Is it effective, or at least safe, to combine LLLT (at home cap use) with weekly microneedling?

Asked By:I_cogitate in Albany, California

I have recently started using a LLLT cap (Revian Red) and was wondering if a) there is at least a theoretical basis for the idea that adding weekly microneedling might improve my results and b) is it likely to at least be safe (i.e. not cause scalp damage, or worsening hair loss). I am also currently using minoxidil. Thank you!
