User has been using Minoxidil twice daily for a year with good results and is considering adding a 1.5mm titanium derma roller for better hair regrowth. They seek advice on the best derma roller size and frequency of use, suggesting once a month or every 3-4 weeks.
community Just got a dermastamp, and it is FAR superior to a roller. I’ll never go back.
A user switched from a 1.5 mm derma roller to an adjustable dermastamp for microneedling to treat hair loss and found it less painful and more effective. Some users prefer different depths and tools like the Dr.Pen for microneedling, while others debate the necessity of depth and tool type.
community Update: 16 months deep - big 3
The user has seen positive results after 16 months of using topical Finasteride/Minoxidil, microneedling weekly, and Tretinoin for hair loss. There are no reported side effects, and the user advises that the effectiveness of microneedling depends on the pressure applied.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
