The simple answer is no. The word sterilise has a very strict medical definition. It means that the product is sterile as it was when new (after initial gamma ray or EO sterilisation) and can then be used on a different person.

The only way to redo this with medical equipment such as a derma roller is to use an autoclaving machine which unfortunately also melts the roller and damages the needles.

We are often asked why some companies sell cleaners that sterilise the roller while our cleaners only disinfect the rollers. This is because any company that advertises that their cleaner sterilises the roller simply does not understand the meaning of the word and you should perhaps view them with caution if you plan to purchase products from them.

Whether a needle device is sterile or not is not something you can take chances with?

Our cleaners use either isopropyl alcohol or colloidal silver in the natural cleaner to kill 99.99% of bacteria so reducing any risk of skin infection.

Beware false claims on this subject!

As hair restoration does not rely on collagen induction like scars, anti aging and stretch marks the instructions for use are slightly different. Please see the detailed instructions below.

1.    Spray the hair to be treated with the White Lotus Hair Restoration spray. Spray the affected thinning area and also the surrounding areas.
2.    Use about 6 to 10 pumps of the bottle on the entire scalp.
3.    Use your fingers to massage the spray into the scalp.
4.    Wait about 1 minute before performing skin needling.
5.    Use the 1.0mm dermastamp to stamp over each area about 20 times.
6.    Make sure you have completed one area before moving onto the next area.
7.    Start at the front of the scalp and work your way backwards.
8.    First do the right side of the scalp and then the left.
9.    After you have done this you can move from the front right corner to the front left corner and slowly work your way backwards doing this.
10.    This will insure you cover the entire scalp evenly as it is easy to miss patches with the dermastamps.
11.    If you have very short hair you can also do this with a Lotus Roller (dermaroller). This can only be done if your hair is under 2 cm long.
12.    The skin needling should only be performed once a week. Any more than this will dry out the scalp and cause dandruff.
13.    The Hair restoration spray should be applied every day at least once a day but preferably twice a day. It can be used alone in this way as well as with skin needling.
14.    Small amounts of regrowth can be seen in as little as 30 days but ideally you should wait about 3 months to see sustainable changes.
15.    A course of treatment should be 3 months for short term problems like post-partum hair loss and should be on going to address hereditary problems like male pattern baldness or female hair loss.
16.    Use the Natural dermaroller cleaner on the dermastamp in between treatments to insure good hygiene.
17.    The 1.0mm stamp is usually the best length as to induce hair regrowth the micro needles only need to penetrate shallowly but the hair provides some cushioning which the longer 1.0mm micro needles can pass through more easily.

Been terrified by an unpleasant you tube video of skin needling recently? You will be happy to learn this is not necessary.
When performing skin needling with shorter micro needles like the 0.5mm and 1.00mm there may be a few drops of blood most of which are instantly rolled into the skin if you are rolling quickly. That is all that is required to achieve results as the micro needles have reached the dermis where collagen induction takes place.

Many people worry that they are doing it incorrectly and not applying enough pressure. This is not usually the case a few small drops of blood is normal and excessive bleeding is not required.

There is a common myth that you need to produce large amounts of blood to achieve results. It has developed because as part of the wound healing process a tiny amount of damaged collagen needs to come in contact with blood plasma in order to initiate the wound healing cascade. It is this cascade which creates the new layers of collagen with skin needling.

This does not mean you need large amounts of blood all over the surface of the skin.

Remember that even if using a 1.5mm roller collagen induction only takes place up to 0.6mm into the skin. That is a lot of unnecessary damage that your body has to allocate resources to heal.

There are some medical treatments many to assist severe burn scars that can benefit from much more aggressive techniques but these should be performed in a surgical environment and never at home to ensure adequate hygiene.

Our philosophy is to know the science and then only cause the minimum damage necessary to achieve maximum results.

This topic causes a lot of confusion for many people as there is a lot of conflicting information on the web.

Many years ago many treatments with skin needling recommended treatments every day to achieve the maximum increase in collagen.

More recent research has shown that a group of enzymes called collagenase peak about 2 weeks after treatment. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down the old misaligned collagen fibres found in scar tissue.

Most websites only talk about creating a new layer of collagen which is an important part of the treatment but not the whole story. You also need to break down the old scar tissue to create new smooth skin in the area.

By waiting 2 weeks you are allowing these enzymes to peak and start to subside before starting to create new collagen again with a new treatment.

It is also considered possible that needling every day may create a more long term level of inflammation in the skin which will not improve results.

For these reasons 2 weeks is an ideal gap between treatments for great results.

Yes it is great for reducing those tell-tale lines under and around the eyes.

Some silly sites will tell you to risk your eyeball by rolling into the eye socket. This is of course silly and more importantly unnecessary.

Simply use your other hand to draw the skin under the eye down onto the bone and then you can roll safely and freely.

The skin in this area is very sensitive so it is best to stick to the 0.5mm Lotus Roller.

Cleaning the roller can be very simple but first some don'ts!

•    Don’t leave the roller in a glass or on other surfaces where the tiny needles will get damaged.
•    Don’t use household disinfectants or other potentially toxic products on the roller. They can remain on the roller and be absorbed straight into your skin.

The simplest way is to follow the following instructions

1.    Rinse quickly under running water in case there is some residue on it from the skin.
2.    Spray the roller from all angles with the Lotus Roller cleaner.
3.    Carefully place the roller back into its case making sure the micro needles do not touch anything else.
4.    Before using again spray the roller thoroughly again.
5.    Wait at least 2 minutes before using it again on the skin.

1. After the first treatment skin will often feel tighter and look fresher.
2. The increase in collagen induction begins within 48 hours of treatment. However it usually takes at least 4 weeks for superior results to be seen.
3. The results will continue to improve for 3-12 months after the treatments as a whole new collagen matrix is formed within the skin.  
4. New collagen laid down lasts for a period of 5-7 years making micro needling a very long lasting treatment.
5. The collagen induction will produce a decreased appearance of lines and wrinkles and an increase in the firmness of the skin.
6. Depending on what is being treated there will also be a reduction in visible scar tissue, reduced signs of UV damage, tightening of the skin, reduced hyperpigmentation, less rosacea, thickening of the skin, reduced skin laxity, increase in scalp hair growth, a reduction in the signs of stretch marks and an improvement in cellulite.

You can also take the microneedling quiz to find out what is the best treatment for you

Yes like any skin treatment there are some things that are best avoided.

The following should not be rolled across - broken skin, scabs, wounds, bleeding skin, blisters, rashes, warts, psoriasis, eczema, pustular or nodular rosacea, fungal infections, suspected cancerous growths, keloid scars, active pustular acne and cold sores.

Customers should also consult their doctor if taking any anti-coagulant medications other than aspirin and any drugs known to cause photo sensitivity such as Accutane medications.

Pregnant and breast feeding women should only perform dry needling where no products are used on the skin for at least 8 hours after treatment.

White Lotus treatments adhere to 3 unique principles

Principle 1 – Use Only Natural Substances during Micro needling Treatments

All substances used before, during and after the micro needling treatments have to be natural in origin. We do not include mass produced synthetic vitamins, minerals, peptides or stem cells in this category.

Micro needling is known to dramatically increase the absorption of products through the skin making it very important we know exactly what is being absorbed.

Principle 2 – Use the Least Invasive Micro needling Techniques to Achieve the Desired Results

This is a principle which influences which needle length you choose, the length of treatment and the techniques used during treatment.

In adopting micro needling the cosmetic industry has applied its existing philosophy that excessive damage to the skin is often justified for short term results. The natural progression from this attitude is the use of more and more invasive and damaging techniques to ensure quick results at any cost.

To create holistic micro needling we need to use the shortest needles possible and cause the minimum trauma possible to achieve the desired results.

We also need to apply very specific rolling techniques to minimise any pain or side effects caused by the treatments. To do otherwise is simply creating an unnecessary burden on the body’s resources.

Principle 3 – Apply the Principals of Traditional Medicine to Improve Micro needling Treatments

The principals of traditional medicine systems such as Chinese Medicine were designed to work with the body as a whole. Excessive trauma could not be applied to one part of the body without ramifications for the rest of the body.

Achieving this holistic approach to micro needling is simple to achieve when we apply the theories of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture theory to modern micro needling. This provides us with a framework in which to work and a foundation for the treatments.

This principal leads us to a variety of possibilities for the use of micro needling combined with natural ingredients for therapeutic as well as cosmetic purposes.

Skin can often feel dry after performing skin needling. This is because the micro needles create tiny holes in the outer layer of the skin. Small amounts of the skin sebum leaks out through these holes causing skin dryness.

This is one reason White Lotus has long promoted green tea oil for use on the skin after treatment. As an oil it can moisturise in a way water based moisturisers cannot. This reduces the dryness and allows your skin to feel comfortable throughout courses of treatment.

It is also a very good reason to avoid vitamin A based creams which have not been shown to enhance skin needling treatments and definitely make the condition of dry skin much worse.

Organic Green Tea Oil

All White Lotus oils are in a green tea oil base (Camellia oil) and use a unique maceration in our manufacturing facility to naturally add active whole herbs to the serums.

Green tea oil has the advantage of being an oil and so reducing dryness more effectively than water based creams but without causing acne.

Green tea oil has 2 major uses with skin needling
•    It enhances the anti aging effect of skin needling
•    It reduces the side effects associated with skin needling – photosensitivity, dryness, redness

The Research on Green Tea Oil

•    The oil is particularly rich in anti-oxidants with at least 9 major anti-oxidant compounds so far having been identified.
•    The oil contains a high percentage of polyphenols which are some of the most potent and effective anti-oxidant compounds available.
•    The oil demonstrates strong antimicrobial properties.
•    Green tea oil has shown strong anti-proliferative properties against at least 3 major forms of cancer.

Research on green tea extracts

Extracts of green tea have been shown to-
•    have a UV protective property and help repair UV damage
•    influence collagen type 1 production
•    Improve scaring and wound healing
•    Repair the damage of radiotherapy on the skin.
•    It is also a powerful antioxidant applied topically  and one study showed that an extract from green tea combined with a particular type of LED treatment produced results in 1 tenth of the time it took LED alone.
•    Limits the reactive oxygen that is usually produced by LED therapy and which damages cells.
•    Improves radiotherapy induced burns.
•    Improves sebum production and reduces acne.

All oils are award winning, PETA approved and made in the UK and Australia

Despite the recent titanium hype medical grade surgical stainless steel remains the gold standard for invasive surgical devices. It is also needs to be mentioned that Titanium products are only titanium plated.

This is why syringes, acupuncture needles and scalpels are made of Surgical Stainless steel. It has been shown to have the advantages of durability and lack of toxicity (1).

It is simply a different quality to most on the market 😀 

It is machine assembled to the highest standard using mould injected needle technology which  is great for sensitive skin.
It is machine manufactured and then immediately packaged in a storage container within the packaging for your safety is guaranteed.

It is guaranteed to last a year of continual use if you keep it in it's protective case in between fortnightly treatments and don't let the needles come into contact with anything else other than your skin. Many clients say they actually last longer than this!

Finally the design has been modified over years of clinic use to be durable and effective. Many products on the market are now using glamorous rounded ergonomic handles. These are designed to sell rollers not for practical use as anyone who has used a roller often will tell you. It is hard to know when a round handled roller is in full contact with the skin which compromises the results.

Our rollers are designed by people who use rollers to get you the results you want 😍

If you are not sure what crystal is right for your skin take the quiz to find out which one is right for your skin 😍

Your Jade Roller Can start squeaking if it is not maintained, this is how you fix it!

Thanks for your enquiry about how long the dermastamp and dermaroller last.

We have a guarantee that they will last a year of continuous use if you keep them securely in the protective case in between treatments and use the natural beauty tool cleaner.

You need to ensure that the needles are never dropped or come in contact with anything other than your skin.

It is is interesting question. Cupping won’t produce more sagging in the skin but it will change the shape of the face slowly and this does involved changing the connective tissue.

Recent research has suggested that Chinese massage cups may actually break up old connective tissue in the area (1). Tightening of connective tissue is one of the main causes of the changes in facial shape we associate with ageing. By improving this cupping therapy can not only improve the texture and colour of the skin by dramatically increasing circulation it may also reduce the overall signs of ageing in the face.

It is worth noting that new new connective tissue produced will be less tight as it is younger but this is not the same as loose it will simply be more flexible like younger skin.
