Let’s have a glance on how to use Dermaroller on your scalp

• Yes, definitely Dermaroller and minoxidil as a combination treatment work on hairs. Which are in an active stage of growth.
• When you use Dermaroller before or after applying minoxidil, it massively boosts the absorption of minoxidil. And makes it a much more effective hair loss treatment.

• The most effective way to use dermaroller with minoxidil is to first roll the scalp with the roller, and then apply minoxidil.
• Though you can carry it out the other way round, too, whichever way suits you.
• It is essential to apply minoxidil after rolling, for optimal effect. Because temporary channels created in the skin by the derma roller close within an hour.

• When you are using dermaroller along with minoxidil, use a needle length between 0.2 mm-0.5 mm. Avoid using a longer needle to prevent deeper absorption of minoxidil and its resulting side effects.
• When you are using Dermaroller without minoxidil, you can use a needle that is 0.5mm to 1mm long
• To achieve maximum benefits, You can use a shorter needle length derma roller (0.2 mm-0.5 mm) 2-3 times a week with minoxidil to enhance its absorption and to promote better regeneration of the hair follicles. Use a longer length derma roller (0.5 mm-1 mm) once a fortnight.

Using a dermaroller and minoxidil together can significantly enhance hair growth treatments. Minoxidil stimulates hair follicles, while the dermaroller promotes blood circulation and boosts absorption of minoxidil.

For optimal results, use a dermaroller with needle lengths of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm 2-3 times a week, applying minoxidil afterward.

Avoid longer needles when using both to prevent unwanted side effects. Always consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice and to monitor your hair restoration journey.
