How to Use NovaMane™ Micro-Infusion System

Complete Step-by-Step Instructions for Maximum Hair Regrowth

Phase 1: Preparation (5 minutes)

Step 1: Cleanse Your Scalp

Wash your hair with a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo. This removes oils, product buildup, and bacteria that could interfere with absorption. Pat your scalp completely dry with a clean towel - the micro-channels work best on clean, dry skin.

Pro tip: Wait 10-15 minutes after washing to ensure your scalp is completely dry.

🌟 Perfect Pair: Use our Regen™ Shampoo before micro-infusion treatments. Its clinical-grade formula clears buildup, balances scalp pH, and deposits copper peptides—priming your scalp for maximum serum absorption and better results.

Step 2: Sanitize Your Device (After Each Use)

Brand new cartridges come pre-sterilized and are ready to use immediately. After each treatment, soak the needle head in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes, then shake off excess and let air dry for 30 seconds before storing.

Cartridge lifespan: We recommend replacing cartridges every 3-5 treatments for optimal performance, with a maximum of 15 treatments per cartridge. Replace immediately if dropped, bent, or dull. Never share needle cartridges between users.

Step 3: Pre-Treatment Dry Needling

Perform a dry micro-needling pass across your entire treatment area. Roll in multiple directions (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal) with firm, consistent pressure, stamping about 4-6 passes per section.

Why this matters: Dry needling creates thousands of micro-channels in your scalp without wasting a single drop of serum. This primes your skin and opens pathways for absorption so when you apply your formula, every drop penetrates deep where it's needed instead of sitting on the surface.

Pro tip: You should feel slight pressure but not pain. If needles feel dull or tugging occurs, replace your cartridge.

Step 4: Prepare Your Serum

Remove one NovaMane serum vial from the kit. Each vial contains 2.5ml of our 25-ingredient formula - enough for approximately 5 treatments (~0.5ml per session). Gently tap the vial to ensure liquid is at the bottom, then twist off the cap.

Pro tip: Only pour what you need per session (~0.5ml) so the rest of the vial stays sealed, clean, and fresh for future treatments.

Phase 2: Device Setup (2 minutes)

Step 4: Fill the Applicator

Twist off the needle head and carefully pour ~0.5ml of serum (approximately 1/5 of the vial) into the applicator chamber. Put the needle head back on the device to seal it.

Important: Each 2.5ml vial provides 5 treatments when using the recommended 0.5ml per session. Store remaining serum in a cool, dry place.

Step 5: Prime the System

Hold the device upside down and gently stamp the head on a tissue 2-3 times. This primes the micro-channels and ensures serum flows evenly through all 0.5mm needles. You'll see the tissue become slightly damp - this means your device is ready.

Important: If serum doesn't appear after several stamps, check that you've added serum to the chamber and try again.

Phase 3: Treatment Application (3-10 minutes)

Step 6: Section Your Scalp

Part hair to expose target zones (hairline, crown, temples, part line). Working systematically ensures complete coverage without missing spots.

Step 7: Begin Stamping

Place the device perpendicular to your scalp and press down with moderate pressure - firm enough to feel the needles but not painful. Stamp straight down in a grid pattern. As tolerated, build to 2-3 rounds with 25-50% overlap. Don't drag or twist.

Stamping Pattern Guide:

  • Coverage: Overlap each stamp by 25-50% for thorough coverage
  • Direction: Work in systematic grid pattern across treatment area
  • Pressure: Apply consistent, moderate pressure (firm but not painful)
  • Speed: Stamp-lift-move takes about 2 seconds per position
  • Passes: 1-3 passes per area depending on tolerance (start with 1 pass first session)

Step 8: Target Problem Areas

Pay special attention to areas with the most hair loss, such as the crown, hairline, and temples. For diffuse thinning, maintain consistent coverage across the entire treatment area with 25-50% overlap.

Phase 4: Post-Treatment Care

Step 9: Let the Serum Absorb

After stamping, if there is any remaining serum in the device, pour it out and gently massage it into your scalp for 30 seconds to enhance circulation and distribution. The micro-channels remain open for 30-60 minutes, maximizing absorption of our copper peptides, caffeine, and growth factors.

Critical: Don't rinse for 8-12 hours; skip heat styling for 2 hours after treatment.

Step 10: Clean Your Device

After use, remove the needle head and rinse under warm water. Soak in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes, then air dry completely before storing. We recommend replacing cartridges every 3-5 treatments for optimal performance, with a maximum of 15 treatments per cartridge.

Storage tip: Store remaining serum in the vial in a cool, dry place for your next treatment.

Treatment Schedule

Recommended Protocol:

  • Week 1: Use once to test tolerance
  • Week 2: Use twice (with at least one rest day between)
  • Week 3+: Start using every other day (with at least one rest day between sessions)
  • Maintenance: Continue every other day for optimal results
  • Best time: Evening application for overnight absorption

Remember: Each 2.5ml vial provides approximately 5 treatments at 0.5ml per session

What to Expect

During Treatment:

  • Mild tingling or warmth (normal and indicates activation)
  • Slight redness for 1-2 hours (sign of increased blood flow)
  • No bleeding or visible marks with proper 0.5mm depth

Results Timeline:
