Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless

[irishlad8787]

Yeah man thats where i go too but where do i go from there

There is very good improvement for just 2 months.

The bald areas will take the longest to improve. You will most likely see improvement in the same pattern as you saw the loss.

This is probably the most true sentence I've seen on this.....I'm watching my hair go in the exact reverse of how it thinned.....the crown was the beginning or the first area to thin and it spread forward in a strange tear shape across my scalp, but in an uneven fashion....the parts that started thinning most recently have come back the quickest.....its like rewinding time in slow motion.

Those are the instructions for the original Derminator. Derminator2 cartridges are made differently and if you read the appropriate user manual you'll see that Chloramine-T is the recommended disinfectant (which is why they sell it lol):

from what seen i see in loss you get crowners who lose that first then hair line then mid then hairliners who lose hair line mid then crown so every one who does regrowth will start regaining hair line as that was the last part they lost apart from diffusers who get it all coming at same time thats how im hoping this works dont know just guessing

@Longway886 Are you on min aswell? Is anyone trying microneedling out without min?

I'm currently needling without min, nothing else

Just did my 10th session. Changed the frequency to every 10 days just to be safe, because I still have some flaking by day 7.

owndoc recommends monthly stamping/rolling for the skin so i don't think you are losing much switching to 10 days from 7.

I know this from experience of trying this three times .
By now I've learned the pattern of regrowth and know it by heart.

Temples responding already in just 25 days.
Hairline will be next and the slowest will be the crown.

This is also why I'm applying minoxidil on my worst hit area immediately after dermarolling. It's small and therefore requires little minoxidil and so far no side effects. I'm hoping this speeds up the process in those oldest areas.

I still need a answer guys.

Do you use medium pressure, light pressure or high pressure when you move you pen around the scalp and how many times do you go over one spot?

medium pressure. Also, go over until you have uniform erythema on scalp (redness)

I press fairly high making sure the needles go through full length also keep it over each spot for a second or two

I've been doing this since the start of thread .Bizarrely read another article regarding derma pens and ended up purchasing the same derma pen as the op before I stumbled across this thread right at the start! ( it was a sign ) Anyway! so 2 months in not to much to report on 8/9 sessions at 1.75mm recently gone to 2mm. Using lipogaine min and rosemary oil. One of the reasons I jumped on this is because I had PRP done and my shedding stopped for a solid a week after. I thought maybe it was due the trauma from the injections and after reading up about it came across derma rollers/ derma pens etc. Also been on Min for 10 years! I think my forelock has improved since derma but crown still has a way to go. Lighting is a little dodgey also red as day after dermapen but will keep you updated. Thanks to the OP for all his input and sharing this with us

You've got some great results for ~2 months in! Everything is looking fuller which should give you (and all of us) some hope for the balding crowns!

Was thinking of giving this a try. I just started noticing some thinning in the mid section(already was thinning in the hairline). Would this cause more thinning if I already have a decent amount of hair still left due to the needles breaking existing hair? And would it still be effective if not using min?

 

[hairloss_user]

Afaik I don't think anyone has shedded from doing this

The needles don't cut your hair. I've had zero shedding.

Thanks. Might take the plunge. Is using min a requirement? I really don't want to mess with that stuff

Restarted Minoxidil today after a ~1.5 years halt, I’m super excited because derminator alone gave me some small results (not aesthetic improvement whatsoever, but it’s slowly working) without minoxidil, so for sure this will give a boost.
