Dermaroller and Microneedling – Stimulate Your Scalp for Healthier Hair Growth at Minerva Clinic
Hair thinning and reduced hair density can be concerning issues. For those seeking a minimally invasive approach to rejuvenate the scalp and encourage natural hair growth, dermaroller and microneedling therapies offer effective solutions. These treatments, also known as collagen induction therapy for the scalp, involve creating tiny micro-punctures in the skin to stimulate the body's natural healing response, improve circulation, and enhance the absorption of topical hair growth treatments. At Minerva Clinic, our trained specialists perform dermaroller and microneedling for hair restoration with precision and care.
As a leading clinic for comprehensive hair care, Minerva Clinic integrates these innovative scalp stimulation techniques to help combat hair loss, improve hair thickness, and promote a healthier environment for hair follicles to thrive.

Understanding Scalp Health & How Microneedling Stimulates Hair Follicles
A healthy scalp environment is crucial for optimal hair growth. However, factors such as reduced blood flow, inflammation, or impaired follicle function can contribute to hair thinning and loss. Dermaroller and microneedling work by addressing these underlying aspects.
How Dermaroller & Microneedling Benefit Hair Follicles:
| Mechanism of Action | Description & Impact on Scalp and Hair | How This Promotes Hair Health & Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Controlled Micro-Injury (Collagen Induction) | Fine needles create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the scalp skin. | Triggers the body's natural wound healing cascade, releasing growth factors, stimulating stem cell activity, and promoting the production of new collagen and elastin in the dermis. |
| Increased Blood Flow & Angiogenesis | The micro-injuries stimulate increased blood circulation and the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) around the hair follicles. | Delivers more oxygen and vital nutrients to the hair follicles, supporting their health, strengthening existing hair, and encouraging new growth. |
| Enhanced Absorption of Topical Products | The micro-channels created in the skin significantly increase the penetration and absorption of topical hair growth solutions (e.g., minoxidil, serums, PRP). | Allows active ingredients to reach the hair follicles more effectively, boosting their therapeutic impact. |
| Activation of Dormant Follicles | The release of growth factors and improved scalp environment can help "awaken" dormant or miniaturized hair follicles. | May lead to the growth of new hairs or the thickening of existing fine hairs, contributing to increased hair density. |
| Reduction of Scalp Fibrosis (Potential) | In some cases, microneedling may help to break down minor fibrotic tissue around follicles, improving their environment. | It can potentially improve follicle function in areas where mild scarring or fibrosis might be constricting growth. |
Common Hair Concerns Addressed:
- Androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) - particularly in early to moderate stages
- Diffuse hair thinning
- To enhance the efficacy of other hair loss treatments

Myths vs. Facts About Dermaroller & Microneedling for Hair
| Myth | Fact from Minerva Clinic |
|---|---|
| "Microneedling the scalp is extremely painful." | Fact: While some discomfort can be expected, topical numbing creams are often applied before professional microneedling to make the procedure very tolerable. Sensations are often described as pressure or mild prickling. |
| "Dermarolling at home gives the same results as clinical microneedling." | Fact: Clinical microneedling with pen devices allows for precise, controlled, and often deeper needle penetration than most at-home dermarollers. Professional treatments are also performed in a sterile environment with medical-grade devices, ensuring safety and efficacy. |
| "Microneedling will damage existing hair follicles." | Fact: When performed correctly with appropriate needle depths, microneedling aims to stimulate hair follicles by inducing a healing response. It is not intended to damage healthy, active follicles. |
| "You see dramatic hair growth after just one microneedling session." | Fact: Hair growth is a gradual process. Microneedling typically requires a series of sessions (e.g., 4-8) spaced several weeks apart. Visible improvements in hair density usually become noticeable after a few months. |
| "Microneedling for hair is only for men." | Fact: Microneedling is equally effective for women experiencing hair thinning, androgenetic alopecia, or seeking general scalp rejuvenation to improve hair quality and density. |
| "The needles used are very large and cause significant bleeding." | Fact: The needles used for scalp microneedling are very fine and short (micro-needles). Pinpoint bleeding during the procedure is minimal and stops very quickly. |
| "Microneedling is a standalone cure for all hair loss." | Fact: Microneedling is a powerful tool, especially effective for androgenetic alopecia and for enhancing topical treatment absorption. However, for best results, it's often part of a comprehensive hair restoration plan that may include other therapies. |
| "Anyone can perform microneedling on the scalp safely." | Fact: Scalp microneedling should be performed by trained medical professionals or skin specialists who understand scalp anatomy, appropriate needle depths, sterile techniques, and how to manage potential skin responses. |
