Same lighting (sunlight) different angle I've used it 4 times. Once a week. I find sunlight is the harshest and least flattering. I have the same length of 1.5mm (12 needles)and I believe it's doing more. It feels deeper, which is odd as it's the same length. I got some surgical spirit to clean it and I just pop it in for twenty mins then brush off the dead skin cells with a toothbrush I don't use on my teeth. Couple days after my head itches like a son of a b**ch but feels great after a brush.

Just updating 3 months in for myself and others. Not sure if I've had any change tbh.
Kirkland minoxidil liquid, Dr pen A6 at 1.5 once a week. Nizoral and a couple of cups of green tea which I started drinking and then found out a load of anicdontal stuff about its benefits which may be bs but I like how it tastes and it chills me out. . Again, I basically live in dermmatch. I actually went up to between 1.5 mm and 1.75 mm for one session and i could tell it was deeper and my head was a bit more sensitive so I left it a couple of weeks before I microneedled again. I also had to charge the Dr pen for hours ( like 5 or 6) after that to get it work and noticed my last session felt more effeciant, like it was on a higher setting, without changing the speed setting. I've been using the pen staright out of the box without charging it up prior and I think that was a mistake. anyways. Happy new year, hope everyone is doing ok.

I bought a Dr Pen microneedle off Amazon and have noticed a massive differences to how it feels compared to the derma stamp . I used a derma roller before and a derma stamp at 1.5 length but nothing really changed. I've done the Dr Pen about 4 times now and my scalp is much redder afterwards with maybe one or two spots of blood. It does feel miles better and like it's doing something but this photo looks like sh1te tbh. I can feel more stubby hairs and feel at weak spots whispy hairs, but as you can tell, the photos in the harshest lighting don't really help andni think it makes it look even worse. As per my other posts I basically live in dermmatch and it looks passible. Anyway that's my two cents. I feel it is doing something and I will continue. I'm also on minoxidil and nizoral. I see people posting stuff without photos all the time so decided to share one, even though I look awful without stuff shading my scalp. Cheers

This was three months ago above...
Slight harsher lighting I think too.
And today below.

So, 3 years since I bought it, my dr pen A6 stopped working. Now it bothers me to spend another 100€ in a new one. A dermaroller will do the job?

I'd venture to say that his results are due to topical finasteride and not microneedling. He's either using 2.5 mg or 5 mg of finasteride topically every day.

no, all hairs need DHT to grow. body hair is an example.
scalp hairs have DHT a lot of years before puberty, sebaceous gland need this hormone to make sebum.
Till scientists dont take the idea never we shall advance.....
DHT increases reactive oxygen species like hydrogen peroxide which increases the PH of tge environnement. Prolactin receptor is extremely upregulated (by hundred times) in a high PH

Yes, oxigen sopcies reactives are not good for hair, this mechanism is the same with oxidizied sebum

Follica mechanism isn't based on verteporfin.

You guys have not presented a clear use case for vert.

Did anyone needling experience a temporary shed of thin hair? I started needling again with a pen at 1mm while using OM for a few months and I'm defiantly in a worse spot 2-3 sessions later then when I started.

Update. Been another month or so. After my last post I got topical minoxidil and .5mg of finasteride from hims - so topical combo. It Arrived basically the day after my post. I kind of looked on their website and in the UK -I'm not sure many places do topical finasteride. You can see my previous posts - I use Kirkland minoxidil 5%, dirmapen once a week at 1.5mm and nizoral occasionally. I know it's cheaper to crush pills etc but I thought f**K it and ordered.

The good, - minoxidil dries quicker and is not greasy and it smells good. Application is a doddle and the fact finasterode is topical I felt alright about putting it in etc. Don't want to take oral again.

Been wearing my hat all day and took this. If I parted my hair it's looks pathetic but it looks like it's doing something. Harsher lighting may look bad but this is sunlight.

Only prob is my nipples. They went full on erect. I did finasteride pills for a year 10 years ago and got minor gyno and didn't really do any regrowth. About 3 and a half weeks into this started noticing them, and feeling sensitive. I Contacted hims and they basically said come off it. Which I have, 3 days ago. Nips are nearly back to normal, they could have cut glass. it Started about a week ago. I'm thinking of microdosing possibly. Ive Read a lot about how topical is systemically absorbed and it lowers dht for a while - like a week after one dose etc.. anyways. tbh, I could have been more merticulous with the dropper. I'm pretty sure I applied it like it was regular minoxidil and maybe went over the dose. I've also noticed after I got jiggy my semen was a bit waterey then normal, so yeah.. it Def goes into the system. Having a think. I'm almost thinking once a week. Just to lower the dht a little. I hear it keeps it down on the scalp etc. I know some people will think that's nowhere near.. I dunno. Anyways. Hope everyone is doing good.
