SCALPROLLER 

Growth Treatment Enhancer

Nanogen’s Scalproller is the first specially designed roller to help treat thinning hair. With unique titanium needles to precisely penetrate the skin with minimal irritation. Scalproller pre-treatment dramatically improves the effects of any topical treatment.

Titanium Microneedle Scalp Roller

• Safe for men & women
  
  
• Dramatically increases absorption of growth treatments
  
  
• Heals donor scars
  
  
• Activates Platelet Rich Plasma therapy
  
  
• Encourages scalp repair & hair growth mechanisms
  
  
• No appreciable pain or injury

The genuine Scalproller by Nanogen has
4 innovative modes of action to enhance
any hair treatment regimen:

1. Increases Minoxidil Absorption

Scalproller pre-treatment has been shown to increase absorption of topical treatments such as Minoxidil by 5 times or more.

With Scalproller pre-treatment, lower 2% concentrations of Minoxidil solution may give concentrations in the scalp higher than when using 5% solutions on untreated skin. Similarly, 5% solutions could produce higher concentrations in the scalp than 12.5% solutions or suspensions used on untreated skin.

Frontal scalp areas are notoriously difficult to treat topically, most probably due to lack of absorption. Therefore Minoxidil is only really effective in treating vertex hair loss. Using Nanogen’s Scalproller can dramatically increase absorption of Minoxidil in these regions, opening up new potential areas for topical treatments to act on.

2. Heals Donor Scars

Hair transplant surgery commonly leaves scars in the donor region; Nanogen’s Scalproller can fade and reduce the appearance of these scars by breaking up scar tissue structures and formations. Plus there is evidence in animal models to show that new hair may grow to conceal the donor area after Scalproller treatment.



3. Activates PRP Treatment

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP therapy is a cutting edge development in hair loss treatment. PRP has been shown to produce thicker transplanted hair growth, and possibly even thicken non-transplanted hair.

In PRP therapy, the platelet and growth factor rich fraction of the patient’s blood is re-injected into them, and then growth is activated by repeated needle insertion. Single needle insertion is irregular, time consuming and often painful. Scalproller treatment produces much more reliable, regular needle insertions in less time, and with less pain.

4. Encourages New Hair Growth

The latest research by Intercytex, performed with Dr. Bessam Farjo as principal investigator, has shown that patients receiving superficial injections grow new hair, which may solely be a result of the controlled skin wounding itself.

This surprising result is correlated by the pioneering work published by Dr. George Cotsarelis of Pennsylvania University, who found that stimulation of the Wnt protein by wounding leads to hair regeneration. Wounding by microneedles would potentially start this Wnt protein mediated growth stimulation, and prevent synthesis of TGF-ß2, a protein known to induce hair loss.

Scalproller treatment increases Minoxidil efficacy and may independently promote new hair growth.

Optimum Microneedle Length

Studies indicate Scalproller needles need to penetrate the upper layer of skin for best results. The Scalproller has a variety of needle lengths for optimum results without appreciable pain or injury.

The genuine Scalproller by Nanogen is available in 2 home versions for home use. At first, a 0.3mm version is recommended for patients without a professional consultation. A 0.5mm home version is available for patients after having used the 0.3mm or after consultation with a medical professional.

Since longer needles can cause pain if not used by experts accompanied by topical anaesthetic creams, the Scalproller is also available in 1 & 2mm needle lengths for clinical use only.
