How microneedling works and why is the Dr. Pen better!

I would like to know how to properly do this. Because I don’t know how lightly I should go or how long I should focus on/stab one area…I always seen to over do it slighly and make my scalp red have to stop after 2 or 3 days because of the sensitivity & flaking.

So how exactly do you guys that do it daily do it?

The point of microneeding is to create a wound adjacent to the stem cells located between 0.75-2mm below the scalp’s surface. This produces a healing cascade, starting with bleeding, infusion of platelets and macrophages into the wound, and then stem cell activation. This stem cell activation produces a variety of stem cells. One group in particular controls hair cycling and these stem cells are believed to cause hair growth. That is why the depth of the needles and the repeated injury with the Dr. Pen device produce controlled injury. I tell everyone to hold the device against the scalp for 10 seconds in each area. If there is too much pain, purchase a numbing medication from your local drug store and then apply it 30 minutes before the Dr. Pen is used. As I described above, derma stamping and Dermarollers are inaccurate for controlling the wound. The minoxidil is an added benefit, but the controlled wound gets you the results. Look at the posts on badlingblog.com earlier this week as this seems to be an area of interest and focus for my writing.
