copper is your friendI just started Dermarolling and had a quick question. Would taking collegen supplements help since Dermarolling breaks down and rebuilds the scalp via collegen formation?

Right. That said, and my understanding based on that, is that the follicle are deeper than 5mm.... is that true?
And nowhere have I read 0.8mm
I was worried about this initially.
Arrector Pili muscle depth 1.65mm
Mean length of a scalp hair follicle is 4.16mm

You should be pretty safe at 1.5mm(Dr. Rachita Dhurat depth). If you want to be safer use follicas depth they use for their device which is .8mm.
It isn't about penetration of a topical. Microneedling triggers a wound healing response resulting in the up regulation of a variety of growth factors in your scalp. By the numbers Microneedling + minoxodil is 4x as effective as just minoxodil alone.
See: http://www.ijtrichology.com/article...lume=5;issue=1;spage=6;epage=11;aulast=Dhurat
Try the dr pen A6. 1/week at 1.5mm then apply minoxodil 5% 2/week.
Here's an example of good technique:

lol some how they knew in october 2019 about 0.8mm wild guess?
Microneedling in long run is not good idea. Instead use topicals like minoxidil ,caffeine, nizoral,castor oil(ricinoleic acid) to promote stem cell proliferation.
Lol how could such vital info be ignored/forgotten that said the main needling thread is still going and no one mentioned yet that by multiplying average scalp area plus few cm of over lap we need 320000 needle strikes per scalp biweeklyIt wasn't a wild guess. Follica made the info available a while back but the original sources were lost to time, so feel free to speculate whatever I guess?

I saw this ultima a6 vs derminator comparison. Is anyone able to say something about Ultima A7? Is it closer to derminator than a6 was?
I can't order Derminator from my country, and it seems like this is best device...
I have the dermenator 2 it's certainly a good device. I've never used other pens but I did have a 1.5 roller which I thought I was doing a good job with, but after getting the dr2 I can't even go past 1mm on my temples. With a pen style weekly treatments are good but with a roller I'd say bi-weekly are best.I've read the whole thread and it seems like the derminator is the best option?

Great thread!!
Ive been heavily needling with the derminator 6 times now and draw quite some blood.
Do more people have that? I use 1.5mm to 2mm.
This has been mentioned in first post: "WOULD NEEDLING RUIN MY SKIN FOR A TRANSPLANT?"
Will it?
