I live in the US and I’m looking to schedule an FUE transplant. I’m currently in the process of requesting a consultation with Dr. Rahal as I have read he is the hairline king. Does Hasson & Wong have better results or reviews? I lack density around the entire scalp but don’t have any bald...

Minor sides would be more on the cognitive side. I feel not as sharp some days, words don’t come as easily to mind or I’m not as quick witted. Hard to describe, but this side was more pronounced on 1mg. I can tolerate this majority of the time because it’s minor, but I know it’s there. Libido...

1mg if Propecia did enlarge my nipples and it definitely was leading to gyno about 1 year into taking this dosage. However, I don’t understand how one doesn’t immediately stop taking the drug once their chest/nipple gets this severe. I stopped after 1 year and fortunately my chest/nipples...

Be prepared to lose all your gains from Finasteride. You will see your hair deteriorate over the course of the next 6-8 months. Minoxidil and Dermarolling will not save your hair unfortunately or produce any cosmetic results without finasteride. It’s a fact. Dermarolling is a helpful addition...

Guys, for what’s its worth, dermarolling alone will do little to nothing in terms of regrowing or even maintaining your hair without an androgen blocker and also minoxidil. I know this from personal experience. Having been on Finasteride and using Minoxidil for many years, I incorporated...

Where does everyone get their oral minoxidil. I literally hear zero people discuss oral minoxidil as a highly effective treatment for hair loss. Zero. Now apparently it is by far superior to that of it’s topical counterpart? Don’t get it.

I assume you’re using Finasteride in addition to Minoxidil and the DermaPen? I don’t see how these results are possible without an anti-androgen.

Outside of the thread starter, is anyone having any results using minoxidil + Derma Pen without using finasteride? I was having tremendous success using both finasteride + minoxidil + Derma Pen, but have been off finasteride for 3 months and I’m losing significant ground. I firmly believe dermarolling in addition to using...

Correct, but I was just wondering for the mass majority that are doing this now if the results have been great for those not using finasteride.

By curiosity, is anyone seeing great results without finasteride? I’m looking to get off the drug completely (only taking 0.5mg EOD), but I am concerned minoxidil and using the dermapen weekly won’t be as effective together without finasteride. Thoughts?

I use the same pen the thread starter uses (believe the A6) and I experience skin flaking on day 5 after rolling. Keep in mind, I roll until the skin feels like it’s been sunburned and the pain is intolerable. I rarely dermaroll to the point where all my skin is bleeding. My skin simply looks...

The majority of you guys going at a depth of 2mm or deeper? 2mm causes redness and occasional blood dots for me, but nothing close to some of these butchering blood photos I’m seeing of some of your scalps. I have noticable redness that lasts 72 hours after every session. However, do I need to...

For anyone who is experiencing shedding a month or two in I encourage you to NOT give up! My hair looked noticeably worse 2 months into dermarolling and I freaked out. Decided to stick it out and now almost 3.5 months in of weekly rolling my hair looks better than it ever has! Every week my...

Yes, I do a session every Friday night. I have immediate redness and then it subsides. However, after the redness goes away my skin in the area remains darkened/discolored. I assume it’s because I went out in the sun a couple days later, but it’s only darkened in the area’s I roll. I either...

I’ve noticed the skin in my temple area has started to show some discoloration. Like my skin in the areas I use the pen are becoming darkened and discolored compared to the rest of my scalp. Looks weird. Will this fade over time? Is this the result of dermarolling too frequently? I currently...
