Did he really? Come onnnnnnn!!!!Haha lol, i can't believe you did it lol
Are you sure it's not from over squinting while microneedling? Coz I have also noticed deeper forehead wrinkles and I am sure that's the reason coz they deepen right after my sessions. It's just very awkward microneedling while you look up at your scalp in the mirror to see what you are doing! My eyebrow muscles also tire and sometimes they stay a bit stuck up a few hours after I am done lol! And I don't use minoxidil or anything else, so it's just from overstressing my face muscles.. So I would imagine it would be worse for you, since you are using topicals known to give aging effects? And I have only done 3 sessions and I can already notice the wrinkles deepening, you have been at it longer.Read my post again tard. It's 2 months not 3 weeks. Anyways Im happy with enough baby hair so I will stop using it for now
Of course you can know whether deep, weekly needling is better/worse than daily, shallow needling. Just do one on a side of your scalp, and the other one in the opposite side. We should take advantage of our bilateral symmetry.Doing a personal experiment considering that I'm happy with the results in the front for now. I can afford to wait for further results in the front.
I'm gonna microneedle everyday with 0.5mm in the crown and no deep microneedling at all. If I'm doing both types of microneedling then we may not know if a higher frequency regimen is more effective or not.
At worse I'll go for 0.5 mm every other day which is still 15 sessions in a month compared to 4.
Also switched to minoxidil with finasteride in it 2 months ago and still nothing in the crown.

Im doing that currently. 1.5mm/week on one side. mild needling on the other side, every second dayOf course you can know whether deep, weekly needling is better/worse than daily, shallow needling.

Also, this experiment is being undertaken by me and by @longtimelurker. It would be great if more people jump into such an experiment.
Good luck. Your results look amazing.Not yet. I'm hoping another 6 months of microneedling and I'll get my crown back to where it was at 18 years old
So prp has been known to not work but there are rumors that combined with needling there's positive effect. Anyone else hear things about this?
I do not understand why people insist on using needles of more than a 1.5, or pressing hard enough to bleed.
A dermaroller of 1.5 mm sized needles was rolled over the affected areas of the scalp in a longitudinal, vertical, and diagonal directions until mild erythema was noted, which was considered as the end point of the procedure.

I do PRP and needling at a dermatology clinic. I can’t tell you whether it’s the PRP, Needling, or both which has helped me. I’m happy with the results so I’m not inclined to figure out what exactly is helping.
There’s quite a few success stories here to tell me that perhaps needling does play a role. If you also recalls @westonci filled his crown a while back from nothing. He thought it might’ve been PGE2+seti+needling, but I have a suspicion it was the needling and PGE2.
Sorry about that. But are you sure it's from microneedling? And were you cleaning the needles properly b4 each use? Sounds scary. I wonder if alcohol/spirit actually kills off bacteria on the needles or just temporarily puts them to sleep?Quitting dermarolling. Had swollen lymphnodes for over a week, horrible face pain and woke up last night with half of my face tingling. Seeing a doctor tomorrow.
Good luck everyone.
It's either from microneedling or an extreme coincidence. I use a new, sterilised needle every time I've done it. I guess I'll know more tomorrow.Sorry about that.

Most of them have been asking what's happend to your hair in a good way lol. I just reply with oh just rogaine@Jamesdunn what was the reaction of your freinds ? because it's very noticeable
When I'm satisfied I will reduce needling to twice monthly. As for minoxidil I'm happy to apply that before bed for the rest of my life lolGood luck. Your results look amazing.
Do you consider this a long term treatment plan? Or will you eventually stop after a while? I recall numbers guy mentioning that he still maintained after stopping for a while.. it’d be interesting to know how long it would take for it to return back to baseline.
