[avi21]

Hey Avi,

Hair is looking real good!!! You can see the improvment from your old pics which i've just found on one of your old threads,

I remember chatting with you about the derma roller a while back, but I can't find the thread in your old posts, but did find the above photos.

I purchased a derma roller about three weeks ago, do you mind telling me again about how you use it, where, how many times a week, and how long the needles are etc...?

Thanks

thanks mate, it's hard to compare because hair is not in the same length in the above pictures.
after i post those pictures i bought a derma roller 0.5mm i use it every night i roll it all over the head speacilly on hairline for 5 minutes and then apply 5% kirkland minoxidil. i think minoxidil is nothing without the roller "i swear by it" this is my secret weapon and i want to share it with you.

Impressive! I'd say you're a Norwood 1.5. I might have to try one of those rollers.

 

[avi21]

Norwood 1.5?! wow.. thanks

i would say a clasic Norwood 2.

try the roller i'm sure you will thank me later.
i recommand all of you to try
it's very cheap from ebay

Nice. I will get one. Im just wondering which one to get, since they all have different measurements in mm.

I guess this one says its for hair loss:

Hello!

I am real newbie here and I am using minoxidil and spironolactone for 3 months. I am not so happy with a current result but I hope that some changes will appear. Okay some hair appear nearby my hairline and some really thin and smal on my temples. I hope that they will grow and become stronger. Okay back to your story and pics. You have really strong and healty hair especially when I compare it with your older pics... Congrat! I hope that this is not silly question your hairline and haircut looks really cool... how do you explain the hair dresser that they make a haircut like you have? Is it buzzed or what? I really like the lines...and yea I will try also the roller...does anybody have experience with some special mark of roller or is just okay to buy "one" from ebay?

Best

A.

OK well I ordered some roller. I also wanna try it out on my face so I ordered a .3mm one.

Just curious avi...I was reading that needling and minoxidil can be dangerous, have you experienced any sides? I think that with .5mm it should be ok because it does not pierce too low.

Any thoughts?

Whats a roller? Would someone care to explain?

How do you clean the dermroller?

Do you have to clean it after every use?

 

[avi21]

I didn't notice any side effect from the roller

and to tell you the truth i can't remember the last time i cleaned it.

but it's recommended to clean it at leats once a week in boiling water or vodka

Just got my derma roller from that dude you got yours from on ebay. But I got no instructions with mine at all. How did you find out how to clean it?
