Where does everybody get their 12 needle cartridges for the Derminator 2?
Has anyone tried using the Dr. Pen needles off Amazon with their Derminator 2? I know Own Doctor says not to but they look identical and I think it's just a way for them to draw you into buying their expensive needles.
Any input would be appreciated.

Re: A6 CARTRIDGE w/ D2
Please see my "D2 Vs A6" mini-review, where this very question has been analyzed:

Yes. I attribute this to the layer of skin shedding.
It becomes dry, tight and a bit itchy until I get rid of the flakes. That takes a couple days if aggressively get rid of them, or longer if don't. I usually use a fine-toothed comb to help accelerate the peeling. After all that... Day 6/7 or so - no more itching once the peeling is done.
I also get this, about 3-4 days after needling as well. Strangely, this has almost subsided in the last 2 weeks (consider that I've been needling for 4.5 months)

Thank you. Do you think there's any way for me to use A6 Cartridges with the D2 to get any deeper than 1.5mm safely (2.5mm D2 depth - 1mm difference in cartridge depth = 1.5mm)?
I get no itch or flakes either. I didn't shed at all on minoxidil and needling. However I'm getting decent results so far.

I'm going to test needling more often to see the impact it has on my results
I'm going to do 2mm then wait 4 days (or until my scalp is no longer sore) and then needle 1.25mm wait for 4 days and back to the 2mm
Maybe keeping our scalps in a constant state of healing will get better results
minoxidil 2 x a day
I'll keep the thread updated with the results

Re: A6 CARTRIDGE w/ D2
The short answer is NO.
If you wanted it really, Really, REALLY badly, the easiest way would probably be grinding 1mm off the plastic cylinder that surrounds the A6 needles w/ a grade 400-800 sandpaper on a flat surface - BUT I do NOT recommend it for obvious reasons:
hygiene, needle damage risks etc. - you are putting those needles in your scalp after all...
Furthermore, 1.5mm is probably enough for our purpose:
if PROPERLY pressing the Cartridge against my scalp, I get PLENTY of blood spots @1.5mm...
And finally, if you still need more depth and the D2 cartridges are prohibitively expensive, I consider it a better option properly sanitizing & reusing the originals than grinding the A6's w/ the procedure above.
Whatever route you take - stay safe & wound those lazy follicles till they run out to the light!

This is not some magic pill dumbass. It works differently for everyone and obviously those who still have hair (diffuse) will probably see results earlier as they have showed. It takes time and it's all individual, but at the very least it does keep your hair healthy and possibly even maintains (still early to know 100% sure but other users have done it for years and still have their hair so there's that).
Sorry but I can't say whether you'd be better to stop finasteride or not. Just get the cheapest one you can find off Amazon or Ebay. A wired dermapen should cost $25 - 30.

How are even coming back to this thread like you have been proven right? LOL
you have been proven wrong, this is working for loads of us ( with at least 20 individual cases with photos to prove it) and it's working better than ANY current treatment at a fraction of the price with NO SIDES.. you just mad because you was wrong?
I'm on track for full regrowth and it's only been 3 months, I bet your so happy for me, thanks for asking
100% this guy has bought a pen and started following what we are doing

6 month mark is around the corner homeslice. Don't forget to come laugh at us because we "piped the f*** down" with no pictures posted!
Or was it the year mark? You changed it everytime, so kinda hard to tell...
Either way, see ya then!

So Chen is rolling twice a day for 5 minutes ON THE ENTIRE HEAD? Including the back and the side? Not only on the balder area (front/crown/top of the head)? That would show that the stress created on the skin is quite soft. Not only not bleeding, but also passing on the same spot probably twice of three times max. This also explain how he can handle the 14 times a week rolling routine.
Chen also said that he started doing it ONCE per day, and when he felt the body got adapted to this frequency, he started doing it twice a day.So Chen's frequency can be reached only after some time. I personally wound at 2.0mm (just started last month) once every ten days, wait the skin to be totally healed (4 days) and then roll at 1mm once per day until the next deep wounding rolling.
