Microneedling is a type of cosmetic treatment, it’s also nicknamed skin needling because of its effects on increasing collagen production in the skin.
Microneedling involves the use of a skin roller with small needles that causes minor skin injuries.
Scalp microneedling is a method of treatment for hair loss. There’s even evidence that it can help a special type of hair loss known as alopecia areata.The same process of creating wounds in the skin is also thought to regenerate the health of the hair follicles. It’s thought that this can result in new hair growth, or perhaps, it may thicken thinning hair as seen in androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness.How it works
During microneedling, your healthcare provider uses a roller with needles on it.
The size of the needles can range from less than 1 millimeter to a few millimeters in length. They’re all contained in a handheld device. Also called a roller, the device is rolled along the treatment area, creating small injuries.
Microneedling may provoke the release of factors that promote hair growth or perhaps directly stimulate hair growth as a result of the small injury caused.Seffects of microneedling on the head
Microneedling itself may cause:
- bruising
- oozing from the wounds
- redness
- swelling
- pain
The area may be red and inflamed for a few days following the procedure , most side effects diminish within 5 days after your treatment.
How Often Should You Use a Derma Roller?
The frequency of use depends on the size of the needle we are using and the level of pain tolerance that you can handle. However, using a derma roller for hair growth with a needle size of 1.0 – 1.5 millimeters every 4 – 5 weeks will produce the best results. This allows substantial time for the inflammatory and wound-healing molecules to refresh the scalp.
