Dermarolling? How to - a good tutorial

[londonhairlossvictim]

Does anybody have a good trustworthy tutorial of the best practice for this?
So how to do it? Then should we use Minoxidil directly after rolling on the scalp for example?
Any advice on this would be great as I can't find a consistent reply to this

Doctor with whom I had transplant  done told me Dermarolling can cause hair loss. Not sure if he meant to patients who has recently done hair transplant or to anybody in general. Since I am unsure I will not quote doctors name nor I will ever do Dermarolling. In case Dermarolling helps. I still do not think you can do it everyday because it causes tiny injuries and causes more scalp irritation. May be once in 10 days you probably can do dermarolling. Another reason I feel derma rolling does not help is in case of hair transplants scalp needs to be completely healed to regrow newly transplanted hair,  since derma rolling does tiny injuries, if your scalp is always injured not sure it will help.  Sorry if my reply caused more confusion.

Dermarolling doesn't cause hair loss. And if your hair transplant doc was trying to convince you of that I'd be thinking conflict of interest opinion; ie the better dermarolling works, the less hair he can transplant, the less money he makes.

And you dermaroll once or twice a week.

I do think it can stop transplanted hair from growing in if you start doing it too soon after the hair transplant. If you had a hair transplant I would wait until the transplanted hair is fully gown in before trying it. That's just my opinion.
