My sides on finasteride were pretty prominent during the first 3 weeks. During the first 2 months after that they became less and less prominent. Now it's been two years and things are back to normal. Still have morning erections (a big marker for sexual health).

Can't find my baseline shots but I've thickened and improved the aggressive loss on my non-transplanted crown with my regimen of minoxidil, dermarolling and brotzu (latter is probably deadwood all evidence considered) It's been about 4 months although I only started noticing results 3+ months in, the only thing that changed is I use betadine as an anti-septic, don't know if that's linked just an observation.
Needling 7 months Total?? Now it should be time to see some

He does have Androgenetic Alopecia.
Man I remember when mine first started and family were telling me it's fine, it's normal, you're not going bald. They were wrong.
He clearly has a receding hairline and receding temples and I think the forum regulars should know what male pattern baldness looks like at this point. Don't lead people get to the point of no return, where it would be a miracle to get hair back because they followed someone's advice that they weren't balding.

@layabout
good work, solid gains and hair quality.
you are cured, now the only worry is.
1. will it shed at one point?
2. For how many years do you think minoxidil + derminator work for on you?
usually minoxidil alone isnt that great, but it looks like the wounding+minoxidil is really over powering the dht/hormones that is causing balding, atleast for now.
I wonder how long this regimen can work for on average. I'd say at the very very very least 5 years, and at best life time/too old skin to keep wounding

Maybe / maybe not.
4 months dermapen through really thick hair maybe the same as 0 months dermapen. Where you bleeding?
3 months pen. Are you 1.75mm - 2mm? Bleeding? If not maybe you need to bleed and do it hard for 6 more months.

I am sorry if this has been asked before but could you please share details of your regimen?
How many times do you microneedle? How hard do you go? Do you damage the scalp like some of the brutal microneedlers of this thread?
I really need to know because I am loosing hair on the sides and need to salvage them.

Had my first derminator session yesterday. Started off with 0.5mm in left temple, then moved to 1mm, wasn't feeling any pain. Went to 1.5mm and started bleeding immediately and was pretty painful but not unbearable.
Still have some noticeable redness today, pretty much as red as when I'd just finished yesterday, is this normal?
Also, not fully sure how to use the derminator, small circles or lines?

I think I'm going to have to stop minoxidil. Been having shortness of breath lately and almost a feeling like I'm going to pass out when exercising.

Using minoxidil right after dermarolling is very dangerous imo. We should use at least 24 hours later. If scars are big we need to wait a bit more.
He is actually one of the most inspiring microneedlers. He is just dermarolling lightly and no anti-androgens and minoxidil...as far as I know.
Unless he is a rare exception, it shows that microneedling may be 'first line of defence' against hairloss. Also perhaps an indication that once you have restored a full head of hair, simple microneedling regularly is enough to keep your hair.
