Dermatologist tomorrow; Questions re: Dermarolling?
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?
-
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.

Cancer!?!?
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)

Interesting, 3 years is a long time, its encouraging to hear you have had some results. Do you take anything else or is this as a result of dermarolling alone? Also, what do the hairs look like? Thick terminal or fine vellus?

Unfortunately, your question is difficult to answer. I started balding at 18 and immediately started finasteride, then later added lasercomb, keto shampoo, PRP (5 treatments), Biotin, and derma-rolling.. and now at 26, I feel my hair is in better shape than where I started treatment.
All I can tell you is that I pinpoint "problem" areas with the derma-roller and over time (years) I've seen those vellus hairs turn into viable dark hairs. However, I can't tell you if it was bc of the derma-roller or my other treatments or both. That's why I only stated I believed it helped, rather than know...but like I said, the problem areas where I hit hard with the dermaroller has produced viable hairs... so you can take that with a grain of salt.
