Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless

[indie85]

Pretty good. Nothing really special about his routine. He is just on Big 3 / Dermaroll 1.5mm weekly. The one thing that he had going for him is he went from nothing to full on attack mode. Where a lot of us added this ammo slowly overtime so it wasn't as drastic. Either way, great results.

I'm currently doing the same regimen, except doing 1.0mm once every 2 weeks since I've buzzed me head. Not sure which frequency or depth is better at this point... hair hasn't changed much in the last few years.

Yeah, I agree about going all in at once. I think a lot of the body works on a kind of 'weight' of signals, so the switch to start growing is only turned on if growth factors outweigh inhibitors. Balding guys have a constant stream of inhibitors hitting their follicles, so to overcome this, perhaps all at once treatments prevents any adaptation and subsequent down weighting of these growth signals.

OK here is a better before after

This is from March 2017 taken at the hair transplant clinic, you can see diffusing through my mid scalp, no grafts put there however. Just for my hairline

Now this was taken April 2020, diffusion has gone, I tried to part my hair and expose any scalp. A lot better now

Great progress man!

Your wavy hair is similar to mine, but I have lots of grey on the sides, try using a good organic conditioner and then blow dry your hair only on cool setting while brushing, should help make wavy hair more manageable.

For those of you that can't use minoxidil, perhaps this study would be of interest:
Study to Determine Effect of Gentle Wounding to Stimulate Hair Follicle Neogenesis

Drug: Retinoic acid
The study team will treat skin with topical retinoic acid

Make sure you're not pushing hard with the pen. The idea is to float the needles slowly across the scalp.

How's your hair doing?

Same, maybe a little worse than it was a few years ago? Definitely still battling.
Currently on The Big 3 (Just started minoxidil twice a day instead of once) + Microneedling 1mm (Bi Monthly) + Massaging 5 Minutes a day (just restarted this)

Seems to be a good maintenance yes.
Point is, i was diagnosed in 2001, at 21.
This is a battle we can fight

You're 40 and you have hair like that, because you have very, very mild male pattern baldness.

Treatments haven't maintained your hair, your genetic makeup has.

Unfortunately that is very likely the case.

I was diagnosed at 21 by a dermatologist.
Here's two pics of me at 27 (the one on the left)

Good luck

@badhabiz Bro, your hair still looks very good, maybe some minor temple recession but still.

No, you don’t have male pattern baldness, at most a high hairline.

His hair looked good before but it does look way thicker now

 

[Badbald]

Also if you look a this pics from way back when with the short hair the one where the face is half cropped it looks way worse then what it is now

 

[AlwaysSouth]

These docs say 1mm to 1.5mm.

They also explained for shedding.

PRP = Derma Rolling?

No hair loss at all, just a mature hairline.
