So I think I may be doing more harm than good with my dermapen. I am doing the common 1.5 mm once a week, along with minoxidil twice a day (been on it forever, as I have been with finasteride) and my scalp bleeds quite a bit and takes days to heal. In the months I have been doing this, my hair--in the areas I've been microneedling--has gotten thinner and thinner. Even my wife, who is my biggest supporter about this stuff, commented that it did indeed look worse than when I started.

Is it possible that microneedling can do more harm than good, and damage the scalp/hair? I see so many saying no pain, no gain, and while it doesn't really hurt when I do it, it bleeds quite a bit and takes days to heal. Perhaps I should ditch the dermapen and opt for a standard roller and use less pressure? This is kinda freaking me out.

I think collagen induction will make the bleeding not occur as you go along. I don't think microneedling can hurt your hair but I haven't done much derma-stamping and only by using the roller as a stamper but I am no doctor. I like the roller because I control the pressure and really the depth. You might want to switch to a roller. Just for fun, here's pics of me after that one time using the roller by pressing it in:

I remember that the old thread about dermaroller with hundreds of pages full of interesting information was closed because someone posted photos like that

Meaning what? The truth is the truth and while I went deep, it didn't hurt and it was therapeutic and dude asked me about bleeding. Don't try to do this at home, mere mortals.

Why 0.9mm? Seems an arbitrary number.

As Seuxin said it's the Follica protocol. I've been using an M8 every fortnight for the last 6 weeks. I set the depth at .75mm for the top and vertex areas and 1mm for the temporal ones. Btw I use the fastest (i.e. 6) setting each time. I have bruising which lasts for a few days but no bleeding. Overall my scalp feels terrific.

People who use a dermapen at 1.5mm - do you generally go with once a week or once every two weeks?

Right now doing 0.8mm about every two weeks with 1.5mm pass every fourth or sixth week depending on mood. Also a 2.0mm pass once in a while.
Have some idea that 1.5mm+ is better to improve blood flow and create a healthier scalp while 0.8mm might help the actual hair growth better however have no proof this is the case. Having more and longer hair while nice makes it hard to follow progress and optimize treatment. :oops:

I rarely do. a*** pretty much disgusts me unless it's a real man who knows how to take what's his and it's been a while since Janey's had that, sigh but mostly I use the Hitachi Magic Wand until it overheats that one in 365 days occurrence and I, we, like it that way. The bombardment of sexual imagery gave me a nervous breakdown yes related to being fay and gay so to speak.

You are pretty rude so as I make my exit from your hairless one Janeys just saying something akin to a harmless go suck dick dude it's in your future or was it in mine Janey coos. We haven't a clue they says, not a solitary clue but we do gots our hair back and that's enough for all of us "they" janey says and blankly shrugs as janey hasn't a clue nor nary a care in her pretty blondish mop of hair or is it head she said....

Yesterday I did the most heavy dermaroller session(bloody) that I ever did
I used a cheap dermaroller 1.5mm and today my scalp is healthy and without the inflamed and itchy in just few hours later it's insane

I will keep you guys in my results and may give a new update the next three months later

My regime:
Monday & Thrusday: Topical Dutasteride 0.1% 1.5ml

Tuesday & wednesday & Friday & Saturday & Sunday: Topical minoxidil 5% 1ml

Saturday: Heavy needle session(bloody I believe it's needed)



Good luck to all ;)
