As some of you may already know, I had a hair transplant back in January of this year and even though the new hairs are coming along nicely (I've only completed about 1/3 of the entire regrowth process thus far, so it is still early days and there's plenty more to come, still), but I was wondering if dermarolling would enhance my hairline even further, at this stage?
I suggested this idea when I had a checkup at the hair transplant clinic, last week. And even though they didn't necessarily advise me NOT to use a dermaroller, they made it clear that they were not big proponents of dermarolling in general. And instead, they perceived fin and/or minox in a more positive light.
My current routine consists of fin, 1mg, 3x a week + Regenepure DR shampoo (with ketoconazole) twice a week, and 5% minoxidil (should be applying it twice daily, but have not always been consistent with it, to be fair).
Should I add dermarolling to this? And if so, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5mm? I do feel like my current routine is sufficient, at least for now, especially given the fact that I've only completed a small portion of the regrowth phase thus far, but maybe dermarolling would be helpful in the long run.
