Alright, thanks for the feedback guys. Have any of you ordered your zinc sulfate capsules via iherb.com? I've been searching for such a supplement but couldn't find one. I ordered zinc sulfate heptahydrate in Europe but now it can't get delivered...

Can anyone from Europe recommend where to get good zinc sulfate heptahydrate? Also, I just read that this substance is actually quite toxic: https://www.jostchemical.com/documentation/SDS/Zinc%20Sulfate%20Heptahydrate%20(7664-20-0).pdf Doesn't really sound like something you'd want to rub on...

I just read most of this really interesting thread. Thanks a lot @worm for starting this thread and sharing your experience. I now consider starting zix myself and have already ordered the ingredients. My current regimen consists of weekly 1.5 mm dermarolling and daily scalp massage 10-20 min...

@Drextez that sounds great man! Looking forward to seeing your update.

That's interesting. I also only have to do the frontal area and have been considering switching to a pen. What depth are you rolling with and are you seeing progress?

I must have misunderstood you then, sorry. Thanks for the clarification and thanks again for taking the time to do this comparison.

I've got a question to all of you who've been using a dermapen for a while. Do you experience the micro tearing issue? If so, is it permanent? @LowHairLine Thank you very much for your thorough comparison between the Ultima A6 and the Derminator 2. Originally, I wanted to get the Derminator 2...

Do you consume pumpkin seed oil and and turmeric in the form of capsules or food items?

An update to my micro needling progress: Last year I used a 1.5 dermaroller for about 3.5 months. I stopped using it in early January because it was getting worn-out. I also applied a mixture of rosemary oil and pumpkin seed oil, but not regularly. All in all, I had no visible progress. Since...

I can relate to this. I generally eat an anti-inflammatory diet, eat a lot of pumpkin seeds and flax seeds every morning and frequently use turmeric and black pepper. I've been doing intense scalp massages for two years (albeit infrequently lately). My hair loss has halted and I haven't had any...

Quick status update: I've now been using a 1.5 mm dermaroller for about 3.5 months. Initially I needled every week but recently switched to every 10 days. I also use rosemary oil and around 10 min head massage daily. I only use the roller on my frontal region. There hasn't been much progress...

Yeah, probably. Fair point. Since I'm currently only using a derma roller on my frontal scalp region, I could imagine swapping it for a stamp. Whole head is another story though.

@Bill_Russo The guys who make the Derminator also sell derma stamps. :) https://owndoc.shop/Dermaneedling/Dermastamps/2%20mm%20SMALL%20DERMASTAMP%20(12%20needles)/

I think we really need a FAQ section. Frequency/needle depth/needle count/minoxidil yes or no/reusing cartridges etc. Would someone with the required expertise and time be willing to do it?

Taken from the derminator website: Cartridges should ideally NOT be reused but can be reused on only the SAME patient after disinfection with Ethanol or Chloramine-T according to our instructions. Do not use Dettol - it contains Chloroxylenol, which can dislodge the needles. Disinfection...
