Microneedle MTS Skin Roller (0.2mm-2.0 mm)



Microneedle MTS Skin Roller (1.5mm)
The Microneedle Roller uses 200 extremely fine needles, which penetrate the skin just enough to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This leads to the thickening of the skin and smoothing of wrinkles and scars.  The resulting micro-channels that are opened in the skin due to the needle action also help in increasing the absorption of serums and topical creams used in one's daily beauty routine.  This leads to significant improvement in skin penetration and increased overall efficacy of skin care products.  The Roller leaves the epidermal barrier fully intact, and the micro-channels created by the 200 fine needles fully close within just a few hours after initial application. This provides just enough time for new collagen structures to form within the skin's lower layers, but short enough to ensure the patient can quickly resume normal schedules.

Caution: Do not use Microneedle Roller on irritated skin, infected skin, fungal skin infections, active acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, severe solar keratosis, raised moles and/or warts, and/or open wounds or sores. Patients who are not sure about their skin condition should consult a dermatologist before using the Roller.

Step 1- Cleaning + Boosting
  • Clean skin, rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
  • Apply first topical solution (we recommend a I'm Fabulous Serum or I'm Fabulous Vitamin-C serum) to the treatment area.
Step 2- Microneedle Roller
  • Divide the treatment area(s) into sub-divisions, for instance the forehead, nose, cheeks, mouth area, and neck area. Apply Microneedle Roller with the same amount of pressure on the skin throughout. Roll the same areas vertically and horizontally.
Step 3- Active Ingredients Application
  • Once you have completed the treatment on the desired area, apply Active Ingredients, Q10 cream or vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene as recommended by your skin care professional. Allow a few minutes for the applications to be absorbed to firm and tone your skin. The treatment should be repeated between two to seven times a week. The more frequent the treatment, the better the result.
Step 4- Protection
  • Additional Nutrition and moisturizing management is recommended. Preventative sun-screens are also recommended. Should the skin feel sensitive after a treatment, it is advised not to use the instrument again until the skin feels comfortable. The tiny holes, formed from the use of the treatment, in the epidermal layer seal naturally within a day.
Step 5- Cleaning the Microneedle Roller
  • If Using Sterilization Kit- Open the cleaning tray and place the white cleaning pad in the larger half of the tray. Fill the cleaning tray with sterilization solution and roll the roller into the pad with medium pressure. Leave the MTS Roller in the cleaning solution for about 15 to 30 minutes ensure that the roller drum is constantly wet with the cleaning solution. After cleaning, rinse with tap water and return the roller to the protective case and allow it to air dry. Replace the case lid until the next use.
  • Alternative Method- You may use denture tablets (in water) to clean the Microneedle Roller. Denture tables are enzyme cleansers and enzymes take off fat as well as reduce bacteria. While not as effective, you may also use alcohol (isopropyl).

AHA’s loosen the top layer of dead cells a primarily composed of keratin, while on the other hand enzymes dissolve the keratinized layer. 

Papaya and pineapple are great sources of proteolytic (protein dissolving) plant enzymes. This extract is formulated to enhance the enzyme properties of the separate extracts to create the perfect exfoliating and renewing blend.

The protein dissolving enzyme papain can only be found in papayas. Papain is at its highest level just before the papaya ripens, while it is still green. The powerful papain enzyme dissolves dead and damaged skin cells. Papaya is great for blemishes, mature skin, dandruff, large pores, and sun spots. Some research shows that the enzyme papain is useful as an exfoliant where excess keloids have formed during wound healing. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain and alpha hydroxy acids (malic acid & citric acid & tartaric acid & glycolic acid).


Rapid Exfoliation Kit




I'm Fabulous skin care uses the newest techniques and concepts of Rapid Exfoliation and Protein Infusion to not only reverse the signs of aging dramatically, but to almost stop the destruction of good skin cells. This process is exceptional on aging damaged skin as well as acneic skin types. Our secret to this advanced process is to use a very potent blend of preserved botanicals and bio-identical proteins without the help of thickeners or heavy stabilizers. Binding this to a liposomal technique of cellular delivery will not only saturate the skin with the most powerful antioxidants, but it insures the deepest penetration through dead and live layers.

Bio-identical proteins virtually mimic the structure of your skin tissue allowing the skin to thrive due to the increase in cellular metabolism. You will see results after your very first application and unlike other products that create a chemical dependency, your skin will begin to work more efficiently and independently while you begin to uncover new skin growth and reveal the skin. YOUR SKIN IS AN ORGAN. It is self basting from the inside and has a hydration system far more complicated then the biggest and most expensive ECO system in the world! Your skin knows how to hydrate itself.

The protein that your skin secretes is worth millions and can never be massed produced or duplicated or replaced. It can be mimicked though through bio-identical compounding. Your skin knows how to surge an supply of collagen and the secret to stopping the aging process is to fool the skin into secreting an supply of protein by accelerating the New Skin Cell Turnover Rate. Our skin turns over on its own every 27-30 days or so.

The secret to stopping the aging process is to repeat that cycle (the correct way) 1 more time. The secret to reversing the aging process is to repeat the cycle 2 or more times. In TCA peels, anything over 15% is getting too close to the frost line. The trick behind an awesome peel is to FOOL the skin into secreting a ton of natural collagen and elastin to the effected area. All our peels are compounded to reverse the aging process safely.

All our peels have been tested and will blow your mind with the results it will give you! In the selection of ingredients, we merge the best bio-synthesized materials from France, Japan, Switzerland, United States, Germany, Italy, Spain and around the world, aiding them with a large number of natural ingredients and combining with biochemical technologies to deliver outstanding nutrients to the deepest layers of the skin.

All our ingredients are unique and very potent and cannot be compared to any other products made in huge batches and resold for others companies. We try to keep our prices as low as possible for our customers worldwide.

All our anti aging products uses Q10, NeuroPeptide, Collagen, AHA/BHA and all the new trend anti-aging ingredients. Anais skin care should not be mixed or used with other brands.

Why use a chemical peel?


Chemical peels, also known as chemical resurfacing, are chemical treatments to produce an improved appearance of the face. Chemical peels are used for the treatment of photoaging (from sun damage), wrinkles, scarring, acne, pre-cancerous lesions, and discoloration (dyschromia) or uneven skin tone. Chemical peels produce controlled injury to the skin to promote the growth of new skin with an improved appearance.
Many different chemicals are used including glycolic acidtrichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid“Jessners“ solution, and phenol. The different chemicals produce different degrees of injury to the skin. 

There are two layers of the skin. The outer layer is called the epidermis and the inner layer, the dermis. Superficial peels (e.g. glycolic acid) produce very superficial injury, confined to the epidermis. Superficial peels can help improve conditions, such as acne and dyschromia. Deeper peels, (e.g. phenol peels) produce injury within the dermis and can reverse moderate-to-severe photo aging and wrinkles. In general, the deeper peels offer the most dramatic results but require longer recovery periods and carry a higher risk of complications.
Depending on the type of chemical used. It's best not to assume that a low % of acid is less abrasive than a higher percentage. For example: Salicylic Acid 20% is almost as strong as Glycolic 50%. TCA 30% is a completely different peeling agent and can penetrate into the upper layers of the dermis, causing burns if not used properly. 


Applying a chemical peel


Apply a drop of peel solution to a small area of your face. After 30 seconds, rinse liberally with cold water. This technique is called patch testing.
It may sting or have some redness. Excessive stinging or redness may indicate that you need a lower strength peeling acid. Our products are designed for those experienced with skin peeling treatments. If you are unsure of your tolerance level, we recommend using a low strength peel to build tolerance. Only leave it on for 30 seconds the first time.
  1. Wash face with mild cleanser to remove dirt and oil or makeup.
  2. Apply a small amount of peel solution to a gauze pad and apply to face - avoiding eyes, lips, and insides of nostrils (see diagram below for proper technique).
  3. Applying Skin Peel
  4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute (application time may increase with tolerance), rinse face with cold water and use a neutralizing solution, if face continues to sting.
  5. .
  6. Gently pat skin – no rubbing.
  7. Apply moisturizer to nourish new skin. SPF 30 or higher is essential.
