Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated.

I've been on finasteride for several months and my hair seems to be holding steady or slightly improving which is good. I was using 1 mg generics and splitting them into 2 for a 0.5 mg dose. I saw my doctor and was able to be switched to the 5 mg pills at pretty much the same price per pill...

Hey everyone, just an update. I feel like I've reached the limits of what I can get with Minoxidil alone. I'm still happy enough with my results but they are not as strong as the best photos I have posted here yet stronger than baseline still. Overall this is quite positive because I am still...

None of the Canadian online pharmacies I've seen offer this unfortunately. Can anyone comment as to whether going to a walk-in clinic was successful for them?

I've been using Minoxidil for a long time now and I'm finally starting to see the limits of my growth. I'm seeing some thinning on the top in the right lighting conditions, it's not enough to bother me much yet but I want to be proactive and see if I can do much about this before it gets...

I just saw them quite recently. After probably my 4th roll. They were mostly white but quite dense, some of them were more light blonde in colour (my actual hair colour is dirty blonde/light brown). I shaved them off a few days ago just so I could keep a better eye on if they start to...

I have rolled 5 times so far. I feel a very good blood circulation after rolling. Focusing mainly on the temples, I've noticed many more vellous hairs growing in that area. They haven't matured yet but I'm seeing no real downsides so I will continue and see if it develops into anything serious.

Got another roll in today. I can feel blood flowing in my scalp and along the temple. Got a fair bit more blood this time. Attached image is my "bad" temple that I rolled quite hard today.

I'm doing the rest of the scalp it's just hard to show pics cause I have good coverage. What more can I do, I'm using a 192 needle 1.5, completely bottoming out the needles and doing at least 4 passes in different directions for that. I'm just not getting much redness, just lots of little...

This is only my second roll, I'm focusing on my "bad" temple. Is this about the right amount of damage to do? I had a couple drinks and applied numbing cream to go this hard:

Any tips for rolling where you have hair (just not as dense as you'd like). I feel like I'm not getting that direct needle to scalp connection anywhere besides my temples due to my hair. I don't really want to cut my hair any shorter (it's about an inch long). Should I just blast it from all...

I tried a harder roll last night along the front hairline. I'm definitely going as far in as I can, I'm bottoming out the needles. I'm getting lots of bloody spots (I prob had about 25-30 along the hairline). But they seem to heal easily and I get no redness otherwise. Is this normal? It is...

I've only done one real roll so far, waiting for my numbing cream to push a bit harder. Is there any reason not to only focus on trouble areas? For me that would be the temples (which have receeeded, one is worse than the other I'd almost call the bad one NW3 material the other is definitely...

Whats the rationale on not using minoxidil right after? Is it due to risk of getting it in your blood? It seems like a great chance to ensure a high absorption.

Got my roller in today. Just gave it a test run, not quite as hard as I"m supposed to go but wanted to test my skins response before I go all in. Pain is a bit borderline, on the scalp it is tolerable, almost invigorating but on the bare temples it's a bit too sharp, I'll have to pick up a...
