Hello, I had a successful FUE procedure 1 year ago, the hairs in my recipient area have grown well, I used minox and finasteride but stopped after 1 month post Ht due to side effects. I would like to ask the pros here if it is okay and safe to start using a Derma pen 1x a week with needles set at 1mm/1.5mm to micro needle areas on my scalp that are already growing transplanted hairs as I would like added new naive hair growth for added density, is it safe to do this?..Would it damage the hairs?
