Can someone recommend a good dermapen? Preferably one available on Amazon UK if possible.
I'm currently using a £15 dermaroller with titanium needles. It's okay but i notice the needles bent a little from the rolling motion + pressure.

I have the dr pen ultima a6, think the m8 or something is out now.
I've had this question for a while but I could not find any information on it in these threads.
Does hair that you've grown by needling + minoxidil remain permanent as long as you keep using minoxidil and needling? Or is it bound to go away as your original hair in time in spite of applying minoxidil?

Nobody knows as there are no long term studies. Can just say from personal experience after a few years of needling that not only is my new hairs still alive and improving but hair gains keep coming.
It's extremely slow though.

But you use finasteride and estradiol..
That's true so take that into consideration.
However for several months I've have had normal male level testosterone and high normal to slightly elevated estradiol, of which about a month was completely without finasteride. Had no shed and hair quality still seems to improve.

Can people give me an idea what % of people get results on the front hairline? Or, is it like Minoxidil and success mostly restricted to the crown?

Decent results so far with minoxidil and microneedling. Losing some ground due to stopping dutasteride, but still decent. The damn scalp itch from the pg in 5% minoxidil solution is becoming intolerable. Make a post if you’re having success with the foam version along with microneedling/dermarolling
I've had very good results from my regimen and still have improvements after years of treatment. Don't know about percentages, we'd need some kind of poll for that.

Approaching three years for me in January 2022 of needling, and it's done absolutely nothing. My hair density has decreased noticeably.

Needling only or are you using anything else?

hello guys
I've just finished 30 minute micro needling by dermapen 1 mm needle depth. then a few minutes needling by dermastamp too!!
the question is: why i don't bleed at all? just a little redness!!!
this is some photo's of my scalp to see the result!!!!!
am i doing it wrong?
and i apply minoxidil in the same time! but no pain !! just a little

The goal is not to bleed per se. Optimally you want to see erythema. What speed did you set your dermapen at?
Btw using a dermastamp at the same time won't help in any way. You can use a dermastamp prior to applying a topical solution to enhance absorption though.

…and it depends on the machine you‘re using. You can have mild erythema with a 1.5mm dermaroller while having bloody scalp with the same depth with a derminator. Personally I use the derminator and it has a heavy punch. You can’t even compare dermapen with derminator. And the dermaroller depends on the pressure you put on it.
i dont know exactly about the speed. it has 5 different speeds. i often set it as 2 or 3 level!!!
this is my result: i use minoxidil twice a day.
I'm not sure if i had any improvement!!!
first day:
after 1 month:
after 50 days:
after 2.5 months
i have tried to take picture in the same light but there could be some differences!!! its in the same room the same light and same hair length. i go to a hair dresser and cute my hair every two weeks. then i got a shower and took this pictures.
in all the pictures, my hair length is 1.6 cm
i've added zix and a peptide serum to my daily regime since 2 weeks ago.
the interesting part is i have bout a pen microscope so i could count my hair density!!!
my donor hair is between 180 to 210 hair per cm.
the thinner parts also is between 170 to 200. my hair count is the same almost everywhere. just it's thin in my frontal part and the crown.
i didn't loose density its just thin. if i can thicken my hair, that would be a great success.

Our friend Dr Rachita Dhurat (who did the two big microneedling studies, and is also involved with Follica and MinoxiBoost) has co-edited a chapter on microneedling in the book Techniques in the Evaluation and Management of Hair Diseases.
She says that doing it weekly, at 1.5mm (dermaroller), is the best protocol.
I found the chapter online:
