A 32-year-old man has been treating his hair loss with daily oral finasteride (1.25g), twice-daily topical minoxidil, weekly ketoconazole 2% shampoo, and weekly microneedling for almost three months, with no side effects from finasteride. He started with a Hamilton Norwood scale rating of 5 and has seen improvement without experiencing pain by using a 0.8mm needlelength for microneedling.
Microneedling for hair loss is discussed, with users suggesting different frequencies and needlelengths, such as 1.5mm every 3 to 6 weeks or 1.0mm weekly. Some users recommend less frequent sessions to avoid scalp damage and soreness.
The conversation is about the proper frequency and needlelength for microneedling to treat hair loss, with a user asking if they should use a 0.5 mm derma stamp daily and a 1.5 mm stamp once a week.
Users discussed adding microneedling to minoxidil treatment for hair loss. Some saw improvements, especially when combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride, while others did not notice significant changes.
Improvements seen after 5 months of using finasteride, minoxidil and dermaroller for hair loss. The original post was praised by another user for its progress.
