Yes but it is proven minoxidil does NOT go systemic.
And how does topical minoxidil increaseses body hair than?
Yes but it is proven minoxidil does NOT go systemic.
Is anybody using Dr Pen Ultima N2-C? Would be this good for start ? At this point I'm using dermaroller with 590 needles 1.5mm length.
Daily 1mm rolling for 10 mins.Great to hear man!
Will jump on this train too. Btw, how long are your daily rolling sessions and at what depth?
Sorry man, can you repeat your regemin? Thank youGreetings again fellas.
It's been a while. I should have posted an update around 2 or 3 months ago, but life got in the way, as it does. Plus trying to take pictures for updates and comparisons at the same angles and precisely the same light conditions is a total b**ch.
I apologize if the tilt and angles of some of these comparison pictures are a bit off. I'm not trying to alter or skew anything. The pictures are what they are and they come out as they do.
Anyway, if you're interested in re reading or perhaps reading for the first time, my original post from July, go here: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/posts/1817384/
So here goes. There will be 3 different comparison groups. A side by side by side of May 22nd, July 23rd, and today December 18th. A side by side of May 22nd and December 18th. And finally a side by side of July 23rd and December 18th.
The improvement seen in May 22nd to July 23rd is stark, as everyone saw back in July of this year. The improvement from July 23rd to now, is well...you be the judge.

Amazing documentation. Really valuable![...]
Success on the temples too?8 month daily rolling update
So far, I can confidently conclude that daily rolling has had the most impact on my hair growth. This is personal however. Results my differ for other people.
@Liquidbanana solid results so far, although you may just be a very good responder to minoxidil too.
Hey guys, I’m a first time poster but long time reader.
I had a hair transplant 3 years ago, 1500 FUE grafts to my temples. I had thinning hair on my scalp, I used saw palmetto and finesteride to aid which had good success with. Up until 10 months ago with my crown starting to thin.
8 months ago I decided too skip the saw palmetto and go to minoxidil 5% x 2 a day. After reading about people’s success with derma rolling I thought I would add it to my regime, as my crown had not stopped thinning even on the minoxidil.
Currently iv been dermarolling for about 4 - 6 weeks now, I started out with a .5 and now a 1.5. For the last 3 - 4 weeks iv been shedding ridiculous amount of hair from my crown, noticeably in the shower when rubbing my hands through it, there’s healthy hairs and diffused hairs that are shedding, no where else on my head.
When dermarolling I focus on my crown but do the entire scalp, I also apply minoxidil straight afterwards, I have been dermarolling once a week.
Has anyone else had an experience with shedding like this with dermarolling? I’m not sure wether this is a good or a bad thing.
Yes but it is proven minoxidil does NOT go systemic.
Minoxidil wasn’t perused as an anti fibrosing agent. It didn’t display significant collagen degradation in vivo. An agent that could prevent or severely diminish scaring would be bigger than HairLoss, but it didn’t fit the bill. Also if you followed the in vitro studies, the inhibiting effects reversed rapidly after discontinuation. Honestly I wish this myth with Go away.
Well according to Follica density is the difference maker, and there is no tipping point, it works after one session if done correctly.
No i'm talking about minoxidil and skin. It was proposed as an anti fibrosing agent but subsequently dropped because it didnt show a significant effect.Is this true? Can you give a source on that?
Are you talking there about AR inhibition?
The fact that it works after one session if it will work at all is useful info, if we can be confident in it.
So, if microneedling works by creating new follicles exclusively, as opposed to also stimulating existing dormant follicles (does it?), then we can have a time table for when a given mode of needling should show results, if it will, so that we can know that if we first needled on date x and there are no results on x+whatever time, you need to switch up your frequency/depth/density.
In fact, if one session is enough, the prudent thing to do would be to vary your depth/density day to day, so that you cover all your bases.
