Can I use the dermaroller after a hair transplant??
I personally wouldnt for atleast 5 months because your donor zone hairs need time to adjust to their new location. We are still not sure of the full implications of dermarolling. A hair transplant is a costly procedure, and I would err on the side of caution in this case.Can I use the dermaroller after a hair transplant??
What depth for your face?It does. I've dermarolled my face three or four times in a 4 month period and big wrinkles I had are far less deep. I use a 0.5mm one around my eyes and it gets rid of dark circles almost instantly.
Could you be more precise about what you did please, it would be helpful ? What was the frequency ? How long did you did that ? Lenght of the needles ? Did you use Minoxidil? Any result from this ?
Thanks
are you maintaining with derminator alone? thanksYou can look up my previous posts, they had pics as well. I was using dermaroller with 192 pins, I used Minoxidil for many years which only slowed down progression a bit. I got some results but nothing really surprising, but I blame myself for not being consistent and not handling pain. Derminator should make it easier. I don’t use Minoxidil nowadays and made me shed quite a bit when I stopped, but I could include it again if needed, but for now it’ll be derminator alone.

Same reason I stopped minoxidil, had a massive shed when I first stopped... Not fun!You can look up my previous posts, they had pics as well.

How long do you take for each session
I do it in 2 minutes, but i dont do the whole scalp anymoreI’d say between 5 and 10 minutes. Just make sure all areas are red.
Takes me around 20-25 mins. I do horizontal vertical and diagonal on whole scalp. No idea how this can be done in 5-10 mins.
Yes, 24 hours after derma roller.Perfect thank you
This is after 24 hours right and you went with a 1.5 dermastemp?
A short update on my experience with scalp massage as stand alone treatment since 2 weeks.
Of course nothing to see which is why i do not post any picture. But when i started the massaging i lost about 20 hair per massage (mostly hair that were shorter than my haircut and very thin aka miniaturized hair). After 2 weeks and in sum about 350 minutes of massaging i m loosing about 2-3 hair per massage.
Either the massages riped out all the weak hair and that is why i do not loose any of those anymore (my hairline is stil full of tiny hair) so this is quite unlikely. The other explaination is, the masage strengthen the scalp skin or the hair roots (which is quite fast after 2 weeks) will go one for one or two weeks with scalp massaging allone and will add then microneedling and trinov to the massages.
Another thing i started 3 weeks ago is excercising with my head below heart level.
2x a week 4 sets of benchpress with head below heart niveau with 100kg and 6 reps.
2x a week 4 sets of benchpress reversed grip with head below heart niveau with 80kg and 8 reps.
so in total 4 times a week a lot of blood is pumped into my head (directly after each set my head looks like a giant tomato) my thought on that is that this increases the blood flow and therefore delivers the needed nutritions to the hair follicle. Does anyone have an educated guess if that could help with hairloss. (If not i read it is good for your heart so i will go on with it i m just curious if i do my hair any good with that)
Does anyone here use a 'derminator?' Does it have any real advantage over one of the pens? I can't seem to find a source for purchasing the Derminator online...

Hey, I've been applying copious amounts of minoxidil to my eyebrow, and leaving it on 24/7. Could that have an effect on my scalp hair now that I've cease using? My hair looks unusually thin, and I haven't shed.Only because my GF does it......so she can see exactly what areas are being done and makes sure its all red....doing it myself would definitely take longer.
I just finish it off along my hair line.
I think there’s only one source which is the “official” one. I won’t post it but it’s very easy to find.
The advantage is less scarring and perhaps just faster to get it dibd, but objectively speaking you might not need it. I bought it because I’m overly cautious but I dermarolled with a cheap chinese roller in the past and had no scars whatsoever (a lot of pain though), so a dermapen isn’t going to kill you probably.
I found this https://owndoc.shop/Dermaneedling/Derminator digital needling device/Derminator 2/DERMINATOR 2 digi-needler (US plug)/
Did you get the Derminator 2? What's the difference between 1 & 2? Also - I remember reading that this device is several thousand $? It's £150 here.
Thank you.
