Sterile Microneedling Serum | DERMIDA® Retinol + Vitamin C Booster | Against Large Pores and Photoaging

The essential added value of microneedling therapy as a non-ablative and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure lies in the low-risk, cost-effective and at the same time highly efficient treatment of aesthetic skin problems.

Example: Our skin is a natural protective mantle that acts as a barrier for creams and ointments. Not only is it the largest organ of the human body, but its function and structure also protect us from external chemical, mechanical and thermal influences. However, it does not make a significant difference between useful active substances and harmful influences.

Conventional creams and serums try to reach or penetrate this barrier with so-called penetrators. With rather moderate success. Microneedle serum, on the other hand, has a "clear path", so to speak, since the skin channels (and thus the protective layer) open up during treatment. A large number of studies have meanwhile proven the increased effectiveness of serums in combination with microneedling treatment. Thanks to specially formulated ingredients, serums can target problem areas. A pleasant side effect is the lubricating film formed by the often viscous serums, which acts like a cooling protective film between the microneedling device and the skin.

By Microneedle serum we mean a sterile active ingredient formulation specifically designed for topical and transdermal application directly to the skin during treatment with Dermapen or Dermaroller.

Topical means that the active ingredient is applied only to the appropriate area.

Transdermal means that the active ingredient is absorbed directly through the skin where it exerts its effect.

Sterile means that it is free from germs capable of reproduction, such as microorganisms and viruses. Serum is sterile only under strictly controlled, documented and certified pharmaceutically pure manufacturing conditions.

For the application and efficacy of sterile sera it is irrelevant whether they are applied with the Dermaroller or the Dermapen, both devices are equally suitable for transdermal application.

Apply serum to cleansed and disinfected skin area and massage in with Dermapen or Dermaroller.

Currently, there are two types of sterile sera for microneedling:

1. Fracture ampoules

2. Penetrating ampoules

Break ampoules have a predetermined breaking point that must be opened (i.e., broken) for removal. They are not resealable, which means the serum must be used up when applied.

Penetrating v ials, on the other hand, are designed as injection containers. These reusable vials are sealed with a rubber stopper that has a piercing rubber (septum). In order to protect the septum and fix the rubber stopper, there is an additional external closure.

We use a special rubber that closes automatically and completely after the cannula is pierced. Thus, the serum is sterilely closed again, uncontaminated and usable for up to 2 years. It is as if the serum had never been opened.

The syringe is pierced through the septum and pulled out with the serum. The additional needle can then be removed and the serum safely distributed over the affected skin area.

To ensure maximum efficacy of all active ingredients, most serums are supplied in light-tight amber glass or outer packaging. It should be stored away from sunlight and at temperatures between 15 °C and 25 °C. After the first withdrawal, it is recommended that all sera in piercing ampoules be stored in the refrigerator. Sera in broken ampoules should be used up completely after opening.

When unopened, the expiry date is indicated on the packaging. As a rule, a sterile serum can be stored unopened for two years. Once opened, broken ampoules must be used up completely. Penetrating ampoules with a resealable septum are stable unchanged for a long time after sterile withdrawal, i.e. the expiry date does not change.
