Shedding with microneedling?

Ive had pretty lame results with minox only the past 8 months so I decided to add microneedling a month ago (.75m once a week with .3mm for topicals 2x a week). Ive been having a pretty big shed as a result and dont know if this is a sign to stay on. I did have an initial minox shed when i first got on min but there wasnt much regrowth after, so Im hoping this would be different.Thoughts?

You should understand that the scalp epidermis is 0.5mm thick, so if you go less than 0.5mm with microneedling, you are not reaching any hair stem cells; in fact, you are not reaching anything. With your 0.75mm length, you are barely going through the scalp’s epidermis. The stem cells that need to be reached are about 1.0- 1.7 mm below the surface of the scalp, so that is why I recommend a depth of 1.25mm to reach those stem cells that control hair growth cycling. The shed may have nothing to do with your microneedling.
