"All the patients were subjected to microneedling procedure weekly for 4 sessions initially and then fortnightly for subsequent 11 sessions. The total duration of microneedling treatment lasted for 24 weeks."
4 sessions a week? That's how I interpret this, but everything else I've read says do it only once a week. How should this protocol be done? Every other day?
Also:
"The scalp was surgically cleansed with betadine and normal saline. A dermaroller of 1.5 mm sized needles was gently rolled over the affected areas of the scalp in longitudinal, vertical, and diagonal directions until mild erythema was noted; this was considered as the end point of the procedure. Each procedure lasted for about 20-25 minutes."
25 minute sessions? My scalp turns light pink much faster than that. I assume since these guys were doing their whole heads and I was just on the temple area???
