I ordered the Derminator 2 and it’s taking forever to receive (no fault of the sender, shipping is just generally slow for the time being)

Until I receive it, what other microneedle / dermaroller product is readily available that works well, a bonus would be if it’s sold on Amazon

Edit: Never mind. Had to go to US Amazon and ordered the Dermapen M8 with the 22 cartridges package.

Did you receive your Derminator 2? If so please compare that with the M8.

I’m using one, the wife took the other one. I’ll use both and provide an update. Right off the bat I like the convenience of the M8. I use a cartridge once and toss it out. Can order it anytime and receive it relatively quick now that Amazon os back on track. With the D2 it takes a few months to receive anything.

hello, has someone who is DUPA like me been able to get results with this method?

finasteride does not work for me and I would like an example of a DUPA success story

M8 compared to Derm 2

I’m surprised at the speed and “puncture-power” (for lack of better term) of the D2 compared with the M8 I’ve been using. It may very well be just in my head but the puncturing speed is another level and for some reason it feels like it punctures at a higher velocity and more efficiently through the skin. Now I’m compelled to use it again next week and compare again. If I keep feeling this way about the D2 I just might wind up buying another one.

Is there any reason to microneedle while taking only Oral minoxidil and finasteride? From what I have read microneedling is only for the absorption of liquid minoxidil on the scalp right?

hello, what is the recommended number of needles? I'm going to test it and it has become clear to me to test with 1.5 mm, but there are some that have 300 needles and others 100.

I don't see any progress but the length and the horse tail style cut that hides one side of the temples.

Clear improvement as evidenced by the thickening of individual hairs and darkening of the hair overall. However it's impossible to say if the benefit is due more to finasteride or dermarolling.

It’s also the synergy that is important : minoxidil, microneedling, anti-androgen. This will give you the best results. Microneedling is an important factor in it I believe.

Once a week for life, and blood isn't needed or preferred; this is from two years back with the bloody face. People thought that it might have been necessary to draw blood for best results and that might be true but it's messy and unhygienic when done to this extent but it didn't particularly hurt even with the blood.

No pain; no gain. This is or can be a lot of work when trying to first halt the inertia of hair loss and then turn regrowth back on.

From all what I've seen, minoxidil/needling combo is by far the biggest factor when it comes to regrowth. Fina and even duta don't do much for most in that regard besides maintenance and thickening of hair.

Is there consensus about how permanent those results are if one would continue that protocol indefinately? I have read that there can be a boost in hair, but around the 2 year mark the results regress. Sometimes back to baseline. Is wounding + minoxidil a solution for the longer term?
