Microneedling & dermarollers for hair

How it works

Rolling fine needles over the scalp creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries that trigger wound-healing growth factors and help topical minoxidil or dutasteride absorb far better.

Does it work?

Yes — studies consistently show microneedling + minoxidil clearly beats minoxidil alone, with more patients seeing meaningful regrowth. It's one of the best cost-to-benefit add-ons available.

At-home vs in-clinic

• At-home rollers (typically 0.5–1.5 mm) used once or twice weekly.
• In-clinic pens go deeper and are done less often by a professional.

Safety

Keep the device clean and disinfected to avoid infection, don't over-do depth or frequency, and don't apply minoxidil immediately after needling (wait several hours). Skip it over active infections or inflamed skin.
