Very Impressive Dermarolling And Minxodil Results - From Tressless

[Derelict]

Im currently needling with minoxidil, does anyone know if azeliac acid would be good to add to it? already bought some along with tretinoin.

 

[Derelict]

Azeliac acid is a weak anti androgen no? If you're already doing duta I don't think it's worth the effort.

I have stopped duta and started finasteride instead, also stopped spironolactone and estradiol.

Still nothing beats microneedling and minoxidil

Yeah, im hoping it will provide much needed regrowth on my crown. Hardly anything seems to make it budge, very difficult to treat.

 

[pegasus2]

It's not worth it. Results are so much better with minoxidil. If not minoxidil then bimatoprost or something. Not rosemary oil. This woman had telogen efflivium. Her hair would've grown back even if she didn't do anything

Quote from the guy: "Are you also using min? finasteride only maintained for me, the regrowth kicked in when i added Minoxidil and microneedling"

i wouldn't take finasteride even if i was guarenteed to get a full head of hear.

I tried it myself for a year and a half.Good results after 6 months but i ve lost them all after 12 months.

What can I say, this forum is boring as hell. Nothing exciting going on anymore here. All the new research threads are taken down in flames by a group of hypocrits who only believe in what comes out of the FDA snail approval process. The most exciting post this month was a discussion on macaque hairstyling, just to tell you how bad this place has become. Other than that, It's the same posts over and over with reddit reposts and discussions on CBD regrowth or debating if there will be a cure in this century or millenium.

Well, what do you expect? if the top scientists can't come up with sh*t, what are WE supposed to come up with? Of course it's boring.

Is it better to microneedle a dry or wet scalp? Surely dry is better because it's harder, wet would be softer and inflict less damage?

Nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

I do it wet but I don't no if it matters .

Instead of idiotically copying tressless posts on the same topic over and over, a better exercise for you would be to keep track of what happens to these people in a couple of years when things start to go downhill with minoxidil/microneedling.

 

[pegasus2]

It's interesting that people get amazing regrowth from this in practice, but the trial numbers are not as good as HMI's, and it doesn't last as long. I can't wait to see what HMI does in practice

 

[John Difool]

Some people seem to be more pre-disposed than others on this treatment. Not sure if HMI will have a universal effect but it will be interesting to read their phase II results.

 

[John Difool]

At some point, we need to realize that walking around with a wounded scalp that's in constant healing state can't be that healthy neither. I am not down playing the risk of taking drugs from these (Chinese) labs in comparison, just the fact that it's not much better to think microneedling can be healthier after some time.

I may not look like it, but I pay attention to these tressless posts and invariably stopping the procedure goes back to square one in as long as it took to get there, plus it's seems harder to restart the second time around. So what can we use to determine that good is good enough?

 

[Kagaho]

Scalp healing is part of the process, unless you want to only benefit from minoxidil absorption. My regimen now is one session every 10-14 days.

And its false that stop working after two years, especially for ARIs users.

How can it be false,when its documented in these forums that its effectiveness winds down with time,It happened to me.

We also have users who claim it keeps working for them:

Sure,but there are always exemptions.

 

[Kagaho]

It was confirmed by one of the latest studies. It still worked even when the treatment was interrupted.

Still, i consider microneedling & minoxidil tools in the arsenal. Without antiandrogens, every growth stim strategy is doomed long term (5+ years).

 

[Kagaho]

But the definition of "it works" is so subjective and misleading. And it certainly loses effectiveness for the majority of people, just like any other treatment, this being the reason why we currently have nothing to effectively be safe from baldness with certainty.

Well, i disagree. Ru + dutasteride are insanely potent. Used together, it should stop baldness for decades.

Btw, i started balding at 16 y/o (34 now), pretty agressive genes from both sides and still above baseline. dutasteride saved my remaining hair

prevention is an achievable goal with current treatments
