I wasn't going to post any updates but I feel I owe it to this thread Slightly different light but both pics are in light with the flash on, picture quality not great either 11 weeks in needling 2mm every 7-10 days, pressing firm until slight blood, minoxidil straight after and minoxidil morning and night everyday, sandalor whenever i remember in vanicream and scalp massages whenever I remember Edit - I used minoxidil on and off for years with no results beforw needling This is defitely helping me and my hair is getting stronger and thicker everyday
Yes I post on that thread and I still don’t understand why people say ‘add .. drops’. Isn’t is easier just to measure 1ml in a syringe?
@Longway886 - You know ... I was figuring you might surface soon. "Where'd he go?" I thought today.... and here you are! With more hair! I was enthused with your progress that you shared earlier in the thread. Thanks for tuning back in with more results!
ikr its written affiliate link when you put your mouse over it, you make a point, everyone can sell on amazon.
I use the dropper on my head in rows then spread it around with the dropper. If I'm not satisfied with the spread of it, I will use my fingers to rub it in more.
Well i got my derminator in the mail today after a month, but im not sure if i want to switch at this point from the dermaroller because im seeing gains, even though the dermaroller hurts so much
@rizaster - You could always use both. Rotate the use of them. I think layabout is doing that. Also numberman was using his roller alongside his pen still. You bought the Derminator for a reason after all - so put it to use!
Seriously never thought I'd be on the receiving end of the "So and so is a scammer" rhetoric that gets thrown around here. I'm 20 and have nowhere near the wherewithal to operate an Amazon store right now. If you check my post history you can see that's true, and that I am a hair loss sufferer as evidenced by the couple pictures I've posted, or you could ask the other young sufferers I've advised. This openly skeptical nature we share is fine and healthy, however when we direct it at each other it breaks down the will of those who want to contribute and help others.
It seems as though dermarolling has help alot of people. However I'm here to warn to not mix Dermaroller with anything untested. Especially RU or CB03 or even minoxidil. Becasue it could have huge impact on your body. Since I started Derm Rolling in Dec, I had AWESOME result. My hairs stop falling off and seem like a lot less hair in showers, on the pillow. Or simply every morning when styling my hair. However I decided to start using RU in conjuctions and since then I had 3x Eyes infections. Two to my Left and now the 3rd on my right. I have never had this happen to me my entire life and is the first Time I have ever seen this. The doctor told me he have no idea what RU is and certianly to never touch it again. The first time it happend the condition was much worst, however yesterday was much less impact. However I have also stop rolling for last 4 weeks as I got really scared. All I can say is be very careful when doing home therapy such as this.
Think about it, your hair cant grow thicker while its there. It needs to shed, each time gets pushed out by another hair, the hair new hair is thicker. In the almost two months ive started rolling, im about to enter my 3rd shed cycle. Each time the shedding ends, ive noticed my hair thicker than baseline. Before rolling, my shedding cycle would last for about 3 months, and then a decrease in shedding for about 2 weeks before starting up again in terms of shedding. Aftter each cycle, my hair would looks worse. It is simply now working in reverse. That being said, i do now question the theory of fibrosis build up and blood vessel loss , resulting in hair loss. Two reasons for this. 1) the ones responding, are seeing results within 2-3 months, i dont think thats enough time to break down fibrosis and create blood vessels to regrow hair. 2) the fibrosis theory doesnt really explain varying patterns of hairloss and speeds of hairloss, which can vary even within a person. Warning: broscience ahead. Another theory for male pattern baldness is that it is an autoimmune disease. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that results in patch hairloss. Perhaps male pattern baldness is just another form of this. Thats possibly where needling comes into play, it resets the computer. This is basically how autoimmune diseases are treated, medicine supresses the immune system, symptoms subside and often times if the symptoms are dormant for a long enough time, you can get off the medicine because the immmune system resets and reprograms itself not to attack healthy cells. Needling could be creating a similar reaction here.
Been on and off for years with no reaults at all before needling, i've updated my post with this info
