Growing a thick, full beard can challenge many men. While genetics play a significant role in facial hair growth & skin concerns, there are ways to stimulate hair follicles and stimulate beard growth. One such method to stimulate hair growth is microneedling, which involves creating tiny punctures on the skin using a dermaroller. This article will discuss how dermaroller for beard can help you achieve a fuller, thicker beard. We will also explore the benefits of microneedling, needle size, dermarolling vs. minoxidil for beard, and more.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive procedure that uses a dermaroller to create tiny punctures on the skin. These micropunctures stimulate collagen and elastin production, which are essential for healthy skin and hair growth. Beard rollers involves using a specific size of dermaroller to stimulate hair follicles in the beard area; in a few weeks the beard roller and care tool will improve beard growth.

How Does a Dermaroller Work for Beard Growth?

Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that involves creating controlled micropunctures on the skin's surface using a dermaroller or a similar device. These micropunctures stimulate the body's natural healing response, triggering collagen production and blood circulation in the treated area. As a result, the skin's texture and tone improve, scars and stretch marks fade away, and stimulates to produce healthy beard hair growth.

By derma rolling your facial hair area, you're boosting blood flow and skin health, which can lead to a thicker, fuller, and healthier beard. Additionally, microneedling can help reduce inflammation and scar tissue in the beard area, benefiting men with acne scars or patchy beard.

Needle Size for a Derma roller on the beard

Choosing the correct needle size for the dermaroller on the beard depends on your skin's sensitivity and thickness. Generally, tiny needles between 0.5mm and 1.5mm are suitable for microneedling the facial hair area. However, if you have sensitive skin or thin beard hair, you should start with a smaller needle size and gradually increase it as your skin adapts. Conversely, if you have thick or coarse facial hair, you can use a larger needle size for deeper micropunctures and better results. MY Beard Activator is equipped with 0.5mm titanium needles for optimal results. 

How to Use a Dermaroller for Beard Growth?

Using a dermaroller for beard growth is simple, but the process requires some preparation and caution to avoid side effects or infections. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Cleanse your face and beard thoroughly using a mild cleanser or antiseptic solution before you use a derma roller.
2. Disinfect your dermaroller by soaking it in alcohol or a similar sterilizing solution for at least 10 minutes.
3. Apply topical anesthesia cream or gel on your beard to numb the skin and reduce pain or discomfort during microneedling.
4. Divide your beard into sections and roll the derma roller into horizontal and vertical lines on each section for 5-10 minutes in a consistent pattern. Avoid rolling too hard or too fast and applying too much pressure as it can damage the skin or hair follicles.
5. Apply a soothing serum or moisturizer on your beard to calm the skin and promote healing.

Dermarolling vs Minoxidil for Beard growth

Minoxidil is a topical medication commonly used to stimulate beard growth and scalp hair. While minoxidil can be effective in cases, it also has some drawbacks, such as possible side effects, dependency, and inconsistency. On the other hand, derma rolling is a natural and non-invasive method that works by activating the body's healing and growth mechanisms. It's also more cost-effective and convenient than minoxidil, which requires daily application and monitoring.

Derma roller for Acne Scars on Beard

In addition to stimulating beard growth, using MY Beard Activator for your beard can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars on the beard area. The micro-punctures created by the needles can stimulate collagen and keratin production, and improve skin texture. However, it's essential not to use MY Beard Activator on any active acne scarring or inflamed areas, as this can cause further skin irritation and potentially worsen the condition. Using the appropriate needle size for acne scars is also essential, as larger needles may cause more harm than good. We recommend consulting with a dermatologist or skincare professional before incorporating dermarolling into your routine, especially if you have acne-prone skin. Additionally, it's crucial to follow proper aftercare and hygiene practices to avoid infection and other potential complications. With consistent use and proper technique, dermarolling can be an effective tool in reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving the overall health and appearance of the skin on the beard.

FAQ #3: What is the hair growth cycle, and how does it relate to derma rolling?

The hair growth cycle consists of three stages: the anagen (growth) phase, the catagen (transition) phase, and the telogen (resting) phase. During the anagen phase, hair is actively growing and is most receptive to treatments like derma rolling. The micro-needles on the derma roller stimulate blood flow and keratin production, which can help to prolong the anagen phase and promote healthy hair growth.

We recommend using a dermaroller on your beard no more than once a week to avoid damaging the skin. Allow at least a week between treatments to allow your skin to heal and recover fully.

FAQ #5: Is dermarolling more effective than minoxidil for beard growth?

Dermarolling and minoxidil are two different treatments that work in different ways to promote beard growth. While both can be effective, some people may find that one works better for them than the other. Dermarolling stimulates blood flow and collagen production, while minoxidil increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to the bloodstream. Try both treatments to see which one works best for you.  

FAQ #6: Do I need topical anesthesia before dermarolling my beard?

 It is unnecessary to use a topical anesthesia before dermarolling your beard, as the needles on the dermaroller are tiny and should not cause significant pain or discomfort. However, if you are particularly sensitive to pain, you may use topical anesthesia to help numb the skin before treatment. Consult with a dermatologist or healthcare professional before using any topical anesthesia.
