Today we're going to talk about dermarollers and how they can help with male and female patterned hair loss, especially when used alongside minoxidil.
Boosting Minoxidil with Dermarollers
If you are already using minoxidil for hair loss and want to boost its effectiveness without increasing the dose, incorporating a dermaroller into your routine 1 to 2 times a week can be beneficial. Dermarollers help enhance the uptake of minoxidil, making the treatment more effective.
The Importance of Dermaroller Depth
The effectiveness of a dermaroller largely depends on its needle depth. Typically, a depth of 1 to 1.5 millimeters is recommended. It's important to note that drawing blood during the process means the needles are penetrating too deeply. Aim for light pressure to avoid this.
Dermaroller Sets
Instead of purchasing individual dermarollers, consider buying them in sets. A typical set might include:
0.5 mm: Mostly for getting used to the dermaroller.
1.0 mm: Suitable for regular use to enhance minoxidil absorption.
1.5 mm: For more experienced users, but avoid drawing blood.
Dermaroller and Minoxidil: A Complementary Approach
Using a dermaroller on its own won't be sufficient to treat hair loss. However, when combined with minoxidil, it can provide additional benefits and help you achieve better results.
In summary, using a dermaroller 1 to 2 times a week at the appropriate depth can enhance the effectiveness of your minoxidil treatment for male and female patterned hair loss. Consider starting with a lighter depth and gradually increasing as you become more comfortable with the process.
