Five Common Questions About Derma Rolling
Feb
Derma rollers are for those who don’t like to mess around with hair loss. They’re for the people who want their hair looking its best, and they want it now! If the thought of rolling hundreds of tiny needles over your skin freaks you out, don’t worry, we are here to help. When done properly, derma rolling is a very safe, painless and effective addition to your hair care routine. In this blog, we answer five of the most asked questions when it comes to derma rolling.
1. What is a derma roller?
A derma roller is a tool studded with hundreds of extremely fine micro-needles that rolls gently over the skin’s surface making tiny little pricks on the skin (the process is also known as Micro-needling). Throughout the years derma rollers have been used for everything from helping to reduce scarring, increasing the absorption of medical treatments into the skin to stimulating hair growth. The Regrow Derma Roller is a high-quality, sleek Black or Rose- Gold design with 540 x 0.3mm Titanium Needles (it’s the best of the best).
2. How does derma rolling work?
There are a couple of ways a Derma Rolling works on the skin. Firstly, by penetrating the skin’s surface it assists haircare or skincare products to sink into the skin deeper. Secondly, the micro-needles gentling pierce the epidermal layers which trigger the skin to produce more collagen and blood flow.
3. Does derma rolling hurt?
Due to the extremely small size of the needles, derma rollers cause minimum skin damage or pain. We recommend to avoid using a derma roller if your skin is infected, irritated, has dermatitis or if the skin is broken.
4. How does derma rolling help with hair loss?
Clinical studies show that derma rollers can aid in thickening hair, and when combined with hair loss treatment, they can be even more effective than when used on their own.
By piercing the scalp, the derma roller helps products like Regrow Hair Tonic (aka The Magic) to penetrate the scalp deeper, getting right up to the roots of your hair follicles. Regrow Hair Tonic uses high-quality natural DHT blockers (DHT shrinks hair follicles which causes hair loss), Saw Palmetto and Caffeine, along with growth stimulants Niacin and Biotin in high purity. These unique blends of ingredients alone work together to stop hair loss, hair thinning and scalp issues but add in a derma roller to your hair care routine and it increases the absorption and effectiveness.
Derma rolling also helps to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin and increases blood flow to the skin’s surface. Both collagen and blood flow provides hair with the nutrients it needs to grow. Collagen is responsible for supplying the hair amino acids (that it needs to grow), helping to prevent damage to hair follicles and assisting to prevent hair from thinning. The bottom line: collagen has many uses and is amazing!
Everybody is different but you should start to see results within 3 – 6 months of using a derma roller.
5. How to use a derma roller
Firstly, wash and condition your hair with Regrow Shampoo and Conditioner. Use medical alcohol to disinfect the roller before and after use (no, beer and wine won’t work). Then spray Regrow Hair Tonic as per instructions to a clean scalp (wet or dry).
Roll the derma roller back and forth 4-5 times in a horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction (you may sing your favourite song while doing this… or not). Maintain a pressure that feels comfortable (too soft it won’t work, too hard and you might spring a leak).
For best results, use a derma roller 2-3 times per week.
It’s important to know, don’t share your roller (this is an exclusive relationship), and if your skin becomes inflamed, discontinue using.
“For best results, use your derma roller in conjunction with Regrow Hair Tonic.”
