I will use the Volume, intensity and frequency pyramid used in Bodybuilding
In the case of dermarolling/dermastamping
For facial rejuvenation purposes most recommend 1mm every 10-14 days or 1.5mm every 14-21 days. Usually recommending 6-8 passes per spot.

Ive had 2 pitted scars from wounding very hard and aggressive with 1.5mm(intensity) and high volume(10-12 passes per spot). Even though the frequency is low. I.e once every 3 weeks.
According to this new chinese study they did wounding once every 2 weeks 1.5 -2.5mm with 3-4 passes per spot.

My recommendation now is 1.5mm once every 2 or 3 weeks. Volume should be 4-8 passes per spot and intensity should be enough to see blood. If you just see redness you didnt go hard enough.
If you see blood by 4-8 passes than you went hard enough. Dont do more than you need and better to be on the safe side.
Also don't apply any topical solution for 24 hrs after wounding. If its ethanol based i would wait 48 hrs just to be safe.
In the case of dermarolling/dermastamping
- Intensity is how long the needle is and much pressure your put when you roll/stamp the scalp.
- Volume is how many times you go over the same spot during a wounding session
- Frequency is how often you wound. i.e once a week, once every 3 weeks etc.
