Any chance of success on minox and derma-rolling alone?

I am likely not going to be able to take finasteride due to its potential to aggravate my (thankfully mild) epilepsy. Taking that medication was my one sliver of hope of stopping my temple recession and perhaps even seeing some regrowth.

With that said, considering my hair today (photos below), do you think I would see any success with minoxidil and derma-rolling? If so, should I get the foam? What %? What size needles? I’m seeing a dermatologist in a couple of weeks, but considering the last one I saw was no help, I’m not getting my hopes up.

The area I’m most concerned about are the temples, and the light/translucent hairs along the hairline. I’ve always had them, but they appear to be spreading:

Your hairline is still very nice and if you can maintain it you will be ok. If you can use finestaride use it if not use rogaine, and make sure you take supplements like lysine and arginine
