How do you use a dermaroller for your scalp and hair growth?

What is a derma roller?

A derma roller, also known as a scalp roller, is a compact and handy device equipped with a roller containing hundreds of microscopic needles. These needles range in length from 0.3 to 1.0 millimetre. When you roll the dermaroller over the skin, the needles make tiny holes in the skin. The holes are so small that the rolling is painless and does not bleed. This process, known as microneedling, is used for various skin problems such as scars, fine lines and hair growth.

How does a derma roller help with hair growth?

The tiny holes made in the scalp by the scalp roller promote the skin's natural healing process. In doing so, the scalp roller stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, important building blocks for healthy skin and hair growth. In addition, a dermaroller improves blood circulation to the hair follicles, allowing more nutrients to reach the hair roots. This can result in thicker and fuller hair.

Haven't used a dermaroller for the scalp before? Then we recommend choosing a scalp roller with needles 0.3 millimetres long. This is because you don't know how your scalp reacts to the dermaroller and this way you avoid serious irritations.

Better absorption of hair growth products

Besides stimulating hair growth, a scalp roller also helps improve the absorption of hair growth products. The small holes in the skin make it easier for active ingredients in hair growth lotions to penetrate deeper into the skin. This allows these products to work more effectively. By combining a scalp roller with a hair growth lotion, you can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment.

How to use a scalp roller correctly?

Using a derma roller correctly is important for best results and to avoid skin irritation. Follow these steps:

Step 1

Disinfect the dermaroller

Disinfect the roller head with rubbing alcohol before each use. Also make sure your hands are clean before you begin. Good hygiene is especially important because the needles create tiny channels in the skin while rolling.

Step 2

Roll gently over the scalp

Place the dermaroller on the area you want to treat. Apply light and controlled pressure. There is no need to press the roller firmly into the scalp.

Step 3

Roll the dermaroller in different directions

First, roll the dermaroller 5 times horizontally from left to right, followed by 5 times vertically from bottom to top over the treatment area. Then roll 5 times diagonally back and forth. Lift the dermaroller off the skin whenever you change direction so that the needles do not twist across the skin.

Step 4

Give your scalp time to recover

Finished rolling? Give your scalp some time to calm down. We recommend waiting approximately 12 hours before applying a lotion or serum.

Step 5

Disinfect the dermaroller again

Disinfect the roller head after each use as well. Allow it to dry thoroughly, then store the dermaroller in a clean and protected place. Never share a dermaroller with anyone else. It is a personal hygiene product.

Is the effect of a derma roller permanent?

If you use a dermaroller to support hair growth, it is best to use it no more than twice a week, with a three-day rest period between treatments. However, the results of using a scalp roller are not permanent. A dermaroller may help slow down hair loss, but it does not completely prevent future balding. Once you stop using the scalp roller, your hair may start to fall out again. In other words, a dermaroller can make your hair appear fuller temporarily, but continued use is needed to maintain the effect.

Summary
Using a dermaroller on the scalp can significantly increase the effectiveness of hair growth lotions by improving the absorption of active ingredients. Micro-needling creates microscopic holes that stimulate the natural healing process and collagen production in the skin. In this guide, you will learn how to safely apply this innovative technique to maximize blood circulation to the hair follicles for fuller results.
