Minoxidil with Microneedling - one a week?

[Starman99]

I'm sure this has been asked many times but is once a week microneedling with twice a day minxodil enough for regrowth?

yes, once a week is usually considered ideal

For the past week I've been testing .35mm microneedling once a day right before applying liquid minoxidil. My 2nd application is mixed with RU58841 or finasteride (I alternate the 2), but don't microneedle before dosage this because both gave sides in the past when I needled prior. My theory is that weak responders are possibly lacking proper absorption.

I do 2mm once a month. I just hope it's helping a little at least

I'm considering microneedling every day possibly 2 hours before my night application of minoxidil. I won't do it vigorously and will do that once a week

I just use .35mm on my dr pen and try to be thorough, I hit my bad areas as well as 2 inches into good area, but I only spend about 2 minutes doing it. In comparison, when I was doing my weekly 1.5mm sessions it would take 20 minutes.

I use 0.5mm every other day for absorption and 1mm once per week.
