Yup that's the one. Adenosine improved the hair quicker and the user score for people who thought it made it worse was vastly different, which I attributed to quicker MoA and less initial shedding.What studies?
This is the only one I'm aware of comparing adenosine to minoxidil head to head, and the difference in user score is attributed to adenosine working faster than minoxidil.
I am new here but I've read some of the older microneedling threads. I think with microneedling you have to give it at least 9 months before thinking its a bust.Months later and only discussion of topicals and nobody sharing (at least anecdotal) results... I think this one is a bust. I’m not sure if it’s because our pens aren’t comparable to the follicas device, or they just used the best results from the best responder; but I sure as hell haven’t seen a 40% increase in hair count. Minor improvement in hairline, decrease in overall density (and tons of flakiness) leads me to believe this isn’t gonna work. I think I’ll go back to 1.5mm at this point.
In the Indian study, they showed that microneedling still provided positive effects, even on its own. 2013Are you balding? If the answer is yes, then Fina & minoxidil are pretty much a given. Wounding is one more weapon in your arsenal, it can not be the only one.
I believe that in the 2013 study minoxidil was used.In the Indian study, they showed that microneedling still provided positive effects, even on its own. 2013
Yeah I was about to quit dutasteride and switch back to finasteride even though there is positive improvement in the front. I posted on the microneedling thread and a poster there recommended that I stick it out for a total of two years. Crown is going through a shed or just finished a shed because the front has already started giving results.
I think we get impatient after looking at amazing 3 month, 6 month and even a year results and yet the moderator of reddit tressless had result very late and then kept improving even at the 10 year mark. A few other posters said they showed great improvement after 2 years!
I decided to stick it out for one year and three months.
Yes, but you won't find any definitive before/after photos in the thread (+ a lot of people here also use all sorts of other things). It's also hard to gauge how effective this is compared to the previous forum "standard" of 1.5mm weekly.Hello guys,
Sorry if this is a frequent question but there is 47 pages here and I've already read 10 of it. Is there any success stories by guys who strictly followed the follica protocol here?
Thanks
I'm on this protocol but I add sandalore with minoxidil, it's two months now and I already see a good result alot of thin and thick hair is growing even in the area that was totally bald I want to give it t least 4-6 month I was on minoxidil and fina I didn't see a fast and thick regrowth like this protocol.Hello guys,

It always takes 25-30 minutes to do my entire head. I do horizontal, vertical, diagonal, criss-cross passes.Hey guys. I want to try mimicking Follica with a Derminator. I intend to use 1mm, however I'm not clear on the speed I should be moving. I think I read someone say 2cm per second, however that doesn't seem particularly and can't see the procedure taking 30mins as other people have described at that speed. Should I just go at a pace that gets me to 30mins after two passes? Thanks
I am doing 1mm every two weeks and have had good results with my regimen - but I’m using/doing lots of other stuff as well.Also - I am quite torn between doing to Follica 1mm method and the more usual 1.5mm - 2mm which lots of people have had results with.
Has anyone on this thread had good results with 1mm?
Hello can i know what LLLT means? THANK YOUI am doing 1mm every two weeks and have had good results with my regimen - but I’m using/doing lots of other stuff as well.
I don’t think 2mm is very usual.

If you're trying to mimic the Follica protocol (1600 holes/square cm), then using the Derminator would take 20-30mins, whereas the Dr Pens only take 5 minutes.What device should i buy?
1.Derminator
2.dr pen a7
3.dr pen a6.
