Microneedling Myths Debunked: 5 Facts About Derma Rolling for Hair & Skin

Let’s set the record straight—here are the most common myths about derma rolling, and the real facts behind them so you can feel confident in your skincare journey.

Myth #1: "Derma Rolling Is Painful or Dangerous"

Fact: With the right technique and needle size (like 0.5mm), derma rolling feels like light tingling—not pain. It’s safe when done with clean tools and proper aftercare.

Myth #2: "At-Home Microneedling Doesn’t Work"

Fact: At-home microneedling tools like the Vitalysse Derma Roller can improve skin tone, collagen production, and hair growth when used consistently. You don’t need a clinic to get visible results.

Myth #3: "Results Happen Overnight"

Fact: While some people notice smoother skin or less shedding quickly, full results take 4–8 weeks of consistent use. Stick with it and be patient—microneedling is a long game with lasting payoff.

Myth #4: "Derma Rolling Is Just for Women"

Fact: Derma rolling is for everyone. Men use it for hair regrowth, beard care, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation. It’s a unisex solution to common skincare and scalp concerns.

Myth #5: "Only Clinics Use Effective Tools"

Fact: High-quality at-home rollers use medical-grade materials and precision-engineered needles—just like in-office versions. The Vitalysse Derma Roller is designed for safe, repeatable, effective results at home.

Bonus Tip:

Always sanitize your roller before and after each use and follow a gentle skincare routine post-treatment to avoid irritation.
