Dermatologist tomorrow; Questions re: Dermarolling?

[clandestine]

Sorry this is a bit late to post, and hopefully it gets to you all in time.

I'm going to a dermatologist appointment tomorrow at 12pm. I'll be bringing my 1.5mm roller to show and ask some questions.

Does anyone have any questions they'd like me to ask re: derma rolling?

Question:

Have you ever seen hair growth after wounding? If so, what kind of a wound?

[Brock Landers]

1)Can using a 1.5mm dermaroller (or any size really) cause micro scarring that might affect future hair growth of a hair transplant....or could it be causing any other type of damage?

2) Please show him this link

And there was one other one that indicated that woulding causes cancer. Please inquire about this!

Thanks!

Brock

A general inquiry into the potential risks of using a 1.5mm dermaroller once a week on the scalp. Infection, cancer, scarring, etc.

Thanks Clan, this will help.

Ask him as well, Is 0.5mm safe as well to be used? How often I can use it? Nanogen said that its safe to use everyday before Minoxidil application! Thanks.

Hey guys,

Been a long while since I last posted on here, however, I still like to be kept up to date with the hairloss community.

I was personally concerned when I saw this thread about the question if this can cause cancer... as I've been micro needling my scalp 1x a week with a 1.00mm for around 3 years. (Yes I believe I've gained hair from it, No I cannot provide proof)


According to the following link, it cannot cause cancer... however, I would personally like more evidence from a reliable source that it cannot (or I might freak out and go to my doctor to get checked)
