Doesn't matter, dermarolling doesn't work anyway. There's zero evidence from the results of rolling on this or any other forum. With the volume of people having tried this and the amount of time since the fad began (over 6 months) you'd expect that there would be at least some positive accounts with photos if the original study was halfway believable.

Same company. ARI was the research arm of Aderans. But Aderans' board decided to cut ARI's funding, presumably because the results weren't good enough to be commercially viable as a treatment.
ARI are apparently trying to find alternative sources of funding but nobody seems to be too optimistic about that happening.Comment

Quit misguiding people. Dermarolling may very well work for some people if you do it correctly and have patience. There's been plenty of proof of that. Look at PrettyFly83 posts on this board. The results are so obvious. Just because it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean that it doesn't work at all.
If anyone is misguiding people, it's the ones who claim it does work, because there's no evidence other than "it works because I say so". Even prettyfly has disappeared.Comment

i agree. i started rolling in august and although there looked to be positive signs around the 7th week nothing has changed since. if it worked like the study we'd definitely have a lot of people posting results. tons of guys are getting more vellus hairs so it may be something that takes just as long to regrow as it did to fall out. but i have to say i'm incredibly disappointed at what i've seen from this treatment.Comment

It's posts like this that made Squeegee on *** go berserk on the 'naysayers'. Dermarolling didn't do much for me either; my hair is still thin and hairline still decimated.Comment

Science doesn't work on good vibes, thing either work or not, and if they work, they can be replicated
People need to face reality, there are basically two options at the moment:
1. The study was wrong. A possibility since someone claimed the researchers were offering on their clinic. Huge conflict of interest, combined with the photos
2. We are doing something wrong. Another possibility, since the study was somewhat vague from the start.
That's your choice man. You already have 6 months of experiences to base your decision.
If you decide to use, please take pics once in while in case you see somethingComment

If it didn't work for you, I'm just curious...
1. How long did you do it?
2. Did you use betadine?
3. Did you use a numbing cream?
4. Did you wait 24 hours to apply Minox?
5. Are you taking MSM?
...the reason I ask #5 is it seems a few of the people who had success were taking MSM also.Comment

2. Yes
3. No
4. Yes
5. No, but been on fin for almost 4 years.
If people took MSM then it complicates things, considering some people report growth with it aloneComment

2. No; you can't buy that here in the UK.
3. No.
4. Yes.
5. Yes, with zinc and vitamin C. However, MSM has never made my hair grow faster whenever I've used it.
Used Finasteride for years, FWIW.Comment

*** just locked all their dermarolling threads and will delete any further threads created about the topic. Not good. I'll be first to admit that I don't think dermarolling works as well as the study claims, perhaps not at all, but we all pulled together and gave it a go, whether here or on other forums. Seeing the ability to carry out community teamwork in future jeopardised is not a good thing.Comment
