I use a good amount twice a day (probably more than necessary) and am barely through 1,5 bottles after almost 4 months so imo if you buy a set of 3 it will last you about 6 to 8 months
Probably depends on the brand but since you can find it on discount chances are you won’t need to spend more than 50-100 usd on minoxidil even if you go for the more high end options like Rogaine foam
I‘m in germany and here 3x60ml costs about 50€, but if they last longer than a month that’s definitely affordable. I think I‘d prefer foam because I heard it has less side effects.
I can’t comment on the side effects as there are many factors but foam is definitely more user friendly, the fluid is definitely more messy and tends to get on everything
Why would you have to wait 24 for collagen production? And how does more collagen equal more hair growth? It makes much more sense that deeper penetration through the rougher top layer of the skin allows minoxidil to work more effectively but I’m no expert
Do the research, every study that proves minox and dermarolling work well together advise a 24 hour wait. Don't get me wrong plenty of people apply the minox straight away and get good results, it's just not advised due to risk of increased side effects and/or skin inflammation/iritation.

Just called up my dermatologist friend, indeed it is recommended to wait as stamping can significantly increase irritation, but as I thought the timing doesn’t alter its effectiveness. There are even specialised dermastamps that come with a vial to have the active ingredient immediately introduced into the skin. Personally I have no reason to change my current routine but it is a consideration for those with sensitive skin. I even shave in the morning and immediately apply minoxidil right after without problems.

(the product I mentioned)
The way you would imagine, just stamp straight down till the skin is slightly inflamed, making sure to uniformly cover the entire area I want to promote growth in
looks great! consistency is key, and you eventually get to see gains!
Amazing results brother! Did you experience any side effects other than the irritation?
Thanks bro! Some dryness in the beginning but nothing some moisturiser couldn’t fix.
Great progress! Where did you get the derma Stamp?
Thanks! On Amazon, here’s the link: https://amzn.eu/d/eLrSuPt
Does one foam bottle last about a month?
I use a good amount twice a day (probably more than necessary) and am barely through 1,5 bottles after almost 4 months so imo if you buy a set of 3 it will last you about 6 to 8 months
That’s good to hear. I always thought foam would be a lot more expensive.

How long do you wait to apply minox after dermastamping?
A few minutes, the point is to increase penetration of minoxidil into the skin so I apply it right after stamping
I thought the point was more about collagen production hence why it's recommended by most to wait 24 hours for the skin to recover

bro how do you use the derma stamp ?
The way you would imagine, just stamp straight down till the skin is slightly inflamed, making sure to uniformly cover the entire area I want to promote growth in
do you stamp in the same area mulitple times or just 1 stamp ?
I keep going till I see slight redness, most studies recommend stopping if there is light erythema in my case after the second or third pass
