Microneedling is unlikely to damage existing hair if done with a device using a smaller needle count, like a 9-needle cartridge, and a stamping motion. Hair follicles are deeper than the typical needle penetration depth.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
community How to microneedle without infection
Microneedling can cause infections if not done carefully; users suggest using alcohol swabs and reducing needle depth to avoid issues. Proper sanitation and gentle pressure are key to preventing bleeding and infection.
community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
community Micro needling 25 days progress. I’ve been on fin and min for 6 months but micro needling has done SO much more to actually restore my hairline
A user shared a 25-day progress picture showing significant hairline restoration attributed to microneedling, in addition to using minoxidil and finasteride for 6 months. Other users discussed needle length, frequency, and whether the effects of microneedling are permanent.
