Yes, dermaroller can be effective in the case of correct usage and indicators. Microneedling is also referred to as dermarolling and it involves forming controlled micro-injuries on the scalp or the skin. These microchannels enhance the natural healing mechanism of the body by promoting the growth of collagen, enhancing blood flow and the absorption of topical products.
Dermarollers are popularly applied in treating acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation, irregular skin texture and a spotting hair loss. Nevertheless, the outcomes are strongly determined by depth of the needle used, frequency of applying the treatment, the state of the skin, and the professionalism or homemade nature of the procedure.
According to Dr Harikiran Chekuri,
Dermarolling produces noticeable effect when the procedure is performed by a professional in a medical-grade device.
What Are the Key Factors That Determine Dermaroller Effectiveness?
- Skin Rejuvenation: Dermarollers promote the growth of collagen and elastin, which reduces the fine lines, mild wrinkles, and shallow acne scars in case of a regular and proper use.
- Hair Growth Support: In combination with such therapies as Minoxidil, dermarolling may stimulate hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia, and its results can be even more effective than those of topical therapy.
- Improved Product Absorption: The micro-channels formed in case of dermarolling enable the serums and active ingredients to enter the skin deeper, making them more effective.
- Treatment Limitations:At-home dermarollers (typically 0.25–0.5 mm) are suitable for superficial concerns but cannot treat deep acne scars, advanced wrinkles, or significant hair loss as effectively as in-clinic microneedling.
- Potential Risks: At-home dermarollers (usually 0.25-0.5 mm) can be used on superficial issues; however, they are not as effective as microneedling in the clinic in treating deep acne scars, deep wrinkles, and severe hair loss.

How Long Does Dermarolling Take to Show Results?
- Initial Skin Changes (3–4 weeks): The fact that fine lines, shallow acne scars, and uneven texture are less visible can be seen with frequent sessions.
- Visible Skin Improvement (8–12 weeks): Reduction in fine lines, shallow acne scars, and uneven texture becomes more apparent with regular sessions.
- Early Hair Response (6–8 weeks): Decreased hair fall and improved hair thickness may be seen when dermarolling is combined with topical treatments.
- Noticeable Hair Regrowth (3–6 months): Stronger, healthier hair growth and increased density typically develop over time with consistent treatment.
- Results Depend On: Needle length, treatment frequency, skin or scalp condition, and whether dermarolling is performed at home or under professional supervision.
