What's everyone's thoughts on the best frequency to microneedle? I've been doing once weekly but my scalp seems to be completely healed after 1.5-2 days? Would twice a week be better?
24M, significant diffuse thinning and receding hairline - is this salvageable?

Aim to wound every week or every 10 days. Don’t overdo it.
You can also do daily needling at a smaller length. I’ve heard good results with 0.6mm. You don’t need to wound here. But I’ve heard it’s good for topical absorption and I’ve seen good results from it

Okay thanks. Should I also be applying min to my temples? They've not really thinned but I think receded

Anywhere you think is actively losing hair. Diffuse thinners for example apply it all over their scalp

I am giving the Olivia Newton John answer about DR. Listen to your body talk. It seems hard to fine a means of DR that doesn't work. I went up to 2.0mm and it hurts less not more than they lower gauges. Tomorrow, I start with 2.5mm which is probably as high as we should go currently since all of the studies are at 2.5mm or less.

Does disruption mean massage and hair brushing too?

I read the study and it is written in what might be called technical international English which often uses the incorrect "synonyms". Has this product been released to market? Is it merely something like Min to be used with DR. They mention the plucked hair studies but it is not very evident why. Anyway, DR, from 0.25 to 2.5mm, all seems to work and I see little evidence that it can be done too much.
I'm not sure what you mean by done too much?
Are you referring to how many times you can microneedle?
yeah the thing is there isn't many variations of studies done on different levels of micro needling.
But speaking from personal experience when I amped it up to 2.5mm I noticed significant growth speed on hairline.
Again, my personal experience and a few others.

Yes. I have been seeing great hairline growth but I have oral minoxidil and estrogen as treatments as well. I know that DR works because it removes scar tissue like a dream leaving new follicles to be issued by the body.
you're prob going to make a full recovery based on all the stuff youre running anyways.
are you thinking of that bica too?

Bica is a decent med but I prefer provera which I use daily at 10 mg.

14th February pictures. I've not cut it since the first post so that may make results harder to notice. I've personally not noticed any huge changes but the top down view is looking better. I know its still early days to be seeing any results though.

It's a fine line about obsessing over this. You want to verify that your path is correct but many times, regrowth will sneak up on you just like baldness did. It's not necessarily linear in terms of growth. Regardless DR or derma-penning is great for skin and scarring in general and there can be cross-talk among follicles and the bio-feedback system. Regardless of hair, I expect to DR for life for my face, neck, hands, soles of my feet and scalp as it melts away scar tissue, cross-linked tissue, freckles, aging from the sun, etc. It is the beauty discovery, along with tretinoin of the century.
