Thanks man I don’t use drugs such as minoxidil for hair loss I just used it to help me get a decent beard. I’ll try this in hope of regrowing some temple hair I like to keep my hair buzzed short anyways.
I have found that 36 needles tend to latch on to any exsisting hair that you have on your scalp, and pull it out. I recommend using 12 needles, 36 needles is fine if you have limited hair or hardly none.

@hairliciously The direction for my topical Rogaine Minoxidil says to use 2 a day. Once in the morning and once at night. Are you saying using the microneedling once a week i can reduce my Rogaine Minoxidil to twice a quick? Thank you.
Hey! Thank you for making these videos. Here's what I don't understand: are you applying the dermapen to areas where there is only no hair? I am afraid of cutting my existing hair or causing a shed. Thank you!
@@hairliciously hi-what else can I put on my scalp instead of minoxidil please? Rosemary/ peppermint oil? And before or after needling? Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I began using generic Rogaine in Feb 2019. I do have much new growth; however, my hairs are still fine. I’ve purchased a DermaPen today. I’m looking forward towards greater results. Thx for sharing. 👍🏽
Hey, Hairlish. I just started learning about microneedling, and have been watching your content. I've been meaning to ask people on hair growth communities about the sides of the head and the back, and coincidentally you've covered part of that here in this video. However, what about the back of the head? My specific situation is that, along with thinning on the top, there is a band of scalp starting from one side of the head wrapping around to the back and then to the other side that is thinning due to life stress. You've covered microneedling the side. But any advice on doing the back, since it's hard to reach and hard to see?
For a weekly schedule, when can you use regaine after this? I use it twice a day and want to stick to that. If I was to do this once a week (everyday Sunday) when would I next be able to apply regaine?
Hello, Sr. I have a question, how many needles do the cartridges should have? Because I know that they come with 12 16 32 etc etc. What's the optimal amount for hair growth? Thanx!
What kind of numbing cream would you recommend for putting on your head? If so what is the procedure, could you give a step by step? Does anybody have any suggestions
You can use topical lidocane. Apply a generous amount and place a plastic disposable shower cap on for 15 minutes until area in numb. Take off the cream really well with water, wipe area with alcohol and go to town. You need to work fast so you can do your whole head before numbing cream wears off
I started using the Reactivate serum from liiitlextra for the last month and totally switched from my previous serum for the last two months. It's been wonderfully. I simply use it one time daily with the spray pump that comes with the serum. It's really easy to apply, not oily, and no fragrance. The hair growth results are up till now so good, and it's just one month just and I will keep to apply it.
Question: You said you micro twice a week is that 1.5 twice a week or 1.5 and a mix of something smaller? I know some people micro with .25 everyday before minox but wasn't sure if you could do 1.5 more than once a week
Hey man! Thanks alot for this amazing video. I really need your help. Fin gives me sides and I started min and dermapen 1.5mm. Will it be enough to Maintain my hair? Or only make me regrow it and then shed due to dht?
oribv1324 Use an essential oil blend. I recommend jojoba + rosemary + lavender + liquid caffeine. You need the nutritive and DHT blocking properties in a topical to go along with needling. I wouldn't touch fin anymore and it didn't even give me much in the way of sides. If you are having. Stop taking it if you are. There are many ways to reduce DHT topically without altering your system and losing your chest hair. Hormones run life; fin is not effective enough for most people to justify the disturbance.
@@guyincognito320 can you give me some details on a topical DHT blocking agent that you are using and does it have any erectile dysfunction side effects? TIA
I have a question. I do dermapen 2mm (42 needles) twice weekly (Monday and Friday). I use Dr. Pen Ultima M8. Then I apply topical dutasteride on my scalp after, it stings. Is that normal? Does that mean it works? Btw, I'm taking oral dutasteride .5mg daily as well as using red light therapy helmet. My prescription from Happy Head is: Minoxidil 8%, Dutasteride 0.25%, Tretinoin 0.01% and Hydrocortisone 1%.
Sweat and sun are detrimental after each needeling treatment for up to 2days, or more if particularly sensitive. Also the inflammation created, IS the regenerative building effect. So applying an anti-inflammatory will defeat the purpose. Mention it only because many would apply something soothing right away. Women do this treatment to their faces, and decolatage areas. These are the skin warnings we get to beware of for obtaining the best results, that are stated to occur in 3-6mos. So happy for men to have an opportunity to resolve, what for women is an outright cosmetic disaster.

@@SandBass16 yes agree the more you can do the better but for the such high cost of for a lazer cap I think it would be better spent on extra needles for a derma pen.
I noticed you answered the same question several times but missed some pretty important ones. First question, If you're doing it in a circular motion/dragging the pen, aren't you just damaging/tearing the skin the same way a dermaroller would? Would it not be better to stamp it as opposed to dragging it? Second question is, What to do after the microneedle session? Should I shower to wash any blood off or should I just let it dry and shower the next day? Should I apply anything or is it fine to just let it be? Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!
From my understanding, since the needle is moving vertically in and out it the needle itself isn't actually dragging. Essentially the needle is "stamping " it, you just don't see it because the needle is inside the plastic
@@rmartin6914 yeah I didn't want to continue with the very slow rate I was getting . Luckily I live in So-cal so I went to a top doctor in Tijuana, Mexico and got a hair transplant for better price than here in the US .
Keep going ❤ sending you love success and healing results !😊 you may have heard of these treatments but You should give micro needing pen , PRP therapy with inversion exercises a try helps a ton with blood flow circulation and wakes up follicles also helps new cells to regenerate and start producing more hair also and electric scalp massagers really is a game changer less arm work too just place on target areas apply light pressure don’t rub but move the scalp tissue in a circle motion so you don’t have friction on the area
Just did this for the first time, 1.0 and then kind of worked up to 1.5. Thoughts... - The pain is radically different depending on the area. Different parts of the scalp have different nerve density. The front is more sensitive than the back. The face is virtually pain free at 1.5. I wish the reverse were the case, but whatever. The beard area in particular is like getting a massage, it's nothing. - I do not have any bald areas, just diffuse. Anecdotes point to needling being more efficacious on diffuse hairloss due to 'wave propagation' as hairs kind of communicate with each other. - I do a bit more firm 'stamping' in the small areas of lowest density. The rest of the scalp, I try to 'mow the lawn' with a very steady hand and focus on sections. - Only certain parts of the scalp make you cringe a bit. The pain reaction is largely mental; the human mind can tune out self-immolation as we know, so there's that. - There's a touch and technique involved. I can tell I'll get my technique down to a science over the next couple weeks, for example knowing how to break down sections do it all evenly, and also to know how to put a little English on certain parts of the scalp based on the way I know those parts tend to feel. - For the most part I sat in front of a full length mirror with elbows resting. To get the back I used a hand mirror to see what I was doing. The best thing is to have a bathroom mirror with three panels, the lateral two opened to provide visual for the entire scalp. Glad I got this. I keep a buzz cut most of the time as it suits me well, and just want it to remain looking like a fashion buzz. This is a lot more intense than a dermaroller. You get the full penetration of the needles, whereas rollers allow you to pussyfoot around and not really get in there. And as we know, most rollers are just garbage, spikes on wheels which are mostly ineffective. It's very hard to find a good 1.5 roller that's both 192 count and is actual needles. And you'd spend about 150 every year on those things, so with this you spend hardly more and get a better, more precise instrument. I went with the A6, or whatever the more expensive one is (goes up to 18k rpm)
I have a really imp question . Can one get an infection using this? I'm scared to buy since the needles aren't changed every day . After using once , aren't the needles unsanitary ? Can you explain step by step how to use it ? And Do I need to put alcohol on my scalp before ?
I’m 17 an I’ve been thinning at my temples for about 2 years now. I’ve been taking saw palmetto, using derma roller, just changed how eat (pretty healthy anyway), been using low light laser therapy and various other things. Do you suggest using any minoxidil or sumn like that for my hair line?
Also finesteride to block DHT production once you turn 18 (if there are any laws about that idk). I think I might start dermapinning after this, but I've been doing minoxidil 5% for 1.5 years and saw almost no gains whatsoever; it probably stopped it from getting worse but that's it. I started finesteride at that same time, but found I was sensitive to it and noticed side effects within days of being on it. I stopped it for a while as a result, but I saw a video with a Australian dr.s talking about reducing the dosage of you were sensitive. Basically you can take a smaller dosage everyday or just take the same dose less frequently since it takes time to work out of your system. Its about keeping a certain level in your system. So I began with taking 1mg once every 2 weeks about a year ago, worked up to once a week after a few months, then every 3 days, and now I've been on 1mg once every other day for about 4 months now. Within the last month I started shampooing only once per week, and between that and the higher dosage of finasteride in my system I've actually started to see an entire layer of small translucent hairs growing on my temple sides. I have 0 bald spots, but my entire top is diffuse, which my long hair hides somewhat. Anyway, minox barely helps for me. I think the finesteride is working but it's just so slow coming and after 1.5 years of trying to treat hairloss the lack of results until just recently has been pretty disappointing. I bet if I through in the pen that may help those tiny hairs grow bigger and stronger? Idk, but if I had noticed my thinning hair sooner (didn't because my hair is long and I was keeping it back for work all the time) and had known what I know now, I would have just started with the finesteride (even though I had some side effects the first time around) way back when I was 26 or 27 before the hairloss had really started. I'm 31 and noticed I was thinning at 29 btw.
Recently I have noticed some severe shedding when micro needling (I’ve only been doing it for a month and a bit) and I’m seriously considering g stopping.
I just got the Dr Pen A6. I used the 1.5 setting on my scalp. It hurt like hell. Lots of bleeding. Question: do you hold the pen flush to your scalp? I thought maybe I was doing it wrong. Also, can you use like aspercream to numb your scalp first?
In the video, the dermapen is clearly not adjusted at 1.5mm whe he performs the mocroneedling. Do not be fooled! It is clearly visible that the needles are barely over the plastic guard when he change skull location. You WILL BE BLEEDING AT 1.5MM WITH A DERMAPEN!
@@enzothatguy From what I briefly remember fromthe research I've done and generally speaking, if someone has male pattern baldness it means that their DHT (which is converted from testosterone and that everyone has) will be able to accumulate in the hair follicle and eventually the hairs will not get enough nutrients and die out. One of the ways people deal with this is with finasteride (a drug) which will partially reduce the amount of DHT in the body targeting the primary problem of hairloss. This drug disrupts the natural way the body works so this isn't healthy and can cause serious side effects so please do your research. So people can use microniddling in conjunction with the drug, but alone it isnt really targeting the problem, but can help with bloodflow and maybe other aspects. So if you stop microneedling and using the drug, DHT will continue to go to the hair follicle and making them fall, since this is a natural process for the body of male pattern baldness individuals. Im no professional so please do further research! Hopefully I was able to help!
@@LeGolemdesNeiges Okay, thanks for clarifying! That was much help I know about testosterones part in hairloss a little bit I bought a dermapen but im not gonna take any drugs for hairloss. Theres one you put on top of the air and dont consume but i dont remember what its called now. I wanna try it without the drug and see if I can get bloodflow Its just my hairline thats receeding and I think its beginning to be too noticable now, it needs to stop lmao Thanks for your help tho
What are the difference on your website with 16pin vs 36pins ? Izit the needle ? Or the cartridge ? I also see some other brand selling the cartride with 12, 15, nano needle, so.... which is more effective or recommended for hair scalp ? Thanks !
Been watching your channel for a while and others hair lost channels as well, sadly I learned that to get hair back the only way is really getting one of of those expensive hair transplants. Things like micro needling and Rogain just help you gain like just a ‘tad’ of a hairline, you could get some results when it comes to fullness and thickness , its really sad for me cause I tried so hard with all these methods. Love your videos and your results look great but even you have to admit that you went through 2 operation to get down that hairline finally were its suppose too be. Wish i could afford that too bro, God bless and Ill keeo watching for great tips while I save for hair transplant😂
Forget about hair regrowth and just shave your head totally bald like I have been doing this past summer. It feels great and I don't miss having hair at all.
@@CaneFu ru dumb... the answer is most definitely. If u cool with being bald u wouldn't be watching. So in reality ur not.. just be honest.. u don't gotta lie little buddy
Thanks so much for this! I’m about to start my journey in reviving my temple hair and I’d like to send you an email with my before pics. What’s your addy?
@@jacksonrauch9429 Your original post that was 11 months ago mentioned that you were getting a derma pen - did you get it back then or only a month ago?
Should I be worried about possibly damaging transplanted hairs with the microneedlinf device set at 1.5mm. I was planning on just using the device over the majority of the top of my head. Thanks
Won't moving it in circular motion while the needles are moving up and down dangerous? If it's moved sideways while the needles are in the skin, it'll tear the skin?
hey man I recently got a hair transplant & i’m not taking any medication. I got my head buzzed to do this procedure & noticed that my crown are is a little thinner than the rest of my head along with my temple being very thin. I want to start this process but I don’t want to use medication. Any tips would be greatly appreciated ❤️
My question is when using this in conjunction with minox do the hairs fall back out after you stop using it? Doesn’t that happen normally when you stop using minox ?
HAIRLICIOUSLY okay thank you. Last question do you think peppermint oil could sorta be a substitute for minox without the side effects or losing it later on? I know it’s not as effective though
You can mix Rosemary oil with almond oil it's very effective on blocking DHT instead of using any medicines like finasteride wich is very harmful for your hormones balance especially testostérone
Hi everybody..is it normal in the first months of dermaroller to see some hair falling? Im dermarolling the hairline for 2 months with 0.5mm..2 times a week..no minoxidil or other stuff..only microneedling..thanks!
Great content mate. Question! I've been doing it a few weeks now (dermapen at 1mm). Initially, there was very little bleeding that was sporadic depending on area, however, it now appears to bleed far easier and more evenly. Any idea what this is indicating? Thanks in advance
@@youtubeaddict5663 there's little to no bleeding now but to answer your question, once every fortnight and don't apply anything other than washing earlier that day
@@nessanoconnor3661 you should definitely consider applying some form of serum afterwards, like some form of growth oil. It would be the optimal time to do that as it will penetrate deeper
Just did my first session, but my scalp didn’t really turn red. Nor did it bleed. I felt the pricking during and afterward. Hope I’m doing it right. Also sometimes the hairs get caught and I have to withdraw the device.
I thought I remember you mentioned the follow suggestion in one of your video but I cannot find it again. For the needle cartridge, is it 12-pin better than 36-in due to fewer pins will penerate the scalp easier? Thanks.

is 24 good ?
Yes I read that 12 needles is the best for hair growth / scalp I believe since it penetrates deeper.
Sparkesman true also the needles from 12 are stronger

My pen arrived today and I will start using it in conjunction with LLT and nizoral. Any bit helps in my opinion.
@@SandBass16 sorry I'm talking about llt I use a derma pen myself for micro needling.
macgar100 I don’t mind LLT. To each there own I guess
@@SandBass16 yes agree the more you can do the better but for the such high cost of for a lazer cap I think it would be better spent on extra needles for a derma pen.
Apologies if he addressed this, but how many times per week should you microneedle and for how many minutes?
I’ve heard it’s best to do once a week at 1.5. In a circular motion go over the targeted area 2-3 times. Wait 24 hours to apply any sort of minoxidil.
How about a video on the Dermastamp and Dermaroller? Thanks
do you use minoxidil 5% twice a day and once a day this demaroling/microbleending?
I noticed you answered the same question several times but missed some pretty important ones.
First question, If you're doing it in a circular motion/dragging the pen, aren't you just damaging/tearing the skin the same way a dermaroller would? Would it not be better to stamp it as opposed to dragging it?
Second question is, What to do after the microneedle session? Should I shower to wash any blood off or should I just let it dry and shower the next day? Should I apply anything or is it fine to just let it be?
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!
These are my same questions too
From my understanding, since the needle is moving vertically in and out it the needle itself isn't actually dragging. Essentially the needle is "stamping " it, you just don't see it because the needle is inside the plastic
How often do you replace the needles?
Same question.
What to do when there is bleeding?
Should I wash it or let it dry?
Thanks , just got my dermapen in the mail .
Have you notice any benefits?
@@rmartin6914 yeah I didn't want to continue with the very slow rate I was getting . Luckily I live in So-cal so I went to a top doctor in Tijuana, Mexico and got a hair transplant for better price than here in the US .

Keep going ❤ sending you love success and healing results !😊 you may have heard of these treatments but
You should give micro needing pen , PRP therapy with inversion exercises a try helps a ton with blood flow circulation and wakes up follicles also helps new cells to regenerate and start producing more hair also and electric scalp massagers really is a game changer less arm work too just place on target areas apply light pressure don’t rub but move the scalp tissue in a circle motion so you don’t have friction on the area
Can you wash your head right after with soap or wait 24hrs?
Just did this for the first time, 1.0 and then kind of worked up to 1.5. Thoughts...
- The pain is radically different depending on the area. Different parts of the scalp have different nerve density. The front is more sensitive than the back. The face is virtually pain free at 1.5. I wish the reverse were the case, but whatever. The beard area in particular is like getting a massage, it's nothing.
- I do not have any bald areas, just diffuse. Anecdotes point to needling being more efficacious on diffuse hairloss due to 'wave propagation' as hairs kind of communicate with each other.
- I do a bit more firm 'stamping' in the small areas of lowest density. The rest of the scalp, I try to 'mow the lawn' with a very steady hand and focus on sections.
- Only certain parts of the scalp make you cringe a bit. The pain reaction is largely mental; the human mind can tune out self-immolation as we know, so there's that.
- There's a touch and technique involved. I can tell I'll get my technique down to a science over the next couple weeks, for example knowing how to break down sections do it all evenly, and also to know how to put a little English on certain parts of the scalp based on the way I know those parts tend to feel.
- For the most part I sat in front of a full length mirror with elbows resting. To get the back I used a hand mirror to see what I was doing. The best thing is to have a bathroom mirror with three panels, the lateral two opened to provide visual for the entire scalp.
Glad I got this. I keep a buzz cut most of the time as it suits me well, and just want it to remain looking like a fashion buzz.
This is a lot more intense than a dermaroller. You get the full penetration of the needles, whereas rollers allow you to pussyfoot around and not really get in there. And as we know, most rollers are just garbage, spikes on wheels which are mostly ineffective. It's very hard to find a good 1.5 roller that's both 192 count and is actual needles. And you'd spend about 150 every year on those things, so with this you spend hardly more and get a better, more precise instrument.
I went with the A6, or whatever the more expensive one is (goes up to 18k rpm)
That was a lot

If I purchase the Dr. Pen on your site, is it safe to use the included needles out of the box or do I need to sanitize those aswell?
You can use it right out of the box.
I have a really imp question . Can one get an infection using this? I'm scared to buy since the needles aren't changed every day . After using once , aren't the needles unsanitary ? Can you explain step by step how to use it ? And Do I need to put alcohol on my scalp before ?
@@gerryjunpyo2462 each time you needle you must use a new needle. Old needles should be discarded into a sharps container.
My hair length at the top is like yours. Do I cut it shorter to use the pen? Or it won’t cut strains of hair?
Are 12 pines all right for microneedling the scalp?
I’m 17 an I’ve been thinning at my temples for about 2 years now. I’ve been taking saw palmetto, using derma roller, just changed how eat (pretty healthy anyway), been using low light laser therapy and various other things. Do you suggest using any minoxidil or sumn like that for my hair line?
I would recommend minoxidil 5%. Its known to give better results esp with microneedling
Also finesteride to block DHT production once you turn 18 (if there are any laws about that idk). I think I might start dermapinning after this, but I've been doing minoxidil 5% for 1.5 years and saw almost no gains whatsoever; it probably stopped it from getting worse but that's it. I started finesteride at that same time, but found I was sensitive to it and noticed side effects within days of being on it. I stopped it for a while as a result, but I saw a video with a Australian dr.s talking about reducing the dosage of you were sensitive. Basically you can take a smaller dosage everyday or just take the same dose less frequently since it takes time to work out of your system. Its about keeping a certain level in your system. So I began with taking 1mg once every 2 weeks about a year ago, worked up to once a week after a few months, then every 3 days, and now I've been on 1mg once every other day for about 4 months now. Within the last month I started shampooing only once per week, and between that and the higher dosage of finasteride in my system I've actually started to see an entire layer of small translucent hairs growing on my temple sides. I have 0 bald spots, but my entire top is diffuse, which my long hair hides somewhat. Anyway, minox barely helps for me. I think the finesteride is working but it's just so slow coming and after 1.5 years of trying to treat hairloss the lack of results until just recently has been pretty disappointing. I bet if I through in the pen that may help those tiny hairs grow bigger and stronger? Idk, but if I had noticed my thinning hair sooner (didn't because my hair is long and I was keeping it back for work all the time) and had known what I know now, I would have just started with the finesteride (even though I had some side effects the first time around) way back when I was 26 or 27 before the hairloss had really started. I'm 31 and noticed I was thinning at 29 btw.
@@seattlesoundisgrunge why don’t you try topical fin mixed with minoxidil? Heard of huge success with that
Recently I have noticed some severe shedding when micro needling (I’ve only been doing it for a month and a bit) and I’m seriously considering g stopping.
Pea Tear Sand did you continue? Im scared to microneedle
How about for facial hair, depth and frequency thoughts?
Can you use it on scalp and face on the same time or do you think it should be sterilized after doing one
I just got the Dr Pen A6. I used the 1.5 setting on my scalp. It hurt like hell. Lots of bleeding. Question: do you hold the pen flush to your scalp? I thought maybe I was doing it wrong. Also, can you use like aspercream to numb your scalp first?
Wonder why. I heard bleeding is very rare. How were you doing it?
@@matvei15 hi how do you sanitize the needles? Also how many needles in one cartridge?
In the video, the dermapen is clearly not adjusted at 1.5mm whe he performs the mocroneedling. Do not be fooled! It is clearly visible that the needles are barely over the plastic guard when he change skull location. You WILL BE BLEEDING AT 1.5MM WITH A DERMAPEN!
How long do you recommend doing this? I've seen some good results for a year but how much is recommended.
I think if you want to keep the results you need to continue doing it forever (I'm not a dermatologist).
I want to know as well
@@LeGolemdesNeiges Forever? So the hair that grows out falls out again or what?
@@enzothatguy From what I briefly remember fromthe research I've done and generally speaking, if someone has male pattern baldness it means that their DHT (which is converted from testosterone and that everyone has) will be able to accumulate in the hair follicle and eventually the hairs will not get enough nutrients and die out. One of the ways people deal with this is with finasteride (a drug) which will partially reduce the amount of DHT in the body targeting the primary problem of hairloss. This drug disrupts the natural way the body works so this isn't healthy and can cause serious side effects so please do your research. So people can use microniddling in conjunction with the drug, but alone it isnt really targeting the problem, but can help with bloodflow and maybe other aspects. So if you stop microneedling and using the drug, DHT will continue to go to the hair follicle and making them fall, since this is a natural process for the body of male pattern baldness individuals. Im no professional so please do further research! Hopefully I was able to help!
@@LeGolemdesNeiges Okay, thanks for clarifying! That was much help
I know about testosterones part in hairloss a little bit
I bought a dermapen but im not gonna take any drugs for hairloss. Theres one you put on top of the air and dont consume but i dont remember what its called now. I wanna try it without the drug and see if I can get bloodflow
Its just my hairline thats receeding and I think its beginning to be too noticable now, it needs to stop lmao
Thanks for your help tho
What are the difference on your website with 16pin vs 36pins ? Izit the needle ? Or the cartridge ?
I also see some other brand selling the cartride with 12, 15, nano needle, so.... which is more effective or recommended for hair scalp ? Thanks !
How long should we wait to shower after microneedling?
I use minoxidil once a day because its to sticky to use it during the day. Is this still helpfull?
Im thinking of just using once a day, its so annoying, drys my hair
The doctor in the original minoxidil study days once a day is good! Half life is 21 hours
Been watching your channel for a while and others hair lost channels as well, sadly I learned that to get hair back the only way is really getting one of of those expensive hair transplants. Things like micro needling and Rogain just help you gain like just a ‘tad’ of a hairline, you could get some results when it comes to fullness and thickness , its really sad for me cause I tried so hard with all these methods. Love your videos and your results look great but even you have to admit that you went through 2 operation to get down that hairline finally were its suppose too be. Wish i could afford that too bro, God bless and Ill keeo watching for great tips while I save for hair transplant😂
Forget about hair regrowth and just shave your head totally bald like I have been doing this past summer. It feels great and I don't miss having hair at all.
@@CaneFu then why u on this channel reminiscing over ur hair lol

Should I be worried about possibly damaging transplanted hairs with the microneedlinf device set at 1.5mm. I was planning on just using the device over the majority of the top of my head. Thanks
Are you using it only on bald areas or everywhere? Surely you have to do the whole scalp above the ridge
Won't moving it in circular motion while the needles are moving up and down dangerous? If it's moved sideways while the needles are in the skin, it'll tear the skin?
i was thinking the same..
hey man I recently got a hair transplant & i’m not taking any medication. I got my head buzzed to do this procedure & noticed that my crown are is a little thinner than the rest of my head along with my temple being very thin.

I read 2-3 times. I wouldn't use it more than 2 times.
@@SchibbiSchibbi why? just wash it with alcohol.
You're supposed to only use them once.
My question is when using this in conjunction with minox do the hairs fall back out after you stop using it? Doesn’t that happen normally when you stop using minox ?
there is a high possibility with any hair loss meds. Once you stop, you may lose all that you have gained. it has to be a life long commitment.
HAIRLICIOUSLY okay thank you. Last question do you think peppermint oil could sorta be a substitute for minox without the side effects or losing it later on? I know it’s not as effective though
You can mix Rosemary oil with almond oil it's very effective on blocking DHT instead of using any medicines like finasteride wich is very harmful for your hormones balance especially testostérone
Can you use a microneedling that is of the roller type?
Hi everybody..is it normal in the first months of dermaroller to see some hair falling? Im dermarolling the hairline for 2 months with 0.5mm..2 times a week..no minoxidil or other stuff..only microneedling..thanks!
Great content mate. Question! I've been doing it a few weeks now (dermapen at 1mm). Initially, there was very little bleeding that was sporadic depending on area, however, it now appears to bleed far easier and more evenly. Any idea what this is indicating? Thanks in advance
How often are you using it? What do you put on your scalp before and after microneedling?
@@youtubeaddict5663 there's little to no bleeding now but to answer your question, once every fortnight and don't apply anything other than washing earlier that day
@@nessanoconnor3661 you should definitely consider applying some form of serum afterwards, like some form of growth oil. It would be the optimal time to do that as it will penetrate deeper
@@youtubeaddict5663 I read that's too intense and that you should wait at least 24 hrs afterwards??
@@nessanoconnor3661 If you're using Minoxidil then yeah you're supposed to wait 24-hours, but that doesn't apply to oils or serums
Just did my first session, but my scalp didn’t really turn red. Nor did it bleed. I felt the pricking during and afterward. Hope I’m doing it right. Also sometimes the hairs get caught and I have to withdraw the device.
if it's on an area where you still have a lot of hair left, i would recommend using the 12 needle pin versus the 36.
HAIRLICIOUSLY used the 12 pin. Worked better ) thanks
I'm gonna try this with rosemary oil, how long after micro needling can u apply oil?
I thought I remember you mentioned the follow suggestion in one of your video but I cannot find it again. For the needle cartridge, is it 12-pin better than 36-in due to fewer pins will penerate the scalp easier? Thanks.
