I have been using Minoxidil twice a day for 4 months now without missing any dosage. I am currently using the third liquid bottle. I did not have any scalp visible from the front but after 4 months it's now clearly visible and getting worse every day. I see hair falling off when I style or tough my hair every time.
I feel some regrowth crown of the scalp but the front is the part I am really worried about. Yesterday out of desperation I also stared micro-needling with 1.5mm.
My questions are
1. can the shedding period be longer than 5-8 weeks (given that I am at week 16)?
2. can it work only on the crown and be bad around the temples?
3. Is there any reason for rapid loss at the front?
4. can I just use Minoxidil in the crown area without having an impact on the front?
5. Is it ok to use 1.5mm derma roller twice a week (Monday, Thursday night)?
6. how should I feel after a derma roller session? (I am brown so I did not see any redness on my scalp, I felt irritated feeling tingling first few hours, no pain next day)
Thanks
Tom
