Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless

[spring15]

I needle once a week, draw small amounts of blood. After about 4 days I can comb off about a cigarette size worth of dead skin. Hopefully this doesn't hinder the minoxidil absorption a lot. Those people needling daily, I assume they wouldn't be drawing blood? Would the scalp have enough time to recover from the constant trauma?

 

[rcom440]

No, I needled a week ago and I started minoxidil today, so I thought it would be quite safe

decrease dosage to 0.5ml once a day and see if you still get sides.

Would the scalp have enough time to recover from the constant trauma?

no, people who microneedle with 1 - 1.5mm everyday may get regrow due to height minoxidil absorption which will stabilize but on a long run they will ruin their skin.

You can microneedle every day for around a week and then once every week or once every two weeks. You do need time for skin to heal.

Sounds good. Will try this way and increase it progressively in case I have no sides. Thanks!

Fair enough. But how do you explain this

Androgen hyper sensitivity.

What are everyone's thoughts on needling 0.5mm 6 days a week for absorption
and 1.5mm deeper roll 1 day a week?

Has anyone had noticeable improvement when going from minoxidil 1x day to applying 2x a day?

I have needling for 1.5 years with 1mm needles ,but I am loosing hairs .things even got worse after needling. My suggestion is needling once a month rigorous too the point of bleeding and using strong minoxidil at night would do something to people .I can't use min strong due to heart problems.

Needling is useless without minoxidil in my opinion

Agreed, still haven't seen anyone produce cosmetic results with needling alone.

 

[Mandar kumthekar]

Needling is beneficial for minoxidil penetrattion.minoxidil down regulate collagen synthesis and reverse fibrosis caused by DHT.

People dont give minoxidil enough credit here IMO, its the most powerful hair growing stimulant we know of today.

Its just that aggressive Androgenetic Alopecia causes so many problems from different angles minoxidil cant handle it alone you need to target every pathway possible with this crap disease (minoxidil needling red light massage dutasteride WAY antioxidants etc)

What about needling and ZIX?

 

[Pephair]

Honestly the more I see these results, the more I believe a large part of success is just from increased absorption and rolling more frequently. It's just too difficult with our cheap dermapens to match the requirements for success.

Sure there are some that might get it right, but for the majority, twice a month ain't gonna cut it.

Hello, i was balding since 2017 in a very aggressive diffuse pattern. I am 21 years old

Tried minoxidil during 2 weeks but stopped because of horrible sides (cardiovascular and low bp). Tried finasteride after that, failed too because of sexual sides effects.

Chose to try Zix as a replacement of Finasteride and dermastamp as a replacement of Minoxidil. Shedding is almost zero today. Regrew lot of hair

I began zix and needling in November 2017. I apply Zix 2 times a day on average. I dermaroller weekly with 2mm and almost daily with 1mm

November 2017: 1cm

Sorry for the bad quality but it's all I have.

oh my GOOOD
that much regrowth just from micro-needling and Zix ? without any sort of anti androgens? without minoxidil?
it's unbelievable

There has, @Ezekiel2019 :

I’m not saying that he hasn’t had regrowth, but I think hair length is really important when taking progress pics.

for example -

First pic is my hair when I cut it short -


And second is how it looks when I grow it out -



And I’m not on any treatment right now and am not making progress...

 

[kungfukenny]

I don't see a problem here, even with your short hair it still looks good and every none balding man with short hair like that in that lightning environment has that.

Hell your hair is perfect, what are you still doing here?

what I meant was, judging progress with different length hair is a bad idea as it can be misleading.

And thanks, but my hair is definitely not perfect, I’m planning on starting needling + min soon, hope I’ll get some results!

 

[kungfukenny]

Btw, Ezekiel stated his length hair with every picture. Imo looks legit

And can't you just maintain with fina alone? Nothing wrong with your hair that I can see.

fair enough. I’m sure he has gained, was just pointing out it’s difficult to tell with different length hair.
fina is what caused my hair to get like this in the first place, I had a bad reaction to it, been thinning ever since, so not sure what I should try next really.

Long time stalker. First time poster. I've been using minoxodil for about 6 years now. Silly me had a short brush with Trinnov which made me discontinue minoxidil for a couple of months. Suffice to say...I've lost pretty much all my hair. In order to get back as much as possible I jumped back on minoxidil and added microneedling once a week 1.5mm into the mix. Here's the results. The difference is about 6 months.

Another one with great results thanks to minoxidil + needling combo:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/j5aim5/nw5_3_month_results_on_dermaroller_minoxidil/

he has got this result without finasteride imagine what it would be if he had used finasteride or duta
