Hey guys. I'm thinking about riding with the derma roll craze. Hope it isn't just a fad. lol
So peeps are saying that it is effective with minoxidil but I didn't like minoxidil is messy and makes my skin look aged.

Are there any alternatives to Minoxidil that I can use in conjunction with the once a week derma roll sessions I am planning on doing?

Thanks!

Oh, and I'm in Japan. So any sources where I can get things shipped here for cheap would be super nice.

Can you get Medicated Mohkatsurin PB? It's from Japan....
I don't use minoxidil but I'm sure someone can suggest a minoxidil product that isn't messy etc.

I know this is a bit off topic..but I'd be curious to know if you've used or seen anything in Japan that may be worth trying..maybe something not out yet....?

In one of princessrambo's posts he was suggesting people who aren't using minoxidil to crush some b12 pills in water for a topical. Go through his posts, it was within the last few days.

B12 as in just vitamin b-12? Okay i'll look at his posts.

Haven't tried looking very deep but nothing that caught my attention at the drug stores. Can't even find Mohkatsurin PB. I wonder if inhouse ships to Japan. Worst case scenario I'll just buy a bottle of Cipla minoxidil from them to get me started on derma rolling.

I can't do semen. Barely have any left when I ejaculate because of finasteride. lol

Almost as funny as that...I'm still seriously considering Osmotic's FNS again with this dermarolling....

Copper peptides followed by emu oil...both are great for inflammation and wound healing

Thanks for the info. There seems to a popular consensus going on in the dermarolling thread that we should avoid speeding up the wound healing and inflammation. But who knows for sure at this moment.

There are two types of inflammation, acute and chronic... we know we don't need chronic inflammation... but we still don't know if messing with the acute inflammaton during the first days after rolling may be a bad idea...
