With a head full of hair, like a phoenix!
This user has experienced positive results from using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for 12 months, followed by 5 months of only topical use, as well as microneedling before application for 4 months. They are now considering a hair transplant in order to further enhance their results.
This conversation is about a user who has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil to treat their hair loss, with the result being an intense shedding period. Other users have offered advice and encouragement for them to keep going with the treatment, suggesting they may see significant regrowth in 6 months time.
Microneedling with 5% minoxidil improves hair growth for hair loss patients. Best protocol: 1.5mm dermaroller weekly for 12 weeks or 0.6mm dermapen every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, skipping topicals for 24 hours.
The user reported hair regrowth using microneedling with a Dr.PenUltima M8 over six months, without additional treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. They followed a schedule of varying needle depths and noted lifestyle changes to reduce stress.
User Topher1999 achieved hair regrowth using Dutasteride 3 times a week and microneedling with Dr. PenUltima A6 every 2 weeks for 9 months. They believe microneedling is the main reason for hairline gains.
