Hey Mike
There is a reader who Rob helped, who now has his own site. His testimony is also on the front page.
He had success with Dr . And his gains we’re permanent. Alot of people are reporting success with such methods.
He also Incorporated other regimens alongside Dr,but owed much of his success to it.

Gentlemen, there’s a difference between short-term and long-term results and between partial and complete recovery of hair loss. Scalp massage and the dermaroller does provide some degree of hair loss recovery for some men who tried these therapies but no one to my knowledge has proven long-term success. Nor do we know how many men have tried those therapies and experienced no benefit. If anyone has found scientific research on long term effects please let us know. Remember, one swallow doesn’t make a summer as the saying goes.

Hey Mike — I agree that we can’t place too much of an emphasis on one person’s results with any regimen, then apply that regimen to everyone and expect the same degree of success. However, microneedling studies on humans for pattern hair loss have all produced the same directional results: improvement. The concept of wounding-healing via dermarolling hasn’t been around long enough for multi-year studies, but the key takeaways from the studies that are available are that wounding + DHT inhibition, or wounding + minoxidil, or wounding + PRP tends to reap far better results than wounding alone, DHT inhibition alone, or minoxidil alone. This is all encouraging.

In terms of partial versus full recoveries — we’ve yet to see full-blown recoveries from dermarolling alone. But that doesn’t mean we should discourage people from trying dermarolling + topical applications, or to continue microneedling to see how things go. After all, results seem to only improve with time. See the hair regrowth from this man, who’s included microneedling as part of his regimen for years:

Nick — if you want to dermaroll, go for it. But I’d suggest combining your dermarolling regimen with a topical, supplement, or both that will help mimic the effects of the adjunct treatments in the above studies (DHT inhibition, increased blood flow, PRP).
