Using just a Dermaroller. What can i expect?

If my hair loss is not significant, but just thinning at this point, will using a dermaroller help prevent further hairloss?

Nope. Get on finasteride.

You mean while also using minoxidil?

If not, keep in mind that MPB is a gene. You can't just roll little needles on your head and it will stop the hairloss. I'm pretty sure the whole point of a dermaroller is for more minoxidil absorption.

I use the dermaroller and have had some success. I am also treating my hairloss with other meds also so who knows if the dermaroller is actually doing anything. I do remember seeing a thread around here were they posted some promising information on the use of the dermaroller so I would not totally rule it out as being an affective treatment.

Do any of you guys use dermaroller more than 1nce a week?

I use it about 3 or 4 days a week. I usually wash my hair, then while in the shower i use the dermaroller all over the top of my head. After, I shampoo with regenepure dr. After showering I apply minox.

Ive heard that its dangerous to use minox right after dermaroller, to wait atleast 24 hours. Have you experienced any negative effects using minox right after?

Is the dermaroller proven to do anything, or are you guys running some spikes over your head, drawing blood, just in hope?

No. It has nothing to do with absorption. It's all about wound healing. Wound healing triggers an embryonic state in the skin which makes it receptive to receiving instructions from wnt proteins. It is important not to use the roller every day, as this requires the healing cycle to be completed before it is triggered again.
