Chinese Medicine + Modern Skin Care

A good friend of mine just introduced me to Rodan + Fields – the two amazing women behind Proactiv, a product that has helped countless men & women achieve clearer skin, not to mention increased self-confidence!  Now they’ve started a new company (Rodan + Fields) and one of the things that makes them unique is that they are using Chinese Medicine in their modern skin care treatments!  Talk about Integrating Beauty!

Rodan + Fields has started using a special roller as part of their ANTI-AGE AMP MD System.  Here is a video detailing the way their AMP MD Roller works:

The AMP MD Roller is “constructed of surgical-grade stainless steel acupuncture needles to safely and comfortably create precise micro channels in the upper-most layer of the skin.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine this type of a roller was part of a practice known as “skin needling.”  Today these rollers are often called Derma Rollers.

Derma rollers, designed with a hard spiked surface, are used to vigorously roll across the skin to promote the circulation of qi and blood. They are useful in the treatment of qi and blood stagnation and deficiency including muscle spasms, scar therapy, cosmetic acupuncture, hair loss treatment, stretch mark removal and dermatological conditions.
