1mm dermarolling for hairline improvement?

Question

Can I use 1mm dermaroller in scalp followed by 10%minoxidil for improving hairline? I'm currently started using it in my temple region. How long should be the frequency for using 1mm dermaroller to give best results. How to make it more effective

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Using a dermaroller with a 1mm needle length on the scalp can potentially enhance the absorption of topical treatments like minoxidil and stimulate hair growth. Here are some general guidelines and considerations to help ensure safe and effective use:

Frequency: For a 1mm dermaroller, it is generally recommended to use it once every 1-2 weeks. This frequency allows the scalp to heal between sessions, reducing the risk of irritation or damage to the skin.

Preparation: Before using the dermaroller, ensure your scalp is clean. Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly to remove any dirt or oil. This helps minimize the risk of infection.

Technique: Roll the dermaroller gently over the targeted areas of your scalp in different directions (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) to ensure even coverage. Avoid applying too much pressure to prevent injury to the skin.

Post-Treatment Care: After using the dermaroller, apply the 10% minoxidil as directed. The micro-channels created by the dermaroller can enhance the absorption of minoxidil, potentially improving its efficacy.

Additional Tips: To enhance results, maintain a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients for hair health, and consider consulting a dermatologist to tailor a comprehensive hair care regimen to your specific needs.

Consultation: It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist before starting any new treatment, especially if you have underlying scalp conditions or are using other medications.

By following these guidelines, you can safely incorporate dermarolling into your hair care routine and potentially improve hairline appearance.
