How Will the Scalp Activator / Derma Roller Help with Hair Growth?
The Scalp Activator or Derma Roller promotes hair growth through several scientifically supported mechanisms. Here’s how it works:
Micro-Needling
Fact: The tiny needles create micro-injuries on the scalp, stimulating the skin's natural healing process.
Scientific Basis: This boosts collagen production and activates hair follicles. A study in the International Journal of Trichology found significant hair regrowth in patients using micro-needling combined with minoxidil compared to minoxidil alone. The micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and other growth factors that benefit hair follicles, promoting thicker and healthier hair.
Enhanced Absorption of Topical Treatments
Fact: Micro-needling increases the absorption of topical treatments like minoxidil.
Scientific Basis: Improved absorption allows more active ingredients to reach the hair follicles, enhancing their effectiveness. Research in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology indicates that derma rolling increases the effectiveness of topical applications by allowing deeper delivery of active ingredients. This ensures that the treatments penetrate the scalp more effectively, providing maximum benefits.
Increased Blood Circulation
Fact: The micro-needling process improves blood flow to the scalp.
Scientific Basis: Better circulation delivers more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. Studies have shown that improved blood flow is linked to healthier hair growth and a prolonged anagen (growth) phase. Enhanced circulation ensures that hair follicles receive the necessary nutrients to thrive, supporting sustained hair growth.
How to Use the Scalp Activator / Derma Roller for Best Results
Frequency
- Use 1-2 Times Per Week: Regular but not excessive use is key to avoiding scalp irritation while promoting optimal benefits.
Technique
- Gently Roll Over the Scalp: Move the derma roller in different directions to cover the entire scalp. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent damage to the skin.
Product Synergy
- Combine with DENSE Topical Treatments: To maximise results, use the derma roller in conjunction with DENSE topical treatments. The micro-channels created by the roller allow active ingredients to penetrate more deeply, boosting their impact on hair growth.
By following these steps and understanding the scientific principles behind micro-needling, you can effectively use the Scalp Activator or Derma Roller to promote hair growth. This tool helps create a favourable environment for hair regrowth through improved absorption of treatments, increased blood flow, and the activation of hair follicles.
