How can you know? You have nothing to compare it to, because there isnt a alternate version of you who is needling more frequently.

Actually I flew all the way to China and went straight to a famous chinese medicine center and bought a bunch of hairloss cures, using google translate to communicate with them lol, but a few years later and still I haven't gathered enough courage to swallow one pill!
It's all in Chinese. Wait I will post a pic, see if anyone recognizes the product.

Ahhh thanks! You are Chinese? So I guess it's not even for male pattern baldness right?
I'm ethnically Chinese, but not from China.
It is for Androgenetic Alopecia atually. That's how Chinese TCM works. Those plant extracts r frequently used for a wide range of disorders, diseases n ailments.
Its like tossing a huge net into the sea n catching all sorts of sea creatures, even though u only wanted a netful of tuna
N yes scientifically, some of the actives in those plant extracts work for Androgenetic Alopecia.
Polygonum multiflorum = Heshouwu, which ups Sonic hedgehog via THSG https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21419834/
Dang gui = Angelica sinensis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/25004889/

You can use oil right after microneedling. I microneedle 2x/week then put oil right after. You just have to be very careful to not let anything touch the microneedle area except oil for 24hrs. I wear glass and do heavy sweaty work. The area that my glasses touch my head was becoming enflame so when I realized that and don't microneedle that little area anymore.

You are creating open wounds and you think its smart to pour some oil into it?
You should wait an hour for the open wound to close

Aaaaahhh I had forgotten about that episode lol. Not sure why we have always thought if a cure for baldness was ever to be cooked up it will be from China
Though now the trend is to expect it more from Japan.

Growing up I used to constantly hear that Asians in general and Chinese in particular didn't suffer much from baldness until western diet infiltrated their lifestyle. What''s your opinion on this since you have better access to the community.
That's kind of why I try to drink green tea for example as often as possible haha. For a while I started eating tofu and soya products also untill some research linked it to cancers, so now I only eat the fermented kinds like miso etc coz they are safer.

Maybe we should eat an East Asian diet.

It doesn't prove much but I find this interesting, not sure if all scars have this effect. That's my friend's arm. The hairs around the scar are thicker and darker. So I am thinking maybe microneedling would have the same effect.

I compare my head to my balls, I'm needling for six month I was needling every three days, and then every week, finally every two weeks shedding stopped, new hair starts to grow and hair in the area I'm needling grows faster I never experience that before.

recedingyt I'm new here but I was wondering what brand of 15 % minoxidil you used to originally gain your hair line back . Please let me know. Seeing the progress you have made over the years has given me hope that one day I'll get most of my hair line back . I thank you in advance :3
If I have understood you correctly...you have more progress when you have two weeks between needling sessions?
Am I correct?
