I'm using a dermapen once a week and going 1mm deep. I go over the scalp til it's red, never til I bleed.

Exactly 3 months of dermaneedling tomorrow (been on finasteride + min for multiple years). I think I've gotten a little regrowth, mainly on the lower left side of the crown and slightly on the right side of the crown. Overall regrowth is not much compared to what I lost, hopefully it can improve in the...

I'm a diffuse thinner and I feel like I need to use significantly higher doses of minoxidil than recommended for the minoxidil to cover all thinning areas - is this overkill? Will thinning areas not exposed to minoxidil still gain effect if nearby areas get some minoxidil?

I used the Dermapen for the first time yesterday. I did 1 mm and it was really not that painful, on both low and high speed settings, though I mostly used the lower speed settings. Have you guys experienced delayed redness of the scalp? Areas I didn't manage to turn red went red after 1-2...

If you dermapen once a week on 1-1.5mm, going for slight redness - how long does your scalp usually stay red? Gone by the next day?

How common is bleeding? I see these fucked up pics and they look awful. Are they doing that on purpose, pushing the pen extra hard too bleed? Or does bleeding depend on the person? I've ordered a pen, but this sh*t makes me wary. Redness is fine, but a f*****g bloodpool will not.

Thanks for the information. Regarding my hairlines centerpoint/widows peak, I've been thinking of shaving it for a long time so that won't be a problem. It have always been a bit protruding, even before the hairloss. I've previously, like 5 years ago when I was 21, done a consultation with dr...

It depends on this whole Covid-thing and whether my boss approves my chosen vacation weeks. I need to be gone for atleast 3-4 weeks, if I don't get that approved I may have to wait atleast til winter or later. If things subsides by summer I will probably consider Turkey, and probably one of the...

I'm definitely considering that. However, if I can avoid shaving my head, I would be willing to pay more for that option. I've seen operations where they did not shave the head at all, but they implanted the grafts only at the hairless areas of the hairline. In my case I would have to get...

I've been on finasteride for almost 6 years. Why is it more difficult if I already have hair in a region I want to add density to?

I'm 26 years old. Started balding aggressively when I was very young. Been on finasteride for almost 6 years which have halted the hair loss for the most part. Hardly any regrowth though. I want a hair transplant. How many grafts would be enough to lower my hairline and fill in a little bit of the...

In November it'll be 5 years since I started taking finasteride. So far, finasteride have proven to be effective in stopping my hairloss. However, actual regrowth or thickening have been pretty limited. What you see on my previous pics in this thread is what my hair still today looks like...

Is there any differences between different Dr Pens? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dr-Pen-Microneedle-Derma-Pen-Ultima-A6-A7-A1-Electric-Dermapen-cartridges-Needle/173654039239?hash=item286e965ac7:m:m9Qk-MHBNVLDi47VupNsbzg&frcectupt=true...

Been on finasteride and min for over 3 years. Minoxidil never did any, finasteride have given me some slight regrowth. I suspect those who get amazing results microneedling are mainly just minoxidil responders, is there really a good chance for decent regrowth through dermapen for us who never had any regrowth...

I haven't experienced any sides. During these years I've missed taking my dose for maybe a maximum of 3-4 days. I've been taking Finasteride Accord 1mg since day one.
