So I've got my dermapen but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing and some of the info I've read online is confusing.
There's plenty of youtube videos telling how to use a derma roller but hardly any about the dermapen. I understand it's a slightly different technique with the pen but do I just hold it over each area for a few seconds or do I move it in a circular motion (and for how long)? Also should I just use it in the thinning areas or my whole scalp?
A lot of people say 1.5 needle is best for hair loss but others say 1.5 or higher could be dangerous and should only be done by under expert supervision. Thoughts? Is a 12 or 36 needle best?
What's the best cream/serum to use afterwards or is this unnecessary?
Thanks.
