At 34, Suresh had lived with hair fall for a while. He hadn’t tried much beyond a one-time dandruff treatment. No minoxidil, no PRP, no supplements—nothing structured.
But when he finally received his first Traya kit, he was determined to do everything right. That determination came with one big doubt:
“Can I use a derma roller along with this kit?”
Like many first-time users, Suresh wanted to maximize his results. But he also didn’t want to risk worsening his hair fall.
Confusion Before Starting
When Shraddha, his Traya hair coach, first spoke to him, she explained the basics of his kit:
- Minoxidil serum with dropper – 1ml in the morning and 1ml at night on visible scalp areas.
- Scalp oil + booster shot – Mix the small bottle into the large one, use twice a week, 30 minutes before shampoo.
- Anti-dandruff shampoo – 2–3 times a week.
- Nasal drops – 3 drops in each nostril at night before bed.
- Oral supplements –
- Hair Rush: 2 tablets after breakfast, 2 after dinner.
- Health Tatva: 1 tablet after breakfast, 1 after dinner.
- Hair Vitamin: 1 tablet after breakfast.
- All supplements were herbal and safe.
- If he missed a morning dose, he could take it after lunch.
- Everything had to be taken after meals, never on an empty stomach.
- No prior use of minoxidil.
- No prior derma roller experience.
- Only one past dandruff treatment.
- This was his first time ever starting structured hair treatment.
- Weeks 1–2: Possible shedding due to minoxidil.
- Months 1–2: Improved scalp health, thanks to nasal drops, supplements, and oiling.
- Months 3–4: Reduction in hair fall, stronger roots.
- Months 5 onwards: Visible density and regrowth in thinning areas.
- Daily login tracking – to build consistency.
- Diet plan – to support internal health.
- Reward coins – to earn discounts on next month’s kit.
- Morning: Minoxidil + supplements
- Night: Minoxidil + supplements + nasal drops
- Twice a week: Oil before shampoo
- 2–3 times a week: Anti-dandruff shampoo
- Asking the right questions (like about derma roller use)
- Getting expert guidance before experimenting
- Starting simple and consistent instead of rushing into everything at once
Shraddha reassured him:
This gave Suresh a clear routine. But his main question still remained.
The Big Doubt: Derma Roller
Suresh asked directly:
“Can I use a derma roller along with this treatment?”
Instead of giving a quick yes or no, Shraddha put him on hold and looped in Dr. Meena, a Traya dermatologist.
The doctor carefully assessed his case:
Based on that, Dr. Meena gave him clear advice:
“Since you are just starting minoxidil, your scalp will go through a shedding phase. During this time, it is not advisable to use a derma roller, because it can worsen shedding. After we see your progress over a few months, we can re-evaluate and guide you on using it.”
Why This Matters
This was an important moment for Suresh.
Like many people, he assumed that the more treatments he combined, the better the results. But what he didn’t know is that starting too many interventions at once can sometimes backfire.
By explaining the science of the shedding phase, the doctor reassured him that not using a derma roller right now was not a missed opportunity—it was actually the safer, smarter choice.
Suresh’s response showed his relief:
“I just wanted to know that, whether can I use derma roller or not. As your advice not to use, I will not use it.”
The Roadmap Ahead
With his doubts cleared, Suresh now had a structured 6–8 month roadmap:
Alongside, Shraddha encouraged him to use the Traya app:
Confidence Restored
For Suresh, the biggest change wasn’t just starting treatment—it was starting with clarity.
Before the call, he had doubts and fears: Would shedding mean the treatment wasn’t working? Would adding a derma roller help or harm? Would he even be able to follow such a big kit?
After the call, he left with answers, confidence, and a simple daily routine.
A few minutes a day—yet powerful enough to transform his hair journey.
Why Suresh’s Story Matters
Suresh represents many people who hesitate to start treatment because they fear doing it wrong. But his story shows the importance of:
With Traya, he not only got the products, but also the expert coaching and medical support that guided him at every step.
And most importantly, he started his first ever real treatment with peace of mind—knowing he was on the right track.
