So I decided to try dermarolling back in august, around the same time I started minox (actually nanox). Below is my regimen and results, which I think aren't bad!

Looking good!!!

Good improvement guys, keep it up!

Little bit help guys

What are you guys doing when finished rolling, are you disinfecting the scalp in any way?
Are you washing the scalp with water?
Do you wipe the scalp with something special or just a towel/wet towel?
In what directions do you move your roller?
How many times do you run over each area?
How much time it usually takes?

Thanks

I feel minoxidil is giving me tinnitus; is this a known side effect?

Should I taper off? I want my hair, but not at the risk of my hearing.

Does it stop once you get off Minox? I've had tinnitus for the past couple years as well, but Tinnitus didn't start until about 6 months after starting Minox.

I can't be sure, hell. It's only started after being on Minox now for 7weeks, every day 5%.

I feel I should taper off over four weeks or so rather than stop altogether, though.

I've never heard of this as a reaction to minox. I have been on it over 6 years and have never had that problem. Not saying it isn't possible though.

Only side I noticed from minox is foreheads wrinkles over the years where prior there was none, eye bags, forming of crows feet, and eye puffiness.

Hate the sides but it's a price I'm willing to pay if I maintain which is what I think minox is doing for me at this point..

I'm not suggesting that my tinnitus is due minoxidil. I have listened to excessively loud music for very long periods of time when I was younger (lots electronic music, DJing, etc)

But its amazing how some of us value our hair more than our skin.... I do too to be honest.

I'm about to buy a dermaroller. However I have some questions.

I see one named "MT Dermaroller" 1.5mm, is that ok?

Should I start with minox also or see the dermarolling result first before using?

What Should I use to sterilize the roller? Simply alcohol ok? and my scalp also

Thanks

Man if I had good skin and decent head shape I don't think I'd care nearly as much about losing my hair...or I would have atleast attempted the shaved head already

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

what can we assume guys is the lowest safe dose for dermarolling to work but to avoid aging face from minox?

Agreed. Guess some of us are doubly unlucky.
I will say though since starting retin a micro cream after the bad effects minox had on my skin, I don't think my face has ever looked so good in my 20s.
May start back on the minox if the cream still protects my skin.
