The dermaroller is an essential beauty accessory that's rapidly gaining popularity in the hair care market. Discover how this simple and affordable tool promotes hair growth by improving blood circulation, stimulating collagen production, and maintaining healthy hair! We'll tell you all about the benefits of this new beauty ally that will revolutionize your hair.
What is a dermaroller?
This beauty tool consists of a small roller equipped with micro-needles made of titanium or stainless steel, typically measuring 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters. When rolled over the scalp, these micro-needles gently pierce the skin's surface, creating tiny micro-lesions that stimulate the body to produce new cells to repair the damage. The dermaroller offers numerous benefits for the hair:
- Stimulation of blood circulation: this promotes the supply of oxygen and essential nutrients to hair follicles, which can help stimulate hair growth.
- Collagen production: this can help reduce hair loss and improve overall appearance because collagen is an essential protein for the health and strength of the hair fiber.
- Improved cell regeneration process: this helps to strengthen and awaken inactive hair follicles and boost hair density and volume.
- Regulation of sebum production and absorption of skincare products.
How do I choose the right dermaroller?
There are two different types of dermarollers available on the market: those with titanium needles, or those with stainless steel needles. But what is the difference between the two?
Titanium needle dermarollers are renowned for their durability and corrosion resistance, making them very popular. These tools are generally lighter, which facilitates their use.
Dermarollers with stainless steel needles are renowned for their robustness and stability during application, which may be preferred by those seeking a firmer feel when using them.
Regarding needle size, it's important to choose the one that best suits your needs. For hair growth, needle lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters are generally recommended. Shorter needles are often used for facial treatments, while longer needles are reserved for more intensive treatments.

How to use a dermaroller correctly?
It is very important to use this accessory correctly to ensure both effective results and safe application. Discover the precise steps for correct use:
- Make sure your scalp and hair are clean and dry before you begin.
- Disinfect the accessory by soaking it in alcohol for a few minutes. This ensures it is clean and therefore reduces the risk of infection.
- Divide your scalp into sections to make application easier.
- Hold the dermaroller by the handle and place the micro-needles on the scalp. Apply light pressure so that the needles penetrate the skin slightly.
- Roll the accessory in all directions: up and down, left and right and diagonally to ensure you cover the entire area to be treated.
- Repeat this process on each section of your scalp for 5 minutes, 3 times a week.
- Once you have finished, disinfect the dermaroller again by soaking it in alcohol. Store it in a clean and safe place.

Mistakes to avoid when using a dermaroller
When using a dermaroller, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that could compromise the results or cause damage to your scalp.
- Failure to properly disinfect your accessory: Before each use, be sure to disinfect it by soaking it in alcohol. This will reduce the risk of infection or contamination.
- Applying too much pressure: It is important not to apply too much pressure when using the device. The microneedles should penetrate the skin lightly without causing pain or injury. Excessive pressure can cause irritation or skin damage.
- Sharing your dermaroller: This tool should not be shared! If it is used by several people, there is a risk of cross-contamination, including the transmission of bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. It is therefore best to use your own dermaroller and not share it.
- Using a dermaroller with needles that are too long: Choose a dermaroller with needles that are appropriate for your scalp. Needles that are too long can cause pain and irritation.
- Using the dermaroller on irritated or injured skin: Avoid using the dermaroller on irritated or inflamed skin. Wait until the skin has completely healed before resuming use of the dermaroller. This will prevent any worsening of skin problems.
Treatments to combine with the use of a dermaroller
When using a dermaroller to optimize hair growth results, it is recommended to combine this tool with specific hair care products. These products include hair serums rich in plant and essential oils whose benefits for hair growth are scientifically proven.
