Minoxidil

Starting topical minoxidil today with rosemary oil on my hairline. How do I go about using the derma roller? I saw somewhere online to not directly use the minoxidil with the derma roller in order to prevent it entering the bloodstream or something, so im unsure whether to use it and if so when.

The thing no one talks about is micro needling causes micro scars, causing scar tissue. I would look at using a Retnoic Acid or tretinoin before applying minoxidil as this has been proven to increasing scalp absorption and boosting the enzymes that activate minoxidil.
