Post-Treatment Care: Disinfect the Derma Roller: Clean the derma roller with the alcohol solution again and store it in a clean, dry place.
Frequency of Use: Start with once a week and gradually increase to 2-3 times a week as your scalp gets accustomed to the treatment. Avoid overuse as it can lead to irritation or damage.
Benefits of Using a Derma Roller
Improves Blood Circulation: The micro-injuries created by the derma roller stimulate blood flow to the scalp, ensuring that hair follicles receive more nutrients and oxygen.
Enhances Absorption of Treatments: Increases the effectiveness of topical treatments by allowing deeper penetration of active ingredients.
Stimulates Hair Growth: Promotes the activation of dormant hair follicles, potentially increasing hair density and thickness.
Collagen Production: The micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen, which strengthens the hair follicles and improves scalp health.
