move the needle

Research suggests that microneedling, through the use of thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin, stimulates your skin's healing process, producing more collagen and elastin that keep your skin firm and smooth. As this can be intimidating to many users, I wanted to create something simple and approachable that recognized the ergonomics of the procedure. The aluminum handle feels nicely balanced in the hand and allows for only the relatively small roller head to be replaced as the needles become less effective. The center axle clear cover was engineered to protect and avoid the needles when being installed.
