I use castor and coconut oil after dermarolling, never had any issues—but I think that’s because castor oil isn’t an ar5 inhibitor, as far as I know.Do you guys put any essential oil or anything on your scalp right after needling? I Bought a Dr. Pen and will be doing 1.5 mm depth to start
I used 12 pins a few days ago with the Dr pen. I thought that it wouldn't be enough pins but it did the jobShould you use the 12 or 36 pin cartridges for Dr Pen?
basal cell carcinoma has a very low risk of deadly malignancy, especiaaaly when caught earlyThis thread DEFINITELY peaked my interest, until I started to read about the cancer risks (and the article below). I'm kinda surprised more people are not concerned about this. I'm also thinking applying toppik - even a few days post needling is kinda worrisome. Even if everything 'appears' to be healed, surely some toppik fibers will seep into the scalp micro tears and that doesn't sound like a healthy/safe situation...

This was a worrying read for me .
The scar tissue, collagen damage and possible cancer is scary. Especially now I have started microneedling!

Lol, this has been reposted a couple of times now in this thread. No need to worry, they're trying to sell their products by discouraging microneedling, etc.
Everybody here is putting on harsh minoxidil into those microneedled wounds so I wouldn't worry about toppikthe whole toppik/needling combo sounds a bit potentially risky imo....
I thought cartridges were really cheap? Or do you have to buy cartridges specifically for derminator 2?Hi, new member! Got directed here from tressless purely because of this thread.
First of all, wanna say thanks to OP for putting this together, whether this "works" or not, this is still a fantastic resource.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out how the whole cartridge thing with the Derminator 2 works. It seems like it comes with one 12-pin cartridge, and then I need to buy additional ones separately, correct? So if I want to get enough for, say 25 weeks, that's an additional 150 bucks? (I'm in canada)
