Its a good addition.

I use a 1.5mm 520- needle dermaroller.

I press the dermaroller soft to mild on the skin till some drops of blood appear then stop. Apply the minoxidil right after.

@Somebody has a youtube channel explaining his method which is very similar to the one im doing

Disinfect the dermaroller before and after use.

Good luck and if you grow some new hair post pics :)

So is this like a Norwood 4/5? Guess it doesn't really matter, point is I need to do something about it. Maybe I should look into dutasteride instead of finasteride.

Kagaho, before you used dermarolling, did you see regrowth while on dutasteride? Shed?

@Jesse Navarro no regrowth from dutasteride.

I started september 2013 and suffer a massive shedding that lasted till february.

Regrowth is not really common if you rely solely on antiandrogens.

Thank god i found somebody's thread and learned about the benefits of dermarolling combined with minoxidil.

@LosingHairIsNotFair I think you are past NW3 Vertex and diffuse all over.

If i were you i would attack the problem with the heavy guns and complementary angles before its too late.

I mean:

Alpha reductase inhibitor: Avodart
Wounding technique: Dermarolling/stamp 1.5mm once a week at least
Growth Stim: minoxidil

And maybe adding an antiandrogen like RU or CB can help with preserving your current hair.

Give it a good year. If that regimen doesnt work, consider a hair transplant.

Was finasteride actually working for you when you were on it? Did you get some regrowth or just maintenance if it did?

I think I at least maintained and got a little regrowth, maybe. My dermatologist, who took pictures, told me that I was getting some hairline regrowth and my family told me it looked thicker.

So, hopefully, I get at least decent results this time around.
