It's been a while since I posted but very happy to come and see a lot of activity on this thread still. I've continued with Derminator (nowadays at 2mm) at irregular intervals (aim to once every 2-3 weeks). Crown is looking much better and it's the area that responded best, it's incredible...

The fact that wounding isn’t enough for some individuals or in other words, response is very different (from 0 to 100 scale) is the same as with any other treatment for any other condition. Just an example: many people can achieve headache removal with paracetamol, but I can swear it doesn’t do...

How did you do it? How do you notice it’s harder?

I’m very surprised about how fast healing is on my scalp nowadays. I did derminator yesterday and today 90% of the redness is gone. The first sessions the redness would last uncomfortably long time (4 days). I always use new needles and new settings. Body is amazing.

I don't know how long you've been wounding but I got pretty much your bloody result (I'm way beyond your norwood so much more noticeable) during the first sessions, also with 1.5mm and fast. After the first bunch of sessions (say 4-5) I only get the sunburn effect now and the skin recovers in...

Context: been dermarolling with Minoxidil every 2 weeks at 1.5 mm, taking pictures every couple weeks (although not shared here due to bad experiences in the past) bleeding a lot in the beginning and nowadays skin recovers rather quickly. Started dermarolling on Dec/Jan and only added minoxidil...

Why do you guys keep replying to him, I can't understand... it's such low-effort bait.

Just a quick small update. I can clearly see longer vellus in the middle of the temples (specially left) i.e. where there hasn't been hair for 8+ years. Again nothing cosmetically interesting (it's a slick bald area otherwise) but never had such response before IIRC. Just hope they won't stay...

It's nice to see another buzzed scalp like mine - it definitely shows progress much more clearly. Once every 2 weeks is also my schedule and has been yielding good results so far. Best of luck mate.

May I ask why? There are a bunch of cases where people wouldn't see results until much later. 3 months isn't really much for any treatment. I wouldn't be disheartened just yet.

(Quoting myself) So I decided to start using Nizoral again and I can say the itch is greatly reduced to the point where I think the small itches here and there might be just normal. So something to consider for all itchy friends here if you weren't using it

I can definitely see those and even this morning I noticed a single hair in the very front, quite far from the rest. Probably somewhere where my original hairline was. These kind of things make you even happier (even though I’m buzzed and I already see a lot of changes overall).

I agree with the first part almost entirely (except that healing of the scalp is just 2 days, it’s much longer - but I get what you meant) and also wanted to add something. If we assume for a moment that dermarolling helps to get rid of fibrosis (not a small assumption though), it’d imply that...

Is anyone collecting pictures to have them in a centralized place or post (ideally the first one of this thread)? I wanted to talk to my balding friend about this, I showed my improvements but obviously would like to show him more evidence so that he can give it a try. Latest two cases (@chen...

The itch between needling and daily Minoxidil is so annoying. Any tips regarding this?
