Microneedle pens for hair loss are harder to find on Amazon due to FDA regulations on needle length. Users suggest buying from AliExpress or Temu instead.
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
The user plans to use a 1.5 mm dermapen for microneedling every 10 days and is considering applying aloe vera afterward. They also inquire about the timing for washing their hair before and after the treatment.
Disinfecting microneedlers is important to prevent infection, with suggestions to use high-percentage alcohol or denture tablets for sterilization. Rollers may cause skin damage, so stamps or pens are recommended for safer microneedling.
The user shared progress pictures after using minoxidil and microneedling for 1 month and 10 days. They discussed their positive results and experiences with these treatments for hair loss.
