In reply to Vince.

Rob,

Any thoughts on this? How long does inflammation last for scalp exercises? Can it be distinguished from being chronic,

Thanks,
Destin

I was a non responded to topical minoxidil so I take .25mg oral. Though I see everyone say you should come one minoxidil with dermarolling for more effectiveness. I assume they mean topical? Should I apply topical minoxidil on nights that I dermaroll as well as the oral?

People have also told me I need to start an oral anti-androgen in combination with minoxidil or I won’t have healthy regrowth. What do you think?

Hello Rob- Very informative and great work. This week there is a news about micro-needling and applying cerium nanoparticles, resulting in hair growth.

Interested to know your thoughts on it.

Hi Rob,
I just wanted to thank you for the voluminous info you provide! Your knowledge is only (possibly) second to your amazing altruism.

Finasteride has kept most of my hair since I started receding 22 years ago. I’m 42 now, and have receded quite a lot on the temples, but nothing on the top or back.

Just wondering a couple of things:
1) Does scalp massage and/or microneedling work in temples?
2) What do you think of nanoxidil? It contains azelaic acid (I remember I got onto Xandrox back in 97 when I was researching – it seemed to be better than standard minoxidil) and DHT suppressants.

Here is the write-up to save you time:
“Spectral.DNC-N® is the first topical hair-loss treatment to employ 5% Nanoxidil®, a powerful new alternative to Minoxidil, a compound with high efficacy, low molecular weight, and no known side effects. It arms men and women with a powerful new tool against hair loss. The compounds used in Spectral.DNC-N, have shown in various clinical studies to promote hair growth and prevent hair loss through opening ion channels within cells, suppress dihydrotestosterone (DHT), prevent perifollicular fibrosis, provide antioxidant effects, prolong the anagen phase of hair follicles, increase expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, suppress protein-kinase-C (PKC) isozymes, and block chronic inflammation. These compounds may also exert beneficial effects on other processes that are not yet fully understood. The use of Nanosome technology helps to enhance the active transport of these substances significantly into the skin and to prolong their actions. The advanced therapy for hair regrowth treats continuously for over 12 hours—significantly longer than conventional alopecia treatments—due to our proprietary Nanosome encapsulation.”
I totally don’t expect a response because I know you are super busy, Rob. I’ll just be happy if you realise how many people you are helping and that it is not unappreciated 🙂

-Eamer.

Hey Rob
Thank you for sharing your results man
I have gotten infected AGA fro 5 years ago(when i was 28 years old)that I was used to many ways to reduce DTH or regrowth hair such as just Minoxidillor, Minoxidil + Finasteride tablet/solution Minoxidil+Caffein+Finastride that it could never stop hair loss for a long time or even never stop the loss
but when I use solution Minoxidil +Finastride +Dutastride +Latanoprost the results were significant even stop loss hair for more than 6 months and even demonstrated some new small thin hair after 3 months(( At that times to have sex was done just 3-5 times in a month)) BUT suddenly after 15 times sexual connection at 2 weeks at 4 months ago, the hair loss has got started since 3 months ago until now that the ways no more answer (only the dutasteride solution, or even using only latanoprost lead to increase much more the hair loss )
I have to mention it there hasn’t been any relation sex from 4 months ago until now
Rob from last week I have got started the Messo Mcroneedling with size 1-1.5 mm but I know the significant item to get best results I have to control DTH but I don’t know what to do ???? I take dutasteride only every two days and multivitamin tablets.
I wonder if you can help me what is the best way to control DHT as long as using the Microneedling ?? or PRP??
I have disappointed after 5 years of trying to use many ways but …..

Hello!
Thanks for the contribution!
I just ordered 3mm. Is that also possible or is it a security risk? And where is the galea tendon? Are the veins above or below the tendon? To pierce this vein you would have to pierce the galea, right?

Dear Rob,
I’m thinking of having some plasma extracted from my blood in a laboratory and apply it on my scalp after using my 1.5mm dermapen. What are your thoughts on that?

I am very thankful to you for all the effort u have put in order to give us all this knowledge for free.

In reply to Josh. Hi josh were you using any other treatments for this regrowth? How long do you massage for? Thanks

Hi Rob, is there a topical that someone good use alongside a once weekly dermarolling regime that isn’t minoxidil? I had a bad experience with minox years ago where I shed quickly and that hair where I used it never came back so am quite reluctant to use it again. Also i know there may be an issue of dependency with minox. Also is some sort of topical DHT blocker needed for those who aren’t/don’t want to use finasteride?

Thanks

Oh and also I have a 1mm roller. It definitely reddens my scalp and can cause blood spots when I press harder. Is this likely to be enough when using it alone (minoxidil just never worked for me and so I don’t want to use it)? I was thinking of using it every 10 days to allow for healing time. a 15% increase in hair in thinning spots like that 2017 study would at least be something.
