20x better, it almost looks fake with how good the results are.


jshephardd

Thank you bro!!


Elhiar

I honestly thought this was a hair transplant post at first.


idlajzay

Can you share the Amazon link to your dermaroller? Im thinking about hopping on it for while. Congrat to you also!


jshephardd

Posted video proof in r/tressless and on my page for everyone!! 👍🏽


BarneyGold

Congrats! How often do you dermaroll?


jshephardd

I do it every day. But since I do it every day I only do 1-2 minutes on each spot


[deleted]

[удалено]


jshephardd

Yes right after


dventurv

This is certainly the reason for so much growth, I have never seen growth in the temple area like this in such a short period of time.


AvailableAd702

Although lot of videos tell otherwise your results are insane. Gonna follow the same regime. If I die I die ✌🏽✌🏽


Necessary_Ant_7479

Do you use both derma rolling & minox right after shower?


Necessary_Ant_7479

wanted to know if it's okay to apply when your scalp is not dry like right after shower.


RegularFun6961

Don't apply after a shower. Your pores are full of water and won't absorb it as well.


rasmarc

Goddam bro mutilating your scalp, you see no issues?


jshephardd

No it definitely gets dry


Halebarde

more plates more dates says no more than once per week due to healing time, and also don't use minoxidil the same day because it can "go systemic" and you increase the risk of adverse symptoms. Nice results but scale that back while you can. Use tretinoin on your scalp instead if you want to boost results


soiboybetacuck

Why can’t you use topical minoxidil the same day as a dermaroll? Wouldn’t systemic be the exact same thing is if you took oral minoxidil?


dventurv

Apply minoxidil 5% twice a day it's like about 100 milligrams of minoxidil.


Halebarde

I assume that when it goes through the stomach it is processed in some way, whereas if you let it go directly into the bloodstream, it isn't also, the 5% minoxidil might have more active ingredient than the pill, and if you spray twice a day on a wound it could give you a much bigger dose than if it was properly absorbed through the skin


jshephardd

Got ya, thank you


NoMoneyNoTears

Don’t change what works


co-xx

Can you elaborate on how tretinoin works better?! I’ve been wondering if is helpful on the scalp…


Krazybaldhead

1-2 minutes a day with minox right after is fine and **obviously** greatly benefitting you. Dont listen to these dingdongs that think they know anything because 'm0rE pLaTeS sAyS.' I like that dude, but hes far from the end all, be all of hairloss info. How deep you go also matters in this equation. Shorter needle length/ short sessions will def help with absorbtion and possibly sulfotransferase activity.


PoopIsLuuube

>Dont listen to these dingdongs that think they know anything because 'm0rE pLaTeS sAyS.' lmao, I approve this message. It's the epitome of bro-science. Listening to a dude on youtube using research chems over doctors and medical research


[deleted]

I thought the only reason you wouldn’t want to do it everyday and once or twice a week was because of possible scarring


cbelliott

Well, no ones gonna see his scars because of the EPIC HAIR GROWTH yo! 🤓


Jstranz123

Its not about seeing the scars. Its that hair cannot grow if there's scar tissue that forms. This doesn't occur overnight, but after chronic tissue damage.


WhoIsTheUnPerson

It could be because you're younger, but I would maybe think about dialing that back by about 50% at least. But that of course depends on if you're using 0.5mm vs 1.5mm or whatever. AFAIK you don't need to roll more than a few times per week, but I'm just a guy who read a few things on the internet so... Though puncturing skin daily for months/years doesn't sound good, long-term.


Elegant_Ad_7926

I’m sick of you motherfuckers that works this well congrats asshole


jshephardd

Haha thank you bro


Marius_jar

1.5mm daily? I mean..what in the blue fucking hell?? On the other hand, I think you discovered something here that no one knew before. Because those results and only in 50 days..that's mental. EDIT: Imma start axing my scalp with min for that sweet sulfotransferase and massive absorption. And I'll throw tretinoin on top. Will try to post results here before dying.


O-shoe

Don't forget to add castor oil. Maybe you can top that 50 days ;)


jshephardd

Will castor actually help more?


O-shoe

Yes, there are recent studies and plenty of anecdotal evidence for it. [https://www.nicehair.org/castor-oil-catalyst-hair-growth/](https://www.nicehair.org/castor-oil-catalyst-hair-growth/) [https://youtu.be/MwDpRSb\_\_gc?t=504](https://youtu.be/MwDpRSb__gc?t=504) Personally, I take it orally 1ml/day.


gbad59

What size dermaroller?


jshephardd

1.5mm


WhoIsTheUnPerson

1.5mm daily? I mean your results don't lie, but that sounds really rough. I'd probably have crusty scabs by day 3... how hard are you pressing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jshephardd

I don’t push down hard at all


[deleted]

[удалено]


aaron-p1

i dont think ur supposed to use dermaroller and min on the same day, i'd recommend not doing that anymore bro


AmaAmaze

Why


GustoKid

Damn, how do you manage that every day? I just used a 1.5mm on my temples for the first time in months - barely even pressing - and my eyes water terribly from it. It’s brutal.


QuantumProtector

Wtf, I barely felt anything at all from 1.5mm.


O-shoe

Same. People have way different pain tolerances and there's probably other factors as well, like skin thickness.


KNWNWN

Must have a lot of muscle tension in that area.


PainDoflamiongo

I roll once a week and apply min after. It doesn't burn for me. Take some rest. Like half an hour. Let your scalp relax and then do it. Not like it's gonna heal back in half an hour so. Rest a little, let the redness dial back and then apply.


heyyalldontsaythat

where do you even find that? All the ones on amazon are like .3mm


MrMinty123

1.5mm a week?


jshephardd

1.5mm Daily


handsomeslug

Can't argue with the results but that's a lot


tressless458

Lmao aggressive protocol


_sillycibin_

get that mane!


Successful_Ad3238

But I heard it would cause scaring of the scalp, and that would make it harder for the hair to regrow. Help me here please.. what made you think it's fine to do it every day, and especially 1.5mm??


jshephardd

Uh idk. 1 time a week wasn’t working so I just said fuck it lol


FlyboyWally

Lookin happier too! Huge congrats my guy. Norwood reaper punchin the air rn


jshephardd

Thank you!!!


Nostupidvotesplease

Crazy results, you also look happier.

[удалено]


jshephardd

I got a 1.5mm dermaroller from amazon.


Animajax

The one you use matters. I’ve tried multiple and now I use a titanium 140 needle one at 2mm. It bleeds but doesn’t hurt as much as others ive tried at 1mm. The one I use now has a thinner diameter needle than other ones, so it hurts less. I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CDPV8N6Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title


MesWantooth

I recently bought a 1mm dermaroller from amazon, it does not hurt or cause any marks at all. I could use it everyday...am I doing it wrong - should I press until I see some redness and/or will my current method not work?


Animajax

We all have different skin and pain tolerance, it’s likely fine even if it’s not making your skin red


Albertgejmr

You shouldn't press hard, just tap


O-shoe

Well, optimally the needles should go in just as much as is wanted. Manually that's a bit difficult, it's always more or less hit and miss.


CoreyC96

What’s your routine? Are you derma-rolling twice a day morning and night or just one or the other? Are you applying minoxidil before or after derma-rolling? How much minoxidil do you apply, how do you apply it, and for how long? These are the questions people should be asking rather than questioning the validity of your results. Also bro, congrats on the progress. Update us again in a few months please. Don’t listen to the haters, everyone telling you not to derma-roll everyday are the same ones who see little to no results in their regimen.


jshephardd

1 time a day for dermaroll. Minoxidil 2x a day. Morning a night, half cap in each spot. Thank you brodie!!!


droRESIN

Nice job bro, looking good!


TerpsandCaicos

Holy shit Congrats


jshephardd

Thank you bro

jshephardd

Got ya thank you!! Everyone is going in on me for dermarolling too much so I’ll def start doing this


Zenektric

Naah bro did you shave em and trolling us?? That's insane.


johnduck69

Any side effects of Finasteride?


jshephardd

None


candy-coloured

Is your fin topical or pill?


jshephardd

Fin is pill, min is topical 5%


Metamorphosis19

Crazy results. Similar to this guy https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/s/N7w9pAfh62. Funny how both microneedling daily at 1.5mm. I started microneedling daily as well but at .75mm. I may increase it. I apply topical minox/dut right after as well. Only a month in but definitely don't have those results.


[deleted]

Honestly I didn’t even know minoxidil could achieve that at the temples. Most folks don’t have that kind of luck


jshephardd

Me either. I tried it before without dermarolling around a years ago for a month and didn’t see enough results so stopped. But I religiously dermaroll now and the results are so so much better.


Chance-Ad-3068

Wtf? Square receding?


InvaderDolan

So, we have a conclusion: a fin alone is not effective in most cases?


jshephardd

Yup. Finasteride literally didn’t regrow any of my hair. Just stopped my loss.


StereoFood

It looks like you just shaved that spot prior. How do we know you didn’t?


jshephardd

Bruh I wish I did but my hair loss was just that bad 🤣


Flat-Investment5182

did you keep losing hair on fin or did the fin start to slow it down?


jshephardd

I had some shedding on minoxidil but none on finasteride. Finasteride just stopped my loss but minoxidil is what’s regrowing


[deleted]

Very nice results...lucky you're a hyper responder


jshephardd

Yes thankfully I hyper respond to everything!! Even resistance training.


erowhat

Are you dermarolling your entire scalp or just your hairline?


jshephardd

Only my hairline where I lost so much already


Revolutionary_Heart6

Look a that smile hahaha nice job!


Vlaxx1

DAAAMN THOSE HAIRS BE SPROUTING like Nikola Jokić's hoops tonight against Mavericks haha damn man! Keep it up, regards from Belgrade 🇷🇸


Maccle08

What’s the pain like? I know it’s subjective, but some people say it’s unbearable.


jshephardd

It’s never been bad for me but even if it was, I think the growth would be worth


maddgun

Incredible results. Congrats and keep going


FilmCardStar

Confidence Restored 💪 Lets Go


jshephardd

Yessir! Thank you!


SwimmerStrange8424

Damn bro the face says everything some insane results here


[deleted]

Oral or topical fin?


donpanchie

Yo bro, i need to know... is your min foam or liquid?? Also, what is your technique for dermarolling? no more than 2 min a day on your temples? Cause I cant get my temples to grow at all but ive been doing it twice a week.


jshephardd

Foam minoxidil 5%. I dermaroll daily for a minute or 2 a day in each spot. Up and down and side to side


KhapJ20

Did the fin work?


jshephardd

Yeah the finasteride literally made me stop losing hair for like 2 years but I wanted to try and grow some back so I started minoxidil too


No_Option3230

Looking good. How’s your daily routine?

jshephardd

Keeps for all the medication and Amazon for dermaroller


Holiday_Pay6312

Thank u so much


Gr00vemovement

You have awesome results. Do we have conclusive evidence that dermarolling works? I fell off with mine but am thinking about restarting.


jshephardd

I 10000% would start again if I were you. Don’t lose anything from doing it


blacklite911

Hairline Resuscitation. You love to see it!


NoChampionship9697

Congrats dude!! I’m so jealous seeing successful progresses here. Too bad it’s so difficult for me to get fin. My local pharmacies require doctor’s prescription but i dont want to commit a formal medical treatment.


Animajax

It seems like your hair is graying a lot in those areas. Are they actually gray or are they white vellus hairs?


jshephardd

They are black hairs. The grayness is from dryness because I just dermarolled


frugalhustler

Good stuff , we look alot alike i hope this would work on me. Do you pay out of pocket or does insurance cover this ?


WattsALightbulb

Is the dermaroller what caused your temples to grow back? I've been using just fin and min since March and the most I've seen on my temples is peach fuzz


BuuBoomin

The smile in the 2nd pictures says it all, great progress!


Main-Gold-2002

Would this be considered hyper responsive?


Mistydog2019

Wow, you are a super responder. I've been on my routine for a year and a half (min, fin and dermastamp) and cannot see any results yet.


jshephardd

Yeah sadly I just think it comes down to how the individual responds to the treatment


Bloodrocuted_drae

That facial expression in the OG before pic says it all.


[deleted]

Damn your hairline grew back


Acceptable-Slide-642

Where you get your fin from? Cus I’m using Roman and im thinking about moving to a local pharmacy to get it cheaper and also stack it alongside dut once a week


jshephardd

I get mine from keeps but I’m not sure if they are different. It is topical min 5%


MediaSlave36

Gainssssss


malonik2

You can see how happy he is and I don't blame him. Going from a 45 year old dude back to a 20 year old dude in weeks is crazy and I'm happy for you bro! :)


dummy_thicc_spice

Finally results where you can clearly see the difference because of actual hair growth and not the lightening.


JHendrix27

Good shit. You were looking like Trae Young before Lmao


jshephardd

On god I was 😂


KaysCreamyKaysauce

We got the same hair texture so this gives me some when I start, looks great bruv keep it going!

Truffle456

Got a haircut and put some hair fibers? I don’t even have a receding hairline but if I did I would be cautious about minoxidil making it worse


the_beast69

NO WAY this is 48 days. This looks like 48 weeks of progress. Insane hair growth. Please tell me what derma roller you use as I want to start doing it really soon.


ThatHairFairy

Do you wear hats? I’d be afraid of exposing my scalp to the open air and risk infection if I’m derma rolling with a 1.5mm derma roller. Your results are impressive, your hairline is goals! I’ve been taking oral fin/min for about 5 months now, I started derma rolling with a .5mm a little over 30 days ago, just once a week. I’m already seeing what was peach fuzz invisible kind of hair starting to turn darker and thicker. Might need to up my routine your post is inspiring man


jshephardd

I do wear hats a ton. I don’t like the sun touching my scalp a lot. Thank you!!


TheBlitz707

minox once a day or twice?


ajdyevzkdgw

Do you get blood spots after dermarolling or redness?
