Great update Bro but the problem is we don't know if your regrowth is because of Dermarolling or Finasteride!!!

Sorry Hariri, I know finasteride confounds my results somewhat, but for what it's worth, I definitly saw fuzz by the end of the first week before taking the finasteride. Also I was on 5mg finasteride which I cut into quarters, for about 6 months where I did not see much results, so I quit taking it about 2 years ago.

This time I am taking the 1mg propecia. If it was purely the propecia responsible for the regrowth, wouldn't it take longer for it to kick in? I'm seeing results in just a few weeks.

PrettyFly; what mm size roller are you using?

Or anyone else that knows?

[LevonHelms]

Thanks for the update PrettyFly!

I see more regrowth there man, all over your dome! Looking good, keep it up bro.

At only 4 weeks on finasteride there is no way he would see any regrowth from it, in fact he is more likely to shed hair at this point than regrow it with fin.

What is prettyfly's regimen?

Yup. Also, Minoxidil without dermarolling usually gives a bad shed in the first 1-3 months and results don't come in until much later, sometimes 6-12 months!

Hey guys,

I jumped on the dermarolling 4 weeks ago, so it'll be my 5th time rolling tomorrow.

I just want to report my results so far.

I use a 1.5mm roller, once a week.
Rogaine foam 2x a day except on day of rolling

Hi, did you just start Minox, or have you been on it for a while?

[Chromeo]

Very impressed with the results. Let's beat this thing, fellas.

[chimera]

What is prettyfly's regimen?

He's just on minox and dermaroller. Well yeah, he's also on vit C, but we all know vit C won't do jack.

Hey all my Balding Brothers and Sister

As promised here are my 3 month update photo's which I'm posting for all to gauge the effectiveness of this treatment.

PrettyFly I thought I would embed a side by side of your pics here so people could see your progress a little better.

Would derm rolling without minox make a difference?

Also I'm not on minox if I start dermrolling now will I get and shedding?

Hard to answer that as most people would rather be exact to the study. If you want to try dermarolling without minox, I would say go for it, if you start getting results then it could be a good way to gauge the effectiveness of minox. It would be nice to stop applying that crap everyday anyway.
The more different techniques used in this study the better I think.
And yeah you will probably notice shedding if you use minox.
