DERMAROLLER INSPIRED LONDON CONFERENCE

Again the Dermaroller was introduced to an international auditorium of Experts in Aesthetic Medicine on the FACE CONFERENCE in London.

Last lecture preparation during breakfast.
Dr Sach Mohan, Roger Bloxham – Mr. Dermaroller in the UK – Dr Martin Schwarz.

While the Plastic Surgeon Dr Martin Schwarz gave a superb speech and displayed his excellent results on Stretch Marks, Scar treatments and reduction in Age Spots, his colleague Dr Sach Mohan performed an impressive live procedure for skin rejuvenation.

After having attended so many lectures from morning to evening we could not await the Charity Dinner set for Saturday evening. But before we strolled through London to see the crowds that came all over the country to celebrate Her Majesty’s Birthday. The weather was just perfect and we took the chance to climb into the famous London Eye. A Must for everybody that visits this smashing Town, so full of life, one hardly can experience anywhere in the World.

When we arrived at Piccadilly Circus the police stopped the entire traffic to give way to the most curious demonstration we have ever seen. About 1000 or more naked cyclists rushed through London.

They all laughed and cheered but we never got an answer for the reason of this demonstration – possibly the British Nudist Club welcomes Global Warming.

Seven thirty p.m. we arrived at the MADAME TUSSAUDS MUSEUM to attend the Charity Gala Dinner. While drinks and canapés were served we stood among the Celebrities and Famous of this World. It was like a dream walk from history to today. They all looked real, just alive and smiled at us – and we had lots of fun talking to them.

Michael offered Humphry Bogard a Dermaroller – but he said: “It’s too late”

Who knows, possibly one day, Horst Liebl the inventor of the Dermaroller, will give you a “smiling interview” at Madame Tussauds Wax Cabinet.

Friends, if you have not seen this lively and stunning Capital of the United Kingdom, you haven’t seen the world. Come to London – you’ll never forget.

Warmest regards your

First Dermaroller Training Centers in Nevada & Florida

First Training Centers for DERMAROLLER® THERAPY opened in Nevada and Florida.

Phillip Terrazas, General Manager of CYNERGY invited us to RENO to give lectures for the Dermaroller Therapy and to train physicians hands-on. The initial workshop was held in the spacious clinic of Dr Corazon Ibarra, an international renowned specialist for acupuncture and homeopathy. She was supported by her colleagues from Florida Jiji Cook and Gina Blinton from SEASIDE ACUPUNCTURE in Florida.
Motto of the workshop was: Intensive training is the secret of all skills.

The first step was a slide-show lecture of about one hour that explained the physiological mechanisms of action how and why the soft alternative DERMAROLLER® THERAPY is so successful in treating sun damaged or aged skin, atrophic scars, acne scars, pigmentation problems, stretch marks and other skin problems.

Acupuncture for skin numbing

One of the training topics was the demonstration that fine micro-needles are very powerful and yet very soft alternative therapeutic tools. Initially precisely set acupuncture needles anaesthetised the skin within minutes. After they were removed the needles of the medical Dermaroller effortlessly treated the skin to stimulate new collagen formations and improved blood supply in the dermis without causing pain.

We also had some curious visitors that came to the clinic to see what the Dermaroller Therapy was like. When they saw the easy and painless treatment they put their scepticism aside and spontaneously asked for a treatment of their sun-damaged skin. Also the cameraman and his assistance that really had a very close look to the procedure for several hours, lied down and were Dermarolled.

John, the Cynergy representative in San Diego, CA, showed much talent in handling the Dermaroller and was trained as a Product Specialist.

Intensive training is the key to success

We spent 3 beautiful days in Reno and than we proceeded to the magnificent City of San Francisco for another 3 days. All workshop participants agreed that it was a superb start for the Dermaroller in USA. Now the ball is in the basket of our partners from Nevada and Florida to spread the news and to train other physicians on the West and East Coast of the United States. For 2009 it is our common goal to set up at least 30 Dermaroller Centers along each coast.

It was kind of a stressful journey, but for all the wonderful people we met as well as for ourselves it was worthwhile to come and teach and we left the US with a feeling that we have inspired confidence and competence.

Our special thanks goes to Dr Corazon, Dr Cook, Dr Blinton, Phillip, Dr Ceasar, John, the camera team and many others.

ICE-PICK & BOXCAR SCARS

Dr. Jacob and colleagues defined acne scars in 3 major subtypes:

The rolling scar type is the most common one, and it can be treated with several therapies, mainly with surgical subsicion in order to release the tension on the scar. Since this type is treated with the Dermaroller, subsicion became obsolete and improvement could reach up to 80% provided the procedure was performed by a specialised physician.

But for the ice pick and boxcar types so far the only effective therapy was surgical removal. Since we have developed a new procedure technique combined with a special tooled needle to treat these kinds of scars, we are extremely proud to present you our latest results.

We are most grateful and we would like to thank our friend Dr. Igor Safonov from Kiev/Ukraine that he followed our invitation to concentrate on the treatment of ice pick and boxcar scars.
As Pink Floyd said in his song: “Another brick in the wall” (of scar treatment with the Dermaroller).

DERMAROLLER® – A SUCCESS STORY IN UK

SUCCESS surely is a matter of devotion and hard work. The GM of AesthetiCare Ltd., Roger Bloxham, contacted our head-office first time in July 2008. After a personal meeting we agreed to have the first hands-on workshop with several physicians in October in London. We gave a lecture to explain the mechanism of action how to induce new body own collagen, and our Vice President Michael guided the hands of the skin care professionals over wrinkles, scars and acne scars and explained the little handling tricks how to achieve the best possible results. The professionals were impressed by the Dermaroller performance and hurried to spread the news to their patients, not only in Harley Street, but all over UK.

Since this initial experience in October it seems to us that Roger worked tirelessly, at least 25 hours a day. All over England he convinced physicians to use the Genuine Dermaroller Concept and organised workshops. Today, after only 4 months of intensive devotion over 40 clinics offer the genuine performance of the Dermaroller-Concept. Since then, so we were informed, many clinics abandoned their fractional lasers and switched to the new Concept in skin treatment. See it yourself and go to:

Thank you Roger, it is an honour for us to work with you – a real great job you did.

Dermaroller comes to Beirut

Next day my plane took me straight to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, so beautifully located at the East of the Mediterranean Sea. I followed an invitation of Dr. Rahbani to introduce the Dermaroller Concept to the successors of the old Phoenicians. One of the oldest trading nations that ruled the Seas long before the Romans came to their place – and ruined it.

The person that bought the land in front of the new Mosque had bad luck. Once they started digging, ancient ruins showed up

Once you enter the ancient city you really don’t know if you are in Paris or in the ancient oriental world. Here you can see what seems somehow impossible: A mosque next to a Roman Catholic or an Orthodox church. Many religions lived here since hundreds of years peacefully shoulder to shoulder.

Two religions side by side

Efforts are tremendous to rebuild the war torn city that was destroyed in the last decades by stupid wars. Once Beirut was called the Paris of the East and the government does everything possible to regain that image. But still there are many ruins in the middle of the town that await restoration.
Inside an Orthodox Church

But the people of Lebanon have not really changed since I saw them first so many years ago. As they are traders and merchants since thousands of years they have developed two significant skills: languages and the charm you need to convince your partner that your trading good is the best. Their school system is one of the best you can find in the world and more or less everybody, at least with high school education, speaks 3 languages fluently: Arab, French, English and often some more languages.

Mrs. Nada, one of our trained nurses at work

The Lebanese kitchen is definitely the best in the Orient and the shops are as elegant as in Paris or New York. The climate is moderate. In springtime you swim in the Mediterranean Sea, and only an hours drive takes you up into the snow of the Lebanon Mountains – a Pearl of Culture, impossible to find a second time in this world.

Beirut invites you to enjoy life!

Good luck Lebanon – you deserve peace and tranquillity.

Dermaroller in Kuwait

Have you ever been In Kuwait? It is unlikely, but we have been called to that oil rich desert place north of the Arabian Gulf to introduce the Dermaroller to give lectures and do hands-on training with the local medical society that is mainly influenced by Egyptian physicians.

Ultra modern architecure

Kuwait is a relatively small but extremely oil-rich country. In some areas the oil can be collected from the surface. It has about 2.5 million inhabitants, 80% of them are foreigners. It is an old trading settlement dating back several thousands of years.

Sunset at Kuwait Corniche

The attendance with over 70 physicians clearly demonstrated the huge interest in the Dermaroller therapy for scars and photo-damaged skin and pigmentation problems. The workshop was followed by many questions and discussions and later on by a typical Arabian dinner one only can expect in this region of the world.
A happy auditorium

I would like to thank Dr. Ayam Said for his efforts in setting up this workshop on a very short notice.

The workshop ended after midnight.

We would like to thank the Kuwaitian Ministry of Health for its support and interest in the new Dermaroller Therapy in Micro-Needling. Again I enjoyed the unforgettable Arabian hospitality one only can find at the place of origin.

From Dermaroller to Hedgehog

As more and more of our species are distinguished from this planet

Germany has declared the Year 2009 as the year of the hedgehog.

An amazing story from Oslo

Dear Dermaroller-Friends,

A few more days and the year 2008 comes to an end. But before it runs out we want you to share with us some results of our Dermaroller workshop in Oslo/Norway.

It is understandable that patients and even many physicians are skeptical when they are told that the Dermaroller can significantly improve their scars. “Such a little instrument can improve acne scars?” they say. “I tried everything and of all therapies such a micro-needle device should change my scars to the better”?

We often heard this question and all we could do, was to smile and tell the patient to be treated and to wait four or five weeks.

Therefore, before the Christmas Season starts, we would like to take the opportunity, to thank all our supporters, patients, physicians, scientists, nurses and the endless number of helpers. For lectures and workshops we traveled this year to China, Israel, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Unites States, Norway, Ukraine and other countries I can’t remember while editing this Blog.

The EADV Congress in Paris was a huge success. In Germany we built a new manufacturing site and had it certified according to ISO 13485. And still there is so much work ahead.

Thank you all for supporting the DERMAROLLER CONCEPT.

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful 2009.

Very truly yours,

Michael Tomerius, Vice President
Horst Liebl, President
Dermaroller S.a.r.l.

Dermaroller Workshop in Oslo

When we agreed with Ingelin Harlem, the Director of Cosmederm, to come for a two-day workshop to the Norwegian capital Oslo, I asked her to make sure that there are enough patients with different indications such as scars, pigment problems, etc. as well as enough physicians and nurses. After we arrived at her clinic at 4 pm even the huge room was packed with people and we hardly could find a spare chair. Ingelin really took our request for enough workshop participants literally.

After the one-hour lecture, in which we explained the mechanism of microneedling with the Dermaroller, everybody wanted to be the first, patients as well as trainees. Three cosmetic couches were lined up and everything was well prepared. The first demo-patient with scars was selected, the face properly cleaned. Then the skin was numbed with a new Numbing Cream LMX4 from Ferndale Ltd. that had just arrived in time by a courier from London. As an effective skin numbing is an important issue in microneedling, we were keen how good the LMX4 would perform.  And to be honest, this cream exceeded all our expectations. Not only was it superior to all the numbing creams on the market, but it also worked faster (in 20 minutes only) and numbed very efficient. At this point I would like to thank Roger Bloxham for his generosity by supplying the LMX4 free of charge.

Then Michael started his demonstration and explained what Dermaroller should be used on acne scars and how the treatment has to be performed. As expected the space he had was much to small and physicians and nurses craned their necks. After half of the face was done, Michael handed over the Dermaroller to the physician next to him and guided his hand carefully.

In the meanwhile Ingelin took several pictures of each patient and her assistances prepared the next patients. After the numbing cream was applied they lied down on the couches and waited impatiently to be treated.

Now the physicians and nurses started Dermarolling under my and Michael’s supervision. Although the procedure looks very easy at the first glance, many little points and small tricks have to be regarded such as how to guide the device, pressure, rolling angle, intensity and so on.
Usually a facial treatment takes about 25 minutes in average, in training about double the time is required for the trainee. But as we say, routine makes the master.

We hardly could remember the number of patients we treated and professionals we have trained the first day when we left the clinic at 10 at night with rumbling stomachs. We had a good Guinness or two and looked forward to the next day.

About 28 patients were treated and we only saw happy faces, these of the patients and those of the professionals that had learned a new lesson.

Thank you Ingelin, you have done a very good job and you are a fantastic organiser.
Your Dermaroller Team.
