All you have to do is read Follica's website, any of the studies, or this very threadWhy does microneedling as a monotherapy hardly work, then?

I’ve seen 10% lidocaine online. Celestapro.com is one. Never ordered from them so can’t comment on any of their products. Might be ordering some here in the next week though.Can anyone recommend a numbing cream or spray to help with the pain? I searched inhouse pharmacy and alldaychemist but they didn't have anything. I know everything they sale on Amazon maxes out at 5% lidocaine. I was hoping to find something stronger, but will take suggestions on anything.
Heh, the problem with this minoxidil + needling approach and getting results is always the question of "For how long?"
Like throwing a shot of gasoline on a dying fire, it'll keep it burning for a while longer, but ultimately, it's over without AA's.
Just go to your local chemist. In my country at least it's not prescription.Can anyone recommend a numbing cream or spray to help with the pain?

For minoxidil bloat:is it possible to prevent "minoxidil bloat" or dark circles come from it?
I followed this thread from the very beginning.Out of dozens of members on here, how many had decent results and for how long?Not too many.Heh, the problem with this minoxidil + needling approach and getting results is always the question of "For how long?"

I'm using minoxidil for 6+ years ALONE and still workingHeh, the problem with this minoxidil + needling approach and getting results is always the question of "For how long?"

omg that is hot
- Finasteride 0.5mg daily
the original post - page 1. user added needling after having been on min for 2 plus years. i just added needling about 5 weeks ago having been on min for 5 years. here's to hoping it improves my results.Is there a good summary of people who already were in treatment for months/years, and then suddenly improved after adding microneedling?
The problem is the new "Big 3" is Min/finasteride/Needling, almost all new cases is people starting everything alltogether so the efficacy of needling is hard to estimate. We already had impressive 3 month transformations with min/finasteride before needling was even a thing.
I never saw the kind of results we see now before needling became a thing. There were a few good results here and there, but nothing like this: https://baldingblog.com/90-day-reversal-photo/Is there a good summary of people who already were in treatment for months/years, and then suddenly improved after adding microneedling?

gl brother! dont forget to update us, you are the most interesting case to trackthe original post - page 1. user added needling after having been on min for 2 plus years. i just added needling about 5 weeks ago having been on min for 5 years. here's to hoping it improves my results.

I'm seeing more and more excellent results lately too. I don't know if it's that more people are microneedling, or that more people are doing it correctly(follica method), but the number of good results in the last year is astounding
Yes, but the point isn't that the number of wild results has increased, it's that they didn't happen before. None of the results that I saw from finasteride and minoxidil made me think treatment could get me where I wanted to be. Then microneedling came along and that changed. We started seeing people reverse a full nw6. There are many studies that confirm minoxidil plus microneedling is vastly superior to minoxidil alone.View attachment 180632
Microneedling+minoxidil + stronger hair loss treatments are becoming mainstream (and increasing) so the sample size only keeps growing, so it's normal to see more impressive cases more often. Of course microneedling is useful just hard to measure when literally everyone starts microneedling right away now.
This is an exemption rather than the rule(nw6 reversal) i would think.And for how long did they keep their gains?Yes, but the point isn't that the number of wild results has increased, it's that they didn't happen before.
