DENSE® Scalp Activator – Derma Stamp (0–3mm Adjustable)
Hair thinning doesn’t have just one cause.
Hair growth is influenced by internal biology, lifestyle, and nutritional
status. For many people, thinning or increased shedding is the result of multiple
overlapping factors.
What Affects Women
• Hormonal Shifts
• Stress + Cortisol
• Iron / Zinc Insufficiency
• Inflammation
• Calorie Restriction
• Thyroid Imbalance
• Seasonal Shedding
Many women experience diffuse thinning or excess shedding, even when bloodwork appears “normal.”
What Affects Men
• DHT Sensitivity
• Nutrient Gaps
• Oxidative Stress
• Scalp Inflammation
• Sleep + Training Stress
Not all men want, or need, pharmaceutical intervention.
Shared Factors
• Nutrient insufficiency
• Oxidative stress
• Inflammation
• Lifestyle stress
• Calorie restriction
For many people, thinning develops gradually when internal stressors and nutrient gaps compound over time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Adjustable Derma Stamp?
It is a scalp microneedling device with an adjustable needle depth from 0 to 3mm. It is mechanical only, with no actives, and is pressed straight down onto the scalp.
How do I choose the needle depth?
Start shallow while you get used to it and adjust gradually. Many people keep scalp microneedling on the lower settings and increase only if comfortable.
How often should I use it?
A common approach is once or twice a week rather than daily, allowing the scalp to settle between sessions. Use it on a clean scalp and clean the device afterwards.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
The derma stamp is mechanical and designed to be safe during pregnancy. As with any new routine, check with your GP or pharmacist if you are unsure.
