Is microneedling working for majority? I just thought it would benefit everyone honestly, I have to say I am seeing hairs darker and thicker sprouting sticking out, some have grown pretty quickly, and my hair feels a lot more healthier the ones that have sprouted seem to be a lot more thicker, I'm early in on my treatments though I'm on topical finasteride 0.1% (1 mg) nizoral 2% minoxidil 5%, supplements, of course I'm still using a dermaroller but I'm seeing sprouts where I have dermarolled that weren't there before. Another difference I'm seeing is it's getting much harder to see through my hair, which I'm sure is a good thing. I started noticeably balding when I was 16, 15 I think I did have a recession but not bad still thick hair, been off and on treatments since mainly minoxidil did oral finasteride 2mths no sides but couldn't get anymore from where I was getting from they didn't accept gift cards no more. But have added in and I am being consistent and patient. I'm 20 now about to be 21, the fact it's been 4-5 years might take a while for me to get some good results, but since I am seeing results period I'm sticking with it, I might add in topical dutasteride if finasteride just stops working for me. No side effects either surprisingly for topical use.

Where I left out, I was asking about the difference between:
1) bi-monthly with a deeper needle around 1,5mm to 2,0mm as seen on research, at least the studies i've seen are around those lines
vs
2) going in more often, as often as daily, with less penetration as user @Somebody does
So what do we have here? 1) Is triggering growth factors and 2) is just making the minoxidil more effective? @Somebody is on finasteride and minoxidil.
Then I saw some scam accusations since OP is using affiliate links.
Honestly im not sure about this. My scalp itches, I assume it's inflammed, I assume dermapening/rolling raises inflammation, therefore im not sure if this is a good idea at all while you have an itchy scalp. With a sane scalp I would go for it, but my head doesn't feel perfect so im scared to have agressive treatments on my scalp. I may try once a month and see what happens. Im also looking forward to dutasteride injections as my last resort. I believe it's nothing but deluded to stop this disease without potent anti androgens. I can already see the horseshoe pattern forming for me, it's definitely male pattern baldness probably speeded up by my shitty health like hypothyroid and low vitamin D, mostly because of the depressive state of hairloss itself. At least as an hypothyroid im not a fatass tho im pretty thin. I just need to stop this f*****g disease from going on any further.

My concern with topicals is that long term usage may thin up the sky. Consider that all these alcoholic vehicles which the scalp is exposed at on a daily basis for decades... can we really deal with this for 20+ years?

So how often do you dermapen? which nail lenght? And doesn't applying minoxidil on top of wounds burns like a mofo?
Also, isn't there a vein on that temple area? that makes me paranoid to do the temple points. I definitely want Zayn's hair tho.

If Shisheido delivers, technically it's like a vaccine against baldness. No concern other than doing it every few years.
There's that, but gotta materialize first.

Ok guys WTF is everyone here a f*****g stone golem or do I have the softest skin in the universe of the planet?
Just did my first session, I decided to take it easy and did 1.0 mm at medium speed. Super easy, prickling actually felt kind of good since my scalp itches 24/7 and it was like scratching.
Went over whole scalp twice, wanted to call it quits but decided to try, very conservatively, the fast speed setting with 0.75mm (!!!)
It was quite painful and this is the result. Like wtf, 0.75 guys :/.

I see thin regrowth of hair around the hairline but nothing cosmetically significant to report. When I take pictures a month from now I'll try to replicate the lighting on these pictures and do better! Thanks for the response!

The
Needling may be reducing the mechanical stress on the follicles as it is breaking up the fibrosis.
The same way that needling can break up the fibrotic tissue in dupytrens disease of the hand.
In this disease, the tendons are replaced by a different form of collagen, more like keratin. The stress pulls the fingers inward toward the palm.
Surgery is commonly used as a way to release the fingers but needling has been recently used as a less invasive option
This study relates mechanical stress on the scalp to fibrosis and resulting miniaturisation
