How to Achieve Precision in Microneedling: XCellaris Pro Twist

A New Generation of Microneedling. The XCellaris Pro Twist is an advanced microneedling device invented by Dermaroller, the original pioneers who commercialized the first derma roller in 2000. Launched in 2022, this German-engineered device offers unique technological benefits that deliver a clean, precise wound to the skin, maximizing fibroblast activity and collagen production while minimizing patient discomfort. Key Technological Advantages. Speed and Efficiency: Operating at adjustable speeds between 50 Hz and 150 Hz, the XCellaris Pro Twist is one of the fastest devices on the market. At top speed, its 6-needle cartridge creates up to 900 micro-channels per second (2,700 channels in just three seconds per square centimeter)., Innovative 6-Needle Architecture: Unlike devices that use 12 or 16 needles, the 6 needles are spaced widely apart. This prevents the "fakir effect" (where dense needles distribute weight and resist skin entry, causing surface scratching and micro-tearing) and ensures a clean, effortless insertion., Active Needle Retrieval: A direct motor connection drives the needles into and out of the skin at the exact same rate, ensuring a precise trauma without tearing the tissue., Ergonomic & Hygienic Design: The handpiece's shape naturally forces the practitioner to hold it at an optimal 90-degree angle. It operates via direct continuous power (no batteries) for consistent speed and includes a foot pedal for hands-free, sterile operation. Targeted Treatments and Adjustable Depths. The device allows practitioners to adjust needle depths from 0 mm up to 2.5 mm to address various clinical indications:. 0.25 mm – 0.5 mm: Targets melanocytes for hyperpigmentation and surface melasma., 0.5 mm – 1.0 mm: Ideal for mild rejuvenation (wrinkles, fine lines) and stimulating hair follicles for hair loss or thinning., 1.0 mm – 1.5 mm: Reaches the deeper dermal layer to increase fibroblast activity for acne scarring (rolling, ice pick, or box scars)., 2.5 mm: Utilized at top speed for intensive collagen production to treat medical scars and striae (stretch marks).
