Do you think I can regrow this area on th current regimen?

Hi,
I am a 25 M who has been going through slow diffuse hairloss for over 2.5 years now. I used to have thick hair but damn genetics got me messed up (like most of us)
I have been on the 5% minoxidil regimen for about 2 years which has provided some stability and recently I just incorporated dermarolling 1x a week with 0.5mm roller.

Based on the photo, I just wanted to get your thoughts if my current regimen will help regrow behind the hairline (see attached).

Thanks!
Hope everyone finds a regimen to deal with this bs.

I think its possible you can thicken those existing hairs that have thinned at your hairline because it's not completely bald, just thinning and miniaturization.

I would suggest improving your regimen because you're doing the bare minimum. Usually hair regrowth requires a multi-faceted approach for best results.

Since you're already microneedling, I would recommend you work your way up to 1.5mm needle depth. It's more effective at that depth.

Also, buy Zinc and Biotin supplements. I would also recommend that you get Vitamin D3 (10 000 IU's) taken once a day and get atleast 15 minutes of sun exposure to your hair and body a day.

Then incorporate aerobic exercises. So far everything I mentioned is very simple to do.

Next I would recommend you use a Caffeine based shampoo in place of your current shampoo from now on, such as Alpecin C1 Shampoo. Use this this atleast 5 days a week. There's lots of studies proving how Caffeine applied topically really helps for hair loss.

Thanks @Micky_007. I will add this to my regimen.

Any other tips from anyone?

You also need to use a 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo for the remaining 2 days of the week. This needs to be spaced out so separate these days with 3 to 4 days in between. Do this for the first 4 weeks only. After that you only need to use it once a week to maintain results. It not only helps fight inflammation on your scalp caused which causes hairloss, but it also has Anti-androgenic properties to prevent local DHT build up on your scalp.
Also, Ketoconazole Shampoo is in the "Big 3" of hairloss treatments. So extremely recommended.

You will also need to get a second Alpecin product called "Alpecin Caffeine Liquid". This needs to be applied to your scalp twice a day (morning and evening) and must be left in your hair the whole day.

Derma-rolling only needs to be done once a week at 1.5mm, so if you haven't gotten any results with any results with Minoxidil or if you're experiencing side effects on Minoxidil and you want a natural alternative which has no side effects and unlink Minoxidil, won't make you lose your hair gains when you stop using Minoxidil (Minoxidil makes hair dependant of Minoxidil) then i would recommend you use Essential Oils and Carrier Oils instead of Minoxidil.

With the regimen I recommend for you, the only time you would apply Minoxidil or the hair oils is once a day, at night (before bed) because you will be using the Alpecin Caffeine Liquid in the morning and evening. So you can leave either the Minoxidil or Hair oil mixture in your scalp overnight and wash out in the morning.

If you do decide to use the hair oils instead of Minoxidil, which I recommend, I would suggest you use the following Essential oils mixed together:

100% Pure Rosemary Oil + 100% Pure Peppermint Oil.

Then you will need a Carrier Oil. Mix Extra Virgin (Organic) Coconut Oil with the Essential Oil mixture I recommended above.

Make sure you buy high quality oils. Essential Oils must be 100% Pure and the Carrier Oil must be Virgin/Organic/Extra Virgin. If it's not, you won't get all the nutrients for your hair and will be mostly useless.

Alpecin is Germany's best selling men's Shampoo and the top selling product for assisting in preventing hair loss in Asia, yet it is very cheap. How amazing.
