dermarolling eyebrows
« on: October 05, 2012, 01:01:14 AM »
Hey Sarah

I have a scar on my eyebrow and have sparse hair on it in general. I was wonderng in dermarolling with a 0.5 or 0.25 needle would stimulate hair growth for it? Also maybe applying rogaine afterwards?

A scar has almost no metabolic activity and usually it has no hairs due to lack of proper blood flow and other reasons. Needling often crushes the scar tissue and triggers revascularisation of the scar. This sometimes results in skin "normalization". If the scar is in the area of the eyebrows or the scalp, there is a chance the hairs will partially regrow after needling.

You should stamp the scar every ten days with a 1 mm dermastamp.
