I had been derma rolling (0.5 mm) every day since i got it about a year and a half ago. I didn't research enough when I first got it so I thought I was supposed to do it every day.
After about 6 months of doing it every day (most times twice a day for both applications of minoxidil) I realized that I shouldn't be derma rolling that much.
The problem is that within those 6 months I had gotten amazing results and regrown a lot of hair on my temples. Since this was the case I kept doing it everyday. My results kept getting better and I got almost full coverage back in my temples.
Just this last week is when I started noticing a lot more hairs in the derma roller. When I read an article on hairguard I was informed that when you actually have hair there if you derma roll in the opposite way the hairs are growing it can pull them out.
I am considering getting a derma stamp so that I don't have to roll, does anybody have any experience with using a derma stamp? Also, how often is best to derma roll/stamp, I was thinking since my scalp is accustomed to having it done so often, I would dial it back to once a week. Thoughts?
