Is it advisable to use derma rollers at home for treating hair loss? If so, what is the optimal needle length, procedure?

Asked By:JSaral in India, IN

I have read conflicting articles and anecdotal accounts about home derma rolling (for hair loss). It seems like the greater the needle length, greater the efficacy, but lower the suitability for home application (and vice versa). Wondering if there is an optimal needle length that it effective (along with a topical agent) but also suitable for home application?
