Dermarolling Community Trial

[hellouser]

Can every member in this thread using scalp roller tell me how many times is he using it a week and for how long per each session? Lets start with Hellouser

I've only rolled once so far, I only got my roller a week ago.

I did it for about 10+ minutes, mainly took that long because I'm a bitch. It hurt a lot. I'd suggest giving at least several rolls across every area on your balding areas. I didnt press to hard either, today I'm going to be harsher on the scalp. Am hoping that this can fill in my temples even a little bit.

got my Derma Roller today

I just got my two derma rollers today. Holly crap did that hurt, it seems that you first need to do it slowly and then somehow it's not so painful. I guess because of the trauma your brain releases some natural painkillers. I tried to use it on my face and well it's so too damn painful there, a .5 mm should be used on the face, but I will be using the 1.5mm on the head.

After doing much research I think I will be trying my own way, I know the experiment said it did it one way, but that doesn't mean theirs is the best way to go. I will also be reporting after 4 months, there is no need to report every freaking week, I will just takes pics every week and put my results here.

I just did my second session of dermarolling today... holy crap, its painful and STINGS a lot after. Much like you guys, I too had an odd sensation; watery eyes mostly. My entire scalp is quite red though, more bleeding than last time but not so much as to look like I just went through war (just a bunch of red dots). I pressed harder on the dermaroller this time making sure I was piercing/wounding skin. Fact is, 1.5mm is all you're going to penetrate with a 1.5mm dermaroller. You might as well press hard to make sure youre getting THAT exact amount. If I don't see results in terminal hairs coming in, I may opt for a 2mm dermaroller.

I was thinking of testing the dermaroller wounding method on a completely bald patch of skin in one of my temples but with the addition of a PGD2 blocker, perhaps cetirizine. I'm curious to see what kind of results, if any, that could provide. This of course would be supplemented with minoxidil and potentially CB and keep at only that area.

YES! Spencer even touched on this in his show:

Spencer and I feel the same way at around 4:50-5:00. What he says is the exact way I feel about reading these forums. It truly is ridiculous.

Edit: from 4:50 to 7:15...Spencer speaks the same way I feel.

guys sorry please tell me, is 1.5mm reaching the hair folicle to wound it?isnt like 2.5 mm more correct?

how many times a week?

and it works as standalone right? in the past it was believed to increase absorb of topicals but with recent wounding science we learned that cells release "things" after wound tha grow the hair . right?

[UK_]

This is ridiculous, there is nothing for hair loss, we are all screwed.

[bibz]

Nope, YOU are screwed

If you never used a derma roller then you don't know how much it hurts. It's so freaking painful at 1.5, 2.5 is just out of the question.

I think that what we're trying to achieve neogenesis, new hairs with wounding.

[hellouser]

^^ With my 1.5mm roller, I went ham last night on the wounding, definitely more blood than last week. I could feel my scalp sting for the next 2-3 hours and even now, nearly 12 hours later, it still stings a little bit (very mild though).

God damn, I want my hair back.

began dermarolling 2,5 weeks ago and did it for the third time yesterday. bald spots are slowly filling in. slowly, but surely. every kid who starts to bald in his early twenties should do this at once.

Theres been speculation that inflammation is the cause of hair loss. If this can reduce it and maintain, Finasteride could hopefully be rendered useless (FINALLY).

Next hurdle is to regenerate donor follicles or follicle neogenesis. If we can do that, we can easily get back a full head of hear at normal density within a reasonable amount of time.

Fvck Finasteride and Fvck the FDA.

How much time have you been with minox before you started rolling?

Also... pics?
