The dermaroller is an essential beauty accessory that is 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 hair health! We tell you everything about the benefits of this new beauty ally which will revolutionize your hair.

What is a dermaroller?

This beauty accessory consists of a small roller, fitted with titanium or stainless steel micro-needles generally measuring 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters. By rolling it over the scalp, these microneedles lightly puncture the surface of the skin which creates tiny micro-lesions and prompts the body to produce new cells to repair this damage. The dermaroller has many benefits for the hair:

1. Stimulation of blood circulation: This promotes the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the hair follicles, which can help stimulate hair growth.
2. Collagen production: This can help reduce hair loss and improve its overall appearance as collagen is an essential protein for the health and strength of the hair fiber.
3. Improved cell regeneration process: this helps to strengthen and awaken inactive hair follicles and boost the density and volume of the hair.
4. Regulation of sebum production and absorption of treatments.

How to choose the right dermaroller?

There are two different types of dermarollers available on the market: those with titanium needles, or those with stainless steel. But what is the difference between the two?

Titanium needle dermarollers are known for their durability and corrosion resistance, making them very popular. These accessories are generally lighter, which makes them easier to use.

Dermarollers with stainless steel needles are renowned for their sturdiness and stability during application, which may be favored by those looking for a firmer feel when using them.

When it comes to needle size, it is important to choose the one that will best suit 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.

Mistakes not to make 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.

1. Not properly disinfecting your accessory: Before each use, be sure to disinfect it by soaking it in alcohol. This will reduce the risk of infection or contamination.
2. Press too hard: It is important not to press too hard when using it. The microneedles should penetrate the skin lightly without causing pain or injury. Excessive pressure may cause skin irritation or damage.
3. Lend your dermaroller: This accessory cannot be shared! If used by multiple people, there is a risk of cross-contamination, including transmission of bacteria, fungi or other pathogens. It is therefore better to use a personal dermaroller and not share it.
4. Using a dermaroller with needles that are too long: Choose a dermaroller with needles adapted to your scalp. Needles that are too long can cause pain and irritation.
5. 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 help 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 accessory with specific hair care products. Among these treatments, we find hair serums rich in vegetable oils and essential oils whose benefits on hair growth are scientifically proven.

The Aromas Cosmétiques 3% extrem growth serum boosts hair growth by stimulating the cuticles and strengthening the hair follicles. After regular use, hair is revitalized and regains density and length. To use it optimally, apply a few drops to the scalp after using the dermaroller and massage gently. Leave on for at least 4 hours, then wash. For optimal results, use this serum once or twice a week as a treatment.
