How do I use Scalp activator/ derma roller?Updated 10 months ago

Using a scalp activator or derma roller can be a highly effective way to stimulate hair growth and improve the efficacy of topical treatments. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it properly:

How to Use a Scalp Activator/Derma Roller

What You’ll Need:

Derma Roller: A device with tiny needles that create micro-injuries on the scalp.

Topical Treatment: Dense Bespoke All-in-One Spray.

Alcohol disinfectant spray: For disinfecting the derma roller.

Clean Towel: For drying your scalp.


Step-by-Step Guide:

Cleanse Your Scalp: Start with clean, dry hair. Wash your scalp thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup using Dense Daily Densify 2in1 Shampoo and Conditioner use the Scalp massage Brush to further cleanse the scalp. Pat your scalp dry with a clean towel.

Disinfect the Derma Roller: Before each use, spray the derma roller in an alcohol solution to disinfect it. This step is crucial to prevent any infections. 

Using the Derma Roller:

Apply Light Pressure: Gently roll the derma roller over your scalp. Use light pressure to avoid any damage to your scalp.

Directions: Roll the device vertically, horizontally, and diagonally across your scalp. Aim for about 4-5 times in each direction. This ensures even coverage and stimulation.

Targeted Areas: Focus on areas where hair thinning or loss is most prominent.

 

Apply Topical Treatment:

After rolling, apply your Dense Bespoke All-in-One Spray or any other recommended topical treatment. The micro-channels created by the derma roller enhance the absorption of the active ingredients, making the treatment more effective.

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.

By following these steps, you can effectively use a scalp activator or derma roller to boost your hair growth regimen, particularly when combined with Dense’s range of hair growth treatments. Regular and proper use can lead to noticeable improvements in hair density and overall scalp health.
