For me it's the opposite, the pain is worse where my hair is worse. Probably because there's less hair in the way. I think people just need to find the right depth for them. I like the idea of going just deep enough to get some pinpoint bleeding, which for me is 1.5mm. I don't know what you needle with, but it hurts more at higher speeds, and the device you use matters too because some won't actually penetrate as deep as what you set it at.
Interesting. I have a feeling that microneedling + post-needling compounds are going to be a subject of more research in the future. I'm gonna try and go deeper than 1.6mm.

Yes, it's all about applying the right compounds at the right time after wounding. I worry about scarring if you needle deeper than 1.5mm without using an shh agonist. Wnts alone aren't enough to prevent scarring wounds, you have to have shh.

Hey, I tried topical min twice in the past (6month each time) and was a nonresponder. I am currently on 5mg oral and was wondering if microneedling synergizes with oral min. It seems that it is mostly used to improve absorption of topical, so not sure if its very beneficial with oral. Any thoughts on maybe apply topical min 1/week, day after microneedling? Or just stick to oral, feel like I'm missing out on this synergy people are getting.

can u get infection if u microneedle at 0.7mm with dirty needle ?

It's highly unlikely you could get an infection from a roller/pen even if you don't disinfect, but you should sterilize it with alcohol or something anyway, might as well

Probably.. I have a small red lump on my scalp.. looks like Folliculitis.. I use hair fibres so it looks like between them and the dermapen it caused it.

It definitely is.. flaky skin and shiny pus like on top.. I’m going to the dr next week for his opinion.. could need antibiotics
Same thing happened to me in a temple. Just stop needling that área for some time it will go away

I couldn't watch the whole 7 minutes, but I noticed pinpoint bleeding. I really hate how everything today has to be a video. It takes minutes to watch things that could be read, or pictures that could be viewed, in seconds.

Wow, amazing results, but I could have done without the dramatic soundtrack. Do we know how often he microneedles?

Interesting.. al lot of the people having fantastic results seem to microneedle very frequently. I have been microneedling once every two weeks at 1mm for 3 months now, but perhaps I should do it more frequently.
