Hello I always normally applied minoxidil morning and night. Now I am starting to apply also topical finasteride at night. How to apply both at night? Can they be applied immediately one after another? Is it better to apply one before another?

thanks, sounds promising! just a question out of curiosity: what does your nickname mean?

I used a 0.5 dermaroller in the beginning, then bought a new 0.75 one

That would be better, sure. But as I said I quit fina (that worked well on my hair) becuase of sides long ago. Also, this thread started with a focus on two main studies (chinese and indian) that experimented dermarolling WITHOUT fina. The whole point here was to find an alternative to fina. Of...

May be depend from the age? I lost hair for 20 years, and somebody think it takes longer to recover hair lost long ago. In fact in my case the recovered hair (on the top of the head) has been lost over the last few years, while crown and front has been lost many years before. How old are you?

Hello, here my six months results. Start: pics 1,2. Three months mark: pics 3, 4. Six months mark: pics 5,6,7. Nothing impressive, but anyway something happened. Thicker and darker hair, and more density especially where some hair was already existing. I will keep going until 2 years mark and...

Same here: minoxidil 5% 2 ml, twice per day. So its 4ml per day.

This is what Im doing. 1.5/2mm wounding every 10/15 days. Let it heal for 3 days, then 0.5 dermarolling every evening. minoxidil twice per day.

Omg, relax.. I mean, with medium speed I can better control how much wounding I want to create. With fast speed I tend to get blood immediately, maybe even too much. So I use medium speed and I have more time to reach the level of wounding I want. I obviously didnt mean I can control how much...

For me fast is too much. I wound at 2mm with medium speed and I can better control the result I want to get.

Not true for me. I use derminator at 2mm and a dermaroller for mild rolling at 0.5, previously used it at 1mm. The dermaroller hurts much more! Derminator wounds much more at 2mm but pain is minimal.

during the 2,5 years did you also take minoxidil, or just mild dermarolling? and how often did you dermaroll, how deep?

My understanding is that microneedling every 10/14 days is done for wounding: creating blood spots all over the scalp. Every person has a different sensitivity and feel more or less pain. So for somebody is better 1.5, for other 2. I personally do it at 1.5 on the frontline and 2 elsewhere. The...

Totally agree. We have seen some examples of great results, but it still to be seen if these are exceptions or common results. According to the chinese study everybody had success, but I am still unsure if this is really the case. I started one and half month ago only, but so far zero results. I...

I started dermarolling+minoxidil one month ago. I am actually trying to set for a similar regimen: derminator at 1.5/2mm every ten days, then 2/3 days healing followed by soft dermarolling every day (ideally twice a day as Chen). I started the daily dermarolling part at 0.75mm, but I cannot...
