Hair Loss Worsened After 8 Months of 1.5mm Dermapen Use - Is It Permanent?

[Jray]

I was using a DR. pen a6 dermapen weekly at 1.5mm, I experienced shedding after the first 2 months which I thought was normal based on some of the experiences on here. However the shedding kept on going. After doing some more research I learned that 1.5mm weekly was way too much with a dermapen. This was from May 2025 to December 2025.

I have since taken a 3 week break and just began again at 0.75mm weekly yesterday.

Is this just shock loss? Or permanent? Any advice would be greatly appreciated I’m kinda freaking out.

also using topical min twice daily, and fin 1.25mg daily

hard to know, better do what works but see a doctor above all before making any decisions.

Unlikely to be permanent, but shedding can continue for weeks after stopping the trauma, if that’s what caused it. I’d pause microneedling for a bit, keep fin/min steady, and give follicles time to recover, regrowth typically lags shedding by a few months.
