He used 8 month minoxidil and 4 month finasteride.

( he told me that in the comments.)

but its still the quick gains from minoxidil that tends to leave after 1-2 years
can you explain what you mean by leaving after 1-2 years?

It's a meme that minoxidil gains are temporary. Sure, for someone not on finasteride that may be true however even then there are plenty of examples of men keeping their minoxidil gains over a long time.

I think I'm going back to 1.5 once a week, felt like I was getting better results. When I was doing 1.5 years ago, I was getting result with minoxidil and I didn't even put it on my head, just my beard.

I'm a diffuse thinner and I feel like I need to use significantly higher doses of minoxidil than recommended for the minoxidil to cover all thinning areas - is this overkill? Will thinning areas not exposed to minoxidil still gain effect if nearby areas get some minoxidil?

Looking back I definitely had better results doing 2mm once a fortnight and daily 0.5mm quick rolling (using a manual derma roller) prior to minoxidil application.
The pens are great for the heavy session but the manual roller is where it's at. Leave it on your dresser, do a few quick rolls on temples and crown straight out the shower, brushing teeth with the other hand.

The cartridge may not be inserted correctly try to reinsert it and see if the problem remains. Also some people had to record a slo-mo video to see that the needles really moved.
BTW what pen did you get?

Remove the needle cartridge and turn the pen on so that it starts moving at a low speed. Then insert the cartridge while it’s moving and the the needles will start to move. Mine gets stuck once in a while and that fixes it for me. I think it has to do with the pen not being charged enough although I keep it plugged into the wall.

I just had an appointment with my GP, who I had not seen in real life for a year. She told me that my hair has spectacularly improved! She said she noticed it immediately when I walked through the door. :) :) :):):)

Rimuovere la cartuccia dell'ago e accendere la penna in modo che inizi a muoversi a bassa velocità. Quindi inserire la cartuccia mentre è in movimento e gli aghi inizieranno a muoversi. Il mio si blocca di tanto in tanto e questo lo risolve per me. Penso che abbia a che fare con la penna non caricata abbastanza anche se la tengo collegata alla presa di corrente.

I use a 1-1.2mm once a week with minoxidil immediately after. I don’t really have much of a technique. I just start at the crown and work my way to the hairline. Sometimes in circular motion and other times just in straight lines. I plan on switching to .05-.07mm every 2 days for absorption instead of once a week 1.2mm.

thanks ... but I noticed that making circular movements does not make holes! perhaps better to prick then remove the dermapen and then continue like this on the head ... that is to do with the dermapen put and remove

do you think the LLLT has been a big help? What kind do you use?

I’m a fan of LLLT and will never cut it from my regimen. It makes your scalp healthier and thickens up your hair. I don’t think it does a lot in terms of regrowth if you use it as a standalone treatment - though I have seen pictures on Reddit of a woman getting regrowth from laser treatment alone.
I am using the Hairmax flex cap, and was using the regular Hairmax helmet before that.

I think that my good results now are for a large part due to dutasteride and microneedling.
In the past I used laser/minoxidil for years and had good results, but could not get past a certain level of improvement. Now that I have added dutasteride and microneedling, the results are much better. It’s probably due to the synergy, and I guess I’m a good dutasteride responder.

nice. literally just jumped on the dutasteride train earlier today. Ordered it, but haven't started it. Been using finasteride the last 4 years.

Might start oral min too if I can find some online.
