What is an Environ Gold Roller tool?
The Environ Gold Roll-CIT is Environ’s unique approach to the longtime skincare practice of micro-needling, which consists of a minimally invasive, DIY procedure where you gently insert super fine needles into your skin, sort of like acupuncture but for your face. This stimulates your skin’s natural healing processes without damaging the epidermis, increasing collagen production, and renewing the skin's tone and texture. The Environ Gold Roller instrument is special because it's made with extremely high-grade surgical steel, and plated with 14ct gold, which does more than look fancy on your shelf!
How does the Environ Gold Roller work?
This Environ skincare tool creates tiny micro-channels in the skin’s top layer using 260 ultra-fine needles, which gently trigger the skin’s natural reconstruction and rejuvenation processes while allowing topical products to penetrate more deeply. The Environ Gold Roller is one of the best facial rollers for skincare absorption, and those micro-channels you created with it help your serums and creams (especially vitamin A and antioxidants) absorb more effectively, boosting their benefits. At the same time, the controlled micro-injuries trigger a mild healing response that can support collagen and elastin production, improve texture, and enhance firmness over time.
What does gold do for your skin?
You may not have known, but for a long time now gold has been considered to be amazing for your skin. Sure, it definitely helps give a product that luxury aesthetic, but beyond that it provides several real benefits for your skin.
Firstly, it has antioxidative properties that protect the skin from age-accelerating free radicals. It also enhances the skin’s natural glow, helping to stimulate blood flow beneath the surface. Furthermore, gold is naturally antibacterial, which helps keep the skin and the tool itself more hygienic during use, an especially important benefit when microneedling is involved. It has also been shown to help calm inflammation and support skin repair, making it well suited for improving overall skin texture and resilience when used correctly.
How do I use an Environ Gold Roller instrument?
Break the treatment area into manageable parts: forehead, nose, cheeks, the area around your lips, both sides of the neck, plus the chest (décolleté) and the backs of your hands. These often-overlooked zones matter too.
Start wth the forehead. Glide your chosen roller in an up-and-down motion, covering the entire forehead and brow area. Aim to roll over each spot about two to five times. Once you've finished rolling vertically, repeat the process diagonally and then horizontally, keeping a steady and even pressure. The goal is to cover each section thoroughly with the Environ Gold Roller instrument. Move through each part of the face, neck, and chest using this same rolling pattern until everything is treated evenly. Usually, three to five minutes is enough for the face and neck, depending on how quickly you roll.
And when you're working around the eyes, be extra gentle. You can treat the eyelids, but don’t roll directly on the soft skin under the eyebrow unless you lift it up and place it over the bone. Always handle this area with extra care.
Does micro-needling improve collagen production at home?
The micro-injuries caused by micro-needling signal your body to start the aforementioned healing process, which includes producing new collagen to repair the skin. Although the needles in home devices are shorter and don’t reach the deeper layers like professional, more-invasive treatments do, they still trigger a mild but consistent collagen response.
How often should I use the Environ Gold Roller tool?
It's recommended to start with twice weekly usage, preferably in the evenings so your skin can recover from the process while you sleep. Ideally, you’ll stick to this for a few weeks as you slowly work your way up to daily usage.
How do I clean and maintain the Environ Gold Roller?
For best results, you should clean the Environ Gold Roller with the patented Environ Instrument Cleaning Solution, specifically formulated to keep your Environ tools sterile and working as intended for years to come. Once a week, allow your tool to soak in the solution for 10 to 15 minutes (leaving it soaking overnight could potentially ruin your tool). Afterwards, simply rinse it with warm water and enjoy the continued benefits of Environ skincare tools. Ensure that whenever you use it, you’re always rinsing it off with warm water before putting it back in its air-tight casing.
