I doubt it matters much as long as you're penetratingDoes it matter if you use slow or fast speed with a dermapen as long as you are still doing 1.5mm?

Based on my own experience, I'd say no. My bald spots on the hairline area hurt the same as the rest of my head (and it's pretty much full).For those who know stuff, I have a Q: some ppl feel pain even on 0,5mm but others do 1,5mm and hardly feel anything. Is that an indicator of how bad fibrosis is or what?
I know it sounds frowned upon to link sources, but can anyone point me in the right direction for a 1.5mm roller? It seems every roller on Amazon is either 0.25mm, or 1.5mm and terrible quality.
I’m looking to implement light daily rolling to help with the minoxidil absorption (“Somebody” method). Currently use a Dr Pen A6 for my weekly 2mm sessions, but don’t want to fly through all my cartridges during the daily light needling.
There are chemical company's on eBay that sell bulk 70% rubbing alcohol i leave my tips submerged in a inch of it all week get them out make sure they dry out without recontaminating them and i have the 70% spray bottle from spraying every surface i touch including my my scalp i was originally using 70% injection wipes but they are tiny i make sure the alcohol has dried before proceeding.I got the Dr. Pen
The needles, to sterilise them, do we just place them in boiling water for a few hours? After every usage?
Hey there!Hi there..I am using a dermapen. I find it actually quite difficult to keep the pen at a 90deg angle. If you dont do that, you don't get the penetration depth as one side lifts up. A beauty therapist may be able to do that correctly since she/he does it all the time.
Thus, I am considering using a derma stamp. Due to the relatively large surface area it may be easier to use it as intended.
Any thoughts on this.
I suggest you lift up the pen a bit when you're moving it. Kinda like a "stamp".I have a similar issue with my pen. My hands are quite unsteady so when I run it over my scalp it’s never really a smooth motion so I feel like I’m not doing it properly. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks man. I actually feel like I’m not applying enough pressure, and it’s more of a bumping up and down motion as I move it over my head, instead of a smooth motion. How much pressure should be applied?I suggest you lift up the pen a bit when you're moving it. Kinda like a "stamp".
I personally think of it as applying deodorant! So mild pressure.Thanks man. I actually feel like I’m not applying enough pressure, and it’s more of a bumping up and down motion as I move it over my head, instead of a smooth motion. How much pressure should be applied?
