dark knight man Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hello guys, I’m 8 months into my HT and the results were looking okay. Thought I’d start micro needling to improve my ground as it wasn’t the full thickness i wished for. I micro needled two weeks ago with 1.5mm and it felt fine. Then last week i accidentally did it with 2.5mm without realizing I’m not sure who played with my device. This week my hairline looks noticeably thinner and i seen a significant shed. Have i caused permanent damage? Do people usually see sheds after MN? Any tips and help would be greatly advised not sure if i should bite the bullet and continue microneedling or stop til recovery. Thanks community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex27O Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I was told that it shouldn’t be an issue as it’s been 8 months for you especially. Or course ask your surgeon. Just try not to do 2.5mm because that’s pretty deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, might the HT results be better had one not microneedled at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
