After using a derma roller on your scalp, you can apply a variety of products depending on your specific hair needs. Here are some common products that people often use in their post-dermarolling hair care regime:
- Hair growth serum: Many people apply a hair growth serum after dermarolling to further stimulate hair growth. A popular choice is minoxidil, which is clinically proven to help with hair regrowth [1].
- Essential oils: Essential oils like rosemary, peppermint, and lavender are often chosen for their potential hair growth promoting properties [2]. Always remember to dilute these oils before applying them to your scalp.
- Natural ingredients: Some people prefer to use natural ingredients like aloe vera gel or coconut oil which contain nutrients that can nourish the scalp and hair.
- PRP treatment: For those going for a professional treatment, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which involves injecting your own blood back into your scalp, has shown promising results for hair growth [3].
- Scalp mask: A soothing scalp mask can help with inflammation and can provide moisture to your scalp.
Regardless of what you choose to apply, it's crucial to clean your scalp before dermarolling to prevent any chance of infection, and to use products that are in unopened or sterile containers.
