DERMA ROLLER

A derma roller is a handheld device with tiny, fine needles used for microneedling, which can stimulate hair growth when applied to the scalp. Here’s how it works and its benefits:

How It Works
1. Microneedling: The derma roller creates small punctures in the scalp. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and the production of collagen and keratin both essential for hair health.

2. Enhanced Absorption: It improves the scalp’s absorption of hair growth products, like serums or oils, making them more effective.

Benefits for Hair Growth
• Stimulates Hair Follicles: Encourages dormant hair follicles to grow.
• Increases Blood Circulation: Delivers more nutrients and oxygen to the hair roots.
• Improves Scalp Health: Can reduce issues like dandruff or dry scalp over time.

How to Use a Derma Roller for Hair

1. Choose the Right Needle Size: For the scalp, the 1.5mm needle is typically recommended.
2. Clean the Roller: Sterilize the roller with rubbing alcohol (spirit) before and after use.
3. Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections for better access to the scalp.
4. Roll Gently: Roll the derma roller over the scalp in multiple directions (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) for about 10 minutes. Avoid pressing too hard.
5. Apply Hair Growth Products: Use products like the Edges Regrow creme and the Hair and scalp Ayurvedic oil that contain active ingredients like peppermint oil, or Rosemary oil afterward for better absorption.
6. Clean Again: Clean the roller and store it safely.

Precautions
• Avoid using on irritated or infected scalps.
• Don’t share your derma roller to prevent infections.
• Use it 1-2 times a week to avoid overuse, which could damage the scalp.

Who Should Use It?

Derma rollers are suitable for people experiencing hair thinning, receding hairlines, or even those wanting to boost scalp health. However, it may not be effective for people with complete baldness due to inactive hair follicles.
