Can I use Derma Roller to treat my hair loss?

Question

Sir, I'm 20. My hair volume is decreasing. Can I use Derma Roller? I have dandruff. Is any infection caused by using Derma Roller by a dandruff person?

Hi, Thanks for posting your question here. Derma roller is a good option to control hair fall but under a medical supervision. Treating dandruff is mandatory before any treatment. Meet a board certified dermatologist or a plastic surgeon.

I strongly advise against use of dermaroller by patients themselves. It predisposes you to infection because of lack of hygiene maintenance. The procedure does not serve any purpose because the amount of dermaroller required for scalp needs deep penetration causing bleeding which is usually painful and thus cannot be performed by the patient himself in the right manner. 
Dandruff will not cause any infection if proper protocol of hygiene is maintained during the procedure,
