ive seen many different people contradict eachother, some claim to go 1-1.5mm on both face and scalp whereas some go as low as 0.3-0.5. I have been responding very well to microneedling on the scalp personally (no bothersome irritatrion) I've tried both 0.5mm and up to 1.25mm+ or some shit, obviously the deeper the more irritation but especially on the scalp its quite forgiving it hurts abit but generally calms down I just wait 12-16 hours before I apply minoxidil again.

Should I continue upwards of 1-1.5mm on the scalp or is it just abit too much for the "damage" it can cause. And if so should I do it once a week, every 4 days or what. I have seen many people doing 0.5mm but then it's usually 2x per week so about 4 days apart.

And for the skin, I have a few scars here and there that are like pimples under the skin like dots its not like real scars that u can see on reddit and shit, eitherway I debating to start microneedling those a little bit just because it might give good results, might be worth to mention that I use 0,025 tret + clindamycin (the cream is called Acnatac/Treclinac) so that itself should hopefully help abit to get the mini dots gone too.

Should I microneedle about 1mm on affected areas like once every month or some shit?

TLDR: How deep for scalp and how often do you microneedle the scalp, how often for face and how deep for minor acne scars?

scalp: 1-1.5 mm once per week
face: 0.5 mm every too weeks (u can also do 0.25mm twice per week)
acne scars: 0.75-1mm like once a month (skin needs time to rebuild collagen)

Bet ima do 1mm once per month then for the scars then spam 1.25 or sum for the scalp since my scalp doesnt really get as irritated.

does the small blood matter? I thought 0.5 was abit little for the scalp but when I reach like 1.3+ for the scalp theres tiny bit on the stamp itself that prob doesnt matter?

disinfect it so you wont get any inflammation
other than that it shouldnt be a serious concern
