Hell Hairliciously I just started using microneeding and minoxidil at the beginning of January. But I’m still aiming for that 6 months treatment. But was also debating if I should take finasteride or DHT blocker. Please what is your advice.
I’m 20 n I’m thinning it’s sad no girl wants me I got moles on my scalp n I wanna get a hair transplant so I can cover em n so my joe jus looks thicker I hate it
A lot of people don't tend to bring this up often but you have to sleep early. You'll be surprised how much hairfall happens when you are sleep deprived.
You know, this probably explains a lot. Started a job late last year and went from sleeping 8+ hours a day to sleeping 4-6 hours except on weekends. Within a month or two I noticed a serious hair problem that has me frantically weighing my options. Sad thing is I could easily go to sleep at 8 in the evening instead of midnight if I chose to... No problems falling asleep at all for me. Just always was a late night person before and the job starts at 7am. Gonna have to force myself to stop this before I end up bald (earlier than necessary anyway).
I've been on oral minoxidil, finasteride, and biotin for about 15 months. My hair was thin as hell, my hair line was gone. But it has brought me back from the dead. I'm going to start rolling my corners to help em out .
I've been microneedling with the Dr.Pen for almost about 6 months now to say the least I am starting to see improvements. My right temple area is looking great like I am almost back to a NW1 but my left temple area I am seeing signs of regrowth but at the same time I am shedding like crazy too.
@@Peter109ful Yeah I been on fin for almost 14 months and been using minoxidil and a new shampoo from DS laboratories 5x week.The new hairs I am seeing are dark and look strong too.
@@devilsrejecthbb1 Yes, but so your comment is misleading. People think you went trough a shedding phase and got some regrowth, just because you were microneedling. In fact you probably would have gotten the same results without microneedling, just from fin and minoxidil.
One recent study showed you can use a very small amount or topical Finasteride with only 30% DHT reduction and almost the same effectiveness of 1mg oral. So that’s a big difference in DHT suppression, so I wouldn’t be surprised if topical did have a noticeable result in fewer side effects. But that said, it’s being picky at this point because even with oral side effects are only with few percent of people.
@@ButtersLStotch "Since finasteride is only marketed as an oral medication, it is not possible to purchase it directly from a pharmacy. Your two options are to a) either create it yourself, by crushing finasteride pills and mixing them with minoxidil (or some other vehicle), or b) present a doctor’s prescription for topical finasteride to a so-called compounding pharmacy. These are pharmacies with the ability to make custom preparations on demand, in this instance topical finasteride."
I just used the Dr Pen A6 as you suggested for the first time today, It’s an incredible device. Thing is, I used to use a 0.5 mm and a 1mm dermaroller. I have to say that the dermarollers are far more painful. This is the main advantage of the Dr Pen. The second advantage is that the electronic pen doesn’t rip my hair out as the dermaroller does. The last is that I can get far more needling into the scalp with the electric one.
The doctor on hairloss show said it's perfectly fine to use minoxidol after microneedling. The minoxidol dosage is relatively low to cause side effects
@@hairliciously you’re right. I actually do have side effects. Using more than 0.5 mL per application leaves my heart beating fast with minor palpitations
You won't know any future possible side effects that will come with continuous use just by doing a trial dose and waiting for 24 hours. The side effects are terrifying and in some cases, permanent. Why would you take the risk? I believe we're close to a breakthrough in hairloss treatment that doesn't involve side effects. Im waiting it out.
I've been doing microneedling for about 5 months. No major regrowth (granted, I'm not using minox) but I hardly lose any hair now which I'm happy with.
I'll level with you, finasteride honestly REALLY messed me up! I had complete ED after 1 month of use, semen turned to basically water, had libido issues and sleep problems from it. Was happy to get off it...after a couple months things went back to normal for me. I'll admit that I wish it worked and it helped with hair growth...but the side-effects werent worth it for me, sadly.
@@quinten5993 perhaps saw palmetto then? Or should he just stop forever? I think guys should go natural first then move on to the drugs. If you’re experiencing crazy side effects with natural stuff like saw palmetto then that should at least give you some idea what’s gonna happen with strong stuff like finn
For those with only doing the microneedling and afraid of the side effects of minoxidil and finasteride use the shampoo conditioner called Nioxin . Helped me tremendously. My cousin uses it. Level 2 for hair thinning
great channel and great content Bro. I started dermarolling with a Dr. Pen A7 last week. last week only did .5mm to get the hang of it. it hurts like hell - not a "mild irritation". this week I bought some numbing cream and then used the pen at 1.5mm. the difference was like night and day - both in terms of how much the numbing cream helped and going to a depth of 1.5mm vs .5mm. I thought since I am African American that my scalp just wouldn't show the redness everyone talks about. NOPE - I just didn't go deep enough during that first session. my scalp definitely had a little pinpoint bleeding and redness and it feels tingly now after the session. not using any medicated topicals but did apply a vitamin fortified castor oil. will come back to your videos from time to time with updates. I appreciate you and your channel!
@@MrArtVein microneedling is a good addition to your battle against baldness. I think it helps. I've changed my routine up a bit since I made this comment a year ago - but microneedling once a week remains part of my routine. It doesn't hurt nearly as much either. I can go up to 1mm with no numbing cream. I've heaven't needled at 1.5mm in a while. I may go back to that depth once every two or three months. I've been doing .6mm - 1mm once a week for the past several months.
Iv been using a stamp for nearly two years now. Not seeing improvement at all, except after using the stamp my hairline feels stronger for a day or two, but no new growth. It might be age that's a problem, I just turned 40 and most successful stories seem to be people in there 20-30's
@CJ P. The package was about $4500, which included hotel and transportation. Also you can bring a person along and they cover their hotel cost. I did a ton of research and very happy with the overall experience.
11:15 exact same thing happening to me right now. my eyebrow is connecting to the sides of my temple and it's bothering me but I'll put up with it if it means keeping my hairline
I can't wait to try my Dr Pen A6 and why do you only microneedle your hairline as I do the entire top of my head. I just don't that much on the sides and the diner area as it's harder to reach
There's missing nuance and context when it comes to oral finasteride. Don't take the cookie cutter approach like everyone, each individual requires more or less depending on side effects. If you're prone to sides, take less every two weeks or even 3 weeks. You don't need to hammer 5 mgs a week. 1mg every 2-3 weeks should be enough to knock down the dht conversion. When it builds up in your system you can back down or continue if you have no issues.
Hi, I had a 3,000 FUE transplant completed on November 16th. I am already seeing small thin hairs growing. Can you tell me when I can safely start using a derma roller on the recipient area? Thanks.
I just micro needled myself today and let’s see! I’ve been on finesteride and minoxidil for couple years to fight the thinning hair. I wonder if the micro needling frequency matters? ( daily, 3x week , 2x week etc)
Hello. Would you recommend getting the Dr M8 Pen? I haven't found a video of you using it yet, so I am not sure if this type of microneedle pen would also work for hair growth?! Thank you.
Ur videos are very informative. How come u haven't made videos on procapil, capixyl, baicapil, anagain, anegeline etc. Coz there are soo many serums with different combinations and at this point i have tried all of them but i cant seem to get a definitive product.
Hey, saw your comment and wanted to tell you the Curlsmith Hair Density serum and elixir work great, and they have the above ingredients combined. You can find them online or at Ulta. I had fantastic results, and they’re not just for people with curly hair just fyi.
@@larazeli1306 I understand. Just wanted to let you know the Curlsmith line works since you said you can’t get a definitive product. I did my research on all of the ingredients before I bought those serums. The research is definitely there. I’m with you though, I’m not sure why this channel doesn’t cover them.
I recently started applying rosemary, lavender, mint and avocado oil to my scalp and have peach fuzz growing in on my hairline temple area and crown. Any suggestions to get it to grow thicker and longer. I did use minoxidil for 7 months but I've had better results with the oil tbh, had no side effects with the minoxidil.
@meow purr I stopped using minoxidil, now I just use the essential oils I use a carrier oil olive oil and added about 10 drops of each oil into one container and use in the morning and evening.
Damn.. I'm happy for these guys but hate that I'm not getting results anywhere near this. I've had a pretty bad receding hair line for years.. I mean it started back in my teens and got worse in my 20s. I'm currently in my mid 40s. The "M" is pretty bad I think especially with my egg shaped head. For a long time I just said "F it" and shaved my head. Then about a year ago I decided to try and grow it out. I'm almost 13 months from cutting/shaving my hair. I figured, if I'm going to try and grow hair out, I should try to take care of the recede if possible. May 20th I started oral fin and oral min. I also got a dr. pen and microneedle. I have had SOME results.. I mean its easy to see since my "normal" hair is fairly long now and my "fin/min hair" is shorter. But my results look NOTHING like these guys. :( Some guys I know said since my hair is longer now it may take a while for the hair line to look better/stronger. We'll see. I mean.. seeing SOME results means its working to a degree, I was just hoping for better.
I have been using an essential oil mixture since the beginning of December and then before Christmas I started adding minoxidil and finesteride… with a 1.5mm dermaroller. I’m bald on the top and crown, I have very little hair on top so I have an smp. I can see light peach fuzz hairs coming through in all the bald areas… how long will it take to get them hairs into thicker black normal hair?
I'm currently on 1/4 5mg proscar (proscar has same the content as finasteride, usually comes in 5mg and is prescribed to treat prostate issues and of course cheaper) and topical minoxidil daily for about 5-6 years. No side effects, thankfully. As for results, not much growth but it definitely did stop further hair loss. Question: do you think it would suffice if I replace daily prosca with microneedling to my daily minoxidil regimen? (planning to start a family soon. afraid proscar might affect semen quality)
I have been on minoxidil and finasterise for two years and had great results. I add micro needling (1.5mm)to my routine 4 weeks ago and my hair got a lot thinner and there is a major shedding. Is this normal? Does micro needling causes shedding? Or am i doing something wrong.
I have been on minoxidil for 2 years i think my scalp is used to it. I think micro needling caused shocked loss maybe my hair is just too sensitive to it anyway i lost a lot of hair and my hair line has receded so i shaved it and stopped micro needling will see if i ever recover from this or not.
@@khaaa4lid dermarolling can actually double your minoxidil absorption, that may cause shedding, since it's a normal minoxidil response, and your hair would come back stronger. Dermarolling with Dr Pen once a week with 1.5mm is actually very safe, but i don't know, you could set it down to 1.0mm.
how to clean the device Dr.Pen needles? We cant get the Isopropyl alcohol 70% in Finland, sounds absurd, but what other options we have to clean the needles?
What can I use for numbing if I microneedling my head? It will be most the frontal and side of each of my head that the ha I still have some hair and I am a woman so I do not want to shave my hair off. I am going to be using the Dr Pen #6
the statement that says that you cant use minox after dermarolling straight away because they are scared of minox going in there system, Its NOT an accurate statement because minoxidil also comes in pills so yeah .
I just started about a month of daily finna and Monoxidil twice daily along with once a week needling is it necessary for a special shampoo? Like with ketoconzole?
Can you do a video how to dose a hair solution cocktail correctly? For instance I use RU after shower, then before bed minoxidil, microneedle 1x per week 1mg finasteride 3x per week. I want to make a solution with .1 retinol, 5% minoxidil, .03 bimatoprost. Do you think azealic acid and nizoral have any place in this cocktail?
So Derek from MPMD referenced a study that showed topical finasteride is 80% effective on scalp DHT and 26% systemic compared to 60-70% oral. Wouldn’t that normally mean less side effects for topical?
Well less systemic will generally lead to less sides. Oral def has more sides as it gets metabolized by the liver, I’ll prob take a look at the new study and do a video on it sometime!
Should I do microneedling all over my head bc my hair got thinner all over bc I have telogen effluvium and is it ok to do it once in two weeks instead once every week with 1.5 dr pen
So looking at the last example (time stamp 18:30), my current state is about the same as his month 4 state. Can I come back without prescription meds with microneeding, supplements and topical saw palmetto or caffeine (coffee or tea solution)? Or is minol and finiseride necessary for most?
Love your content - I have tried derma rolling multiple times but each time my thinning seems to get worse! I have a Dr Pen but not exactly sure how to use it - do you have a demonstration video I can watch? TIA 🤗
Bro may I ask you if you can do a video on Dr junji Fukuda please . he said he wants to start human trials for hair cloning sometime next year. If you can please.
How y’all be bleeding after micro needling??? Your pushing too hard if your bleeding. I been doing this for 3 years with a 1.5mm and I never bleed. I’ve also regrown my whole hairline with finasteride too.
Hi. I'm 55 yo, on Minoxidil 5% just BEFORE microneedling (light pressure 1.0 mm every day, to let it absorb better) and heavier pressure 1xweekly, in that case minoxidil applied some 6 hours later. moderately good results. any thoughts on *inversion* *therapy* ? also, I think I could purchase a LLLT helmet...
Hey bro I’m 18 and I also think I have retrograde alopecia but my dermatologist appointment is in April, can I send some pictures to you and get your opinion?
Did you ever find anything that helped with your thin sides (retrograde)? I have very similar hair to yours and its mainly the sides above the ears that are thin. Just wondering if you found anything that helped yours
I started microneedling on my hair part at 1.5mm once a week for probably 2 months and no joke, I think it caused scar tissue to form on my scalp where it was used. I used it on my part towards the back of my head and I lost my hair there. If you saw me from behind you could also see my hair part from behind. I'm 98% sure it's from the dermapen as I have long hair and once I started using it on the part, I had hair loss for sure! Never before could you see my hair part from behind but now you can due to the hair loss the dermapen caused back there. Just be careful when using 1.5mm I guess. I learned the hard way🤷🏼♂️ Anyways, the part has not recovered, no new hair has grown and now I have to wear a fucking hat everywhere for the past 7 months and ongoing.
@@gw4980 no, but the hair is not growing back and it's been 7 months now..all I can do is hope the hair surrounding the part thickens up around it to boost volume and hopefully fill it in now.
