For encouraging hair growth, I boosted my protein intake, rubbed my scalp with coco onion oil, and applied Reactivate hair serum by liitllexttra. I started getting new hair growth in just 16 weeks.
I’m applying reactiavate hair growth serum and the Cocoonion hair oil. I’m using the oil two times a week and the serum every day. I’m experiencing positive hair growth results.
doing a scalp massage with the silicone scalp massager from littleeextra is really good for my scalp. i first apply their hair oil and then wash it off with the shampoo and conditioner from littlelextraa. at night, i apply only the reactivatee hair serum and the next morning wash it off with plain water. i have never faced hair fall since i started this routine. actually, my head feels fuller with hair, and the thinning areas are filling in with new hairs.
Wow you really went a whole video and couldn’t even mention lengths to try or not try, I’m impressed
Imagine him teaching a class 😂
What a waste of 5mins of my life. "Start low" Do you know how unhelpful that is? We need numbers.
0,5
Exactly if i have 0.5, 1 and 1.5, which one is lower, how do I read the scale???
@@Kumar-du2pr Are you retarded? We are talking about using a lower depth and you don't know if .5 is lower than 1.5? Start on the lowest depth available to you and increase it if you aren't bleeding and can tolerate it.
God bless people like you who actually comment. Saves the rest time.
Truth
Mine own hair growth progress and success, I followed this daily regimen:
Take early morning sunlight daily for vitamin D. Consume vegetables of various colours. Applying paraben-free and fragrance free hair shampoo and gently massaging twice a week with hair oil by litttleextra cooconion. Imp. to keep in mind that hair growth is affected by general well-being as well as circulation and nutrition.
this may not work for males.
The cocoonnioonn hair shampoo and oil effectively controlled the hair fall.
A derma roller with 0.25mm needles is generally considered too short for stimulating hair regrowth in areas with significant hair loss or a receding hairline. These shorter needles are more suitable for improving skincare product absorption and enhancing skin texture.
For hair regrowth on a receding hairline, it's typically recommended to use a derma roller with longer needles, ideally in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 millimeter.
Where did you get this info?
I got ,0.2 without researching lucky it was cheap I felt penetration a bit on the hairline
I got myself a 0.3 mm. Is it any good?
Guys plz use 0.5 , 0.5 is considered as standard for recovering hair lines , and also use gently dont use external pressure either it could damage your hair follicle and so how you can loose you hair line permanently
Modern research says with a hand roller. 1-1.5 is best for most people and start short if you worry. Goal is redness, with no or very rare bleeding.
For anyone wondering! 0-5 to 1mm depth is ideal to start and to avoid scarring.
According to some; anything less than one millimeter in depth won't stimulate hair grown as well, but its better to start low to avoid harming follicles or skin tissue
1 second and I have what I need. Thanks for wasting my time Dr. Obvious
Thank you. Glad I didn't watch the video !!
I got 0.2 without researching will this do anything I feel it a bit on the airline
@@vibezplanet9015 0.2 is too shallow, especially if its a roller instead of a pen
@@sugarfly456 microneedle/dermaroll 2 times a week and increase by 0.5 after 4 uses
This makes perfect sense if you look at the anatomy of a single hair, with reference to the hair bulb and underlying blood supply.
Hi all! I'm almost 30 years old, male, and I just started using a dermaroller with minoxidil. I'll keep you updated if you reply to me here.
Update
❤
??
Can't see anyhing noticable yet, but looks like a tiny improvement in those thinning areas. I will be updating you after some time, stay tuned :)
Following this.
How long do we have to use it each time, and how many days in a week?
I combine Minoxidil 2% in the morning, 5% in the evening and micro needling 1mm once a week. I am a woman, 32 years old. Get bald over 10 years, my hair thinner and see through day by day.
Someone told me that micro needling is not good for my hair because it will make me shedding more.
I suggest you to do one long session every few weeks or so. The point is not to do it too often, you'll not gonna do as much of a damage per period and it's still gonna be highly effective.
If done too harshly it can especially at first, try some hair fibers to cover up the thinning hair
Update?
Ana updates?
Update?
You didn't say what LOW OR HIGH actually is! 🤷♂️ .25 ?? .5?? 1?
This one's obvious
Depends if using roller or pen. 2x the pen needle size and that's how deep a roller goes with moderate force.
And whatever you can do without bleeding seems what the video says
Thank you! Great video. Short and sweet with usable and practical advice that can be used immediately free of commercial or bias.
I just got 0.25 derma roller on Amazon, I am planning to switch to 0.5 in a month. I also use once a day the spray from Hims that has finasteride and minoxidil.
is monoxdil or derma roller relly works
Anything below 1mm will not work as 1mm is the depth of the hair follicles. I'm confused between 1mm and 1.5mm
@@Sudhirkumar-gc9lsYes. Dermaroller is somewhat more effective than minoxidil. But when combined they are pretty useful
Update i just ordered a 1mm instead of 0.50
Does it hurt now?
I was always curious if the needles in dermarolling/dermastamping splits and duplicates the hair follicle. I've plucked hairs that have come back double elsewhere on my body and was curious if this was possible.
Smart observation! How is your hair now? mind to update?
U r a genius and helpful for all the bald guys out there.much thanks
Where's Knudsen?
Must be minting money
0.5 mm is best for beginners , cuz 1mm can damage hair follicles if you are beginner and gives lot of pain.
For shaved head 0.5 mm is perfect if you are using at home. Higher than 1mm is only for clinical use we should not do at home.
I used .5 at first d stopped after 2 months now no use more than 8 months which i use?
Using wood comb...and comb regularly...show some improvement in growth...when u comb...we are also stimulating the sculpture...
Also doctor a question that you could answer to your next video. You said that finasteride at 5 years the ratio falls to 64%.. What if someone doesn't take it for a whole month which is the period required for our body to completely wash out finasteride, will the ratio go back to 89% once start taking it again? If it's the case, would it help if we stopped using finasteride for a month once per year? Another question, let's say that I have a very slight recession on my temples, and judging by my family tree, none goes beyond norwood 3 until very old age. Will taking 1-2mg weekly of finasteride would be any benefit for me? I am personally using minoxidil only daily the last 2 months and my doctor told me that my hairline got better than it was two years ago, I didn't lose any ground. So what would be the best way to maintain my hairline? Topical finasteride + minoxidil, or some low dose of finasteride like 1-2 mg weekly plus minoxidil?
1mg weekly? That's way too low.
No ! If it stops working still that Fin and 1 of Dut O.50 mg cap, 1 a week is enough ! This should stop your hair loss.
After finasteride stopped working for me, I started using dutasteride once a week and finasteride the other six days. It didn't slow down my hair loss at all, so I discontinued finasteride entirely, and now I use 0.5mg of dutasteride every day. Maybe the once-weekly dose of dutasteride helps some people, but it was too small of a dose to do anything for me.
@@dualscreengrant is it not a new hair shedding faze, I’m surprised you should on fin 6 mg a week with 1 cut 0.5 a week should stop hair loss and should thicken up your existing hair. I would stick with it ! It can take up to 1 or 2 years for results. Shedding faze can last from 2 weeks to 3 or 4 mouths.
@@dualscreengrant finastride wont stop working
I bought a Koi Beauty stamp. I stamped my entire head and I only saw some blood up at the front of the crown where my hairline used to be. Sadly, very little is left of the hair. This is the only place I saw any blood. Also, there's a dermatologist recommending a depth of 2.5 ml. That channel is MD Pen Microneedling. I can't even be sure what the depth is on the cheap Koi tool. It spins about .05 before it does anything. Reviewers say that when you push down with it that the needles push back into the base. I didn't notice this myself when I used it. I'm surprised the needles are so fine to where I can barely see them even when they are out. The needles are like the bed of nails that people lay on and then have people walk on them. Or that is what it reminded me of.
He wants to say - use 0.5. Thanks.
i think this is the best advice I've heard regarding dermaroller size. Thanks alot But my question is how often or the ideal period of time to use the dermaroller ؟
Once every 7-10 days if you are damaging a lot
Once after you go to sleep
@@madi8181is it okay to use it just before i wake up? or do i have to do it early on in my sleep?
Untill your hair regrows
What is the optimum size bro
Is 0.3mm too short for dermarolling? I really don't like the pain and I'm not sure if I can handle longer needles.
A Derma Stamp mite be better.
Are you joking, even a mosquito has a 1mm needle length. Get an adjustable derma stamp, start with the 0.5mm and continue until you see very little dot bleeding, then you can switch to that size of derma roller so the procedure will consume less time and the product is cheaper as well. If you can't tolerate pain, then go with 0.3mm-0.5mm 3 times a week with minoxidil daily for only absorption.
@@giorgikuprava1055 well mosquito hurts and draws out blood we dont want that now do we?
So what depth is a good starting place? And what is the maximum depth one should attempt?
.50 is a good starting point. In my opinion dont go above 1.5. I did .50 at first and now I am on .75. In a month I will try 1.0. Stay there for a month then try 1.25 for awhile. If its too much I will go back to 1.0. If I can handle 1.5 I will attempt. But in the literature .60 depth once a week. Or when people go above 1.0 its done less frequently like once every 2 weeks to once a month since its deeper. But 1.5 is the needle depth max I have seen for scalp/hair loss studies.
@@violindalola How did it go? any change? does it hurt?
@@xiaoyu88 It worked. My hair grew back to normal density. Its like I never had a 10 year old chemical burn on my scalp. ^___^
@@xiaoyu88 The area was bald before due to a severe chemical burn from a beautician putting a chemical straightener on my scalp instead of just the hair for too long
@@violindalola Im so happy for you! that's great!
I understand that we should start with short needles and lengthen them gradually, but what length should we start at?
This is my question too

watch at 2 minutes and 30 sec of that vid
start at like 0.5
@@thephoenix7090 Thanks!
Clear and concise. All i needed to know.
How often should you use a derma roller?
Doc just get to the point and say you don't know the answer as you are just beating around the bush at this point. More Plates More Dates is way more knowledgeable. And for those wonder what the answer is it's 1.5mm for hair growth on the scalp once a week and 0.5mm once a week on the beard area.
......the all encompassing answer for everyone. i love it!
@@TheHairLossShow hlo Doc can 1.2mm depth of derma roller cause any risk in damaging scalp or hair follicle
@@TheHairLossShow please answer this I'm worrying about it because I had done the 3 sessions of it with 1.2mm depth and take these sessions 1 month apart
@@TheHairLossShow The human body is so simple, lighten up man. DUH!
In China where poeple are more advanced in science the main depth for a person are usually 1mm for most people.Also for a thick skin 1.5 mm-2mm.
More advanced in science you say?? Oh please do show us all the research papers performed on this topic that have demonstrated any superior knowledge. The truth is that studies are currently building data but there’s no conclusive length. Your numbers do fit for the American dermatology recommendations. But the doctor is advising caution as everyone reacts differently. But spare the BS that China is somehow ahead on this 😂 they just can’t get sued if the eff somebody up like they do in western countries
What about rosemary oil
I used a derma pen, and for a few months now, my hair in one spot seems thinner. In that same spot, I once penned myself to where it hurt for about 48 hours, but with no bleeding. Just the sting of inflammation from the jab of the automatic pen. For there to be permanent hair loss via scarring or otherwise, is bleeding a necessity? I have heard that traumatized follicles can come back after many months, which is fine with me, but scars disallow this from being possible.
what depth you used? scarring your scalp is indeed not the best
Nice vedio, sir suggest best derma roller size 0.5 or 1.5 mm for scalp hair regrowth 😊
Hi.. i was wondering, when is the optimal timing to apply hair serum when dermaroling? ( specifically hair growth serum that contains redensyl )
did you got any answer?
Litterslly the best explaination on TH-cam
One commenter asked, and I would also like to know: Does derma rolling prior to HT reduce the efficacy of an HT? Thanks
No
1.5 is the best depth !

Will this ned increase the risk og side effects and infection?
Which Dermo Roller do you prefer? With 192 needles or 540 needles? With real needles? Steel or titanium?
Derma stamp I found much better and you can adjust the needle length
Is there a point in applying rosemary oil after dermarollying?
No, unless you like the smell
@@jacobanderson6952 they say it's comparable to minoxydil so why just the smell?
@@ΑβάσιμοςΠρίγκιπς Rosemary oil isn't proven to be as effective as minoxidil. There isn't any conclusive evidence showing that. Also, previous studies have only compared it to 2% minoxidil, which is weaker than the standard 5% minoxidil solution. You can still apply rosemary oil if you'd like, but don't have high expectations for it.

Where is Dr Russell?
He has lost all his hair so not coming back 😝
If it works . Why dident you used it on your self. ????
How often per week
So, there should (ideally) be NO bleeding afterwards?
According to the video, yes.
I heard (videos of other persons) that small bleeding is ok, but I will trust the doctor here as they are great and backed by the science.
now my hair line is fucked up, some might say it gives McDonalds even. but. what sense does it make to take advice from a doctor whos hairline looks like mine.
I've been doing it for half a year, recently seen videos of professionals doing it and the skin is covered in blood...so is that how deep it should go to be effective?
"atleast blood deep?"
I have a 1.5 Mil one. Am concious of how much push as this is a long needle? Only used once every 1.5 weeks ... also when is the optimal time to apply minoxidle after a roll... any answers much appreciated
I’ve read that 1.5mm needle is to only use every 5wks
dam , you did not answer the main question .... 2-1-05-02 what ?
Does Toppik cause hair loss? I don't think it does, but I watched a TH-cam video where they said it clogs follicles. I think it would help to have a doctor explain whether it's true or a myth that Toppik causes hair loss.
Lol no
Hi I’m not a Doctor, but I listened to one and he said to give your scalp a brake from hair fibres regardless of brand so your hair follicles have time to breathe. Would the spray on type be better it gives the thick look to the but don’t bloke the hair follicles.
Would it be OK to use Toppik only four days a week or less? I don't use it on days that I stay home. I think I have slight improvement from dutasteride and oral minoxidil, but I'm not a hyper responder. I think SMP might help.
@@dualscreengrant I think it was one of Dr. Russel Knudsen, I’ll see if I can find for you Bro 👍
I have good news. I've slowly responded to dutasteride or oral minoxidil (maybe both). The medications have done wonders to improve my diffuse thinning, and I've stopped using Toppik. My hair isn't as thick as it was two years ago, but it's presentable without any cosmetic products. That's a big improvement from six months ago, when my only options were to use Toppik or maintain a guard zero haircut. That's how bad my diffuse thinning was.
Not much advice here, start low what does that mean 0.1,0.2,0.3??
I would advice to buy a dermastamp where you can adjust the lenght. Rollers cause more damage as the needle doesn't go straight in and out. Also those lenghts are too shallow to activate stem sells and growth factors. 1,5mm is recommended for hair regrowth. But it shouldn't be done every week as that can cause scarring. I do 1,5mm every other week, and 0,5mm every other week (helps topicals to absorb better).
Thanks for your reply and explaining in details :)@@j00f
Hey Doc please do a video on the link between sugar/artificial sweeteners/insulin and hair loss. Thank you
Yes would be interesting as a type 1 diabetic to know how insulin effects hairloss
The short is answer, as far as androgenic alopecia goes, not much. Inflammation might not help things, but it's ultimately a hormonal thing.
@@austaneousc5802 i would disagree i believe it has a big effect. Spikes in insulin increase androgens in the body which then increases hair loss.
@@tommygunTW1 An increase in androgenic activity doesn't mean much on it's own - otherwise supplements like creatine, which increases circulating DHT, would result in hairloss. Furthermore, we would see far more bald obese people and far fewer plant based bald men.
What matters is how much testosterone is converted into DHT, how much of that binds to the androgen receptors in the hair follicles, and how sensitive those hair follicles are to begin with. There are plenty of insulin sensitive vegans who still go bald. Male pattern baldness is a genetic predisposition. It sucks, but it is what it is and no amount of fiberous foods will save you.
@@austaneousc5802 If you are genetically disposed to hair loss then things like creatine and insulin spikes will increase hair loss. This is 100% fact. If you dont have MPB then it is all completely irrelevant in which i would agree, creatine, sugar, insulin spikes etc will not give you hair loss. This point is only specific to people already diagnosed with hair loss and the fact that the above listed things will increase it. So my orginal request for the hair loss show to make a video on was about how they affect people with MPB and to what extent do they make it worse.
Is it allowed to perform microneedling over a lipoma?
How long do you need to use dermaroller in terms of months? when can we stop?
You never stop
Doc I got some gyno problem from 1 mg alternate days of fenestride..I reduce the dose 0.5 mg alternate days it's been 7 days no problem..if this does pattern suits me..then my question is 0.5 mg effective for hairloss??
there is an older video where they talk about this, the 0.5 dose is effective
Yes, doses as low as 0.2mg/day are scientifically proven. Any higher doeses above this point should give better results.
I believe 0.5 blocks 75% DHT, and 1mg blocks 79%. Its not a huge difference.
I’m using 0.5mm. I don’t see the blood on my scalp. Is that ideal to start? How often we roll this scalp.
After a year did it work or any progress?
How about the age factor or years of inactive follicles? Is 63 too late? The hair I have left is still healthy.
My brother is 55 and he got regrowth back on his temple areas. I actually couldn't believe it and now I'm on it.

Big fan sir i like doctor like a you and Russell knudes ❤️
Can we use topical anaesthesia before rolling?
Based on the research I've done, pretty much any needle length can cause blood, all depends how many times you roll. So should blood really be the indication?
Is dermarolling by repeatedly puncturing the skin with a scalpel blade held in ones hand (without a scalpel blade holder) too deep? I just let the resistance of the skin dictate the depth the scalpel blade goes to and it does cause bleeding. I thought I was doing it perfectly until watching this video ...
I had never seen blood doing dermaroller with needle from 1mm to 1.5 mm.
how often can i use my derma stamp? can i use it once a week? or every other day.
Once a week. Depth 0.5

Surprising that no actionable figures of depth were given. I'm sure I'm not alone in scratching my head wondering what depth is too deep to pierce my scalp with.

For those that think this was a waste of 5 minutes for not answering the question about depth lenght, it wasn't a waste of time genius, he just said that every individual is different since every skin type isn't the same, that's why he said to start low and work yourself up till you start to bleed then go down a notch🤡🤣

Is derma-rolling worth doing if you’re taking oral minoxidil?
Yes
I asked my dermatologist. He said microneedling doesn't do anything for hair loss unless you are using it along with a topical product. My hair loss regimen is dutasteride and oral minoxidil. My doctor said that microneedling wouldn't be useful to me because I don't use any topical products.

I've always had a messy/uneven hairline but my temples were always fine (not totally perfect even as kid, I'm 31 now) I never cared about hair loss. But I've became a bit paranoid after watching a video of a youtuber I'm suscribed to adressing this topic on a personal level. I really can't tell if I'm receding because I've always had this saw like pattern that had random hairs growing separatedly and stuff.

Thankyou. You explained everything perfectly.
Maybe next to time give numbers rather than vague terms.
For hair loss prevention/regrowth, the literature says 1-2.5mm are effective. Less than that and youre pretty much wasting your time.
I've been derma tillering 1.5mm for about 6 months sometimes drawing pinpricks of blood not running though.. I've been doing that 1-3 times a week with Minoxodil and also sometimes alternating that with 0.5mm on other days and sometimes just Minoxodil without rollering. Is 1.5mm do you think too deep given I'm getting some pinpricks of blood and the day after can feel like it possibly is scabbing for a day or so slightly.. I continue to massage the scalp daily and apply Minoxodil, I've been applying it just once a day at night after derma rollering as 1ml is not enough to cover so I've been doing 2-3ml once in the evening and massaging thoroughly in scalp after derma rollering or on its own. If I've used 1.5mm needles I won't derma roll for a day or 2 afterwards, (unless it's with 0.5mm needles). I've also not noticed a great deal of change would you advise fenasteride also!?
Thanks from London England 👍😎🏴
Doc would not reply.. because these days no reply is given by the doc..as far as my advice..I think 0.5 mg alternate days of fenestride will help you.. 👍 all the best..
Fin works best to maintain existing hair that's why its best to be proactive so youre not trying to play catchup
@@SuperDodoe but bro initially fenesterid causes huge hair shedding.. infact it happened with me..will fenesterid help to regrow those hairs??
@@bestrong1955 short answer yes...just means fin is working by pushing out the old hairs and starting new. Watch the "hair loss show" older videos for in-depth info
At 1.5 mm you should only be derma rolling once a week. That's all that's needed also you have to give your skin time to heal. Wait 24 hrs after derma rolling before applying Minoxidil or anything else to your scalp... even shampoo. Just rinse with water if you have blood to wash away.
Hi - i have been using micro needling for hair loss on my scalp and crown. I have a question - does this cause scarring over time? Will that make me ineligible for hair transplant if there is some scarring on scalp? If so how to heal the scarring
No it does not cause scarring infact microneedling is used to make scars look better especially in the face , and it has no impact on hair transplant.
Derma ROLLING could cause tears and small scars and damage hair follicles but microneedling with a pen or something is fine
Use a dermastamp instead of the roller
@@zatoidarkchi where can I find that device, am in need of one .. is it in pharmacy or ??
@@joshuachisha424I found an excellent pen (SORA by spa sciences) at my local (relatively upscale) CVS. Amazon sells replacement cartridges for about 2.5 /each. Dr Pen is very popular but 2.5-3x the price.
