A user with stage 3 baldness is seeking advice on microneedling for hairgrowth, including pre and post-care, washing routines, and the use of hairgrowth serums or oils. They also inquire about the effectiveness and safety of microneedling pens.
The user experienced improved hairgrowth using Minoxidil twice daily, finasteride 1.25mg once daily, weekly dermarolling, supplements, and occasional ketoconazole shampoo for 5.5 months, but noticed hair shedding again after switching types of Minoxidil. Despite returning to the original Minoxidil, the user's hair condition worsened and shedding continued.
The user shared their hair loss treatment progress from October 2023 to January 2025, using 1.25 mg finasteride daily, 2.5 mg minoxidil, Hims shampoo, and a multivitamin. They noted improved hairgrowth despite not saving their hairline.
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hairgrowth.
