I'd say use 1mm
A roller and derminator are completely different. The needles aren't penetrating the skin completely with a roller, so a 1.5mm roller might get you 1mm of penetration, a 1mm roller .5mm. Somebodyalex used a 1.5 with a light touch so he was probably getting .5mm of penetration.
I've ordered a 1mm and will see how I go with that, might get a 1.5mm if I don't feel it's going deep enough. I thought it better to start of light and go deeper later as otherwise it might put me off when I have blood outing down my face after the first go
Aren't you the guy who had amazing results with Dutas?

Kind of misleading because of light, hair style / length, angle etc, but this was my hair just before I came off dutasteride, and my hair 4 months later... Crazy how much I've lost, although I'm guessing I've shed and some of it will actually grown back
I would probably say stick with the 1mm roller and avoid the derminator but that's just me, some of the best results i have seen come from rolling at that depth before applying minoxidil. Im still a bit unsure about the follica protocol tbh, i know they have invested a lot of time and money in to it but i still have some doubts about how effective it is.

Wow, those are some crazy results! Why on Earth did you stop taking it?
Some gyno underneath that sweater or am i wrong? Why did you quit the dutasteride?
Haha nah just slightly unflattering jumper... Does look like I've got tits in that photo but definitely don't / didn't.
I'm 40 so just decided to get off everything, give my liver a break (see post above) and go bald gracefully. Obvs 3-4 months on I hate my hair and back on here looking for the latest new fad haha
Heh, good it's not gyno, you look good for 40. Had sides on it, feel any different after 4 months now?
Thanks, I think that's a problem when you have a bit of a young face but then going bald, just looks weird. Going to grow it a bit longer again but unless I can recover what I've lost definitely not as long as I had it in that pic. Maybe stick to short but not shaved so I can derma roll etc easier.
I feel like sh*t in all honesty haha, but that's because I suffer badly from migraines which because of stress have knocked me out for the last few months... I'm self employed with a family of four and lost all my income for 6+ months due to covid, so it's difficult to say coming off the hair regime has made me feel x or y, as overall I've just been not well. Had another round of bloods though and my liver was more or less back to normal so that's good
Had some blood tests and my liver count came back super high, not 100% sure why but the only thing I could put it down to was dutasteride.
I'd had general fatigue and an uncomfortable feeling under my right ribs for a year or so, both signs of liver issues... Who knows, maybe not the dutasteride but can't think of anything else it could be, plus found some small studies online that suggested long term dutasteride isn't good for your liver (finasteride didn't show any issues though).
Damn sorry to hear that bro, really sorry. Try to keep positive and keep your head up and keep fighting the world is not looking good for most people now but we will get through this also and a lot of things will change to better i think, but it takes time unfortunately... Good luck and be safe you and your family
Yikes, that's scary. You're not a big drinker or anything? Also, have you considered lowering your dutasteride dose? Some have done well only using it twice a day.
