Derma stamping is a form of microneedling that involves using a handheld device with a stamp-like head containing tiny needles to create microscopic wounds that induce collagen and elastin production. To get the best results, its important to use the right products before and after derma stamping. Here are some details on what to use and what to avoid:
Before Derma Stamping:
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser that is free from harsh chemicals and alcohol.
- Avoid using facial scrubs, AHAs, and BHAs before derma stamping, as they can irritate your skin and open up your pores more than they should be.
- Avoid using makeup to cover up the treated area.
After Derma Stamping:
- Disinfect your derma stamp with unscented detergent and 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Avoid using active ingredients like Vitamins A and C too early in the healing process to prevent chemical burns.
- Use serums and other treatments that promote healing and stimulate collagen production, such as kiwi oil, linseed oil, hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E, copper peptides, azelaic acid, and growth factors.
- Continue your basic skincare routine, including cleansers, toners, acids, actives, serums, and moisturizers.
Its important to note that the needles on a derma stamp device are typically made of stainless steel or titanium and come in different lengths and thicknesses depending on the specific device and intended use. A derma stamp with a serum tank is a specialized micro-needling device that delivers serums directly into the skin during the stamping process. The serums penetrate deeply into the skin, enhancing absorption and effectiveness.
