Face Rollers, Gua Sha & Ice Rollers

Choose the right dermaroller, face roller or gua sha tool

Start with the kind of tool you want to use. Dermarollers and dermastamps have needle heads, while smooth face rollers, gua sha stones and ice rollers offer different ways to enjoy facial massage. These are distinct tool types, so choose the format first, then compare needle specifications, head designs or massage shapes.

Find a format that suits your routine

• Facial dermarollers: The range includes UNIQ models with 540 titanium needles, alongside other needle counts and designs. Some dermarollers have replaceable heads, making the head construction a useful distinction when choosing your tool.
• Wider body rollers and combination sets: Body models include wider heads with 1200 needles for areas such as the stomach and thighs. A 3 in 1 dermaroller set brings together separate eye, face and body heads for shoppers who want those formats in one kit.
• Dermapen or dermastamp: The DRS model has 40 titanium needles at 0.5 mm and uses a stamp format rather than a rolling head. It offers a different design for shoppers comparing needle tools.
• Stone rollers and gua sha sets: Jade and rose quartz options bring a cool, smooth feel to a massage routine. A paired roller and gua sha stone lets you alternate between rolling movements and sweeping strokes without choosing just one tool shape.
• 3D massage rollers: The Carat 3D massage roller is another facial massage option for those who enjoy rolling movements rather than using a flat gua sha stone.
• Ice rollers: Choose an ice roller when a refreshing, cooling sensation is your priority. The range includes a pink UNIQ facial ice roller and an option intended for both facial and body massage.

Compare needle length and head size separately

Facial dermaroller options include 540 needle models with lengths of 0.25, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mm. Needle length is a different specification from needle count or roller width. The 3 in 1 set makes these differences clear: it contains an eye head with 300 needles at 0.2 mm, a face head with 720 needles at 0.5 mm and a body head with 1200 needles at 1.5 mm. These specifications distinguish the tools; they are not interchangeable with smooth massage rollers.

Using a smooth face roller or gua sha stone

The following guide is for smooth massage rollers and gua sha stones, not dermarollers or dermastamps.

1. Prepare your skin: Start with a clean face and apply facial oil to help the tool glide.
2. Use a face roller: Begin at the chin and roll outwards towards the ears. Continue over the cheeks and forehead with upward and outward movements. If your roller has a smaller end, use it for the under eye area.
3. Use a gua sha stone: Hold the stone flat against your skin and sweep upwards.
4. Care for your massage tool: Wipe the roller or stone with a soft, damp cloth after use and dry it thoroughly.
