Minoxidil is the best existing stimulator for hair growth today, and when used with a derma roller, people see much better and quicker results. You will find countless success stories of people on the internet. And I also regrew my hair in under a year using these treatments. So today, I will show you the right way to use minoxidil and a derma roller for the best and quickest results.
Before and after results of minoxidil with the derma roller.
Minoxidil is the most effective hair stimulator in existence today. It works by opening potassium channels and promoting the hair follicles' growth phase.
Minoxidil opens the potassium channels, which helps promote hair growth.
This encourages hair follicles to enter the growth phase again. It not only makes existing hair thicker but also regrows lost hair. On the other side, the derma roller is a device with tiny needles. You can use it on your scalp to create micro-injuries. These micro-injuries heal quickly, encouraging collagen and elastin fiber production.
The derma roller promotes hair growth by stimulating the dermal papilla.
Both of these treatments work great for regrowing lost hair, but using minoxidil and the dermaroller together is more effective.

To get the desired results, there are a few things you need to consider.
First, choose the right minoxidil:
Choosing the correct minoxidil is important to achieve the best and quickest results. You can find minoxidil in either liquid or foam form. Liquid minoxidil is good for easier skin absorption, which can lead to faster results. Foam minoxidil is convenient and easy to apply, it dries quickly, and is mess-free in your hair. Both are great and will regrow your hair, but if you are unsure, start with liquid minoxidil. You can measure the exact amount you want to use, and it’s cheaper. I will leave a link to both in the description.
Liquid minoxidil is easy to apply. Foam minoxidil absorps faster.
Second, apply minoxidil correctly:
You only need to apply minoxidil in the area where your hair is already thinning or lost. If, like me, you have temple recession, it is enough to apply minoxidil only in the temple area. If you have more severe and extended hair loss, you can use minoxidil on other thinning areas of your hair. To start, create a parting in your hair to expose the thinning area. Now, use the dropper that comes with the minoxidil to use exactly 1 ml. Use the dropper to evenly distribute the minoxidil in the thinning area. Keep applying it until you have used the entire 1 ml. You should use minoxidil at least once a day for it to work. For quicker results, do this process twice a day—once in the morning and once in the evening. It is important to be consistent with minoxidil. If you don’t use the product every day, you won’t get the results you want.
Only apply minoxidil where your hair is thinning or lost already.
Third, use a dermaroller:
Using the derma roller and minoxidil together improves results. Microneedling helps minoxidil to absorb effectively into the skin. The dermaroller comes in different shapes and sizes. Make sure you get one that has real needles. Real needle dermarollers help the skin heal faster and regrow hair quicker. You can find one like that in the description.
Now, dermaroll before using the minoxidil to get better results. You can dermaroll and then apply the minoxidil after 24 hours. You should dermaroll at least once a month for it to work, but for quicker results, dermaroll once a week. This is my personal frequency too.
Apply minoxidil 24h after derma rolling.
Until next time, I wish you a happy hair journey. Adios!
