Has anyone had any experience with a derma roller for their hair loss, i have read some use it with Minoxidil and have had some success......but to me this whole process of constantly puncturing the skin sounds a little brutal to me.

This is the study people reference about dermarolling. Check out the picture here

Top guy got that result from dermarolling (or any medical therapy for AgA) in 12 weeks? I don't know about that...

That picture is incredible if its geniune dude...he really got some good growth from microneedling. Interestig article thankyou for posting the link Ziggs.

Still sounds a little horrific to me but if the pictures are anything to go by it must work well for some people.Z:B

Wouldn't this potentially damage grafts though?

Yeah I really don't buy that picture. Not only did he grow all that new hair, but in 12 weeks, it grew at least 2-3" and looks like fully mature and thick hair you usually don't see for at least 9 months with an HT.

And if that's BS then what else is crap in that study?

My wife used something called a Derma Roller on her stretch marks and it helped a bit, is this the same device as the one for your head.
