does micro-needling (derma rolling) really work?

to test whether the micro-needling work the scientists from us national library of medicine conducted an experiment.

the scientists took two groups of mice and they tested how does the micro-needling work.

they split the mice into two groups and they shaved the hair on the back of them.

in the group A scientists used derma roller for 10 cycles with a set of different sizes of needles.

in group B they took only one needle of 0.5mm and here the difference was the number of cycles as shown in the above picture.

in group A after 10 cycles in 3 weeks of micro-needling stimulation 0.25mm and 0.5mm needle seemed to be working better than the other needles.

when 0.5mm needle is tested for 3 cycles 6 cycles, 10 cycles and 13 cycles the 10 cycles seems to be stimulating more hair growth than the other ones.

it is proved that the micro-needling(derma rolling) works and it stimulates the hair growth.

2. derma roller without minoxidil

1) Derma roller with minoxidil

is a hair product that is used to revive the inactive hair follicle and helps to regrow the hair.

the pricks created by the derma roller will be closed in 30 minutes so it is better to apply the minoxidil as soon as you use the derma roller.

the pricks created by the derma roller on the scalp helps the minoxidil to go inside the scalp and prevent the hair fall.

it is proved that the minoxidil used after the derma rolling works fast and better than the minoxidil used without derma rolling because the pricks absorb the minoxidil faster.
