I started rolling on the 11th of July with a Dr.Roller 1.5mm

Why DrRoller? I just looked it up and here in Italy it costs €50. It looks like any other €5 dermaroller you can find on amazon.

Dr.Roller was usually considered one of the best rollers back when I was looking although it was far too expensive for me. I was actually looking at getting a cheaper derma roller that was out of stock and since they had no stock for 1.5mm they replaced the cheap one with a Dr.Roller so I got a quality roller for $18 AUD. It's far better than the ZGTS Roller I was using previously which didn't puncture too well and required me to use more force except when doing that the head would start to clip out. I've only used 2 brands of rollers personally but as far as rollers go the Dr.Roller is basically perfect in terms of rollers for me, it doesn't even get stuck in my hair. Any roller should theoretically work, just make sure to get a 192 needle roller with real needles as the 540 ones typically use triangular metal discs with don't penetrate as well and have the potential for microtearing. They are only made to cut down on costs so you typically want a quality 1.5-2mm 192 needle roller with real needles.

My itch has completely gone and hair feels and looks a lot better, I’ve carried on doing micro needling + minoxidil and sandalor

Your pics aren't consistent at all. I hope you're not misleading yourself and others. I don't mean this as an attack. I just know that my hair can look wildly different unless I take photos exactly the same way. I can convince myself I'm a nw1 or a nw6 depending on lighting and camera position and I'm not exaggerating at all.

Those two pictures are taken in the exact same location and way, being with wet hair under the heat lamp after a shower with flash on. I think the first one just looks different since I missed framing it and took it far too close as where the second one is further back which I also think messed with the white balance, I cropped the 2nd one to like a 4th of it's size.
You can see the regrowth the best in my first hairloss album which I posted months ago, I also attached a more recent hairline shot

Currently my density is improved but I still have a bald patch on my crown and my hairline is still awful but not quite as bad, I'll probably make my own post on Reddit once I feel my regrowth is significant enough. I've taken lots of pictures and I was doing updates at one stage but I got lazier as my hair got better as the anxiety of hairloss used to drive me.

Looks good if there’s no fibers involved. My hair looks the same but when it’s washed with no Nanogen it’s a different story!

You’re lucky you can use minoxidil.
Looks like you have nearly full recovery well done

I’m adding a 5 minute head massage daily into my routine, head hanging over my bed so the blood flows to my head and dig my fingers in my scalp with a lot of pressure all over my head, so my regime will be -
Micro needle with pen - 2mm every 7-10 days
Scalp massage 5 minutes each day
Sandalor 1% in vanicream twice a day
minoxidil twice a day (apart from when needling)
Dr vickers formula - twice a day
Just over 5 weeks in so far I can see loads of little hairs in my previous bald spots(my hair is really bad) and my hair and scalp feel much healthier and not as tough, my itch which was quite bad has completely gone
While it’s hard to visibly see progress apart from the new hair coming through, Previous to starting micro needling my comb over was getting to a point where it just looked stupid and was literally weeks off a hair system, now when I do my hair I can do it where it looks ok again and the comb over looks far stronger and thicker and if you seen me it wouldnt be obvious a comb over, so this to me is just amazing and strongly think this is working, to what extent I’m not sure yet but in the years being on this forum this is the only thing that has made my hair start ti get better..

I just have to say I really appreciate this thread and I’m jumping on the bandwagon. My derminator came in recently and I used it for the first time a couple of days ago. Felt great and I’m cautiously optimistic for good results. I used a roller for a couple of weeks before that and for me, the derminator is superior in terms of wounding efficacy. Taking my own pics to document progress. Very excited for the months to come.

Cheers mate, I hope so, first time it’s actually got better and everything makes sense, I’ll be happy to let you use my progress pics (if it works) for your website
My shits coming in Friday or saturday and I’m gonna start. I’ll be documenting my progress as well. I have a good set of hair overall still but the front is slowly getting fucked. I expect to see obvious growth there first before anything else as my crown is pretty well intact. So it’ll be pretty obvious if it works around that 9-12 month mark (or even earlier who knows). Not gonna be using anything else. Might add it later but the stories about the infamous minoxidil shed putting me off right now.

Hi guys,
I just created an account to point a detail from Dhurat's 2013 study that you seem to have overlooked.

Other notable findings during the study period were
That's it, let's keep going boys!- Initiation of new hair growth was noticeable by around 6 weeks in Microneedling group and by 10 weeks in Minoxidil group.
- Rapid growth in the existing hair was seen at week 1 in the Microneedling group than Minoxidil group.
