  • What is a Derma Roller?

    A derma roller is a handheld microneedling device containing hundreds of fine needles that roll gently across the skin.

    When used on the scalp, the fine needles create tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. Microneedling has been studied as an additional approach for people experiencing pattern hair loss.

    The Curely Derma Roller features 540 microneedles and has been selected as a convenient addition to a regular hair and scalp-care routine.

    How Does a Derma Roller Work?

    As the derma roller passes across the scalp, its microneedles create controlled microchannels in the skin.

    Microneedling has been investigated for its potential to stimulate biological processes involved in hair growth and as an adjunct to established hair-loss treatments.

    Research into microneedling for hair loss is continuing, and results vary between individuals. A derma roller should not be considered a replacement for clinically appropriate hair-loss medication.

    Derma Rolling & Hair Loss

    Microneedling has become increasingly popular as an additional treatment approach for male and female pattern hair loss.

    Clinical studies have investigated microneedling both alone and alongside established hair-loss treatments. Some research has reported improvements in hair-growth outcomes, although the evidence is still developing and results are not guaranteed.

    If you have been prescribed a treatment such as finasteride for male pattern hair loss, continue to use your medication exactly as directed by your prescriber. The derma roller is an optional addition to your wider hair-care routine rather than a replacement for your prescribed treatment.

  • How to Use the Derma Roller on Your Scalp

    Always use your derma roller on a clean, dry and healthy scalp.

    Before use, ensure the roller has been appropriately cleaned and disinfected according to the supplied instructions.

    Part your hair to expose the area of scalp you want to treat. Using gentle pressure, carefully roll the device across the treatment area. Avoid repeatedly passing over the same area or applying excessive pressure.

    Your scalp may appear mildly red or feel sensitive following use. Stop using the device if you experience significant pain, bleeding, persistent irritation or another unexpected reaction.

    Do not use the derma roller on broken, infected, irritated or inflamed skin.

     

    Cleaning & Care

    Keeping your derma roller clean is particularly important because the needles come into direct contact with your scalp.

    Clean and disinfect the device before and after each use according to the product instructions. Allow it to dry completely before returning it to its protective case.

    Do not share your derma roller with another person.

    Avoid touching the needles directly and replace the roller if the needles become damaged, bent or blunt.

    Safety Information


    Do not use the derma roller on:

    • Broken or wounded skin
    • Active scalp infections
    • Inflamed or severely irritated skin
    • Active eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area
    • Unexplained scalp lesions
    • Areas affected by significant acne or folliculitis
    • Do not use excessive pressure or deliberately cause bleeding.

    If you have an existing scalp or skin condition, take medicines that affect bleeding or healing, or are unsure whether microneedling is appropriate for you, speak to a healthcare professional before use.

    Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you develop signs of infection or a severe or persistent skin reaction.

    Keep out of reach of children.

  • Can a Derma Roller Help with Hair Growth?
    Microneedling has been investigated as a treatment for pattern hair loss, with some studies suggesting it may support hair-growth outcomes, particularly when used alongside other treatments.

    However, the evidence is still developing and a derma roller cannot guarantee hair regrowth.

    Can I Use a Derma Roller for Male Pattern Hair Loss?
    Microneedling has been studied in people with androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss.

    Because there are many different causes of hair loss, it is important to understand what is causing yours before choosing treatment.

    Can I Use a Derma Roller with Finasteride?
    A derma roller can be incorporated into a hair-care routine while taking oral finasteride, but the treatments work in different ways.

    Finasteride is a prescription medicine with established evidence for treating male pattern hair loss. A derma roller is an optional microneedling device and should not replace prescribed treatment.

    Can I Use a Derma Roller with Minoxidil?
    Microneedling has been studied alongside topical minoxidil, and some research has reported benefits from combination treatment.

    However, microneedling temporarily affects the skin barrier. Do not automatically apply topical products immediately after microneedling unless the instructions for your treatment or a healthcare professional advise that this is appropriate.

    Is a Derma Roller Suitable for Everyone?
    No. People with certain scalp conditions, active infections, broken skin or conditions affecting healing may not be suitable for microneedling.

    If you are unsure, speak to a pharmacist, doctor or dermatologist before using a derma roller.
