Also, a few more questions...
1. Has anyone else seen results with a 1mm roller?
2. How many people are applying minox directly after rolling?
Thank you!Leave a comment:

Here's also one comparison in different light and in different place and a bit longer hair.
These photos are really showing the constantly improving hair thickness and hairline..!

Dutasteride....
I am on dutasteride and I can tell you that one should probably save it for a last resort. I have had some significant sexual side effects and they aren't fun. I at this point (I'm 61 and switched from Finasteride about 4 months ago as it stopped working) wouldn't recommend it. It is a very powerful anti-androgen and you are chemically castrating yourself in return for a shot at hair preservation..Do your due diligence first....Leave a comment:

Topical Finasteride.
I'm 37. I was around 25 wheniu first used minoxidil. I did not get as good results as you at all. So i really do believe rolling is a big player.
I'm definitely getting results from my current treatment. Weirdly I have temple growth which I didn't get before when I did minox. But this time I'm on a topical fin and min.
Again I'm really happy to see your results.Leave a comment:

I use only minoxidil (Rogaine brand), not using finasteride at all in any form. You could also try Nizoral (Ketoconazol) and Saw Palmetto! Good luck mate!Leave a comment:

I'm using morr f 5. Topical fin and min (all in one). And stemoxydine. I also use nizoral shampoo 2x a week and caffeine shampoo the rest of the week.
I roll once a week with a 1.5.
Good luck!Leave a comment:

Hi Skin and Miiw, would you guys be able to provide details on what topical fin and minox you're using? I ordered a 1.5mm dermaroller yesterday. I'm a diffuse thinner/loserLeave a comment:

Thanks that's good to know. I think I've been going too hard. Last time o did it I had lots of blood. I think I'm going to ease back on the pressure. At the moment I'm pushing it down quite hard.
If you don't mind me asking how old are you and is it the first time you have used minox? I know some guys would say If it's the first time you've done minoxidil then the results could be down to that. However I have only very rarely seen minox work so well for anyone. So I'm pretty sure it's the rolling.Leave a comment:

Thanks and my pleasure, if I can help you guys out with my experiences.
I roll with the pressure of my relaxed hand on the dermaroller, with the 1mm roller I do get some bleeding, but not that much. The 0,3mm gives me some redness, but not bleeding, propably because of the small needle size!

I use 1mm dermaroller once a week and 0,3mm dermaroller every 2 days!

and thanks for the compliment !
I really think that Minoxdil is a big part of the microneedling process and as a combination they work very well! But you could give it a try at least! Try a six month period for example and then you can see if there's any improvement. You can't lose anything and dermarollers are relatively cheap to buy!
How hard are you rolling? Much bleeding?Leave a comment:
