Microneedling only - is it enough or not

[Microneedleonly]

thoughts on how often to microneedle/what depth?

I’ve been doing once every 3 weeks with 1.5mm because I’m scared about scarring if I do it more frequently.

Also do you think microneedling can be enough to stop androgenic alopecia?

It’s a plus but not enough

It's hard to find a definitive protocol for it. I found one study that said 0.6mm depth was better than 1mm, but people on forums think deeper= better. It seems like it stimulates blood flow and healing but also possibly allows better penetration of topicals. I'm wondering if actually more frequently and of less duration might be better, but as with everything in this battle, it's hard to know without doing it for a long period with no other variables.

I use .5mm & 1.5 mm … that’s all you can do. It’s another plus.. but in of itself it isn’t enough…
