      in Microneedling  40 upvotes 10 months 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.

      in Microneedling  101 upvotes 1 week ago
      Using a dermaroller can enhance hair regrowth, especially when combined with minoxidil, and is recommended at depths of 0.75-1.5mm weekly. Microneedling boosts absorption and blood flow, and red light therapy is also being considered for hair growth.

      community microneedling, do the gains go away?

      in Microneedling  23 upvotes 3 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.
