Dermarolling Community Trial

[HelloVera]

Hey 79birdofprey. I'm only using essential oils when i shampoo every 2 days. The castile soap i use has peppermint, olive oil extract, coconut oil and jojoba oil and i add 5 drops of rosemary, lavender and teatree into the bottle of soap. Only started using the Castile shampoo because keto shampoo makes my hair shred like crazy with no benefits.

Hey Vic have you tried Dr Bronner's peppermint soap? been using it for a couple weeks now, i add rosemary, teatree and lavender into it. Haven't noticed much on the frontal front but the temples just above my eyelashes to about 2 inch up has been sprouting darker vellous hair about 2cm long with more getting darker and growing each time, my crown seems thicker and got darker vellous hair growing at my nape, which is the only place i don't dermaroll. I roll 5mm every 3 days and 1.5cm every 10 days.

Nice! I haven't heard of it but going to give it a try. Thanks!

Return to baseline? Doesn't look that way

3 Year Update, ~6 months since last progress pics

Thought I post an update as I'm still getting gains from this treatment:

First pic: ~1 year into treatment
Second Pic: ~2.5 years on treatment
Third pic: ~ 3 years on treatment (6 months since last pic)

You can see the time and date stamps in the picture headings

One thing I added in the last 3 months is a Betadine based shampoo which I use prior to rolling which is about once every 1.5-2 weeks.

Ive had some new regrowth on my temple which was slick for the last 8 years and some of the hairs are clearly turning terminal. Wondering if the Betadine shampoo has been responsible for this latest regrowth....?

Are you adding essential oils? How much of each?

Thanks for the update Fly, great progress. I haven't rolled for months now but still use Rogaine. I haven't seen improvement since I stopped rolling. Really need to start again.
When I did roll, I used a Betadine solution right before rolling each and every time.

I have used minoxidil and I went from what he had to a more than decent head of hair too.

So I think I have some experience about this. These are rare stellar minoxidil results but they do happen.

Don't get your hopes up. PrettyFly will return to baseline in a year or so.

As if dermarolling would work on only 1 person out of thousands who tried it. Have some common sense here.

Is there a general census with rolling? A lot to read through here...

Bloody hell I have not heard of sulcralfate for many years that's a really old hairloss product that did nothing holy moly.
I Tried it its a gastric product made from fructose a suger when I used it it was powder that was a bit sticky on the scalp and did not do anything.

Not sure of your age but back in the mid late 70's "Bio-Genesis Original Helsinki Formula System" was the smoke & mirrors miracle cure > > > that did nothing.

[doke]

Where do you buy sucralfate?I know that it can't penetrate the skin because it has a molecular weight for about 1000.And for something to penetrate the skin,it has to be max 500

james have you seen actual regrowt with the derma rolling?

i feel like theres so many ppl talking about rolling, but not reporting on any regroth? what have your results been so far

I just started a couple weeks ago... it definitely makes my scalp feel great the next day, that's about it so far

why can't it be used for both? I think the wound healing aspect is key, that's why a 1.5mm is critical... but, with applying RU and high concentration minox with AA and hydrocortisone, I think some people may get great benefits, no?
