Why did you stop rolling?

I got enough regrowth to stop stabbing my head weekly.

My success is due to both regimens. I had great initial growth, but then a period of stagnation. My hair saw increased thickening, and continues to thicken, after the introduction of dutasteride and oral minoxidil.
I wish i was as good a responder to oral minoxidil as some guys on here
i do have some results from it but nothing spectacular like that guy that recently made a thread. Most people only maintain on 5aris and maybe some regrowth but not enough to be cosmetically significant, unusual responders usually respond amazingly like this guy did with finasteride. https://www.hairlossexperiences.com/threads/true-dorin-transplant-or-propecia.1893/

My initial regimen of finasteride, liquid minoxidil and dermarolling, but there was a plateau. Oral minoxidil and dutasteride would have brought me my current results quicker if I had started with them first, just due to their known potency. If your biochemistry is suited to treatment, then more potent meds will give better results. That's how I view it. @Pigeon
Im assuming from your username you had diffuse thinning, i have diffuse thinning on my crown area and even using 0.5mg dutasteride, 200mg spironolactone, 10mg oral min and 10ml oral castor oil i still don't have as much density as i would like tbh.

I had diffuse thinning with a fully bald crown area. My crown was the first area to bald and the most stubborn to regrow.

Gotcha. I'm taking a break from needling myself. Just finished a once a week, 6 week trial of needling with a 36 hour fast. I did notice that it seemed to heal much faster than normal, although that could be all in my head.

I have been using the 16 pin but I may try the 36 pin . It should help with time .

Have a few questions:
1) How long do people spend rolling? I spend 3 minutes rolling my scalp and that draws blood. Is this enough time?
2) Does anyone roll their frontal hairline? How do you conceal the marks, wear a hat for 4 days??
3) Can someone expand upon "Dermapen"? Is it actually better or people just find it easier?
4) If Dermapen is better can someone recommend a product to buy in UK?

I’ve always known minoxidil to continue to work for up to 2 yrs and then it maintains thereafter. I know of many who’ve been maintaining well on minoxidil since the 90’s

Been on Minoxidil for over 10 years and still have hair with slight diffuse thinning. I dont know if the slightly worse thinning i experience now is because of seasonal shedding or me starting zinc /copper supplements (for anti greying purposes) or dropping 10 000mcg biotin (gave outbreaks) the last few months that I feel it has gotten slightly worse so im cutting down on supplementing to every other day. But i remember before i started taking minoxidil was losing hair quite badly and my hair just felt like sh*t. When i look at some photos from like 6-7 years ago. Honestly my hair looked worse then so it seems it has even improved over time. It could be because i use lipogaine too so. So minoxidil is working for me for sure. And needling makes my hair feel stronger and more alive. So i think if you start early with minoxidil or whatever treatmnt it could work . It could work even better if you are a diffuse thinner. But if you start you are in it for life. So remember that and decide how important your hair is to you.

I ordered the Derminator 2 and it’s taking forever to receive (no fault of the sender, shipping is just generally slow for the time being)
Until I receive it, what other microneedle / dermaroller product is readily available that works well, a bonus would be if it’s sold on Amazon
Edit: Never mind. Had to go to US Amazon and ordered the Dermapen M8 with the 22 cartridges package.

Hands down the best regrowth I’ve seen from treatments. Better than many hair transplants. Went from a few strands to fullblown chia-pet sprout. If it wasn’t for the second last picture I would have said he used concealers.

Skin looks good and and shiny. some lines in my forehead but not too deep, probably because of aging anyway. I work out and try to eat healthy (often rice chicken beef and veggies). Also take collagen powder, pomegrenade juice, fish oil, coconut water daily. Dont smoke either. Also important not to sleep just after youve applied minoxidil so that you dont get it on your pillow and eventually in your face. Ideally you could take a shower before you go to bed so you dont have anything on.
