Using Dermaroller with topical sprayUpdated 10 months ago
Using a derma roller in conjunction with topical treatments like the All-In-One topical treatment can enhance the absorption of these products and potentially improve their effectiveness. However, it’s important to use the derma roller correctly to maximize benefits and minimize the risk of irritation or side effects.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use a derma roller with your topical treatments:
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Choose the Right Derma Roller:
- Needle Size: For scalp use, a derma roller with needle lengths between 0.25 mm and 0.5 mm is typically recommended. These lengths are effective for enhancing product absorption without causing too much discomfort or risk of injury.
- Quality: Ensure the derma roller is of good quality and made from medical-grade materials to reduce the risk of infection.
- Sanitize the Derma Roller:
- Before each use, disinfect the derma roller alcohol solution. This step is crucial to prevent infections.
- Clean Your Scalp:
- Wash your scalp with Dense Daily Densify 2 in1 Shampoo and Conditioner. Rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt, oil, or residue. Towel dry your hair to remove excess moisture.
- Use the Derma Roller:
- Technique: Gently roll the derma roller over the areas of your scalp where you want to apply the topical treatment. Move the roller in different directions (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal) to ensure even coverage.
- Pressure: Apply gentle-moderate pressure. The goal is to create microchannels in the scalp.
- Duration: Roll the device over each area for about 1-2 minutes. Do not over-roll or press too hard, as this could cause irritation or injury.
- Apply the Topical Treatment:
- Immediately after using the derma roller, apply your All In One topical treatment to the treated areas. The microchannels created by the derma roller will allow the product to penetrate deeper into the scalp, potentially enhancing its effectiveness.
- Quantity: Use the recommended amount of the topical treatment as directed on the prescription label.
- Allow the Treatment to Absorb:
- Let the topical treatment absorb into the scalp without rinsing. It’s advisable to avoid washing your hair for at least a few hours after application to allow maximum absorption.
- Post-Treatment Care:
- Keep the scalp clean and avoid excessive sun exposure or activities that cause excessive sweating, as this can irritate the treated areas.
- Clean the Derma Roller:
- After use, clean the derma roller thoroughly by rinsing it with warm water and then using alcohol disinfectant. Store it in a clean, dry place to keep it sterile for future use.
Frequency of Use:
- Derma Roller Use: Start by using the derma roller once a week to allow your scalp to adjust. Depending on your comfort level and skin response, you can gradually increase the frequency to 2-3 times per week.
- Topical Treatments: Continue using your topical treatments as directed, typically twice daily, even on days you do not use the derma roller.
Precautions:
- Monitor for Side Effects: If you experience significant redness, irritation, or discomfort, reduce the frequency of derma roller use or consult with our hair experts.
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: If you have any underlying skin conditions or concerns, consult with one of our Hair Experts before starting derma roller use.
Using a derma roller correctly in combination with topical treatments can enhance your hair growth regimen, but it’s essential to follow these steps carefully to avoid potential issues.
