Once a week to every ten days is the routine for microneedling. You just have to hold the pen against the skin and the instrument will take care of the depth as it cycles. The use of a Dr. Pen microneedling device at a depth of 1.5mm can produce considerable bleeding. You should probably reduce the needle depth to 1mm so that the bleeding will not be so great. There is another problem I see here, and that is the area you covered is the same area as your original juvenile hairline. The juvenile hairs in that old hairline are unlikely to come back. The area where you have receded, will more likely come back which reflects the transition to a mature hairline possibly with recession. That is within the area outlined by the blood. I would like to see a mature hairline drawn on your head and then see you microneedle that area.

I am a 21 year old Male who up until a few months ago had no problem with balding. I was getting my hair cut relativly short and my hair dresser noticied I had a bald spot on the back of me head about the size of a quarter. I kinda ignored it figuring it would grow back but it has been about 5 months now and my hair is longer but the bald spot is balder then bald and seems to be getting bigger according to other people (as I cannot see the back of my head). I was just wondering what the cause for this is and if it can be anything serious or just stress related possibly? Thank You very much.

Send me a photo of the spot you’re talking about so I can see what you’re referring to. At 21, you are relatively young for crown balding. I have some important questions for you:

1. Is the spot in the center of the head where the swirl is located or is it off to the side?
2. Is there still some hair present in this bald spot?
3. Is there any balding or thinning any place else on your head?
4. Do you have a family history of balding in the crown (back) of your head and if so, at what age did it happen?

A good doctor may be able to diagnose a possible cause, such as ringworm, alopecia areata, etc. There is not substitute to a good doctor’s examination for you. If this is genetic balding, you would want to get your hair mapped out for miniaturization as well as getting a HAIRCHECK test (https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/) as genetic hair loss has patterns of thinning which appear before developing a bald spot. The HAIRCHECK test will tell us if you have any balding elsewhere that you can’t see.

Miniaturized hairs are thinner than normal hairs. They slow down or stop growing, making them shorter near the end of their life.

Amazing results are hard to believe. Hair grows at 1/2 inch/month so to get these results, you would have had to start growing all of the lost hair immediately after going on these medications.

I know this is going to sound weird, but my hairloss really started only 1 or 2 weeks after I began obsessively taking pictures of my temples, crown, etc and becoming anxious over it. Back then I seriously panicked thinking I had MPB as a teen, leading me to this sub. In retrospect, it looked perfectly fine. It then suddenly became much thinner, and since then my hairline, primarily the temples, has been steadily receding and my hair turned thinner, like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

MPB is certainly genetic, but what factors (like stress) could trigger it to start occurring earlier?

Some men practice denial, and one day they look and there it is! Are you really balding? See a good doctor and find out.
