Dermaroller for hair loss: what does a dermatologist say?

A dermaroller is sometimes mentioned as a remedy for hair loss, but whether it really works is the question. According to a dermatologist at MSN, the device can stimulate the scalp by making small puncture holes. This would improve blood circulation and the absorption of hair growth products.

Whether a dermaroller actually results in thicker hair depends on the cause of the hair loss. In the case of hereditary baldness or hormonal problems, the effect is reportedly limited. The dermatologist emphasizes that it is not a miracle cure and that results can vary from person to person.

For those who try it, hygiene is important to prevent infections. The skin doctor advises to clean the device thoroughly and not to use it too often. Anyone who is unsure or suffering from hair loss should seek advice from a specialist.
