You have been on big 3 and needling for more than 6 months and still no result?

I never said that I am not seeing results. I am not in a hurry.
I have been on big 3 for almost 3 years now. Switch from finasteride to dutasteride about 1.5 years ago.
Started needling 4 months ago (I am following a modified @chen regimen).
1mm daily mild rolling
2 mm weekly hard rolling
Hair grows in cycles. It took years to lose all that hair, so it will also take some time to grow it back.
I will report any progress/failure with pictures when I am confident enough that the regimen was succesful or a failure.

Thank you for the information 
also, what do you think about using the 15% minoxidil from minoxidilabs.com ? I hear it was just as effective and good as dr Lees formula (not sure if that's the guy who originally made xandrox formula or not) so far I'm using morr f 10% minoxidil with 1% finasteride but I just started on this . I hear others talking well about this brand so there's that I will see how it goes and if it helps me get back my hairline.

Those using derma pens, on what speed are you running them on????????
I am using the slowest speed, I figured it would hurt less for one (tho I feel maybe fast speeds would hurt less?) and maybe the needles would penetrate better that way , but even at the lowest speed the needles go in and out so fast you cannot see the needles retracted at any point and it's as if the needles are hanging out all the time so when you place the pen on your scalp it's like hovering at a distance. I am wondering if the needles are going in properly or whether I should be pushing the pen against my skull harder to make sure they puncture the skin? I wish the pen could be switched to manual and the needles would only come out once when you press, this way you are sure it goes in. Is that what derma stamping is? Or is derma pen and derma stamping the same thing?

Hi guys
I started microneedeling 3 weeks ago and I just had my third session.
So far nothing new regarding growth but I do remark one thing. I have always had itchy and inflamed scalp with several hurting acne cysts breaking up periodically in the same place. No shampoo or lotion would ever help.
I thought I would have to live with it for the rest of my life.
Well, I have not had breaks since I had first needling session. The scalp is not itchy any more nor painful, inflamed. It feels fresh and different.
Furthermore, my scalp was always greasy. Well, it’s not greasy any more.
I don’t know if my hair will come back, but there is no doubt it makes good to the scalp.
Anybody experience something alike?

It
It's definitely therapeutic. Male pattern baldness definitely has something to do with a circulation problem throughout the whole body. Getting blood flowing feels f*****g good.

Another anecdotal thread in favour of peppermint oil.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/cexbcr/im_here_to_vouch_for_peppermint_oil/
Anyone here who is not getting results from needling may want to try peppermint oil.
I will try it too but only after I've completed a year with dermarolling so that I can provide my report here whether "only" dermarolling worked or not. If dermarolling doesn't work after a year, I'll add peppermint.

Still waiting for my 1.5 mm dermarollers. Dunno what to expect growth wise. Would be great if it can somehow help with greasy scalp

I tried it. It did nothing against minoxs cosmetic side effects.
What are minoxidil cosmetic side effects? And are they permanent or do they disappear after quitting minoxidil?

Good question. Does it disappear if you quit minoxidil?
@tressful I use peppermint oil in my mixture of oil. Along with saw pometto that is said to be a dht blocker. It's something I recommend you tinker with.

The dumb autist thinks that everyone that doesn't align within his fairtale worldview of stopping baldness by sticking nails on your scalp repeatdly is now a f*****g Merck shill, imagine.
Once again, you dumb low IQ subhuman, I already explained how dutasteride with mesoteraphy seems like a safe way to go as it doesn't go systemic, so im going to try that next. This is higher on my priority list than f*****g around with having a constant inflammed scalp prone to infection, which from the evidence in this thread all that it is doing is increased minoxidil absorption anyway. I don't rule out WNT pathway benefits and I will do it myself once a month or so, however IT'S MORE IMPORTANT to decrease androgenic activity.
And AGAIN, you could use all the dermapens and rollers in the world, without decreasing 5AR and DHT you are going to bald you dumb f***.
The only way you could continue going back with 100% depletion of DHT is due high testosterone sensitivity, otherwise women would be going bald at the same rate as men you total pea size brain cuckold.
We all can play that f*****g card of posting studies of anything linking to cancer, including dermarolling:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21321199
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21321207
So there, have fun going bald by not inhibiting androgen activity on your scalp in ANDROGENETIC alopecia.

Have you got your hormones checked? What was your Norwood grade when you started?
dutasteride obviously f*****g works, thus proving DHT is a major key on this disease:
What further proof do you need than f*****g twins.
Of course, people still go bald on dutasteride. I saw a guy running an experiment consisting on being on dutasteride while taking shots of testosterone, he continued balding. So I suspect there's people out there with increased sensitivity for testosterone on the scalp for whatever the f*** reason, as well as the destruction caused on the scalp being too much for you to respond if you get too late (the point of all treatments is to halt hairloss, attempting to grow hair is in most cases delusion)

@infinitepain It takes 1 hour for me to have the full effect of lidocaine on my scalp

My entire faced looked tired. I looked like a drug addict who didnt sleep for a week. The dark eye bags were the worst.
I didnt believe minoxidil could do this until i experienced it myself. No hair in this world is worth it. It doesnt seem to happen to everyone though. I was just one of the unlucky ones.
Yeah it goes away after a month.

because they're idiots and the entire study was probably poorly monitored and executed.
Some really weird people ITT, get so defensive if you question their faith in a certain treatment.
There is not and never has been a single credible account of someone adding microneedling ALONE and having visible results due to this. Absolutely everyone ITT started another treatment at least 6 months before or 6 months after beginning microneedling, which completely nullifies any evidence that microneedling alone does anything other than tear up your scalp and lose small amounts of blood.
Sorry but 1 vague study in a borderline 3rd world country with no photo evidence or background checks into patients previous or current medications is not evidence of anything.
Just be like me and get a transplant, or keep hurting yourself every week while frantically looking for 'progress' in the form of vellus peach fluff and convincing yourself its working.
