Guide: How to get a thicker beard with microneedling

How fast does a beard grow?

The simple answer is that body hair generally grows at the same speed everywhere. In a month, it grows about 1 cm; in a week, 2.3 mm; and per day, 0.3 mm, even though some people feel their beard grows faster than the hair on their head. The most logical reason is that 0.3 mm is much more noticeable on the face than in the hair if you shave daily. A more visible difference occurs since many have a shorter beard than hair, and if you have the opposite ratio, you probably feel that your hair grows faster than your beard!

Can you influence Beard Growth?

There are no scientific studies showing that the beard can grow faster than it already does. However, there are theories that overall lifestyle can have an impact. Things like eating nutritious food, reducing stress, massaging the face, and avoiding unnecessary scratching of the beard can certainly be worth a try over time if you want to see faster growth.

Why does the beard become thinner?

The reasons why some experience a sparse beard or bald patches can be many. In many cases, it is due to long-term stress that directly affects hormones and Beard Growth. If you don't have an underlying medical condition, it could simply be that your hair follicles are dormant. Here, a Beard Serum can be useful to awaken those small sleeping follicles back to life.

What is a dormant hair follicle?

A dormant hair follicle means that certain follicles are inactive and no longer produce hair strands. Responsible for Beard Growth are the roots inside the follicles, which can be affected by the factors mentioned above. To understand how to get the hair to grow, we need to understand the stages when it stops growing:

• The beard thins out: The first reaction to follicle deformation, often initiated due to stress or hormonal imbalance. Stress leads to muscle compression, which damages the hair follicle's roots.
• Atrophy: The next step where the hair follicle starts to shrink and deform, making growth more difficult.
• Dormant hair follicles: Finally, it becomes too difficult for the roots to continue sprouting, leading the follicle to go dormant and stop producing hair strands.

Awakening dormant hair follicles

The trick is to stimulate the dormant follicles and provide the skin with nourishment and vitamins. Biotin is a great ingredient to add to increase the production of keratin, which helps new hair strands grow stronger. Besides a nutritious diet, an active serum is a fantastic supplement. Skinroller's Beard Growth Serum has a proven effect on stimulating dormant hair follicles and helping hairs start growing again, even on bald patches, over time.

Using a beard serum

Apply the serum to a freshly washed face every day. Remember that the beard grows slowly, and it also takes time to awaken hair follicles. Therefore, be patient and consistent. Just like you don't learn to bench press 150 kg after one workout, your beard won't come back after one use either.

To give the serum the best conditions to reach deep into the skin, we recommend using it in conjunction with microneedling. Products applied after a treatment are absorbed into the skin up to 200% more effectively. Microneedling is easy and safe to do at home by rolling the face with Skinroller PRO. If you only have a short stubble, 0.5 mm is enough; otherwise, you can choose 1.0 mm needles. Use microneedling one day a week where
