"warts" is not a common reaction to microneedling, just mild erythema or pinpoint bleeding and skin turnover

Could be inflammation? Make sure to clean your scalp and needling device before wounding and see if it resolves itself after a while.

Study July 2022

Effects of microneedling with 5% minoxidil topical solution combination therapy in treatment of androgenetic alopecia - PubMed
The combination of the length of 1.5 mm MN and 5% minoxidil in the treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia showed efficacy with high safety, which is worthy of clinical application.

So... i've been experiencing something weird these past couple of days. I've been microneedling at 1.25mm, once a week, each Sunday. for the past 4 months i've been doing it weekly. Now, when I got to work, i have to walk several blocks. when i go to meetings, i have to leave the office and walk several blocks to a subway station. i find that when i'm in the sun, i feel tingling in my scalp. when i finally reach my destination, and i'm inside a building, the tingling goes away.
anybody else feel this? Is it in my head only? is it my skin now being too sensitive to the sun? am i fucked???

Open-wounds are sensitive to UV rays. You are supposed to avoid sun-exposure for a few days after microneedling because of this, otherwise it's bad for your health.

yeah, but i gotta walk to work. i have to walk several blocks to get lunch. do i now have to wear a hat each time i go outside? When i go out into the sun, i feel the tingling immediately. When i get to the shade, the tingling goes away pretty quickly. is the effect by UV rays THAT quick?
I thought "avoiding sun exposure" meant avoid being in the sun for hours. I'm talking like 5 or 10 minutes when walking to lunch.
Maybe I should decrease to .8mm. My scalp doesn't even get red at 1.25mm. no bleeding, no redness. and i'm still feeling sensitive to UV rays??

Does 'bad for your health' imply skin cancer??

Just wear a hat for those 5-10mins, only required for maybe 1-2 days after your microneedling session.
I think it's just bad for your skin, as it's what I've seen recommended from various sources. I'd assumed there were some negative health consequences too but I think I was mistaken, since i just had another look and couldn't find such a reference.

One of my biggest concerns of "Pens" is that there's pretty much no studies done compared to dermarollers, on the lowest reps we're talking 200+ RPM. Rolling across your skin until redness is not the same when you think about it, since the pens do even at the lowest RPM, 200 thrusts per second or so. If you keep it in one spot, i guess since the hole is already there from the first thrusts, it wouldn't matter too much, but if you glide it across the skin, wouldn't t his 'harm' the skin too much compared to a roller? Since you're pretty much making a straight line rather than 'dots'.
They work and are easier to use than the rollers, but i personally would be careful about using them around parts where you still have hair.

He made racist comments toward other species of birds in a non-inclusive way. I reported him for not respecting the whole fauna.

I recently got a derminator and started off with 0.75mm after reading this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32897622/Study July 2022

They found 0.6mm was more effective than 1.2mm. Most forum posts I've seen everyone is going deeper but according to this, that's excessive.

That's because to get the effectiveness of depths of .6mm you need it to be done with professional tools. We use dermapens and stamps and rollers. we can't do what the studies show with our garbage tools, so we have to go deeper.

Did another session last night at 0.75mm. Managed 15 mins before my arm needed a rest and managed another 10 min or so after a rest. No idea how people manage an hour though - that was plenty and drew a little blood I could see at the front.
