, the cream is applied to the skin with stretch marks 20 minutes before it begins;
- hypoallergenic lotion containing chamomile and green tea extracts. The lotion is used to treat the skin before using the mesoscooter;
- gel based on a 2% solution of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid;
- gel for stretch marks based on hyaluronic acid with a mineral-salt complex and vitamins “A”, “E” and “C”. The drug helps to moisturize the skin, accelerate the resorption of scar tissue and cell regeneration, restore collagen and elastin fibers, increase the tone and strength of the dermis;
- a gel consisting of a balanced complex of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, antioxidant components and elastin. It activates the rapid restoration of the skin’s own elastin-collagen framework;
- serum "MIX", which is three types of hyaluronic acid - medium and low molecular weight, penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, as well as high molecular weight, which has a more superficial effect, but a quick effect. Works great on stretch marks;
- “Camilla” serum for stretch marks, containing proteolytic bacteria, silk extract oligosaccharides, baobab seed oil and other ingredients;
- a concentrated solution with organic silicon, which can be used in pure form or in cocktails containing artichoke, rutin or dimethylaminoethanol. Silicon helps normalize skin hydration, restore connective tissue, strengthen the vascular wall and skin framework. Dimethylaminoethanol, which is an amino alcohol, takes part in moisturizing the skin and protecting tissues from free radicals, increases the rate of metabolic and regenerative processes, due to which the tissues become elastic, and superficial atrophic scars and stretch marks are smoothed out.
The use of a mesoscooter to combat stretch marks and other defects is contraindicated in cases of reduced blood clotting, in areas of the skin with a wound surface, inflammatory processes, pustular rashes, hemangiomas, warts, and also in the presence of rosacea or eczematous and psoriatic elements in these places.
A mesoscooter is a modern and effective way to get rid of stretch marks without resorting to expensive salon procedures. You can improve your skin condition without leaving home. After the procedure, no long rehabilitation is required, and the result will not be long in coming.

How to use a mesoscooter correctly
Before starting work, the roller is disinfected with chlorhexidine. Liquids containing alcohol should not be used as they may cause irritation. The face is cleansed of makeup and washed with warm water and soap or gel. Then the skin is wiped with chlorhexidine. The meso cocktail is distributed over the face; it is convenient to apply it with a cotton swab.
Treatment begins from the forehead, rolling the roller horizontally, vertically and diagonally at least 5 times. The skin of the cheeks, nose and chin is then stimulated. You should not put pressure on the device; movements should be light and smooth. When the entire face has been treated with the roller, you can do a light massage with your fingertips and apply another portion of the meso-cocktail. Warm and irritated skin will instantly absorb the healing liquid.
After the procedure, it is useful to apply any nourishing or moisturizing mask to the skin. Do not use products with acids that irritate the skin.
After completing the procedure, you need to thoroughly disinfect the roller and needles, dry the device and put it in the case.
Expert advice
- Roll the roller near the eyes, nose, and neck only along the massage lines, without pressure, slowly, carefully.
- When changing the direction of movement of the roller, it is necessary to tear it off the skin, then place it at the desired angle.
- You cannot turn the roller without lifting it from the epidermis.
- Be careful when treating the eyelids and area around the lips!
- The duration of the manipulation should not exceed 15-20 minutes. For thin epidermis with red mesh – 10 minutes. A course of 10-20 procedures.
- After the course, a break of 30 days is required, that is, you can treat another area. For example, after manipulations on the abdomen, you can treat the head.
- During the procedure, blood may appear; treat the area with Octenisept spray.
- Do not wash off medicated serums or other medications. It is better to apply a moisturizing mask to the skin for 20 minutes to enhance the absorption of nutrients (a mask made from plant collagen).
- Apply sunscreen.
Useful tips: how to increase the effectiveness of procedures
When using home mesotherapy, you cannot replace cocktails with regular creams and essential oils. When piercing the skin, harmless products can cause severe irritation.
It is prohibited to use other people's rollers or lend your own device to others. Even thorough disinfection at home does not guarantee complete sterility.
The ideal course is 10 procedures. They are carried out at intervals of 4-7 days, the duration of rest depends on the individual skin reaction. You should not treat your face daily or every other day; this can cause swelling, itching, pain and other negative reactions. It is recommended to conduct no more than 2 courses per year. Using the roller too often reduces the effect of the procedures, the skin reaction becomes less bright, and the effect of home mesotherapy decreases.
It is important to monitor the condition of the device. If the needles become dull, they will not be of much use and the roller will have to be replaced. To extend its service life, do not allow the needles to come into frequent contact with hard surfaces. The roller must be protected from moisture and dust; after each procedure, the device is put into its case.
