    So i just hopped on the dermaroller bandwagon and thought I would try it out. My question is why not use Mindoxil for 24 hours. If it could promote better absorption is there a downside, only reason I ask is if I miss a day of mindoxil it seems that I shed a lot.

    Thanks

    The way I understood it is if you do it the same day, you'll get systemetic absorption and thus side effects like high blood pressure, high heart beat rate etc.

    I am still confused as with what and when to use to clean the scalp. I have saline spray, however betadine is discontinued in the UK. Do the 2 solutions get applied before dermarolling, and what do we use for after? Will something like savlon cream suffice?
    I just wish the pilot study explained the procedure in more detail.

    The funny thing about it is that if you will use 0.5mm then you can use Minoxidil right after it as Nanogen proves that its safe based in their clinical trial. However if you go as deep as 1.5mm then it get dangerous and inadvisable!!!

    So based on what I understood is if you want good Minox absorbtion then use 0.3 or 0.5mm daily or every other day like what Im doing with my 0.5mm, If your priority is wounding then use 1.5mm once a week only.

    Serious question here guys - would any dermaroller work for this trial, or would a dedicated hair/scalp dermaroller be required?

    Is buzzed or shaved hair also a requirement?

    It doesn't have to be a dedicated scalp roller, that's just marketing. They're all about the same I think. I have a 192 ct MTS & a Dr Roller as a backup. If you go for a 540 ct make sure it has needles and not blades. And check all the needles for straightness before use.

    If your hair is longer like mine, roll in one direction instead of back and forth to avoid tangles.
