I was strongly considering a hair transplant until I learned if you are defuse on crown even with a stable donor area there is a good chance of major shock loss (especially for women)-- if I am incorrect then please comment.

I was considering Dermar rolling just in my barest of spots front part line and also kind of psyched for the future about Follica http://www.follicabio.com

But will Follica and wounding have the same potential for major shock loss as hair transplants?

Any studies on this or personal experience?

Not in my experience.

Also the Indian study didn't seem to show any such thing. They had regrowth at 6 weeks.

I am seriously considering Derma stamping...is your hair loss defuse or localized? This is the difference in hair transplant that are shock loss from what I gather the defuse (which most women are on crown) the Hair Transplant surgery triggers major shock loss.

My loss is diffuse. I think a hair transplant procedure is more taxing to the system than ten minutes of dermarolling.

I am just unhappy with the front center part line==this is where i had hair loss the longest...thinking of just doing that spot.

I would wait a few months for Brotzu. I would be very pissed if I get a hair transplantation right now to see the "excellent Androgenetic Alopecia results" from fidia in like 4 or 5 months. You cannot compare the turkish fikrettin clown with Brotzu (especially for those of you who say: You cannot trust in this man). I hope that he is telling us the truth.

For me hair transplant is off table I am just debating derma rolling.
hair transplant is too high risk for me..stable thick donor area but I have not come across any woman who had successful ones.

That's what people were saying over a year ago. Brotzu's lotion may never be released, and if it is, it's not going to be a miracle. Admittedly I'm not well informed on it, but it seems to me that what is happening is the lotion works, but is not feasible in its working form. They are trying unsuccessfully to find some modification of the formula that makes it economically viable. That's my assessment of the situation.

I don't see any reason not to start dermarolling right now. Just don't go crazy with it to the point that you're just covering your scalp with scar tissue.

No one knows much about what Follica will/won't do other than those working on the treatment - anyone that tells you otherwise is speculating. I personally wouldn't hold off on treatments for it, considering it hasn't even entered pivotal trials yet. However, of the pipeline treatments, it does look like the most promising potential treatment coming to the US.

There is nothing, as far as I am aware, on any study ever done on wounding and hairloss or successful dermarolling to indicate it could cause shock loss.

I'm going to try the dermarolling thing myself. If it doesn't work for me, I don't really lose anything.

If it does go well, and I see any results like that Indian study or what some people have managed to get — the curse is lifted.

what is "shock loss"? it's a cushy term thrown around by quack hair transplant surgeons. There is Telogen Effluvium. No, there is no way light dermarolling with a .5 - 1.5 mm needle will cause Telogen Effluvium. The term "shock loss" should be banned from reputable hair loss forums.

Thats how I feel there is one spot in front I want to try it on that bothers me...I just did not want to make it 'worse'.

I think I am going to try it just need to read up a bit more on frequency etc.

Here's another vote that dermarolling will probably not cause any real shock loss.

At worst it might be capable of causing a shock cycling. That would be a 100% temporary thing if it did happen. A few months later it would all start coming back.

What is your Ludwig pattern? Can you post a google photo of some example that looks similar to your situation?
