He wouldn’t be to regrow anything close to that in 3 months. Results like that would take a year or so.

Hard to say without same length, angle, lighting but doesn't look that different to me.

First pic 28/07/20 after my first session with a Derminator 2.
2nd pic 01/09/20.
So just over a month in and looks like I'm getting some growth there?
Regimen is:
Derminator 2 @full speed / 1mm every 2 weeks.
Wait a week and then dermaroll 3 times that week (every other day) at 1mm.
minoxidil foam mornings / liquid evenings.
Avoiding minoxidil for 24 hours after needling as tried it about 8 hours after and did not feel good / fluttery heart etc.
After rolling I apply immediately after with no sides.
Also taking Dutasteride daily. This may be slightly skewing the results as I'd been on it for years, then came off for 4 months, had a massive shed, then started again at the same time as rolling / needling.
However dutasteride in the past has thickened my existing hair and maybe marginally grown a small amount of new... So I can't say what is needling and what is dutasteride, but I'd attribute most of the growth there to needling / rolling (but I'm adding the caveat that dutasteride may be partially responsible too).
I'll do pics of this area, the other side of my hairline and bald spot at the crown in a couple of months, this was just me being curious about if I'd seen any growth yet on my worst side of the hairline, pretty confident to say that I have.
*Excuse the scalp, needled yesterday!

Actually after looking at my pics again I think I'm not pulling my hair quite in the same direction and also maybe not as forceful, so some of that hair is actually just from my existing hair line spilling on to the bald area... I've done the shot again and zoomed in on both to show the area better. Cursing myself for not getting a more in focus initial image but hey ho... I'd say the results aren't as impressive as I first thought, but there's definitely a few new hairs there, most exciting is that I can see a lot of hair under the skin that looks like it'll start popping through before long!

That's me in the video and I'm the guy in the photo on the first post in this thread. I've gone back to using a dermaroller instead of the pen. My initial results were with the roller and, although it might seem that an electronic device would speed things up, I find I save time using the roller.
That being said, I've found it hard to maintain discipline. I'm good at applying minoxidil but I can hardly ever be bothered microneedling anymore.
I had pretty good results after 3 or 4 months. The majority of my gains were in the first 4 months, I think.
No problem.
Yeh, still maintaining but I'm going to start dermarolling again. It was stupid not doing it during lockdown, as I had plenty of time.
I updated my progress album last week:

The last pictures that show nearly a full head of hair your results?
Yeh. The pictures are ordered by date but it's pretty much the same as it was about a year ago.
I'm about 4 weeks in now. Little baby hairs growing in my corners, but that may be due to the minoxidil.
I took pics at a number 4 haircut, both wet and dry hair before I started. I'll mimic the conditions at the 4-6 month point. Although I did take all the pics with flash on.. that may have been a mistake looking back.

I find using Dr Pen a whole lot more convenient than the roller, I got lazy using the roller. Do you still advise to use 2.0MM length when needling? Most people here are using 1.5 or 1.0

First time in about 8 years have new hairs on my hairline pop up. There vellus though. I have a microscope camera and little hairs are appearing all over the place. Im daily rolling 0.5mm. I was away for a week with no roller so used my pen at 1.0mm before I left and continued rolling when I got home.

Greetings again.
Here is my original post from last year. If you have questions on my background and protocol, look here:
https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/posts/1817384/
Long story short tho; 9+ months of microneedling and minoxidil was upended by a layoff and a serious funk for me. Stopped both, and basically all gains were lost.
Restarted both on June 25th of this year, so I'm at around 11 weeks. And just like last time, and the time before, the before and after pictures speak for themselves.
On the left is, I believe July 2nd. On the right is today, September 8th. So about 9 weeks in between pictures. Hair is at 3 weeks growth after buzz cut with no guard.
Judge for yourself.
I apologize if the angles aren't perfect.
