I have used 5%minoxidil on my temples for a couple years or more. My method of applying it is using a dermaroller .5 going in the direction on the hair the night before I wash it. I wash my hair every other day. It has really been effective for filling in the sparse areas. I buy the Kirkland brand in the small bottles from Amazon. I put one small bottle into a small spray bottle for easier application and thoroughly rub into the areas I have derarolled.

I've been using the HairMax band for over a year, and 9-mo ago started oral minoxidil. I also use a scalp massage while bending over so it really encourages hair flow . Eight months ago I did Penn's scalp microneedling w/topical minoxidil protocol (I stopped taking the oral minoxidil during this time and used the topical for 3-mo). I microneedled my full scalp. The microneedling protocol did WONDERS for my baby hairs around my face and neck. They are now growing long!!! I'm going to do the microneedling protocol every few months to keep the follicles big. Taking oral minoxidil is easy, doesn't gunk the hair, and I'm fast child bearing age so it's a no brainer for me.

Hi, I wanted to add my personal experience with Calecim advanced hair growth serum. It is based on stem cell technology. I am 60. I had thinning all over and more so at the crown and temples. I started using the serum twice a week for the 1st round of 6 weeks. (Dermastamp and serum) My hair fall reduced substantially. I thought I saw small hairs along my part, but it was too early to tell. I decided to do the next round of once weekly application and am at the 3 month mark. I have about 2 to 3 inches of new hair growth wherever I part my hair. My crown has filled up and I dont look bald ! My part looks dense now while it used to be a wide shiny strip before. My temples are improving. While my hairline has receded slowly over the years, I have not noticed any major change there apart from the receding at the part getting filled up. I had to wear my hair short since any length would make it look scraggly. I tried letting it grow a bit and it looks great with good volume along the whole length. I have decided to go for another round of 3 months. I was anxious about starting it because the reviews were mixed and it is expensive. In my case, it is working well. Hope this helps somebody !

The budget dermatologist did a video on hair serums and made a point to say folks should pay attention/read the descriptions of the serums (like vegamour) and not so much the advertising. That most of them aren't for growing hair but rather for scalp health/nourishing or removing build-up. Another esthethician channel, Go See Christy, has recommended the Dr. Sister eyelash serum (it's pricey) but she says she has noticed growth for her lashes.

Hi, Penn. Thank you very much for the research you've put into this and for sharing your thoughts. I found out about the Revive line of products from you and have been very impressed with the results I'm seeing with their lash product (which I use on my brows as well). I'm wondering if you have looked at their hair growth program/product? I was just about to give it a go, when, as luck would have it, this video of yours popped into my YT feed. Have a great day!

The reason I mentioned this is I figure if it is OK to microneedle the skin with Latisse then it should be fine on the scalp. Definitely just watch for irritation though as always. 🩷🩷🩷 I’m going to thank Justin!!

Yes, but their formulas contain minoxidil. So when you stop minoxidil there can be shedding. I’ve reached out to them to ask if I can get a cocktail with retinoic acid, prostaglandin and the weak steroid (that’s to mitigate irritation from the retinoic acid). Otherwise their formulas aren’t for me personally because of the minoxidil. So we’ll see. But back to your question- let’s say they remove the minoxidil- if we used that formula and then stopped our hair would just go back to growing slowly (or at the rate it did before we used the serum). I sure hope that helps!
