A short YouTube clip (speaker: Shereene Idriss) discussing microneedling as an adjunct to topical minoxidil/Rogaine for hair growth. The speaker emphasizes safety risks—hair breakage from aggressive use and infection from unclean devices—and states microneedling alone won’t outperform Rogaine but will likely enhance Rogaine’s effects.

I'm into it. I'm into the microneedling for hair growth. If you're using the microneedling as a way to make the Minoxidil or Rogaine work better for you. But there's a huge red flag. Number one, if you have longer hair or if you are super aggressive, I see all of you type A people out there going nuts, like, trying to, like, really get it in there. You might cause more hair breakage and make matters worse. And if you do not clean your device very well, you might introduce more bacteria and spread an infection, which. Which might make overall matters worse alone. Is it going to be better than Rogaine? No, it's not going to be better than Rogaine on its own, but is it going to enhance the effects of Rogaine? Probably.
