Microneedle Derma Roller use for NeuroMuscular Facial Conditions

MIchelle Gellis AP LAc MAc DiplAc

Using a microneedle derma roller can provide several potential benefits for patients with neuropathy or neuromuscular deficiencies on their face, assuming they have been properly trained on how to use the device. Here are some ways in which a microneedle derma roller may assist in their recovery:

Enhanced blood circulation:

Microneedling with a derma roller promotes increased blood flow to the treated area. This improved circulation can help deliver vital oxygen, nutrients, and growth factors to the facial tissues, supporting the healing process. In the case of neuropathy or neuromuscular conditions, adequate blood supply is crucial for nourishing the nerves and muscles, aiding in their recovery and function.

Stimulation of nerve endings:

The micro-injuries created by the tiny needles of the derma roller can stimulate nerve endings in the skin. This stimulation may help reeducate the nervous system by triggering neural pathways and promoting sensory feedback. It can potentially improve the communication between the nerves and muscles in the facial area, assisting in the restoration of neuromuscular coordination.

Collagen production and tissue remodeling:

Microneedling induces a controlled inflammatory response in the skin, triggering the production of collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and elasticity of the skin. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can contribute to tissue remodeling and strengthening, which may have a positive impact on the facial muscles and surrounding structures affected by neuropathy or neuromuscular deficiencies.

Enhanced absorption of topical treatments:

The microchannels created by the derma roller allow for better penetration of topical treatments applied to the skin. This can be advantageous for patients with neuropathy or neuromuscular deficiencies as it allows for the delivery of therapeutic agents, such as traumeel, homeopathics or other regenerative substances, directly to the affected area. This targeted approach may aid in nerve regeneration and overall facial recovery.

It is important to note that the use of a derma roller for patients with neuropathy or neuromuscular deficiencies should be approached with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Proper training is essential to ensure safe and effective usage of the device. Additionally, individual patient assessments and tailored treatment plans are necessary to address specific conditions and considerations.

While microneedling with a derma roller holds potential benefits, its suitability for each patient should be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account their unique needs, medical history, and the guidance of a healthcare professional.
