FAQ
Welcome to the DuraStem Hair Science FAQ section.
Here you can find answers to commonly asked questions about our revolutionary at home hair loss treatment kit. Developed by a group of doctors and Scientists in New York, our non-toxic treatment is proven to stop hair loss and encourage new hair growth. If you have a specific question that is not addressed here, feel free to reach out to our team for more information.
1. What is derma rolling for hair loss?
Derma rolling is a procedure that uses a small handheld roller covered with fine needles to create micro-channels in the scalp. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, increase blood circulation, and enhance the absorption of topical treatments such as DuraStem Serum.
2. What is DuraStem Serum and how does it work?
DuraStem Serum is a regenerative scalp serum formulated with nutrient complexes designed to:
Stimulate dormant hair follicles
Strengthen existing hair shafts
Extend the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle
Improve scalp health for long-term hair density
When applied after derma rolling, DuraStem penetrates deeper into the scalp, significantly boosting its effectiveness.
3. Why combine derma rolling with DuraStem Serum?
On their own, both methods are effective. However, when used together:
Enhanced absorption: Micro-channels from the derma roller allow deeper penetration of DuraStem’s active ingredients.
Dual stimulation: The physical stimulation of micro needling plus the biological stimulation of the serum accelerate results.
Faster outcomes: Users often report noticeable thickening and regrowth within 10–14 weeks.
4. Is the procedure painful?
Most users describe derma rolling as a mild tingling or prickling sensation rather than pain. Needle lengths under 1.0 mm are generally well tolerated without anesthesia. For sensitive scalps, a topical numbing cream may be used.
5. How often should I derma roll my scalp with
DuraStem?
Needle size 0.25–1.5 mm: 2–3 times per week (light stimulation).
Needle size 1.5–2.0 mm: Once weekly (deeper stimulation).
After rolling, apply 2–3 drops of DuraStem Serum directly to the treated areas. Avoid daily rolling with longer needles to allow proper healing.
6. How soon will I see results?
With consistent use, DuraStem can help the scalp feel healthier and refreshed, and hair appear stronger, fuller, and more vibrant over time. Individual results vary depending on age, genetics, severity of hair loss, and hair type. Consistency is key.

7. Can derma rolling with DuraStem help on bald patches?
It works best on thinning areas where follicles are still alive but dormant. Complete baldness with long-standing inactive follicles may not respond as well, though scalp health can still improve greatly and results can be seen over time.
8. Is it safe for everyone?
Most people can safely use this treatment, but it should be avoided if you have:
Active scalp infections (fungal, bacterial, or viral)
Severe eczema, psoriasis of the scalp or
open wounds or sores.
History of poor wound healing or keloid scarring
Consult a dermatologist if you have concerns.
9. Are there side effects?
Possible temporary effects include:
Mild redness or scalp sensitivity (resolves in 12–24 hours)
Minor pinpoint bleeding (normal for deeper rolling)
Dryness or flaking if overused.
Using a clean roller and following instructions reduces risks.
10. How do I clean my derma roller?
Rinse in warm water after each use.
Spray with the DuraStem sanitizing spray provided in your kit
Allow to air dry before storage in a clean case.
Never share your roller with others.
11. Can I use other hair products with the duraStem protocol?
Yes, but follow these rules:
Apply DuraStem Serum immediately after rolling for maximum absorption.
Avoid harsh chemicals (strong minoxidil, irritant shampoos)
You may resume normal haircare the next day.
12. How long do results last?
As with all hair restoration treatments, results require maintenance. Continued weekly rolling with DuraStem or periodic booster sessions will help sustain growth. Stopping treatment may allow hair loss to progress naturally again.
13. Can this be combined with other therapies?
Yes! It is commonly combined with:
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for added follicle stimulation (red light therapy cap)
Infra red or low level laser therapy is highly recommended.
It can be safely used with low-level laser (red light cap) or red/infrared light devices. These combinations may help support scalp health and improve the overall appearance of hair, making strands look fuller, shinier, and stronger.
14. How does it compare to minoxidil or finasteride?
Unlike minoxidil or finasteride, derma rolling with DuraStem:
Works naturally without altering hormones. Has fewer systemic side effects but is more effective than other treatments.
Can be safely used by both men and women
15. What makes DuraStem different from other serums?
DuraStem is specifically engineered to:
Contain high concentrations of peptides and growth factors backed by research.
Work in synergy with microneedling for maximum penetration.
Improve both hair follicle activity and scalp environment, not just superficial density
16. Who is DuraStem for?
DuraStem is ideal for anyone looking to improve the quality and appearance of thinning hair. It’s suitable for all hair types and genders.
17. Is DuraStem safe for color treated hair?
Yes. Our gentle formula is free of harsh chemicals and safe for use on color-treated or chemically processed hair.
18. Does it leave a greasy residue?
Not at all. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula nourishes the scalp without weighing hair down.
19. How soon will I see results?
Results vary by individual, but many users notice improvements in texture and hair fullness within 8–12 weeks of consistent use.
20. Can I use it with other hair products?
Yes! DuraStem can be layered under your regular styling products—just apply directly to the scalp first.
Derma rolling plus DuraStem Serum is a scientifically supported, non-invasive, and effective method for stimulating hair growth, thickening thinning areas, and improving scalp health.
