TIMER FEATURE FOR OPTIMAL TREATMENT

 

 

One of the main problems with manual dermaneedling is to figure out how many times 
to roll over the skin for optimum treatment. This involves complex maths because it 

depends on how wide the roller head is, how many needles are in the roller, the 

circumference of the roller head and of course the size of the skin area. 

With the Derminator

®

 2, you only need to tell it the size of the skin area and the 

machine will simply switch off when you’ve treated the skin optimally. As long as you 

keep moving the device over the to be treated skin patch, the device will take care of 
the rest. You can even change pulsing frequency meanwhile. The Derminator

®

 2 knows 

how many pricks need to be made on the skin and when the skin patch has that number 

of pricks, it stops. That’s all there is to it. And when you want to be conservative, you 
just stop sooner. 

This “automatic mode” is done via the “Timer” function. 

Timer mode is entered by pressing the right, blue “Depth” button marked 

[OK] 

when 

the display shows 

“Timer”

. The device then asks whether to use inches or cm: 

Use in

2

 or cm

2

  [in

] [cm

After having selected the appropriate metric (by pressing the corresponding button 
below the text), the skin width and length is entered by pressing the corresponding 

buttons as many times as necessary. The left button increases the Length or Width.

Pressing the left button increases the value. Pressing the right button accept the 
entered value, and the next screen appears:
