Derma Roller Side Effects on Hair

When used correctly, side effects of derma roller on hair are generally mild and temporary, but it’s important to understand them before adding microneedling to your hair care routine. Typical side effects of a derma roller include temporary scalp redness, tenderness, itching, dryness, slight swelling or a mild burning feeling. Excessive rolling, the use of long microneedles, and applying too much pressure without professional supervision can increase the risk of bleeding, irritation, infection, scarring and uneven pigmentation of the skin. 

While some users may experience temporary hair shedding after derma rolling, persistent or excessive hair loss should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Never use a derma roller on an infected, inflamed, sunburned or wounded scalp. Do not share the device with other people. Clean and disinfect the roller before and after use, use the recommended needle length and allow for sufficient recovery time between sessions. See a qualified professional for how long to wait before applying minoxidil or another topical hair treatment after microneedling, as applying immediately can cause more irritation or absorption.
