Speck Design collaborated with Rodan Fields to develop an innovative Micro-Exfoliating Roller. The project focused on combining micro-needling with micro-current technology, adhering to FDA regulations, and delivering an unparalleled user experience in skincare.
The design strategy phase for the Micro-Exfoliating Roller was anchored in a comprehensive understanding of FDA guidelines and consumer expectations in the skincare market. We initiated the project by mapping out the potential electrical system architecture and exploring various aesthetic and ergonomic concepts. This phase involved rigorous analysis to ensure that the roller’s design was not only innovative in terms of technology but also appealing and comfortable for the user. Our team utilized hand sketches and 3D CAD renderings to visualize and refine different design directions, facilitating a collaborative decision-making process with Rodan Fields. The goal was to create a product that stood out in the market for its functionality, design, and compliance with medical device standards.
The industrial design phase for the Micro-Exfoliating Roller centered around creating a product that was not only effective in delivering skincare treatment but also visually appealing and comfortable to use. Our team delved into various form explorations, considering factors such as needle placement and the overall tactile experience. The design needed to cater to the nuanced requirements of skin exfoliation while ensuring ease of use for the consumer. We meticulously crafted each aspect of the roller's design, from its contours to its texture, focusing on creating an experience that resonated with the high standards of Rodan Fields’ clientele. The resulting design was a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics, contributing to the product's success in the skincare market.
The first part of the concept exploration involved the team gathering a deep understanding of FDA and customer constraints. After developing potential electrical system architecture and schematics, the exploration turned to preliminary aesthetic and ergonomic concept development. Through visualization with hand sketches and 3D CAD renderings, the team was able to flush out various forms and supporting analysis of various design directions for the client to consider
