Ok so I was searching the net looking for side effects of aloe vera going systemic , coz that's what I am currently using with my microneedling sessions and I found the following. Many here are using microneedling to help minoxidil penetrate better , in addition to the wounding which supposedly triggers stem cells etc. Well Apparently aloe vera itself is a skin penetration enhancer, so I was thinking maybe those of you microneedling just to help the minoxidil go in better, could apply aloe vera b4 the minoxidil?

I need to wait a few more months b4 deciding if microneedling has done anything for me or not, and share b4 n after photos, not just to avoid missinforming others but also to make sure I don't kid myself and fall into wishful thinking, but I seriously think something positive is happening to my head. I noticed much less shedding for one , and I am also noticing lots of tiny hairs (mostly velus hair I think that's what you call them) on my hairline and a few terminal ones. Not sure if its from the microneedling or the aloe vera. But if one was to use the other big 3 stuff I am sure those hairs would grow longer and faster. Like I said I will wait a few more months b4 sharing my results, but until then how does one know if the hairs sprouting are actually new hairs or existing hair that just happened to begin a new cycle? I mean how long do hairs stay dormant b4 starting a new cycle again?
