Hey there guys,
I recently, about 5 weeks ago, started a treatment with a Dermaroller that has 1.5 mm needles. It hurts quite a bit but the redness and little wounds are gone within a couple of days. I see tiny little hairs coming out but I'm not sure if they were there before. You cannot see it on pictures I took before.
Anyway, right away when I started using the Dermaroller with 1.5 mm needles I noticed more shedding. Before that, the shedding was quite stable. Maybe I would have 1-2 hairs on my hands but that was about it.
I have been using a 0.25 mm Dermaroller for the last year but that yielded little results. At best it stabilised the situation while I supported the rest of my hair with trioxidil (a weird alternative for Minoxidil since you cannot get that anymore in the Netherlands).
Now, since I am using the 1.5 mm needles once a week, I dropped the 0.25 Dermaroller to just once a week. I don't want to hurt the skin too much. However, since then, I have noticed more shedding.

- Did anyone else experience this?
- Is it seasonal shedding?
- Any tips on reducing the shedding?
