Micro Needling For the Scalp

  Has anyone heard of this? I've been doing it on my face for about a year now & like it. But I just heard that it can help with thinning hair. Is this true?

Yes, I've heard of it but have not tried it. I suggest using a stamp type device rather than a roller which can get hair wrapped and tangled around it when it's used.

I've heard of it, as well. But I haven't tried it. Logically, it makes sense that it would work. As It essentially regenerates the hair follicle.

 Reminds me of when my daughter was little and took a toy car and ran it on the top of her head. She had long hair and we had a heck of a time getting her hair untangled from around the wheels.

Re: Micro Needling For the Scalp

@NicksmomESQ  My hair is thinning around the sides, so I am interested in knowing if this is an effective treatment as well. 

 

I'm curious to know if the needling of the face is painful. I have wanted to try it, but am "ALLERGIC" to pain.😂 Will you please share your experience?😁

@SandySparkles   I use it on my face twice a week.I roll very gently & don't have a problem. I got a set for $40 from Serious Skin Care. It had different size rollers for different areas of the face.

@NicksmomESQ 

The stamps are sold in various places. Look for 1.5mm stainless steel stamp w/140 tips. Looks like this:

The head is about the size of a postage stamp. They are called dermastamps or beauty stamps.

@NicksmomESQ  Thanks so much for sharing! I will look around for a set, give it a try, and cross my fingers, eyes, and toes that the discomfort will be minimal. Just call me SandyClucks.🤪🤞
