can I use any alcohol disinfectant from a shop like this one Boots Surgical Spirit B.P. - 500ml - Boots Ireland or does it have to be a specific one?

atm I'm not shedding much hairs at all, so I take it that I'm not really losing hair but a year and a half ago I shed a lot I think it was diet related and I have I think a naturally high hairline/big forehead(been insecure about it since I was 14) so I would like to try to stimulate growth and...

What preparation must you do for microneedling? Soak in alcohol the microneedling tool, yes, have a shower and shampoo your hair? Do you need to apply alcohol to yourself?

Thanks for the insight. Do you still microneedle or do you recommend just to take finasteride?

That would be an absolute deal breaker if true

Minoxidil for example is said to give results but if you drop it (which you might need to since its said there are sometimes problems taking it longterm) the results leave you. Is it the same with microneedling? I ask also how reasonable it is to use microneedling longterm

Does it give added benefit or do you get everything you need for hair maintenance and growth from finasteride?

a bit over a year ago I experienced a lot of hair shedding, I think this was the result of a lifestyle thing, now if I run my hand through my hair(which is long) I dont pick up hairs, maybe 1. Does this mean I'm not losing hair? I'm going to start micro needling because I want to stimulate...

not sure what needle length, needle quantity, make(stainless steel or titanium, etc) and brand I should get

Is it really much better than a drpen? I would buy the latter because it's more convenient for shipping to me, but I heard it causes micro tearing and I don't really understand how bad that is longterm

Most are the results are done with a dermaroller or dermapen, does this mean a derminator 2 is in any way less effective since it isnt as aggressive as far as what I understand(you mentioned a few users who thought it was important to draw blood)? Sorry if it's a dumb question

Thanks! From briefly researching I think I will just buy a derminator, it can be used for skin too

The op uses a dermapen. Is there a much greater advantage to that than a dermaroller? I remember reading somewhere that a dermaroller could scar your scalp whereas a dermapen does not. Is this true and is it something I should consider?

This is a long thread:oops: but I'm excited to use this, it sounds affordable, relatively safe, I'm too worried about the possible side effects from finasteride to take it so think I should try this(or fluridil) + dermarolling. Need to do more research here

This is very long thread I'm not really in the mood to read all of but what possible sides are you referring to?
