my dermaroller just arrived, i'll let you know.
Derminator uses 0.15mm diameter needles.
I have no idea what thickness the dermastamp needles were that I used prior to that, but that's certainly something to think about.
While we're here, does anyone have any views on using Derminator/dermastamp over the transplanted hair? Obviously not soon after the procedure, but perhaps 2-4 months later when the scalp has full sensation again and new grafts start to come out of resting phase. Would there be any concerns about damaging the grafts?
Can you describe the "needles getting stuck" thing a bit more? A lot of people mentioned this. I'm using derminator on fast setting too and not sure if/when I get this so I'm getting really concerned as I don't want to tear my scalp apart without even knowing it. ThanksGuys, I've just tried to derminator-wound using 2mm.
To describe the extent of wounding, I don't push much but hold it firmly against scalp. I'd repeat each area until it appears red and weeps a little. Occasionally the weeping blood needed wiping so I could see how far I've wounded each spot.
I found that needles get stuck quite often, which makes me hesitant to go further in fear of tearing. It's almost as though the circular motion gets needle stuck more than back-and-forth motion. I was using fast setting; had it been any slower I would imaging the 'sticking' gets worse, so I went back to 1.5mm....any tips?

Derminator is a piece of sh*t imo. You can watch the depth gauge and see that it takes about 5 seconds in one isolated area to reach 1.5 mm. It also gets stuck in your scalp. So, most of the time it isn't reaching the actual depth, other times it's going to the f*****g hilt and the needles get stuck in your flesh, dislodging them from the base. I'll stick to manual stamps.
