540 Titanium Micro-Needles
0.25mm surgical-grade titanium
Micro-trauma that triggers your scalp's own wound-healing growth factors.
Region
South Korea (Grade-5 titanium)
Form
Handheld dermaroller
Shelf
6 months of hygienic use (~50 sessions)
Class
Tool
Key finding
80%
Increase in topical serum absorption post-microneedling
The brief.
Origin
Roller heads are precision-manufactured in Busan, South Korea. Grade-5 titanium alloy is CNC-milled, then electropolished to a mirror finish before needle mounting.
Extraction
540 individually welded needles arranged in a 12Γ45 array, mounted on an anti-flex axle for uniform 0.25 mm scalp penetration.
Sustainability
Titanium is 100% recyclable and lasts decades. Retired rollers can be returned to us for medical-metal recycling.
How it works.
0.25mm needles create controlled micro-channels in the scalp. Your body treats these as micro-wounds and releases growth factors (VEGF, PDGF, TGF-Ξ²) at the follicle to repair them β the same signals that regulate hair growth. Bonus: any serum applied within 15 minutes is delivered directly to the dermal papilla.
Delivers
- 01Triggers the body's own wound-healing cascade β VEGF, PDGF, TGF-Ξ² released at the follicle
- 02Increases topical absorption of serums by up to 80%
- 03Wakes dormant follicles in early pattern thinning
- 04Titanium β unlike stainless β will never rust or corrode
Molecular signature.
The bio-active constituents that make 540 Titanium Micro-Needles work β with standardised percentages where measured by HPLC.
- 01
VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)
Released post-microneedling β recruits new capillaries to the follicle.
- 02
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)
Triggers dermal papilla cell proliferation.
- 03
Wnt/Ξ²-catenin pathway
Micro-injury activates this hair-cycle regulator, extending anagen.

The record
Microneedling was pioneered in 1995 by dermatologist Dr. Desmond Fernandes as an alternative to laser resurfacing. Its application to androgenetic alopecia was formalised in Dhurat et al.'s landmark 2013 study, which showed 4Γ the regrowth of minoxidil alone when the two were combined.
Traditional use
Analogous to Chinese 'plum-blossom needle' (mei hua zhen), a 7-needle bundled tool used in traditional acupuncture for scalp stimulation since the Ming dynasty.
Naturally found in
- Grade-5 titanium is the same alloy used in surgical implants and aerospace
- Chosen over stainless steel for corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties

People often ask.
Does 0.25mm hurt?
No. You feel a light prickle. Longer needles (0.5mm+) draw blood and belong in clinics, not homes.
How soon after rolling do I apply serum?
Within 10β15 minutes, while the micro-channels are still open. That's the absorption window.
How long does a titanium roller last?
About 6 months of weekly use before the needle tips dull. We recommend replacing every 50 sessions.
