Yep I know man, I'm patient and aware of hair cycles, I'll keep at minoxidil for at least another year

Just so you guys have a bit of a reference; during his 5 year period of wounding, Kitedude used Minoxidil for 6 months in the beginning, then dropped it and kept wounding. Did not lose any gains up until he got lazy and stopped wounding.
Not saying this will apply to everyone, but it's the best example we got so far.

I used to do just massage, detumescence therapy, along with some supplements (like ecklonia cava, MSM) and maintained my hair for a few years

I just think the minoxidil kept my hair at baseline for a few years, but eventually it got thinner, but I've still been using it because I don't want to lose what's there already. That's why I'm really hoping when I get the desired results, I can just drop minoxidil and maintain with wounding alone. That would be f*****g amazing, but I'm afraid shedding will occur anyway. The hair that's been there for years is dependent on that sh*t, but still if wounding could keep it, it'd be incredible.

Hair is not dependent on minoxidil, it's dependent on the effects the drug has on your scalp environment. Looking at the mechanisms behind minoxidil; antiinflammatory, increased bloodflow, vasodilation, inhibition of scalp dht (probably due to increased blood oxygen levels), wounding achieves all this over a longer duration. Makes perfect sense that the combination is synergistic, but once you have completely remodeled your scalp I think minoxidil won't be necessary. Yes this is me theorising, we'll find out the answer in due course.

Let's hope so man.
Because I KNOW he will lose the minoxidil gains. If you are a responder to minoxidil you will only keep your gains as long as you keep on using it. You cannot keep minoxidil gains with something that is not minoxidil.

Anyone got any results on dermarolling alone? With no minoxidil?
Tbh i would be satisfied with maintenance with slight thickening since i have diffuse thinning.
I have a 1,5mm dermaroller that i can use.

Not trying to be rude, but you literally have to go 4-5 pages back to find a post with a success story doing needling alone (well, with scalp massages).
Please, people. Not saying you have to read the whole thing, but at least make the effort of reading some of the last pages before asking questions.
It's not just him, by the way. A few people here have had success doing needling with no Minoxidil.

Stop clogging it up the f*****g thread if you can't read a few pages then. You have time to write and waste others time but not to read. Zero patience for people like this

Lets be honest....what you are saying is true, when you only have 1 variable....minoxidil on its own....when you are adding in Microneedling, that MAY not be the case, its something we are going to have to find out by testing and something I will be doing...if once im happy with the amount of regrowth in a year or so, I will slowly stop minoxidil, but carry on needling.

Because YOU KNOW. Based on what exactly? Clap clap, well done on your great points and contribution to the thread. Your probably won't recognise this as sarcasm either. This place is full of absolute muppets. Good luck to the people actually contributing here, but I'm outta here. I may try to bring back stopaga if the server and database hasn't been dropped
Good luck with that. minoxidil is potent and your hair will rely on it.
Dude, I am almost here for a decade. I probably have read hundreds of cases like this and it never EVER worked. I am only trying to help you by saying that your plan will not work. Sure, that might not be what you want to read but it is the truth regardless.
Good luck.

More f*****g guesswork. I try to make a valid argument and simpletons just come back with the same regurgitated sh*t. Public forums are a joke

Well ive been slowly losing my hair on it for the last 5 years....Microneedling is the only thing ive tried that's made a positive difference....so we shall see.

If microneedling is helping then why jump in minoxidil only to come off of it and be behind baseline?

My plan has already worked, I've maintained my hair for the past 5 years without drugs. I put up a thread 30 pages long full of photos of me regrowing my hair with dermarolling ALONE. Please stop spilling guesswork

Because I've always been on minoxidil and don't want to stop while im trying to regrow hair and the studies suggest using both together is best for regrowth...when it comes to maintenance I will try and drop the minoxidil...if it has a negative affect, then ill go back on.
