Yeah, I might create a Reddit account to try and contact him; see if I can report whatever progress (or lack thereof) he's had. It's good to have info on long term cases.@Pigeon ... end of the month. Though I doubt he'll be back. It'll just lead to pages of pollution from trolls.
Time for me to post some pics I've never posted before. This was one of the most crucial aspects of this dermarolling experiment for me. To see if it would work on my diffuse sides... something very few people with normal male pattern baldness experience.
And, I have to say, it was a success.
My sides looked so shot to hell and diffuse and now they look restored:

now:

it's gunna be 3 months very soonI had similar thinning on the sides, and while I haven't got as good results as you (in 2 months), I am about 80% there. I think I can finally get a normal haircut with sides being shorter than the top without looking like I am balding too much.
Of course. The data is "public domain", anyone can do with it whatever they want.
Regarding my own results: They continue to be as non-existent as before. I am now 4 months in, still no results whatsoever. Want to report them again though as people were suggesting non-responders at the 4 month mark are only due to a lack of minoxidil.
To recap my regime:
- Weekly electric dermaneedling at 1.75 mm (only in affected areas, i.e. front and temples, plus 2 cm into my remaining hair and 2 cm below hairline)
- minoxidil 5% (rogaine) once a day
- Added scalp massages one month ago, haven't been doing them as regularly as I would have liked
- No results at all at 4 month mark
The new results published by @chen are very encouraging though. Basically he is doing what @Somebody (Alex) was doing very successfully. Maybe higher frequency is really the way to go? Or maybe, to reap the benefits of both deep but seldom needling and of shallow but more frequent needling, we could try to follow a hybrid approach? I was thinking as follows:
Basically, we would be alternating between deep and seldom needling, and shallow daily needling.
- needle deeply, at 1.75 mm
- let your skin heal for one week
- now needle daily at 1.0 mm for one week
- repeat
Opinions?
Thanks a lot @chen for not only answering our questions, but also for posting very helpful and insightful photos! Obrigado!
@chen could you answer the following questions, so we can get a better picture of your whole process and progress?
I created a full-blown survey for assessing/tracking everybody's progress here. I will send you the whole survey via PM. Take your time to answer it, it's a bit long.
- When did you start dermaneedling? (month + year)
- Since when do you use minoxidil? (month + year)
- Since when do you use finasteride? (month + year)
- What kind of device do you use for dermaneedling? (roller / stamp / electric pen)
- Which length are your needles? (in mm)
- How often do you needle?
- When did you see the first noticeable regrowth? (month + year)
It would be great through if you could already answer these 7 questions.
Thanks a lot!

On a side note, I'll be needling again soon after almost a month! Can't wait.
Almost 30 years ago, when my hair was first starting to recede, I visited a local practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine for advice. He sold me a tiny little wooden mallet with small needles embedded in it along with some topical herbs mixed into a very smelly liquid. He told me to tap my head daily with the mallet in the balding areas and then apply the medicine. I lasted one day and thought it was a ridiculous procedure that would never work.chens results are actually the most impressive yet as he has reversed that baldness shine stage

guys, what routine are you using?
i'm thinking of using 0.5mm dermaroller 2 times a week, use regaine straight after even though it might burn!
Do others use this protocol?
I currently do .25 mm twice a week and apply minoxidil right after in a addition to once a week 1.5mm wounding. There is a slght burn when apply minoxidil but nothing major.
I may up the frequency of .25mm rolling to once a day or perhaps keep it at twice a week but use a .5mm roller
Ive been in ninixidil for over a year, and have alsways been shedding since my hairloss. Since dermarolling almost 2 months ago, my shedidng has finally decreased and my diffuse hair loss is starting to fill in , waiting until the 3 month mark to post pics (march 22nd)
I do not remember, I think it was in April / May 2017 that I bought minoxidil, 2 months later it includes supplements,Of course. The data is "public domain", anyone can do with it whatever they want.

The formula I use is this:Congrats on your results man.
I’m thinking of adding sandalore to my regimen. I have a bottle of it and some ethyl alcohol. Is there anything else I should mix it with? And may I ask what ratio you are using?
Also, did u experience a shed when first using it? Thanks!
