What is micro-needling, and how does it work?
Micro needling (also known as derma rolling or hair needling) is a hair loss treatment that involves using a derma roller with small needles that causes minor skin injury. It essentially works as an effective and robust hair follicle stimulator.
When using a dermaroller and minoxidil, which is a topical solution for hair loss, there is a stronger positive effect on hair growth.[1] Abrasions caused by derma rolling scalps allow the topical solution to absorb the scalp more readily.
Micro needling requires several sessions for it to be successful. Thus, you should be patient in waiting for the results.
At-home methods are also available, but they pose some risks and require considerable preparation. You need to consider the size of the needle you plan to use, the amount of pressure used, and whether the procedure will be effective for your specific case. Be sure you have consulted a doctor if you are considering a micro needling process for hair thinning.
How does micro-needling help with hair loss?
There are many benefits of derma roller for hair growth treatment. It boosts collagen production in your scalp, resulting in stronger and thicker hair. Understanding why stronger, thicker hair is needed for both hair health and as a solution for preventing hair loss is important. Thus, we detail parts of the hair growth cycle and how micro-needling for hair loss helps:
- Anagen phase of hair growth. In this hair cycle, hair cells divide rapidly and result in new hair growth. Using a derma roller allows hair to grow back stronger, preventing it from falling off the follicle.
- Telogen phase of hair growth. During this phase, your hair begins to fall. The derma roller prevents your hair from becoming nutrient deficient and weak since your scalp will absorb more nutrients and stop your hair from shedding. As a result, you can control your hair loss to the extent that you are not losing more than 50 to 100 strands of hair per day.[2]
What are the benefits of micro-needling?
Derma rollers can stimulate your scalp and increase the blood flow to your scalp, which helps with hair regrowth. Increased blood flow to the scalp means that the derma roller benefits your hair growth by essentially providing your hair follicles with an oxygen-rich nutrient supply so that these strands grow more robust and thicker.
Another way a derma roller promotes hair growth is by stimulating collagen production. Collagen prevents hair thinning and supports new hair growth in the anagen phase of hair growth. It thickens the hair follicles and ensures that your new hair grows strong.
