Why Stainless Steel

WHY STAINLESS STEEL

 

Stainless steel is an alloy made from iron and chromium. By its very nature, stainless steel is resistant to tarnishing, corrosion and rust thus making it a popular choice among acupuncturist, tattoo artist and for making surgical instruments. This fact holds true for derma roller needles as well.

Here are some benefits of stainless steel you should consider when looking to buy a derma roller:

• It is very hygienic

When it comes to hygiene, titanium is not sterile by nature which means they can’t be compared to stainless steel in terms of cleanliness. Stainless steel is inherently more sterile and has a very low toxicity levels (almost zero) than titanium therefore a better option since the derma roller micro needles will be penetrating your skin.

• Sharpness and precision

Given the fact that these micro needles are designed to penetrate the skin, you will want them to be extremely sharp. Unfortunately, this is not the case with titanium made derma roller micro needles because titanium is a very hard material which makes them difficult to sharp to precision. This poor level of sharpness means that titanium micro needles will not penetrate the skin smoothly thus causing more pain and tears in some cases which can result in infections or scarring.

The good news is that with stainless steel micro needles pain, scarring and infections almost never occur because they can be sharpened to extreme precision. The extreme level of sharpness and precision also makes them the better choice for people with sensitive skin types.

• Care and maintenance

Since derma rollers are meant to be used multiple times, cleaning and sterilization is part of the maintenance routine. Stainless steel is inherently clean as such do not demand extensive cleaning or sterilization process. Bear this in mind when you’re considering opting for a derma roller.

• Moderately strong

The tensile strength of stainless steel means they are considerably strong. This is an advantage for a would-be buyer because it means the micro needles will stand the test of time without breaking off or becoming blunt.

There you have it, some benefits of stainless steel that you should consider whenever you are faced with choosing between derma rollers with titanium or stainless-steel needles. From the above facts, it is clear that stainless steel needles are better options when considering what will penetrate your skin.
