Dermarolling Community Trial

[JulioGP]

I started making use of the rink. So far all quiet. Here some four months back to talk about the results.

Totally agree. Didn't cots hint at this aswell?

Not sure... all remember from him was 'cheesegrater' and '2-5 years'

We all know how the latter went...

increases absorption of other topical treatment. Wounding may not work on its own, but the other treatments efficacy is improved.

Price and accessibility had a lot to do with this. You could easily pick up a roller from amazon for a few quid rather buying unstable chemicals off a dodgy Chinese website.

Plus it reduces wrinkles and increases absorption of other topical treatment. Wounding may not work on its own, but the other treatments efficacy is improved.

I'm still surprised that this experiment yielded such sustained commitment and team work amongst this utterly dysfunctional community! Most successful experiment ever in hair loss forum history for lasting more than a week or two.

I know bigentries, it's really depressing.

Even if we had new treatments on the horizon, rolling if it worked 'as advertised' would've been a game changer. Regrowing hair with existing treatments is damn near impossible except for the lucky few, so something DIY to roll back miniaturisation, mind blowing.

Yeah unfortunately it was a scam. People jumped into it, me included. 800 pages of topics if we count the two forums, 0 convincing result.

"Scam" is a big word. The study is obviously wrong at this point, and of course there is the possibility of scam if it's verified that the researchers were offering the procedure in their clinic

Too bad, because this thing had the most potential for self-experimentation I've seen in hair loss forums

Now we come the usual stuff, people still dermarolling because a guy showed dubious pictures and a bunch of people with anecdotal evidence swear by it, throw again them getting mad at skepticism, and in a year, as always, we'll make it look like the thing never happened again

And to believe that just three years ago the future seemed so bright with Aderans and Histogen still in the game

Anyone still on this journey? Seems like the lights have all gone out everywhere on the rolling front.

The 2young guy posted a pictured of his scalp literally butchered.

The admin of the forum was just concerned about the well-being of impressionable young hair loss sufferers who might have tried to do the same.

Yeah, his scalp is literally butchered, pretty scary. I wonder how did he explained to others in his everyday life what was going on

If the thing catches up again at that level of damage, I'm pretty sure someone will end up getting an infection

Anyone knows how long did it take him to get to that point?

Hahaha what an enchanting guy. So dedicated to find something which works, just hope he doesn't accidentally kill himself while --> NW0 or die trying

why did they do it? Did it work too well to jeopardize their other products which I find unlikely from the other posts? Or did it take too much attention away from the products they sell? And how can we trust the moderators with the truth of what does and doesn't work if they take it upon themselves to lock threads that have attracted positive attention?

*** 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.

Squeegee must have just had a heart attack.

He's probably saying- at least I didn't waste any more time there
