The user experienced hair loss possibly due to scalp damage and tried natural treatments with limited success. They reported noticeable hair thickening after using a laser treatment device, suggesting it may be effective, especially for those on finasteride.
community Is the “crunching” sound during microneedling my scalp actually the needles cutting through hair?
The "crunching" sound during microneedling is likely the needles penetrating the scalp's outer layers, not cutting hair. Users suggest using a derma stamp instead of a roller to avoid potential hair damage.
community How to take care of the microneedler?
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.
