Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community What's the general consensus on microneedling here?
The conversation discusses microneedling for hair loss, focusing on optimal needle depth and frequency. Users report varying practices, with some using Minoxidil after microneedling and others suggesting different depths and frequencies based on personal tolerance.

A user who has had positive results from using a regimen of microneedling, finasteride, minoxidil, peppermint oil, keto shampoo and DHT organic shampoo for hair growth. The conversation also addressed whether to use .5mg or 1mg of finasteride and the difference between dermapens and rollers.
community Are Derma Rollers Actually Harmful in the Long Run?
Derma rollers may cause scarring alopecia, leading some to prefer dermastamps or dermapens for microneedling. Combining minoxidil with microneedling is effective, but proper technique and healing time are essential to prevent damage.
