Dermaroller Uses
What is Dermaroller?
The Dermaroller is a cylinder-shaped instrument consisting of small needles. The needles are gently inserted and removed from the skin, creating micro punctures in the skin. These punctures trigger the skin’s self-renewal mechanism, increasing collagen production and promoting hair growth.
The main purpose of the dermaroller is to keep the skin young and healthy by increasing collagen production in the skin. In addition, dermaroller is also used for hair growth. Thanks to the micro holes it makes in the skin, it allows more blood and oxygen to reach the hair follicles. It encourages hair growth and makes hair thicker and healthier.
Does Dermaroller Help Hair Growth?
Dermaroller application is a micro-needling procedure performed to stimulate hair growth in addition to topical medications such as minoxidil used in the treatment of baldness. It is aimed to increase the effectiveness of drug treatment by supporting it with micro-needling.
The mechanism by which the dermaroller is thought to stimulate hair growth is that the micro-perforations in the skin deliver more blood and oxygen to the hair follicles, allowing them to be better nourished. In this case, hair grows faster. However, the effects of this method may vary from person to person and the same results cannot be guaranteed for everyone.
How to Choose the Right Dermaroller for Hair Growth?
Choosing the right dermaroller is important to stimulate hair growth. Here are some factors you should consider to choose the right dermaroller:
- Needle Length:
Dermaroller needle length varies depending on the condition of the scalp. Generally, a needle length between 0.5mm to 1.5mm is preferred to stimulate hair growth.
- Number of Needles:
The number of needles on the dermaroller is also important. The more needles, the more effective the treatment. Generally, dermarollers ranging from 200 to 540 needles are preferred.
- Quality:
The quality of the dermaroller is also important. A quality dermaroller allows you to achieve more effective results and reduces the risk of damaging your skin. It is important to choose a reliable brand approved by the Ministry of Health.
Preparing the Scalp for Dermaroller Application

- Cleansing Solution:
