What is Hair Microneedling?
Microneedling is a hair loss treatment that restores volume and vitality to miniaturized hair, and can promote new hair growth. The technique used in this hair treatment uses microneedles that make multiple small punctures in the scalp. The micro channels opened in the epidermis allow the penetration of the active ingredients applied. These, together with the physical stimulation of the pricks, activate hair growth factors, which results in increased hair growth and strengthening.
This treatment has also proven its effectiveness when applied to the scalp to treat hair loss and baldness in both men and women, and can be easily done at home.
Traditionally, microneedling is a technique that aims to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Using devices that have several microneedles, it is performed on areas with wrinkles, stretch marks and other skin conditions. By increasing collagen production, the result is less visible wrinkles and stretch marks. In addition to this use, microneedling can be used to treat baldness and hair loss. The technique is based on the use of a roller, with titanium needles measuring 0.25 to 3 millimeters, to create tiny wounds in the area. When it identifies bleeding from these holes, the body activates its defenses to stop the bleeding and heal, stimulating the production of both collagen and keratinocytes, the substance responsible for creating the protein that creates the hair strand, keratin.
Another factor that stimulates hair growth is the stimulation of dermal papilla cells, or stem cells, which increase the effectiveness of the process. The number of sessions required to achieve visible results can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, from genetics to daily care.
For the beard strengthening we advise you to use a dermaroller with needles of 0.3mm , 0.5mm or 0.75mm .
For the hair strengthening we recommend that you use a dermaroller with needles 0.5mm (mild alopecia), 0.75 mm (moderate alopecia) or 1.00 mm (advanced alopecia)

HOW TO USE THIS FANTASTIC ACCESSORY?
Disinfect your Dermaroller before using it. Since the microneedles penetrate the skin, they need to be disinfected. Soak the roller in 70% isopropyl alcohol for ten minutes.
70% is better than 99% as it doesn't evaporate as quickly.
After this time, take the Dermaroller, shake it to remove excess alcohol and let it dry for a few minutes.
Disinfect your skin if you are using longer needles. These needles penetrate deeper, which can lead to infection. If you are using needles longer than half a millimeter, disinfect your skin and the Dermaroller. Rub 70% isopropyl alcohol all over your skin.
Starting from the top or bottom, pass the instrument horizontally over the area, lift it up and pass it again, completing six times. Move it a little higher or lower and repeat the process until the area is complete. Then do the same vertically.
Another option is to use it diagonally, but this can cause uneven needling.
Use the Dermaroller every other day. Using it too frequently can cause inflammation. At most, try to use it three to five times a week, giving your skin a break every now and then.
What care should be taken after capillary microneedling?
After the procedure, make sure to:
- Do not expose the treated area to the sun for at least 3 days
- Do not use medication (unless prescribed by a doctor) on the site for up to 48 hours
- Do not wash your hair on the first day after the procedure
Warnings: Do not share the Dermaroller with other people. Since it penetrates the skin, you may end up sharing or transmitting blood-borne diseases.
RESULTS OF HAIR MICRONEEDLING:
Hair microneedling has proven to be extremely effective for both men and women. There are a number of studies that prove its satisfactory results, one of which showed that men with androgenetic alopecia, better known as male pattern baldness, showed excellent results after weekly sessions for a month and then biweekly, for a total of 8 to 10 sessions. One of the great advantages of this procedure is that its results are long-lasting, which makes the investment even more advantageous.
In some cases, it is recommended to use hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C immediately after the session, to maximize the results of the technique.
