would a glycolic acid peel achieve the same thing as dermarolling/dermastamping



It damages the scalp

it causes the skin to repair itself

it releases healing factors like dermarolling does

removes the dead skin, increases circulation to the area

Thoughts on this?
Probably doesn't reach the stem cells?

This random post from 2008 explains baldness perfectly and why damaging the collagen probably works

"its downstream of TGF-beta. The dermal sheath in Androgenetic Alopecia is 2 to 2.5 times thicker with crosslinked collagen, making it hard for the follicle to enlarge. Streamers of collagen appear underneath the follicle over time. It looks just like organ rejection microscopially. TGF-beta plays a similar role in other autoimmune disorders.

What is the body reacting to? The first inflammation seen in Androgenetic Alopecia is in the upper infradfulindulum where hyperkeratinization is usually taking place. There are 5AR type one there and androgen receptors there. I see two possibilities: either DKK_1 downstream of the papilla is killing keratinocytes or hyperkeratinization from too much androgen stimulation is killing the keratinocytes and the dead keratinocyte cells still in the hair shaft that have not grown all the way out of the body are eliciting the immunological response. The inflammaition in Androgenetic Alopecia is in the upper one third of the follicle, not down in the papilla where you think it would be. Inflammation, as Harold pointed out, is like a bomb going off in the body. Tissues next to the effected tissue get hurt also. This is my opinion of course, but cannot figure out any other reason why the damge in androgenic alopeica is a "low" process. Classic autoimmune disorders see the effected tissue destroyed pretty damned fast (just a few years at most), not over a decade or two like men slowly balding with too much collagen secreted all around the organ as happens. Docj077 thought TGF beta was the primary culprit in baldness------I wish he still posted, he was bright."

Dragging this baby back from the dead with some results.

Click on my page to see previous posts for reference of my progress thru the years with microneedling. My successes and failures to stick with the routine.

So back at microneedling for at least 18 months now.

Collage photos with old on top and today on bottom.

Tried to get the angles just right, but damn near impossible. Also lighting just would not replicate despite all best efforts. Yeah camera in phone is crap, oh well.

Note: Also in old pics, hair is being held back by hand. New, held back by headband. So excuse the possible discrepancy in hair direction.

Edit: deleted one duplicate set of photos. Added one extra set taken at different angle.

For the lazy amongst us, can you TLDR if it's working and what your regime is? I never stick to a routine with it either and I'm also unsure how deep to go and regimen also.
