Microneedling and scarring
I’ve heard mixed things on this. Some doctors have said that it can cause micro-scarring and make the scalp not viable for a transplant. If that’s the case I might want to stop. Generally I do like 1mm dermastamp once weekly.
Microneedling done at a 1.25mgg depth doesn’t go deep enough to cause significant scarring. On average, the hair follicle goes down to a depth of between 5-7 mm, so the growth of the hair follicle in the dermis is unobstructed by any scarring.
