I have my face microneedled by a professional, and she always moves the device without lifting it. I also microneedle my scalp that way.

Like it actually matter lol. This follica is huge flop in my opnion. There whole startegy is to stimulate growth without keeping the folicels healthy, the problem is , that no matter how much hair you get its the same as minoxidil hair it would go away in 2 years mark

Can someone smarter than me (which is likely to be most of you) explain to me how to interpret this? Didn't the previous Follica instructions say to move the pen "like a lawnmower?"
Not true.
A number of guys have created long-lasting new hairs from wounding/needling efforts. I mean lasting for a decade or more.
It's an occasional thing, just a few scattered hair shafts. Nothing remotely close to "cosmetically useful". But it does happen. Follica's original idea is very solid. Too bad they have failed to figure it out.

But haven't people grown hair in slick bald areas doing needling?
Dermatologists have observed NEW follicles being created from dermabrasion, where there wasn't hair beforehand.
Derms doing dermabrasion. That means people who weren't even looking for new hairs, and saw them happening. These observations go back for decades.
The wounding->regrowth concept works, period.
No, Follica has not been able to figure it out & make good use of it.
No, I don't know if Follica ever will.
No, Cotsarelis cannot be taken without grains of salt.
But the wounding->regrowth concept still works. Period.

what's crazy to me is how rassman and most so called hair loss doctors and specialist went from tellingoral min was deadly to now it's being promoted like the holy grail for hair regrowth with good safety profile

Did anyone ever discuss the needle diameter?
Maybe I'm wrong but we shouldn't be able to achieve 1600 wounds per cm² with existing devices.
A cm² offers the space of 100mm - If we take the Derminator2 which got a needle diameter of .15mm we can reach max. ~666 single wounds. So the needle diameter of follica's device would be max. around .06mm if the holes should be separately.

As well as finding out about the magic elixir that is to be applied in conjunction. Or was that it established that is just minoxidil?
