You shouldn't have an issue if you have proper hygiene, but yeah... Goddamn.

No way! I order a lot of stuff to the UK that could be stopped, but I've never had an issue.
Where are you based? Maybe order the Derminator if you are not too bothered about the cost.
Do you think these needles get blunt after a while.I was thinking about getting a 6 or 9 pin cartilage for easier penetration

Bluntness is less of a concern because of the less traumatic nature of the pen as opposed to the potential for tearing with a roller. The thinness of the needle keeps the wound tiny so it's still effective. Bluntness could possibly cause more pain-as we know from cutting ourselves with a dull knife or razor compared to a very sharp one.
Most important is the integrity of the steel in these needles, that is how long can they used and chemically treated (Chloramine T as rec. by Vaughters derminator) before one of the 12 needles breaks off in your head. I would be good to know what the alloy is in these things and what is used in the base to secure the needles the cartridge. I was going to email the Derminator people and ask but haven't had time yet. Seems like they have a huge upshot in sales because of this forum and these questions are reasonable and should readily be addressed by them.

I dermaroll for nearly 2 years I never had any issues.. and I go 1,5mm... Some here have been using this for 5years and more...
like said above, hygienne is key. But I will also add you have to let the skin recovers. Min 7days.
If you really fear the use you can go to a dermatologist, esthetician... you will find some who use far more advanced devices than us: such as fractional radiofrequency microneedling which is a bonus because its too expensive to buy but you will find some who offer just dermastamp sessions but since you can do it yourself.....

Small hair on my temples are definitely growing. But it's mostly on my left temple for some reason? I think I need to take a picture with a dslr camera or something just to get a better look.

I am using the Derminator at 2mm, I cleaned my cartridges with alcohol wipes and a little hand sanitizer.
I don’t have a problem needling myself, was just unsure about the hygiene aspect.

I am not sure about the woman on that picture, but yeah, hygiene is super important.
About microneedling the face. To be as safe as possible, wash your face beforehand. Make sure it's clean. Then use new sterilized needles every single time. Spray some alcohol on that sh*t just to be safe. Do not apply anything on your face afterwards. Just let the redness go away by itself. Shouldn't be a problem if you do it this way.
Same goes when you do it on your scalp.

My hair loss is more advanced on my right temple. Maybe it's the same for you and that's why?
Great idea. I'd do the same, but I'm probably too broke to afford it.

I’m not sure about all that, all I know is how my scalp feels a few hours after eating junk food. It doesn’t happen when I’m on my green smoothie and Vit B complex.

I do my forehead before my scalp as I have deep lines on there, but I wipe my face and scalp with the alcohol wipes beforehand.
How about your hair has it thickened overall since needling

Honestly I am not sure. I started needling with a shaved head about 1,5 months ago so my hair is still pretty short at the moment. I think I'll have a better ideas when it grows out a bit more. At the moment I would say it does feel thicker and looks darker, but still too early.
