    I Have Just Got Some 2% Keto Cream To Try

    I want to bring back an old thread. For the past 6 weeks I've been testing keto cream on my temple points only. I've used minoxidil there for over 20 years with no effect (but good results on top of my head). Lately, I apply the liquid minoxidil and then apply the keto cream before it totally dries...

    Discovered new low pain way to dermaroll

    I have a dermapen but a dermastamp is much easier for me. I use a 1.5 mm and, like clarence-forgottenpassword indicated, I do a quick light press to get the scalp used to it and then quickly stamp away. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes, with just the right amount of bleeding, and very little...

    I am doing nearly the same method but I do stamp until I get more bleeding. Not copious amounts that will drip but slightly more than pinpricks. Light bleeding all over. I then shampoo a second time and all blood is gone and the scalp only just looks slightly red. There are some small scabs...

    Mine is not electric. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Derma-Micro-...item27d4cf2ce9 I'm in the US and ordered from them (make sure you scroll down). I meant to order the larger one but got the small pen one by mistake. I kept it and use it (1.5 mm). I do each press very quickly and move throughout...

    Congrats on your success but eventually a 2 hour rolling session is going to become a chore and one you may easily avoid. I like to make my routines quick yet effective - like taking a shower. I would highly recommend a dermastamp or dermapen. I use the latter and can easily do a full session...

    I've read taking soy isoflavons and cayenne pepper may reduce hair loss but I've also read that soy can mess with the amount of estrogen in men. There is a medical publication about a guy who got massive man boobs from taking too much soy. I bought some a few months ago but not sure if it's...

    I use this method http://advinfoprod.com/hair_formulas_17.htm You could also simply add it to minoxidil (go back to his home page) but I like to use it separately. I use it right after I get out of the shower to a damp scalp and then apply minoxidil a few minutes later. AA does seem to coat the hair...

    It's hard to put a number on the amount of bleeding. Definitely not a 10 with copious amounts of blood like I've seen in a few other posts: I just don't think that's necessary. I do it until there is light bleeding all over. Not just tiny dots but not large drops that run off my scalp...

    For me, minoxidil was the first thing that worked a bit but that's because there was nothing else at the time; I have never stopped using it. I used proxiphen for a few years but too expensive for minimal results. finasteride definitely works for me but it did start to lose it's effectiveness but I still...

    I started Cet once a day about a month ago along the other things in my regimen. Like Casperz a few years ago, I want to try everything I can to grow hair and I am cautiously optimistic about the results I'm seeing - and a bit excited. I can't be sure if the Cet is helping or if it is a...

    I believe most improvements to hairloss begin with the thickening of fine hairs and could take several hair cycles as each new hair grows hopefully thicker and longer - like a baby's hair as he becomes a toddler. I don't expect existing fine hairs to suddenly become thicker, and to grow hair on...

    I agree. I've reduced my rolling to once every 10 days instead of once a week. I rolled last Wed. and I'm still flaking big chunks today so I feel the scalp is still healing. No need to wound again so soon, IMO.

    I have longer hair and find the 1.5 mm derma pen better for me. I get too much hair caught in the roller and can do an effective and quick job with the pen. I get thorough light bleeding throughout the entire treament area in a matter of moments. Maybe the roller is good for those with short...

    I really recommend the dermastamp for reduced pain - you may not need any numbing cream. I bought the small pen sized one by mistake (1.5 mm). I wanted the larger one but this works well. It stings but you move so quickly to the next spot that I find it more convenient, less painful, and...
