Its 540 titanium needles and it will give better coverage than 192 needles. Any thoughts?
Your are right after all about the 1.5mm, no pain no gain. I hope it wont leave any scarring. I will use it on my non hair transplanted areas like midscalp and crown every Saturday before bedtime as mentioned before. How many minutes I should use it in one session? Any advice?

In the review on that owndoc's website posted earlier in this thread, they advice against 540needle dermarollers. They say that the needles look more like knives and could acutally damage the skin. Off course it's a commercial website, but they seem to know what they 're talking about.
There was a thread on another forum I saw where a guy had a tattoo removed from his arm using a laser. In the following weeks, thick terminal hair grew from this area, and not just one or two strands of hair, at least a dozen within the former tattoo area which looked to be about 2x2 inches in size.
Here's what one person in that thread had to say about lasers on the skin:
Laser caps and other types of laser therapy have shown some effectiveness in the treatment of hair loss. The laser caps are way too expensive IMO. One of our patients built his own. I'm not recommending you do that though and I'm sure there are some risks involved in using laser light.

Disclosed is a device that can heal skin wounds and grow hair by irradiating light from light emitting diodes (LED). The device is provided with: an ultra-narrowband light irradiation means which generates ultra-narrowband red light with peak wavelength range 620-660nm and FWHM 10nm or less; an ultra-narrowband light irradiation means which generates ultra-narrowband green light with peak wavelength range 500-540nm and FWHM 10nm or less; an ultra-narrowband light irradiation means which generates ultra-narrowband blue light with peak wavelength range 440-480nm and FWHM 10nm or less; and an ultra-narrowband light irradiation means which generates ultra-narrowband red to near infrared light with peak wavelength range 700-2500nm and FWHM 10nm or less. In this way, cell growth factors such as HGF and KGF are acted upon by irradiating the affected area with ultra-narrowband monochromatic light of FWHM 10nm or less, which has excellent effects in healing skin wounds and growing hair.
Here's one of the results in their patent study:
Then I found this article:
Dextran hydrogel scaffolds enhance angiogenic responses and promote complete skin regeneration during burn wound healing
Hawkins' hand was scarred from contact with an electrical wire. He was approached by McGee, a doctor, about having the scars removed. McGee guaranteed to make the injured hand a "one hundred percent good hand". McGee used a technique of "skin grafting" that he was unfamiliar with and failed to remove the scars. Because McGee used skin from Hawkins's chest area, the graft caused the palm of Hawkins' hand to grow thick hair.
The increasing evidence of wounding theory is starting to pile up....!!! Thanks for the article Conpecia
I think we might really be onto something there , I have a suspect that diffuse thinners are going to benefit the most because they're follicles are not completely dead, just my theory.
It's freaking crazy that I had not heard about the dermaroller before, not just for hair loss.
We are talking about hair follicle neogenesis so I don't see why diffuse thinners (like me) could get more benefit then others... It is not about waking up existing follicles but create new ones.

Notice that in this article Hitzig's name is mentioned
It seems to me Cots et al are testing the most promising vector: letting the body heal alopecia by itself. They just need to learn the level of wounding needed...
I guess we'll be able to say EUREKA after 12 weeks of the dermarolling community trial

So what's the consensus then 540 or 192? You really think that 540 could be counterproductive? I've been using a 540 i think
Boy, that wound size looks HUUUGEEE, and notice the depth, it goes all the way to the derma papillas. What kind of device can create this "full thickness excision" they are thinking of, a scalpel maybe? I mean, in the patent they say it shouldn't hurt (or patient can receive a numbing cream), Man i need a 2.5mm vibrating roller that can shoot additional daggers at my scalp... I think .
I will be out for blood tonight with my 1.5mm roller in the mean time, WHO IS WITH ME? "THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD THEM, THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT, THIS IS WHERE THEY DIE... SPARTANSSSS, READY YOUR BREAKFAST AND DRINK HEARTY."
