Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless
I read a study a while ago that said 0.6mm was most effective, yet most stuff I read online is using 1.5mm depth. I have wondered if deeper= more trauma and damage to follicles and this would appear to suggest so.
Do you mean the Follica research?
IMO that procedure was usually misunderstood on the hair forums. Calling that procedure "dermarolling" is misleading. They used a dermaroller type of tool and destroyed the top layer of skin. The needle length was shallow but the density of the holes was enormous. The skin wouldn't have any un-poked smooth area left after that. It would be less like poking holes, and more like doing an abrasion wound.

I don't remember tbh. It's difficult to find any consensus on depth duration and frequency for it.Do you mean the Follica research?

It generated a lot of talk on the hair forums because it was real clinical research.
Dermarolling/needling usually falls into two different approaches. You can go shallow (like 0.5mm) and do it more frequently, or go deep (1.5+ mm) and less frequently.
It's pretty damaging to the scalp if you try to combine very deep + frequent.
From what I've seen, I would go with 0.8mm at most. Deeper needles don't seem to be more effective at growing hair.

The fractional laser Folix, developed by Lumenis, is the latest player to enter the wounding space for hair loss treatment. Based on the minimal side-effect profile, it's wounding depth is almost certainly quite shallow, but I'm not sure what the depth is. I also wonder about the wound density with that laser, but I'm not sure about that, either.
