Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless
It's just longer hair. Nothing minoxidil on its own wouldn't do.

Did you read the study? lol. The hair is the same length as baseline in the after pics.

I'm debating whether I should do my monthly Derminator 1.5mm session tomorrow.
I got my new cartridges in the post this week.
But I'm going to have to be away from home tomorrow, so Idk if it's a good idea to derminate and then spend the rest of the day out in the city... even with a beanie on.

The results are good but sadly not as good as the guy from reddit. I hope he's not just a hyper responder to minoxidil and i can replicate his results. Im considering HRT or a transplant at this point.

He's not. He took minoxidil before and saw no regrowth

Please, let us know what happens. Also, I think you want to apply Zix after, but don't quote me on this one. Perhaps someone who's had experience with both can tell you for sure.

I searched cant find wheres says after photo length is same the hair above ears looks crazy thick for 1mm 2nd guys photo looks same length tho but not 1mm.
also have to wonder if they did half the same persons scalp with needles if the there was a spill over effect boosting the non needled sides results

All the studies seem to be 12 weeks long, with best responders having a ~50% increase in hair count.
It would be nice to know if the hair count keeps increasing after 6 months or a year of use or if it just plateau at ~50% and stays there.

Seems quite odd to me people with 5 10 20 30 years of hair loss expect it all back in 6 months tho that could be as they put it cope reasoning on my part

Will try to find it. I use incognito mode, so I can't look it up in the search history.

Good morning. sorry for my English.
I find this discussion very interesting, I wanted to ask one thing: we understand that dermapen works best if it is combined with minoxidil, everyone here have tried minoxidil rogaine or kirkland. Instead I will use minoxidil galenico (produced by the pharmacist) with the addition of antiandrogens such as 17 alpha oestradiol to 0.1 and cyproterone acetate.
Does anyone have experience with minoxidil + antiandrogens + dermapen? Thank you

Shouldn't be a problem but CPA is some potent sh*t.
I just completed my 12th rolling session last night.
While I still see no new hairs whatsoever (neither vellus nor terminal), I observed a change:
Even though my needling protocol is the same (same needle length, duration, number of passes), I had a significantly harder time achieving erythema than before. Also, the needles got stuck much more often than before. Maybe my scalp got either more lose or the skin thicker or less fibrotic? Don't know.
Two possible explanations I came up with:

Two possible explanations I came up with:
- Scalp changes because of microneedling for the past three months
- Scalp changes because I added intense daily (2 times a day) scalp massages into my regimen a week ago
potent = strong
What he means is you should be careful because CPA is very strong and can have strong effects (and strong side effects).

He means the cyproterone acetate is strong.
I'll keep an eye on this, as I'm following a similar protocol. 2 massages of 20 minutes every 12 hours. I'm just 1 needling session in, so I can't tell.

Yeah, I find that funny too. There's a long time roller, name's brohawk (3 years), he's rolling with an antiandrogen and Minoxidil I believe. After 3 years he's still seeing progress even when he's using a bunch of sh*t along with needling. 3. Years.

My diet
Minoxidil twice a day.
Microneedling 1.5mm once a week, or every 10 days
Biotin 5000mcg per day.
Dutasteride 3-4 days a week
initial photo. I add another photo comparing really my miniaturized hair.
I give importance to the dutasteride to be able to maintain the possible effects of the micro puncture. in order to stabilize the progress obtained if you get it in a few months after
sorry, it's the same year. only one picture is shaved and another one 5 months later. I uploaded the shaved photo to appreciate the difference between normal and miniaturized hair, because in the photo with long hair you can not appreciate
