Did you know that it was South Africa’s very own Dr. Des Fernandes who first pioneered Micro-Needling more than 20 years ago?
In 1997, Dr. Fernandes – founder and scientific director of Environ – introduced his own needling device which consisted of a small needle stamp (this went on to become Environ’s very first derma roller called Cosmetic Focus-CIT).
Dr. Fernandes skin-needling techniques eventually became internationally recognised as the safest and most effective treatment for sagging skin, wrinkles, scars and stretch marks.
What are the Benefits of Micro-Needling?
Micro-needling works to improve the texture of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. It also creates micro-channels into the skin, so the treatment products you after are able to penetrate the skin far more effectively.
But not all Micro-Needling instruments are created equally!
The Environ Gold Roll-CIT is 14ct gold plated and meticulously designed to be safe on the skin, durable and easy-to-use and clean. The individually sharpened 0.2mm needles are painless when rolled over the skin.
How to use the Gold Roll-CIT:
Ensure skin is clean and free of any product.
Using mild pressure, roll in a star pattern on the forehead & upper eyelids area for 1 minute.
Next, roll in an X motion on each cheek, using gentle pressure for 1 minute.
Work your way down to the neck & décolletage area and roll in an X motion on either side for 1 minute.
All in all, you should use the Gold Roll-CIT for 5 minutes – 1 x minute on your forehead, 1 minute on your left cheek, 1 minute on your right cheek, 1 minute on the left side of neck & décolletage, and 1 minute on the right side of the neck & décolletage.
Rinse your Gold Roll-CIT under hot running water after each use, allowing it to dry on the stand, then store in the product packaging. Once a week, use Environ’s Instrument Cleaning Solution to effectively cleanse your Roll-CIT. Soak the instrument in the solution for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
After needling, I use the Environ Youth+ Avance Elixir that reduces oxidative stress & help even skin tone. It also has 3 peptides complexes that improve skin structure.
Next, I apply the Environ Youth+ 3DSynergé Filler Cream that improves all signs of ageing & sun damage.
The Environ Gold Roll-CIT can also be used on the body to help with the appearance of scars or on sun damaged areas.
For optimal results, use the Environ Body EssentaiA Derma-Lac Lotion and Body Oil after.
Derma-Lac Lotion is a multi-use exfoliating lotion that uses Alpha Hydroxy Acids to treat rough, dry and sun damaged skin. The Body Oil contains vitamins A, E and C that nourish, normalise, brighten and provide antioxidant benefits.

The great thing about needling is that you see a visible improvement in the area being treated very quickly. The reason for this is that the treatments products you use after needling can penetrate far deeper because the needling creates micr pathways deep into the dermis. Needling also helps a LOT with forming the skin. I’m such a fan.
