What is a derma roller?

A microneedle derma roller is covered in either titanium or stainless-steel spikes almost like a hairbrush. It is designed to puncture through your skin on a microscopic level to instigate an increase in collagen production. Collagen helps to strengthen your skin and muscle as it is a source of protein. Collagen makes up for the majority of your body’s protein sitting at around 30%. The promotion of collagen will increase keratin production ultimately promoting beard hair growth and overall beard health. Derma roller benefits are clear to see with the increase of protein production.

 You may incur redness or irritation the first few days using a beard roller. This is normal and tends to go away after the first few days. Avoid rolling the derma roller aggressively on your face as this can cause bleeding.

The derma roller we have in stock is a 0.25mm microscopic derma roller and we would recommend using this every other day. Microscopic derma rollers can be an effective way to promote beard growth. Those tiny spikes can also improve your overall skin health too. Derma rollers can improve and reduce any acne scars and wrinkles you may have as the increased collagen helps to tighten your skin.
