chronic88 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi guys,I have just joined and this is my first post. If this topic is not under the right section, I apologise.I have recently bought a dermapen and will start microneedling and also use Minoxidil.I have seen a lot of tutorials etc, but Im not sure how to approach it.my main worry is infection. Do i need a disinfectant?Do I wash my hair before and after microneedling? do I apply disinfectant before or after microneedling?I know that I should wait appx 24hrs to apply Minoxidil. I am planning to use 1.5mm.appreciate all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yes, you need to disinfect the dermaroller each time you use it. You can use alcohol. I would definitely wash my hair before, make sure the scalp is clean. I wouldn't wait a full day a few hours should be okay. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

chronic88 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 thank you for your reply. I bought a derma pen, so I should dip the needles inside the disinfectant before using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
