all the threads I'm viewing recently on the forum about the dermaroller always has great results. Is dermarolling worth giving the effort for example 6 months or so? Thats how long they say its going to show results.
There are currently two popular methods to use the dermaroller with minoxidil.
1) Roll lightly just before applying minoxidil (this is to increase absorption)
2) Roll once, fairly hard, every 7 days, and do NOT apply minoxidil for 24 hours after this session. The purpose of this method is to induce collagen in the scalp by "wounding" it.
Many have tried both methods, some reporting great success with either/or. What you choose is up to you. There was a decent study done with the second method. There is also a poster on here who got darn good results in less than six months with method 2. "Somebody" is a well known poster who got good results with method 1, however, he is a great responder to Finasteride, which I think contributes to the majority of his success.
Maybe you're a slow responder, also why not buy a dermapen?
