Microneedling before a hair transplant
Currently, I microneedle every Sunday. The first week, I micro needle at a depth of 1.5mm, then the next three weeks at a depth of .8mm, and then I repeat. I use this schedule as my skin is more sensitive than most and it works well. However, I am a bit worried about the possibility of scarring my temples in the event that I get a hair transplant in the future. When I microneedle, I only do so until the skin becomes red, perhaps even slight bleeding (very very minimal). Will microneedling in general prevent a successful future hair transplant?
No. Microneedling needles that go down to a depth of no more than 1.5mm, will not impact a hair transplant with significant scarring.
