It may look like a medieval torture device, but many people – including celebrities – are fans of the derma roller. Commonly used to improve the appearance of skin, this device shows promise as a hair loss treatment too. In fact, a 2013 study showed excellent hair regrowth in those treated. So does it work? Read on to find out whether using a derma roller for hair loss is a good idea or whether it’s just a painful fad.
What is a derma roller?
A derma roller is a handheld device with many small surgical needles. These needles are attached to a wheel which, when rolled over the skin, cause microscopic wounds.
These wounds activate the body’s healing response (hemostasis-inflammation-proliferation-tissue remodeling). The idea is that the various growth factors involved in this process mean the newly healed skin is better than before.
Practitioners take advantage of this wound healing response, using derma rollers to treat stretch marks, wrinkles, scars, and similar conditions. Apparently, Kim Kardashian is a fan.
Derma rollers come in various shapes and sizes. Needles range from 0.25mm – 3mm in length, with different size needles recommended for different skin conditions:
