The user feels discouraged after three months of microneedling with no visible hair regrowth, despite using 5% topical minoxidil and 200mg of spironolactone. Others suggest waiting 12 months for results, checking vitamin D levels, and considering tretinoin or tazarotene cream instead of microneedling.
Using retinol with minoxidil may not be as effective as tretinoin, but retinaldehyde or adapalene could be alternatives. A micro-roller with minoxidil is suggested for better results.
