The DermaRoller is a revolutionary device that treats hair loss using traditional oriental acupuncture techniques to enhance the skins’ natural healing abilities. It promotes circulation of nutrients to the hair follicles, as well as boosts the effectiveness of creams and lotions designed for treating hair loss. It is a very effective method for certain types of patterned hair loss.
The picture below shows a magnified view of the device. The needles are only 1 to 1.5millimetre long so all you feel is a tickling sensation when the DermaRoller is used.
As rolling the DermaRoller across your head, it makes pin point punctures into the dermis – the majority of which is simply pushing your pores open temporarily. Your skin perceives this as damage, which stimulates the release of growth factors that, in turn, trigger the production of collagen and elastin.
At our clinic, the DermaRoller process involves an application of a cocktail of vitamins and hair stimulating adjuncts to support hair regrowth. Today, there are many kinds of rollers on the market with different quality and number of needles. Choosing one that is FDA or CE approval is highly recommended for a faster, safer and more effective result.
The DermaRoller is a treatment for hair loss that gets results for certain patterned hair loss. It is absolutely important that a dermatologist check your condition to see which will be the best treatment for individual patient before beginning. The hair restoration and stimulated re-growth process can help with thinning hair, balding, bald spots, receding hairlines, alopecia and more. Moreover, at our clinic we advise that for prevention of further hair loss one can perform the treatment at least twice a year.
Does it hurt? Does it make you bleed?
At our clinic, we apply topical anaesthesia to make scalp numb and process minimally painful. Using the device gently gives a tickling feeling and is not muc painful.
“DermaRoller doesn’t cause bleeding. You may find a temporary reddening on the skin for an hour or so after treatment and it can give a very mild discomfort for 12-24 hours.
