The sad fact is only 1% of a topical gets absorbed

I'm actually considering a dermaroller now lol.

I think dermarollers are dumb.

CCS, please explain in laymen's terms how and what can a mere mortal like myself do to increase the absorbtion of minoxidil foam without a chemistry lab at hand. Other then wetting your scalp, etc...

apply Lee's retin-A to your scalp twice a week. I get it twice a day in much more dilute amounts. But Bryan says twice a week is all you need. If it is too strong for you, dilute it with some generic minoxidil, and maybe apply it 3 times per week. That will also help your nizoral absorption.

The novaderm rollers are better because of the length. Why do you consider them 'dumb'?

i would also like to know why CCS consider the roller 'dumb'

I've always been fairly skeptical of dermarollers, too. I'd like to see some actual scientific evidence (as opposed to just speculation) that they really do enhance the topical absorption of drugs into hair follicles. Maybe they really DO do that, but I'd like to see some empirical evidence for it.
