So, several people reported it. Ok, I guess could be a cause for concern.

You mean my method? Dr Pen, 12 needles, 1.5mm depth.

Known by whom? Do you have a source for this claim? I have personally never had swollen lymph nodes from microneedling (I am about 10 sessions in).

Why did you keep rolling for 8 months if this is not how the theoretical basis of this works? Or did you not know the theoretical basis at the time you started, but for some reason decided to find out after 8 months?

What about olive oil as a carrier one?

I just dip a toothbrush (a special dedicated one) into a minoxidil bottle and brush my hair with it:p Never bothered with measuring specific amount. Same with oils - just dip another dedicated toothbrush into a mixture of oils and brush my scalp.

I would also be seeing 0 results, if I just used the bathroom mirror. My hair looks exactly the same as it did at the start and only on close inspection I can see that there is progress - Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless. I basically use a very strong...

Not even vellus? Have you tried examining it closely with an additional source of light?

Well, 2 minutes makes sense then. I do it all the way from my hairline and temples in the front to the back of the head, so...

Mine takes around 10-15 minutes. I guess it depends on how much area you have to cover, so this timing might vary considerably.

- Dr Pen Ultima A1 Minoxidil once on friday 5 - 6 hours after the needling session and once on tuesday. I picked friday for microneedling, since it is followed by weekend and I do not have to show up with a weird-looking scalp at my job. Why twice a week - minoxidil gives me horrible flaking, if...

I do, but only with a flashlight, since this new hair is invisible under normal lighting conditions and if I were to take a normal picture, there would be 0 progress visible. The next set of pictures I am going to post is probably going to be no sooner than a couple of months from now, when a...

I am excited - my temples have been completely bald for at least 10 years, and I just counted - there are 11 hairs growing on my left temple and 5 or 6 on my right one. They are completely transparent and vary in length from 3 to about 8 mm. And they aren't even close to my hairline, just...

Thanks, man. Well unlike my normal hair, they are completely invisible under normal lighting, probably because they are like 1/2 the normal thickness. And it doesn't help that blond-haired people have thinner hair in general diameter-wise.

Yep. One thing for sure - the vellus hair keeps growing, despite remaining very thin and invisible under normal lighting. The ones that are 2 - 3 mm in the old picture are now over 5mm. I am basically waiting for them to start thickening.
