How to Clean a Derma Roller

The Derma Roller device helps reduce wrinkles, scars, stretch marks and uneven skin. After every use, the Derma Roller accumulates bacteria and dirt from the surface of your skin. If you put the Derma Roller back into the plastic storage container without disinfecting the device, you reduce the quality of the product and set yourself up for a possible skin infection. The Derma Roller comes with a storage container and you must disinfect the container as well.
