How to Use the Olapen for Hair Growth

1. Set Up the Device

The Olapen is equipped with an LED Display, providing easy-to-read information about speed and battery levels. Here’s how to get started:

  • Charge the Device: Ensure the Olapen is fully charged before use. With a full charge, you can enjoy up to 4 hours of continuous use, the equivalent of 24 treatments.
  • Choose Your Needle Depth: Use the Adjustable Depth Gauge to set your needle length. Important: Do not exceed 0.6mm for scalp treatments. Going above this depth without proper knowledge may cause scalp damage or complications.

2. Adjust Speed and Depth

The Olapen offers 6 Speed Settings to accommodate your comfort and treatment area. With speeds of up to 15,000 RPM, you can safely adjust the intensity based on your needs.

Recommended Speed for Scalp Microneedling:

  • Start at lower speeds if you’re new to microneedling.
  • Gradually increase speed as you become more comfortable with the device.

Step-by-Step Guide to Microneedling

Step 1: Cleanse Your Scalp

Start by thoroughly washing your scalp with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. This will remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup, ensuring a clean surface for microneedling. Dry your hair completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Select the Correct Needle Depth

Using the Adjustable Depth Gauge, select the needle depth for your treatment. For hair growth, we recommend starting with a depth between 0.25mm and 0.6mm. This depth range is optimal for stimulating hair follicles without damaging the scalp.

Step 3: Apply a Hair Growth Serum (Optional)

For enhanced results, you can apply a hair growth serum before or after microneedling. The microchannels created by the needles improve the absorption of active ingredients, allowing serums to penetrate deeper into the scalp.

Step 4: Microneedling in Sections

Divide your scalp into manageable sections (e.g., front, crown, sides). Gently move the Olapen over the scalp in one direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). Ensure even coverage without overlapping the same area more than twice.

  • Speed: Use a comfortable speed setting that doesn’t feel too aggressive.
  • Pressure: Apply gentle pressure. The Olapen’s Advanced Cartridge Connection ensures needle stability, so you can focus on consistent, light pressure for the best results.

Step 5: Post-Treatment Care

Once your session is complete, avoid applying any heavy products or styling treatments for at least 24 hours. This allows your scalp to heal and absorb any post-treatment serums effectively. Clean the Olapen cartridge thoroughly following each use.

Treatment Frequency

  • For beginners: Start with one treatment per week.
  • For experienced users: You may increase to two treatments per week, but never exceed this frequency to avoid over-irritation of the scalp.

Why Microneedling Works for Hair Growth

Microneedling creates micro-injuries that signal your body to heal the area by increasing collagen and elastin production, improving blood circulation to hair follicles. Over time, this process helps:

  • Revitalize dormant hair follicles.
  • Strengthen existing hair.
  • Increase hair density and promote healthier, fuller hair growth.
