Do derma rollers really help with hair loss as some studies suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Derma rollers: There is no evidence that derma rollers help with hair loss. There is modest evidence that LED light therapy can help but the key word is modest. Topical minoxidil and the oral medications for hair loss can work so see your dermatologist for those.
