Dermarolling Community Trial

[hellouser]

Can everyone please read the study and/or this entire thread before making misinformed comments like this one. Myself and other posters have repeated this a million times already, read the study!!

This in not about absorption it's about wounding, activating growth pathways, and hopefully reactivating dormant stem cells. I repeat this is not about minoxidil absorption, that is why you don't use minox on the day you microneddle!!!!!!!

For f*ck sake this forum is like screaming at a wall, a very very retarded wall.

Ignore him, he works for Merck.

I use the derma roller at least 3 times a week. From my experience where my results with Fin and Dutasteride the Minoxidil must be applied right after the rolling is done so that the Minoxidil can work into the deteriorated roots of the scalp to work underneath and have greater access to boost hair regrowth. Waiting for long period to then use the Minoxidil and the micro incisions heal back up and the treatment becomes just as effective or ineffective as before the incisions. Do it too deep or with too many repetitions and you have tissue scarring on the scalp that makes the follicle shaft less retrievable to make any positive changes.

OMG!!

Go up and read my post #420, and then go and read the study!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not about minox absorption and you are more than likely using the derma roller too frequently

[GreyGhost1864]

Hellouser he works for follica. Lol....not Merck. Do not let the weak and jaded ruin this for use. Keep going men! What we do in life echoes in eternity!

This is what I read as well.

we aren't supposed to apply min right after dermarolling, min does not need any more helping getting through the skin. Small chance you could do more harm then good.

Actually no I will be posting pictures soon.. so no damage has been done that I can detect.. there is significant hair regrowth is in all the balding areas and I am a NW5 gravitating towards an NW6 that I have been using the derma roller although these hairs are graying. Secondly I am not pressing down on the roller so hard as to draw blood that's number one. And number two I might roll on the affected areas maybe 7 to 8 times in a cross hatch formation. I followed my initial instructions on how to use the derma roller before this trial or this post even came on this board from here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gecBiXSogxc and this guy has been helping people with his youtube videos for a long time and he reviews pretty much every product out there in terms of its effectiveness that he has used to combat his own MPB and restore his hairline.

The video you linked has been posted twice already in this thread and debunked as it doesnt follow the study. Even they guy himself in the video says there may be a bit of blood.

Basically, both you and him are doing it wrong.

About cleaning the scalp... I wash my hair and scalp thoroughly and then use a dropper to apply chlorhexidine to the scalp. I have no bald spots, just thinning which makes it difficult to reach the scalp. Do you guys think washing and using chlorhexidine is enough?

The study show that you need to clean the scalp with Betadine and Saline solution. I am doing that. Betadine and Saline solution is cheap and easy to apply. That way you prevent any possible infection or follicle inflammation.

Ow! God****ingdamnit.

Hurts, doesn't it.

Yeah I saw that, but I have chlorhixidine and was wondering if that was enough. I will use betadine saline solution next time, just to be safe.

titanium or stainless steel?

Ok....I'm trying this.

What's the general consensus. I see that most people are using 192 needles.

Should I buy Titanium or stainless steel? Does it matter? Can Pretty Fly ask the researchers what is the exact composition of the dermaroller they used?

Thanks!
