That somehow peaked my interest in going to the gym and stopped by one after work. Now after 2 and a half years, I look great, feel great and more confident than ever. Life couldnt be better. It also affected my performance at work which landed me a big step promotion. Its weird how people at work treat you differently after some gym gains. That promotion more than doubled my salary and allows me and my girl to travel and explore comfortably. Ive wrote this a few times under past videos but when I think back and break it down, weirdly, the success Ive had in my life the past 2 years all started from watching one of Dereks videos.

Hey since we're touching on routines, you should make a video updating us on your full supplement/quality of life enhancement protocol!

I started experiencing hair loss as soon as like 17 or 18 years old, and it got so much worse when I turned like 20. For a year, I lived with this dire situation. But at 21 I started using minoxidil, and it’s been around 2 and half months that I’m using it. It definitely changed my hair density and is bringing back my dead zones to life. I think in the next 3 months it’s gonna be so much better. I’m planning to buy one of these derma pens as soon as possible. Derek was one of my big motivators to start this treatment. I thought there would be no way other than hair transplant to bring back your hair, especially those dead zones. But I was wrong. Since I have kind of a baby face, my hair was an awkward contrast to my face. Now I’m getting that balance back. I may even become a model someday.😂

Hey Derek have you ever heard of Procapil and if you have how would you compare it in terms of effectiveness for hair growth and side effects with something like Minoxidil? I’ve seen it used alongside redensyl and capixyl but I ask specifically for procapil because it’s what I use often for hair strengthening. Also I watched the entire 2.5 hr video on hydration, there were lots of factors I didn’t consider for my hydration and I actually found out my go to hydration formula was complete shit for me compared to amount of fluid and electrolytes I was losing. I train for triathlons so I’m looking for a new formula to cover my bases. Thank you for educating me

Luckily after 2 weeks I had no side effects and after 3 months I got pretty great results. Simply talking with my dermatologist made this a whole lot less stressful.

Hi Derek, I have bought the Intelligent Dermapen, it works great! One question: I have used it on my hairline and I started off trying the 0.75mm setting, I have noticed satisfactory Erythema whilst using this but I have also noticed many specs/droplets of blood on my scalp (mainly in the middle of my hairline). I have heard that microneedling too aggressively can cause fibrosis of the scalp which inhibits hair regrowth and reduces the susceptibility of potential transplanted hair, obviously these are things that I would like to avoid. So, what should I do? Should I stay at 0.75mm due to this irritation or should I continue up to 1.5mm? Best, Kane.

Apologies if this is a question that has being asked before, I was just wondering if using the pen with natural products (eg rosemary oil) if you are reluctant to go down the chemical/drug route would work at all? Also, are there any instruction videos of a step by step of how to use this pen? Again, apologies if these questions are stupid and/or have already been answered. Many thanks 🙂

If you are suffering from androgenic hair loss, no natural solutions will fix it. It you just want better hair, then I think the most effective natural thing that actually works (most are bs) is oral castor oil 1-2mg, that seems to help overall hair growth. It depends on your goal. Using micro-needling is somewhat effective on its own as well, not nearly as effective as when paired with minoxidil, but it will still help even by itself compared to doing nothing. So: *Castor oil oral *Saw Palmetto (weak 5ar inhibitor, but probably better than none) *derma-pen *biotin and other vitamins that you may be deficient in this is definitely better than nothing by a solid amount, though 5ar inhibitors like even .25mg of finasteride every other day will be more powerful than all that at stopping hair loss and increasing hair density, however this is probably the best natural stack that actually works, a lot of people say Rosemary oil and random oils, they might improve texture, but everything in this stack will actually increase density for sure. I still recommend finasteride or dutasteride if you are suffering androgenic hair loss (almost everyone will, even women btw), however this is the best natural stack that I am aware of that has some literature proving the efficacy of these items, and even women and children should be able to take these without any real health risks (castor oil is a laxative, but most people are ok at 1mg)

The natural route will just keep you further behind the starting line. Get with the minoxidil now!!

Microneedle + minox on the same day? Do you apply minox before or after micro needling? Or do you apply minox a day after microneedling? Thanks!

Do not microneedle and apply minoxidil on the same day. Wait 24 hours after microneedling, then you can apply the minoxidil on the scalp. Hope this helps :)

Hey Derek, think we can get a comprehensive video in regards to cleaning and sanitation with micro needles/rollers?

I went 3 months on just Finasteride + Keto shampoo. It appeared to really just stop my thinning, maybe a very very small regrowth on the crown. I was afraid of the minoxidil commitment, but went ahead and tried it. Im one month in adding minoxidil, have seen some very faint peach fuzz coming up around my front hairline. I figured id do the 3 month cycle, check progress, then add microneedling. I am using the intelligent brand minoxidil as well! I like the dropper and its not super greasy if you let it dry and apply carefully straight to scalp

He has videos on topical fin. Also you should be doing the minimum effective dose of fun which is .25mg I believe. He also has a video on that. Just doing 1mg regardless of your balding severity isn't the best approach. If you can't find the vids I could help you. Here's a video from some The Hair Loss show (theyre Hair Transplant surgeons) on it, they start with 1mg only 3x per week. Which is .4mg per day: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZp9ksyHcZiskdI.htmlsi=lQpmq571-nYbbc4y They have more videos on the topic as well

Derek, what are your thoughts on Serioxyl, Nanoxidill, and Redensyl? Very interested in what you think about these products. Better than Minoxidil?

You give me hope man

I really appreciate these videos my guy. Probably the biggest ego killer is losing your hair.

17 year old here and I’ve been losing tons of hair on the top of my head. Thankfully you have all these vods, going to start minoxidil today, have ketaconazole noticed it lessened my hair loss, used some rosemary oil too.

After doing my own research as well, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the best idea to hop on right now either. I understand that without the inhibiting properties of something like finasteride the main issue won’t be solved, but my goal is to slow loss as much as possible before getting bloodwork/seeing if the risks of fin are even worth it at this moment

Have you ever tried or talked about minoxidil pills? My dermatologist has had me on it for almost a year and about 6 months in I saw the difference and now its like I wasn’t losing hair. (I was thinning, had a 2/3 inch super thin area on the crown area) Edit: we started lowest dose because there could be side effects, I didn’t get em

Hey Derek. Have you ever commented on the use of creatine and finasteride concurrently? With my understanding of their opposing effects on DHT, they'd effectively just offset each other and do nothing. Thoughts? Thanks

@@isloo5978 As soon as i use even a little bit of creatine like 3-4 g my hair falls out like crazy, many time more than normal and it goes back to normal fast after i stop.

Just to be clear you mean 10 grams i assume and not 10mg. I always trying to switch up and develop my health, so i think it is time to try it soon again to see if i can get away with using it.

@@timothymarchant It is really annoying we can not use it, it makes working out feel so much better and the gains comes much easier also. I recently tried adding a daily dose of 3-5g beta-alanine and the same massive shedding started to happen just like with creatine. I hate that all the best pre workout substances do not agree with me. If i ever get bald enough to give up on my hair as an really old dude, i will be looking forward to at least be able to get some easier gains in my old bald age. I wish i could figure out some kind of biochemistry hack to be able to use it without the shedding sides, but i have tried to find one for decades and with no result, even though i have upgraded my health massively over the years. Still creatine is just hair kryptonite for me.

You are the man!

watch the video he answered that

Many many studies on depth and frequency, no solid protocol yet, 0.6mm once a week has shown significant results as well. 1.5 is pretty deep and I worry about healing in just one week. The study was with rolling, which as Derek even mentioned might result actually in not applying fully thus not really going at 1.5mm versus with a needle where its pretty much guaranteed. Not negating it, just saying be cautious as the study with a roller versus using a dermapen is not apples to apples.

As someone who was using a dermaroller before buying a dermapen I can assure that the penetration of 1.5 mm dearmaroller needles isn't 1.5 mm. Because even with dermapen set to 1 mm you can feel much greater pain. So yeah, 1.25 mm is as high as I'd go with a dermapen.

These are great for looking younger!! Think I'll order the wider one.

Just order the whole kit and excited to track my results
