I think there is little or no difference since the main ingredient is the spironolactone. However, caffeine shold be a mild antinadrogen, whereas adenosine sholud be a growing stimulant similar to minoxidil, but I seriously doubt these 2 substances could have any serious effect on Androgenetic Alopecia. As for the useless...

Thank you guys. I performed 2 "mild" sessions and it seemed me to notice some thicher and healthy hairs. last week I moved to a more brutal microneedling, and now I am shedding like crazy... I must say i am entering now in the 3d week of a mild AAS cycle, and unfortunately the shedding is likely...

I repeat my question: do you guys perform deep and aggressive dermarolling once a week, or do you just follow the guidelines of the indian study ("mild erythema")?

I mean, I made my last hard session one week ago (that was my 3th microneedling session, but the first one when I pushed really deep on my scalp, and I caused not certainly just the "mild herythema" mentioned in the study), but now I dunno if it's better to wait another week (14 days) to help...

So, squeegee, you do aggressive microneedling every week?? I made my 3th extremely bloody session last sunday (lot of blood and lot of betadine :mrgreen:) with 1,5mm needles, and I do not know if repeat the 4th tomorrow or wait until next week...What do you suggest me? My impressions are that...

Minimum 2 weeks, I agree...I was thinking about adding some custom grow factors immediately after the derma roller session, and 2-3 times x week. It may be useful to the recovery process

Guys, I have just a couple of questions/considerations: 1) in case of deep bloody 1,5 mm microneedling, how long to wait until the next application to allow the complete scalp recovery? I guess one week should not be enough!! 2) I thinK that the idea of not applying minoxidil after the procedure...
