Guys, we have a wealth of information in here by now, but over time it becomes difficult to track, to really get the "big picture", and to keep track of the developments of the various individuals trying this.
What do you think about some kind of survey in a separate dermarolling survey thread, where each member can update/edit their survey post when they feel there's relevant new info (e.g. once a month)? That way, we could have everyone's results in one place in an ordered fashion and could keep the discussion here in this thread.
What do you think?
I suggest the following to start; please add more (useful) fields you can think of. If many members agree, we could start a result/survey thread:
Nickname:
Age:
Hairloss started at:
Current Norwood:
Treatment history:
- [treatment1] since [month/year] until [month/year]
- [treatment2] since [month/year] until [month/year]
- and so on
Needling since: [specify date or month/year]
Needling until: ["still needling"; otherwise specify date or month/year in case you stopped]
Needling frequency (average): [daily/weekly/biweekly etc.]
Needling, total number of sessions:
Needling device: [roller/stamp/pen and brand]
Needling depth/needle length: [specify mm]

Needling side effects: [please specify, e.g. redness for X days, flaking after Y days, etc.]

We could also start a Google Docs Survey to have a nice table afterwards.
