- What is a Scalproller?
Nanogen's Scalproller is a treatment previously only available through Trichologists or
Dermatologists. The 0.3mm & 0.5mm models have now made this treatment available for use at
home. It is a cylindrical barrel with precision engineered titanium microneedles which
penetrate the top layers of skin without causing damage or bleeding. This accurate and
non-intrusive penetration allows much higher absorption of scalp treatments like Serum VEGF. It
may also stimulate scalp healing and hair growth by itself as it can stimulate the scalp's
healing response.
- How will Nanogen's Scalproller Work?
As you roll the roller over your scalp it penetrates the upper layers of skin. By opening the
skin in this way you dramatically increase the penetration of any topical growth product,
increasing its efficacy. These perforations also stimulate the scalp's healing mechanisms,
increasing production of many important factors for a healthy scalp.
- Can I use the Scalproller more than once a day?
At first, the Scalproller is designed to be used once daily, and is far more intensive than any
skin roller, using more than once daily may be possible after time, depending on the
individual. If used more than once a day initially the Scalproller may cause more irritation
than is aimed for, and even cause damage.
- When using the Scalproller do I roll over each part of my scalp only once?
At first, use a single motion once over each area of scalp, rolling gently forward from the
crown. This produces a controlled amount of irritation and avoids tangling the roller in longer
hair. After time, individual users may prefer to roll in multiple directions.
- Which needle length Scalproller should I use?
Nanogen's genuine Scalproller is available in 2 versions for home use. The 0.3mm version is
recommended for patients with very thin hair or pain sensitive skin. A 0.5mm home version is
available to ensure penetration even with thicker hair.
- Will the Scalproller mark my scalp, cause redness, or cause pain or bleeding?
When used as directed, the Scalproller will only cause small or no marks, and the marks will
fade in under a minute. Scalproller treatment may cause a flush to your scalp that will fade in
a few hours, but no long-lasting redness. The Scalprollers made available for home use have
sharp, durable titanium needles that do not cause appreciable pain or bleeding.

- Do I use Nanogen's Scalproller over my whole scalp, or just the thinning area?
As the main aim of the Scalproller is to help topical hair loss treatments penetrate, you
should use the Scalproller everywhere that you will apply your topical treatment. However using
it elsewhere will certainly not do any harm.
- Is this the same as other Skin or Derma Rollers?
No. Other skin rollers have different needle lengths, and are designed to be used for different
purposes. Some claim they will work on Hair Loss, but Nanogen's Scalproller is the first
specially designed for use on the scalp and for use every day. No other skin roller is made
from unique titanium needles, so only the Scalproller can be reused intensively for 3-6
months.
- Can I use a topical solution with the Scalproller?
Yes, the Scalproller is designed to be used with topical treatments to increase their efficacy,
you should still follow the guidelines on your topical treatments for their application.
- When do I use a topical solution with the Scalproller?
You use the Scalproller first, to increase the penetration of the treatment, then the topical
treatment. You should still follow the guidelines on your topical treatments for their
application.
- I use more than one topical solution, which should I apply first?
The same as you did before you used the Scalproller, you should still follow the guidelines on
your topical treatments for their application.
- How long will the Scalproller last for?
Even when used daily, due to its unique durable titanium microneedles Nanogen's Scalproller can
last from 3-6 months.
- How do I know when to replace my Scalproller?
There will be no visible signs of the sharpness deteriorating. After 3 months, if you begin to
notice any increase in pain or inflammation while using the Scalproller, this is a sign the
needles are becoming less sharp, and you need to replace it. After 6 months you should replace
your Scalproller, even if you have not noticed a difference in pain or inflammation.
- Is Nanogen's Scalproller Guaranteed to Work?
Like all Nanogen products, the Scalproller is manufactured and quality controlled to exacting
standards. Unfortunately, due to regulations on handling of biological material, we cannot
accept returns of a used Scalproller and so cannot refund the product.
