If I use the dabber applicator, how can I be sure I’m using approximately 1 mL of minoxidil or Xandrox® solution?
A. You can’t be sure. However, the exact amount of solution used is not critical and most patients have sufficient experience to estimate the amount of coverage that 1 mL affords on the scalp. It is only important to moisten the scalp in the area(s) of thinning and/or recession. Generally, four passes of the dabber over the scalp, from side to side, equal approximately 1 mL of solution.
