Dermaroller with Minoxidil?

Question

Many doctors on here recommend short length dermarollers to be used along with minoxidil. Although safer than longer lengths, isn’t there still a non negligible risk of granuloma? Infection? Or is it safe enough to perform guilt free.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

we use stampers and rollers weekly ive been doing it for years with my roller and now my new stamper (see link).. also add restorsea spray and theradome (I do twice weekly).

You need a formal evaluation to see what type of hair loss you may have. when you have hairless its best to do a full hormonal workup for internal optimization plus scalp biopsies or scrapings to rule out any stress related, inflammatory, autoimmune or infectious causes of hair loss. In general most people with early hair loss have telogen (stress related) and/or androgenetic (normal aging) and both can be treated with in office treatments like steroid injections, PRP/acell, Exosomes and at home treatments like oral medications, oral vitamins like Viviscal, topical exfoliating sprays like Restorsea, and weekly growth factors like anteagemd.  See an expert for an evaluation. If hair loss is significant it may requires hair transplant (follicular unit translation).
