      community Weird response to microneedling

      in Microneedling  42 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      Microneedling can cause sneezing and eye tearing due to nerve stimulation, particularly near the temples and forehead. Some users find it lessens over time, while others prefer using finasteride and minoxidil for hair growth.

      community microneedling, do the gains go away?

      in Microneedling  23 upvotes 2 years ago
      Microneedling promotes hair growth by increasing circulation and collagen production, with gains potentially lasting longer than those from minoxidil. Some users report sustained results after stopping microneedling, unlike with minoxidil and finasteride.
