Is it normal to have a huge shed whennstarting needling? My hair has never looked worse and on my 4th session.

Not using minoxidil just finasteride which has slowly held most my hairline in place for 8years.

Yes of course. I'm on my 6th(?) session and I feel like I'm just about coming out of my shed. It got so bad that I was just watching it fall in front of my face. My top is pretty bad now however in the past week or so I'm noticing more vellus hairs up front and some that look dark as well. When I apply minoxidil I brush my hair back before brushing forward, and last night I noticed it stood up more and looked much better. Don't be discouraged, the hair that's shedding is weak hair and you don't want it anyways, it has to come out eventually so it might as well be now.

I had a VEEERY freaking itchy scalp. Now with rolling, it seems to get less and less. I also switched up my minoxidil to a formula without PG, that might be a factor, but my itch was also very specific to my hairline, and that is now disappearing as well. So I say go for it! Do you use a keto shampoo? That might help with inflammation as well.

Would you mostly attribute the decrease of itching to needling? Did it happen quickly, or was it slowly fading away?

I thought I was experiencing something similar. I FELT that immediately after needling my scalp would feel great and almost itch free for 2-3 days, even on my hairline. Then on day 4 I would feel the itch rebounding with a shed and my scalp would be flaking/peeling especially at hairline where my loss is the worst. I've done 6 sessions and it happens every time. Then on day 8 I do another session. This could be subjective but I felt that with every session the overall itchiness gets less gradually.

I am starting and stopping a lot of things in the past week though and my itch is coming back in vengeance to the point that I am losing faith in needling saving hairline on its own. Just curious if anybody else is experiencing this "slow decrease of itch" or is in my head.

I have the opposite. My head literally never itches, but since I’ve been microneedling I’ve noticed an itch for like 3/4 days afterwards. Goes back to normal after that though.

I cant comment if the itch get less gradually, but otherwise i have the same experience as you. For 2-3 days im itch free, but gradually the itch get worse til i needle again. Im just 3 sessions in, 2 weeks apart, and just use finasteride, no minoxidil yet.

 

[NilesCrane]

Just needled yesterday, love getting my erythema on

That sounds like skin healing. It's natural when you have tens of thousands of holes in your scalp. I feel that for the first 2-3 days if I sweat etc. too but I could tell it was different than male pattern baldness itch.

Huh...

I use finasteride too. I do feel that I get some lasting effects on the rest of my scalp. My crown and top still feels healthier even after the initial days. But my fear is that whatever needling does to combat inflammation is simply not enough to arrest my hairline loss

 

[Bill_Russo]

Guess I'll be needling next week.
It feels like f*****g forever since the last time and it's only been like 3 weeks...

 

[ZidaneBaldGod]

When i needle, the itching COMPLETELY stops for an entire week, and then i start to feel a little itch after 7-8 days.
But keep in mind, i don't get a lot of itching, even without needling. I usually only got itching when i had long hair but with buzzed hair? Nope.

Anyhow, i'm doing my 6th session, 1 month and 2 weeks of needling.
I usually notice that my hair starts looking shittier after 5-6 days, but after needling it looks super healthy.

Still no regrowth. I do notice a few, very tiny vellus around my hairline, but they are so tiny and miniaturized i don't think they are regrowth.
However, my hair looks super healthy and i'm mantaining for now. It's been almost two months and i can't say i noticed my hair getting worse, so i think this is a good sign.

You on minoxidil too or just needling?

 

[WMQ]

Anybody needling every 5-6 days instead of weekly?

Does that sound like a bad idea? I feel that by day 5 my scalp is mostly healed and for the remaining days I'm just sitting duck watching my hairs fall.

I do and I agree.

Only been needling for 6 weeks now and started minoxidil + Trinov + Finasteride around the same time so my progress isn’t really relevant for this thread, but my hair feels/looks a lot thicker and and seems like it’s filling out. First pic was a day before Christmas, second was yesterday. My hair is even shorter in the second pic

Looks like regrowth similar to mine.

Diffuse areas filling in 3/4 of the way all over.

Very, very good result. Don't ever stop needling lol, that should go without saying.

You inspired me to post some updated results even though I didn't intend to. I used the Derminator2 on Saturday btw.
All the following pics are in the same room, same position, same lighting:

so, once again, for the fiftieth time lol. same pics from beginning of treatment:



Warning though guys, I went outside in the sun today walking to uni and got kind of a slight headache, so we need to exercise caution since this our only real danger with microneedling which is sun exposure. I didn't wear my jacket hood because i didn't think the sun would really penetrate through but I guess it did. I would say limit sun exposure on scalp for 3-4 days after needling

Wow. Nice dude.

@layabout how do you get minoxidil into your hair when it's a longer length? It seems it would just get caught mostly in your hair.

@layabout how do you get minoxidil into your hair when it's a longer length? It seems it would just get caught mostly in your hair.

easy. you put the dropper right up against your scalp and then move it around without lifting it from scalp while letting drops go periodically
