Microneedling might sound intense, but it’s one of the most effective ways to stimulate real hair growth—especially if you’re dealing with thinning edges, a receding hairline, or patchy spots.
This guide breaks down how microneedling works, what kind of results you can expect, and how to do it safely and confidently from home using Crownori’s precision tools.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. While it’s often used on the face to reduce scars and wrinkles, it’s also incredibly effective for stimulating hair growth on the scalp.
When done correctly, microneedling can:
- Boost blood flow to the hair follicles
- Increase collagen production
- Improve absorption of topical oils like rosemary or caffeine
- Re-activate dormant hair follicles
How Does Microneedling Help with Hair Growth?
The scalp responds to microneedling by entering a three-phase healing process:
- Inflammatory Phase: Micro-injuries trigger immune cells and increase circulation to the area.
- Proliferative Phase: New tissue and blood vessels begin to form, nourishing follicles.
- Remodelling Phase: Collagen rebuilds and strengthens the skin and follicle structure.
This biological process creates the ideal conditions for hair to regrow stronger and thicker.
Derma Roller vs. Derma Stamp: What’s the Difference?
Both tools stimulate hair growth, but they’re designed for different use cases:
| Tool | Best For | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Crownori Derma Roller | Large areas like the crown or top of the head | Medium coverage |
| Crownori Precision Derma Stamp | Hairline, temples, and patchy spots | High accuracy |
We recommend using both together for a full-coverage, targeted scalp care routine.
How to Use Microneedling Tools at Home (Safely)
- Clean your scalp and dry it completely.
- Sanitize your derma roller or stamp with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Gently roll or stamp the tool over thinning areas. Don’t press too hard—just enough to create slight redness.
- Apply 3–5 drops of rosemary oil or your favorite hair serum. Absorption will be much higher now.
- Clean your tool after every use and store it safely.
Tip: Use 1–2 times per week. Start with a 0.25mm–0.5mm needle length for beginners.
What Results Can You Expect?
- ✅ Less shedding in 4–6 weeks
- ✅ Baby hairs and new growth in 8–12 weeks
- ✅ Thicker, denser regrowth by month 3–4 (especially when paired with red light therapy)
Consistency is key. Microneedling is not a quick fix, but with regular use, it can be a game-changer for regrowing fuller, healthier hair.
Microneedling + Red Light Therapy = Best Results
For even faster and more effective results, combine microneedling with our Forever Growth Brush. The red light penetrates deeper into the scalp when used after microneedling, improving follicle stimulation and oil absorption.
This pairing targets both blood flow and collagen regeneration—two essential keys to regrowth.
Potential Side Effects and How to Avoid Them
Microneedling is safe when done correctly. Still, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Avoid using on open cuts, active infections, or severe inflammation.
- Don’t microneedle more than 2–3 times per week.
- Always sanitize your tool before and after each use.
- Avoid harsh hair products (like alcohol-based sprays) right after microneedling.
You may experience some light redness or tingling afterward—this is normal and should fade within a few hours.
Final Thoughts
Microneedling is a powerful tool in your hair regrowth journey—and with the right technique, consistency, and support, it can help reactivate dormant follicles and give you real, visible results.
Whether you’re starting to notice thinning or looking to take your regrowth to the next level, Crownori gives you the tools to do it safely, naturally, and confidently from home.
