Aarex Derma Roller
What Is Derma Roller Hair Regrowth?
Derma rolling is actually a form of microneedling done with a roller. When used on the scalp, it can lead to hair regrowth in spots where hair is thinning or sparse, or even on bald spots. It creates controlled trauma to the skin and uses the skin’s natural responses to stimulate hair growth.
How Hair Regrowth Is Done by Derma Roller?
Derma roller hair regrowth is done by rolling a derma roller across the scalp with a hair stimulating product.
The derma roller for hair is a small tool that features a handle and a drum. The drum is covered with super-thin needles made of titanium or stainless steel. It rotates freely as it’s pressed against the scalp, and the needles puncture the skin in countless tiny dots.
These punctures do 3 things.
As the microchannels are made and the surface of the skin is broken, the product (AAREX FABULOUS HAIR OIL) applied onto the scalp gets absorbed into the skin much deeper than with topical application, so its efficiency is increased.
The needles come into contact with the hair follicles inside the skin, activating the stem cells in the hair bulb, essentially waking them up and getting them to start growing again. The roots of the hair follicles are stimulated by the trauma, but that’s not all.
As the skin around them heals, the body produces increased amounts of collagen and other growth factors which are built into the hairs. So you get increased hair growth, but the hair that grows out is also thicker and healthier.
The microtraumas stimulate blood flow into the area, and with blood come nutrients that help the hair grow out thicker.
As a result of all these mechanisms, individual hair strands grow out thicker, and the super-thin strands which previously weren’t visible thicken and become noticeable.
What’s a Dermarolling Hair Treatment Like?
Let’s go through each step of the treatment.
Step 1: Sanitize the Derma
Since the needles of the derma roller will be penetrating your skin, they need to be sterile. Clean your derma roller with clean water or dip it in boiling water. Let it dry.
Step 2: Cleaning the Scalp
Since the skin will be broken, your scalp needs to be cleaned of sebum and product residues. You can wash your hair with just shampoo, without applying any products onto it.
Step 3: Microneedling
The area that will be rolled over is covered with AAREX PREMIUM HAIR OIL that stimulate hair regrowth and is safe for microneedling.
The rolling starts. The area should be gone over several times, in different directions.
Note: Pinpoint bleeding and mild to moderate redness are normal and to be expected.
Step 4: Cleaning
The OIL remainders can be absorbed with a clean cloth or paper towel, but you shouldn’t wash your hair for at least 6 hours after microneedling. It would be ideal to wait 24 hours, to make sure the microchannels have closed up completely.
Is there any aftercare?
After a derma rolling session, the area can be sensitive and prone to infection, so it’s best to do the following for 24 hours:
Don’t put ice or any cold compress onto the area.
Don’t pick at, scratch, or rub the area.
Don’t touch the area with unclean fingers or any other unsterile surface for as long as possible to prevent infection.
Don’t wash your hair for at least 6 hours, ideally wait a full day.
For at least 24 hours, try to avoid sweating, so no working out, no hot showers, saunas or steam baths. Sweat and steam can irritate the area.
If you don’t have hair to cover your scalp, wear SPF on your head.
How Fast Can I Expect the Results?
It will take 1-2 months of consistent derma rolling to notice a difference.
Note: If you want rapid growth of hair. Dermarollers having 1.5mm or 2.0mm needles are more effective as compare to dermarollers with 0.5mm needles.
How Often Should I Repeat Derma Roller Hair Regrowth Sessions?
Derma rollers which are used in homes are of 1.5 mm needles, you should start slow nevertheless. Dermatologists advise starting with once every week, to see how your scalp reacts, and if there are no complications, switch to twice or thrice a week.
The best practice is to consult a dermatologist and have them determine how often to use the dermaroller for hair because everyone has different type of skin.
Note:
If you have longer hair and you are doing derma roller hair regrowth, it might be a good idea to do it on wet hair. Dry hair can get tangled in the roller.
