Clinical-grade 0.5mm derma roller for microneedling. RCT evidence: microneedling + minoxidil produces significantly more hair regrowth than minoxidil alone. Also effective for collagen induction therapy on facial skin — improves acne scars, fine lines, and skincare product absorption.

  • • Boosts minoxidil absorption by up to 5x (RCT evidence)
  • • Stimulates collagen and elastin production via wound healing response
  • • Improves acne scars and fine lines with regular use
  • • Enhances penetration of tretinoin, vitamin C, and other actives
  • • Clinical-grade 540 titanium needles
  • • Reusable — replace every 3-4 months

Who is this for?

Anyone using minoxidil for hair loss wanting to maximise results. Anyone with acne scars, fine lines, or dull skin wanting collagen induction. Those looking to improve topical skincare product absorption.

For hair: Roll over thinning areas 1x per week, then apply minoxidil 24 hours later (not immediately — allow micro-wounds to close). For skin: Roll over clean face 1x per week in a star pattern. Apply serum after. Disinfect roller with isopropyl alcohol before and after each use. Replace every 3-4 months.

How it works

The 0.5mm needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin/scalp, triggering the wound healing cascade: platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and increased collagen synthesis. On the scalp, this activates stem cells in the hair follicle bulge area. Combined with minoxidil, the micro-channels dramatically increase topical absorption and efficacy.

Important

  • • Do NOT apply minoxidil or strong actives immediately after rolling — wait 24 hours
  • • Do NOT use on active acne, open wounds, inflamed, or infected skin
  • • Sterilise with 70% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use
  • • Replace roller every 3-4 months or when needles feel dull
  • • Start with once per week — do not over-roll
  • • Mild redness for 24-48 hours is normal

About this product

Yes — this is the primary use case. However, do NOT apply minoxidil immediately after rolling. Wait 24 hours to avoid irritation from the micro-channels. Roll once per week, apply minoxidil on the other days.
Every 3-4 months, or sooner if the needles feel dull or bent. Dull needles cause tearing rather than clean punctures, leading to more irritation and less collagen stimulation.
0.5mm is the sweet spot — deep enough for collagen induction and enhanced absorption, but shallow enough to use at home safely without numbing cream. Deeper sizes (1.0mm+) should only be used by professionals.
