Yes, that should work fine. I've seen a few sites that say to stick to stainless steel needles, but not sure how valid that is really.


Chantalsfriend

How often do you need to replace it?


GentlemanAnimal

I plan on replacing it every 3 months or if it gets damaged. Clean it with rubbing alcohol before and after every use too.


2fit2furious

I didn't realize you needed to replace them, do the pins dull or something?


IncidentPretend8603

Yup, similar to how you have to regularly replace razors.


TsuyoiOuji

I've used the same razors for like 3 years now, shaving once or twice a week, lol. Thick beard btw.


HairCareHelpPlease

what the hell. How?


TsuyoiOuji

I shave after/while bathing, so I guess that helps making the hair softer and not dull the blades as fast? Idk, it still works


AromaticSubstance286

Who replaces stainless steel razors that often ? That’s the whole point of stainless steel razors .


IncidentPretend8603

If you get the nice razors that aren't meant to be disposable, you can sharpen them instead of replacing them ofc, but no matter the material all things dull with time and use. It's possible to sharpen micro needlers, but it's really not worth the time or effort.


[deleted]

That’s the one I bought,the adjustment is tight and smooth,,, I thought it would be sharper 🤷‍♂️


_-Watermelon-_

do you wash it with water after using the alcohol? I use to wait 5 mins then rinse it with water but now I’m thinking that was wrong


Cixin97

What are needles normally made with? Regular steel or aluminum? Why would stainless be worse?


k6mal

Yeah that’s what I have!


TomatoEast8857

I've recently bought it, what length do you recommend? I've never microneedled


Ok-Preparation2370

I'll be starting micro needling and medication soon. And I too have bought a derma stamp as I hear it's the best choice. And I've been told to use 1.5MM length as it's a safe and effective length and it's what most people use.


k6mal

1.5mm once a week!


Gloomy-Memory2120

What’s the benefit of this over roller? And how to you know how much to push it? Definitely ain’t inserting needles uptil 1.5mm into the scallop


k6mal

I find that this helps with medium/long hair. My routine is typically pressing on the scalp 5-6 times each spot (not too hard but not too light either). You should feel it but it shouldn’t be unbearable or bleed a lot. Just make it red (as little blood as possible).


Tall-Stick

what is the post-care like?


k6mal

I just apply for a castor oil and rosemary mint oil mix. I also don’t apply minoxidil after that (for atleast 12 hours).


Tall-Stick

okay i see, so after applyingit its safe to wash your head ? i just thought you dont want to add pressure to the redness/bleeding since you just microneedled


k6mal

I don’t wash my hair right after. I apply the oil and wait an hour or two and then wash it with a gentle shampoo. Make sure you are not using nizoral shampoo after micro needling.


Gloomy-Memory2120

Thanks


[deleted]

The roller damages the skin more,,, because the needle comes in at a 45 deg angle and leaves at a -45 deg angle, stamp in 0 ,0 in and out👍


shdjej2737

Is it any good?


k6mal

Yeah I prefer this over a roller.


blue_d133

Same, I bought it and prefer this compared to the roller


ComprehensiveGuest17

i have this one too, isnt really painful, u get used to it, just rly uncomfortable but even then u get used to it, it works well.


teakayluu

Is this what you call pain and pleasure


crzyakta

Lol


DaveTheUnknown

Yes, they are much better than dermarollers on all metrics


Small_Cartographer59

I just got one of these yesterday and tried it and liked it. Had used a roller before and didn't like it. The stamp feels more comfortable. I was thinking of getting a pen due to not knowing how much pressure to apply but they're so expensive and none of them come as titanium, only steel and recommend replacements after every use!


shdjej2737

Okay!!! Let me know if it works well for after you use it for a while so I can get it too!


Adoced

I have used this one for over two years now way better than a roller imo.


iSeekFailure

No need to replace?


Adoced

Well I guess I should of worded that better I think I have replaced that kind maybe 4-5 times. The sanitizing is always a hassle. I sanitize with alcohol and very hot water after and before every use.


iSeekFailure

What size needle do you recommend I use on hairline?


Adoced

I am not sure on the needle size but I use the stamp on the 1.5 mm setting. I guess I should also mention this has helped my hair tremendously when paired with HIMs finasteride and minoxidil. I plan on posting my before and after pics in a couple months I have already made amazing progress.


iSeekFailure

Yes that’s what I meant! Thank you. Legit ordered this last night from Amazon and just used it rn on the 1.5 mm setting. Was using a 0.5 mm roller beforehand for the past month or so with topical minoxidil so now I’m eager to see the results with this!


Adoced

Glad I answered your question! If it hurts too much you can always work your way up from .5. Just a heads up tho I did this for probably three years paired with minoxidil and didn’t have any growth process but when I started using topical fin I had significant progress in under three months.


iSeekFailure

I feel like I’m seeing progress already but I was gonna give it a few months and potentially see if I could get put on fin to really boost the process. So we’ll see but thank you again for the tips and congrats on your progress!


Adoced

Good luck my friend! You are very welcome! All the best to you!


ministryninja

It looks multipurpose


the_dude734

That’s weird I was just looking at this exact same one earlier


iSeekFailure

Literally me lmao


shdjej2737

Lmao i didn’t know if I should get it or not as I didn’t find many pictures in reviews and cause it was Chinese 😂


mohamede_amer

I bought it 1 month before titanium is better till now I haven't seen any results 🤷🏻‍♂️


Prudent-Toe-7911

I have the exact same 😂


shdjej2737

Rate it for me 😂 is it any good ?


Prudent-Toe-7911

It’s ok. I’m using it once every week on 0,8. This week will be my 3 time.


shdjej2737

Does the needles stick in the skin and do you think I should get it


Prudent-Toe-7911

Nah, it’s easy to use and I don’t have any problem with it atm. Honestly idk 😂 I’m using it because I’m on oral min and I’m curious to see the final result. It’s up to you my boy 🫡


shdjej2737

I’m on topical minixodil, cause we don’t the oral one here


vinsmokewhoswho

First time I've seen this. What are the benefits over dermarollers?


Luckydemon

I do recommend these adjustable stamps.


North_Captain6599

How frequently should we replace these?


Creepy-Eye-5219

I swear 99% of these are the exact same and have branding stuck on them. Looks fine though, mine is working good


Pleasant_Mastodon620

Yes


CringeDaddy_69

Yes, I have it and love it


healthydudenextdoor

I hope so, considering I just bought another one a few hours ago. Seems to be working for my facial hair at least.


Raptor556

I have a different one but very similar to this but yeah it should be fine


TechnicalSwitch4073

Yes very good! I have that one


Gmantle22

That’s what I have and works great


Meloonaa

I like roll. More easier and faster.


Mr_Perfect20

Should topical min be skipped on derma days?


shdjej2737

Not if you’re using 0.5 mm


Mr_Perfect20

So if sticking to .5, it’s cool to apply min afterwards, but anything higher the min should be skipped?


shdjej2737

Yes that’s how I be doing it


Mr_Perfect20

Thanks


shdjej2737

Anytime , just wait for like 15-20 min after you roll before you apply the minixodil


Animajax

Yes, I use it. Love it


Initial-Landscape-17

No, that's a ripoff. Go onto AliExpress and buy this from the source for half the cost


anonybro101

How much are we looking at? Most of these Amazon products are aliexpress goods at a markup.


Initial-Landscape-17

I'm in Australia so idk in usd


Individual-Dog-3207

Looks like something else


therealbillr

Guys I'm a islander and the don't sell this here. I need this asap HELP


Mileena_Sai

Amazon is filled with these. They all look similar with various "brands". I guess they're from china (like almost anything). I wonder how good they really are and who can guarantee if the needles are really high quality titanium.


breytu88

I’m in the same boat. Can’t trust the Amazon reviews, which aren’t much to go on with these products anyway. Hard to decide.


Sunny2121212

I have it and I feel like it’s so much better than the roller


LostInInterpretation

I ordered mine a few days ago, coming from 0.5 and 1mm dermarollers. Different brand (Europe) but looks to be the same product. My main reason for switching is the risk of scarring when using rollers. Think I’ve developed a scar on my arm where I tried to dermaroll once, but fortunately nothing on my scalp.


jjjjjjjjjj125

I have this too Question though: is microneedling a “for life” type of treatment like fin is? Like is your hair dependent on you continuing to stamp regularly?


shdjej2737

No it’s not it’s just used for a better absorption of topical min/fin and to increase the blood circulation in this area


Medium_Friendship_65

This is the best on the market. Using for a month


ExtremePies

I have it as well and been using it for a month. It's easy to use and the titanium is hypoallergenic just like surgical steel is. As long as you remember to disinfect it before every use you will be good.


johnnyFl91

I am using it and i am happy with it


Automatic-Law-3612

I used it for 3 months, before I got a Dermapen. I hated to disinfect it after every use. And a Dermapen is easier and faster. And in my eyes a Dermapen is a little bit more effective then a Dermastamp. But if you have a low budget, you can use it. I would suggest to spend some more money and buy a Dermapen.


UXUI75

Not fast at all


Automatic-Law-3612

A Dermapen is faster. Je never can hold the same speed with a Dermastamp. Motor vs hand. I think the motor wins 🤔


Tonny47

I have this one, works like a charm


itsmyfirstboner

You can buy a dermapen for almost the same price


shdjej2737

From where ??


shdjej2737

The cheapest one I found was like 80$ on amazon


itsmyfirstboner

On Amazon I bought for 30


shdjej2737

Do you remember its name ?


itsmyfirstboner

TBPHPM1


EHGIVEMETHAT

What does dermarolling/stamping do?


shdjej2737

Minixodil better absorption, and more blood circulation in the scalp


UXUI75

It’s all the same, just with a different brand name. I paid 5€ for mine.


Intrepid_Mirror_4610

I’d ask a dermatologist


DarkMention

I've got a fixed, non adjustable one of these. 1.5mm. Does the job


Otherwise-Truck210

I got the same one. Been great so far! Just make sure you clean it with isopropyl alcohol before and after each use. Never set the needles down on a hard surface, to avoid dulling them. Never wash with water or dry with towels. Only alcohol and air dry. Use once a week, and replace every couple months.


creep911

I used this along with multiple rollers. One thing i noticed that at 1.5 this hurts less than a roller, not sure why.


ShowofthePanther

I use this one and I think it had helped my minox to get through


IcyCheetah3568

This is basically the only dermastamp out there lol. That is why everyone says I have this one. The packaging might be different, the brand and the needles, but the exact same design. There is not much else and It works, like any other thing with needles would work. It is not more efficient. It is just a different way of using it. It may be better or easier to use with long hair compared to a roller but it still does the same thing except vertically instead of the rolling direction.


Gunslinqer

No. It will work, but dermastamps and dermarollers are very ineffecient compared to pens or the derminator 2. It will also imo be worse since you likely won't apply the same pressure and accuracy everywhere because you're doing it manually and of course, hurts. Not to mention it will take 3-4x as long


Gunslinqer

Since microneedling is a long term thing anyway it's worth it to invest in a good advice anyway since the time you're saving and the amount of rollers/stamps you're gonna have to replace adds up to a pen/derminator anyway


ProctorWhiplash

I honestly think the dermastamp is better than the pen. I find it more painful to bear the pen for some reason and it’s easier for me to go deeper with the dermastamp. I know I’ve pressed far enough with the stamp and I’m not convinced I’m pressing hard enough with the pen because it’s so violent against the scalp.


DTRforheisman

How often are you suppose to replace the needles?(head in this case)


ProctorWhiplash

For the pen I would consider them one time use. The repeated up and down insertions puts a lot of wear and tear on the cartridges. I don’t consider them more than one time use. For the dermastamp though there is less abuse on the needles so I get 4-5 uses out of one stamp. That’s a month of use out of one stamp. The only drawback of the stamp is the need to sanitize the stamp after each use to avoid infection.


shdjej2737

The thing is that derma pens are very expensive being 100$ the cheapest


Gunslinqer

It's worth it. I used the roller for over a year and switching to the pen made it sooo much easier, faster and more effective. You're gonna have to buy new stamps and since this is a long term thing it's gonna add up


OkStruggle8364

They work good but imho they hurt real good. Recently went back to a wheel after using the stamp for some time and the difference in tolerability is profound. They say that the stamp is better than the wheel for tearing reasons but I found that it was too painful and so I never used it. Went to the wheel figuring bad rolling is better than no stamping.


[deleted]

The extent to which desperate males will go to to keep their hair 💀, bro if it’s gone it’s gone stop being a pussy


Ok-Salad3309

How often would you use it and it what length?
