How to Get the QUICKEST Hair Growth with a Derma Roller

Microneedling is a recently discovered technique used to treat several issues, such as acne, scar healing and skin rejuvenation. What's interesting is that when applied to the scalp, it has the potential to regrow hair lost due to hair loss. Even more fascinating is that when combined with minoxidil, people, including myself, see much better and faster results.

So, that leaves us with the question: how much better is it when combined with minoxidil? Is it worth the inconvenience of adding minoxidil, or if you're already using minoxidil, should you add microneedling to the treatment? This is the intriguing part we're going to explore today.

To do so, we'll look at some anecdotal stories. While there are many scientific studies supporting what I'm about to share, there aren’t as many before-and-after pictures to accompany them. I believe it’s best for you to see the results with your own eyes to be convinced of their effectiveness and to set some real expectations.

Only microneedling results:

Okay, let’s start by looking at some results from people who have only used microneedling to regrow their hair. First, we have this user who was in the early stages of hair loss, with thinning around the temple area.

He started using a dermaroller once a week, and four months later, these were his results. As you can see, he gained significant density around the temple area, and it seems like the dermarolling was enough to regrow his hair, for now.

Some people have commented that in the first picture, he was pulling his hair to the left, and in the second picture, he was pulling it back, which might change the appearance of the hair. That may be true, but I still think the results are great, and I’ll leave it for you to judge. Comment below what you think!

Next, we have another user who only used microneedling for six months. Here’s his hair in February and May.

Again, I think the results are impressive. However, even if he was able to partially regrow his hair and improve density, it’s definitely not enough to fully restore everything to how it was.

Only minoxidil results:

Let’s take a look at some pictures of people only using minoxidil to see how that works. First, we have this user who has been using topical minoxidil every day. Here’s his progress from April to June.

Wow! From April to June, he experienced amazing regrowth. There’s quite a bit of debate about which treatment works better—minoxidil or microneedling. Some say dermarolling, others say minoxidil. Let me know in the comments below what you think.

Anyway, let's look at the results of another user. This user was also using topical minoxidil 5% every day. Here’s his before and 10-week after picture.

The great thing is that these results are just after 10 weeks. With minoxidil, you can expect to continue improving your hair density even up to a year after starting the treatment. So 10 weeks, or 2.5 months later, is really too soon to see the full growth and the full results, and I’m sure he will continue to improve his hair.

Minoxidil and derma roller results:

Now, let’s look at the results of combining dermarolling with minoxidil, which is definitely the most effective way to treat hair loss. This combination is also recommended for those with advanced hair loss. Here’s a user who had a Norwood 6 level of hair loss. He started the combination of minoxidil and dermarolling, and four months later, these were his results. It’s fascinating to see how much hair he was able to regrow!

This combination of treatments isn’t just for advanced cases; you can also use it when you're just starting to notice hair thinning, particularly around the temple area. Here’s another user who was in the early stages of hair loss.

After combining minoxidil with dermarolling for three months, these were his incredible results. Wow! This is honestly one of the best results I’ve ever seen.
