1. Derma-Rolling

Derma-rolling consists of using a small rolling tool with tiny needles on it. The roller is used over the scalp to create micro-cuts which allow for products to penetrate the scalp and stimulate new collagen growth.

2. Option 1

In one study participants used a 1.5mm derma roller.  The roller was used once a week for the first month and then every other week for the next 5 months.  No topical treatment should be applied following roller usage.

3. Option 2

If using a topical treatment, it might be best to use a smaller roller. Try using a .25mm roller daily on the scalp and then add a topical solution afterward.
