It appears as if they received a cease and desist letter. They're in Canada, so it wasn't the FDA.
Does anyone happen to have insight to on this? I'd love to buy their products, but first I need to know if they're a vendor I can rely on or if I should look elsewhere.
As the poster above said, anything that is effective will historically induce a shed, but the majority of needlers here have not reported shedding before achieving growth. Like you, I'm waiting for someone to report that, because I was shedding between 75 and 150 hairs a day for a couple of...

I've experienced sheds before, but not like this. I've lost a norwood so far, which would only happen if I stopped using RU.
Let me know what you think about the A7. I continue to use it based on its quality and speed, but the wire is a pain. I need to determine what I'd be compromising if I replace it with a wireless pen.
Only the effective treatments induce a shedding phase. I consider it a positive indicator. After starting an effective treatment, your follicles will undergo a change, which leaves them unable to support the current hair strand, so it must start over.
Last week I was counting up to ~150 a day...
I'm 41 and I've tried many treatments -- some marginally effective, most cost prohibitive -- and I've learned that the effective ones consistently induce a shedding phase during the first two months.
The fact that I've gone through a significant shed within the first 7 weeks of needling tells...
One of the shampoos I use is Paul Mitchell with tea tree. I get the Lemon Sage thickener.

Can't use it daily, or it will dry out your scalp.
