Dermarolling Community Trial

[JulioGP]

Do not remember reading any statement claiming shedding here.

Chimera, from what I read in the studies, the treatment with Dermarolling was to work even without using Minoxidil, with only folicogênese.

I see the staff claim that bleeds a lot.
A doubt. How long are the wounds in the head?

You can leave home for work the next day after using the Dermarolling, or everyone will come ask why I'm mutilating myself?

The wounds are visible even after you stop bleeding?

I always shed 4 days after, at least the last 3 times, I bleed a good amount though

Just did my 2nd roll this Tuesday. Currently, this is the only treatment I'm administering aside from Regenepure (Nizoral) Shampo.

You mean you are not using minoxidil?, because we don't know if this treatment will work without minoxidil...

Just did my 2nd roll this Tuesday. Currently, this is the only treatment I'm administering aside from Regenepure (Nizoral) Shampo.

I was thinking about waiting 2 werks between each roll, but I got impatient and ready to go another round. Especially after the fact that I went pretty easy on my scalp the 1st round.

This round I pressed harder. It really hurt, but I pushed through it. I don't think I drew blood, but my scalp was red all over. The pain doesn't last, but my scalp did feel a bit sore in the upcoming day.

Also, I've had an increase in shedding afterwards. It seems to stabilize a little now, but for the past 2 days my hair has felt quite weak and I'm losing an increased amount of strands in the shower (seems to be fine during the day, but elevated in the shower). Could be other factors, but could also be dermarolling related.

I can't tell if this is a bad shedding, or the minox type of shedding where the strands are converting phases.

Anyone have any idea about the shedding?

Thanks for the reply.

How long you've been doing applications Dermarolling? Makes 5 months that this Trial was created.

You do not feel any significant improvement? Nothing at all?

I searched all over 200 pages for the results, but I think we still have a lot of people who started the trial and has not shared the results.

I hope that soon the staff can give that feedback.

I have been rolling for 7 weeks, minox for 8, really not enough time to see much increase, i started shedding at 3 weeks and seem to have a shed aprox 4 days post roll, had crazy itching last week, not this week so far. Several guys have stated they started seeing results around 6-7 rolls so i am hoping ij the next couple i may see something.
One observation is a lot of guys have a lot of flaking skin that are having results, i really dont have that, I think I roll pretty hard and draw blood as seen in the pic i posted so I am wondering why.
Recently got a 2mm roller for sundays roll, my thinking is maybe i have a thicker scalp? and am not getting in enough even though i bleed. We are conducting an experiment so I might as well go for it

This thread was posted originally to share results, but it got quiet over there. I guess it got lost because it's a results-only thread, and doesn't get a lot of posts because of that.

Results from Knockin on NW4 look good, and those from medion1 as well (clear results for being 8 weeks in, but nothing spectacular).
Some pretty good results were posted somewhere in this forum, but I'm not going to spend my whole evening searching for them.

I even accessed this link, but I don´t saw so many results. It seems that a lot more people started this trial, but only saw some bloody heads. 1 or 2 positive feedbacks.

I haven't taken any photos. I don't feel that I've made enough progress to share any pictures.

Invest a few more years in balding, then.

Ok, show me your awesome results, I'm curious!

[hellouser]

Hellouser,

As it was you who started this topic, I would like to know if you have photos of your BEFORE and AFTER.

I saw that you are applying the Dermarolling for several months now, but have not seen your photos with the results, just other users.

Do you have?

Not sure that Chimera. I see on the internet studies and reports on forums almost 10 years ago.

I think it was a discovery of the century, we would have several hairy people around the world.

I hope it works this trial here, but I think I've seen this "movie" before.

[chimera]

Guys, now answer me one thing:

Using the example of dermaroller that came to be discussed here in the forum (since 2006 has heard from him in this space and nothing proved in favor), a "job" posted here shows a very favorable statistics in numeric prism.

Why then in practice it does not become routine and bald all the world, or at least a 66.45% return to get hairy? Why in dermatology clinics or trichology is not routine?

Well... the only thing I can think of is that... yes, the dermaroller has been used for years. But needles of this size have almost never been used before. And not this often. Dermarollers have been used to increase absorption, but not like this.

[Hicks]

That's not what I meant at all ... I am not talking about which is the right size for our "experiment", I am not talking about which size would give us the best results. I am talking about the safety. What I am trying to say is that at 1.5 the dermaroller acts different than a 0.2 or 0.5, It not the same kind of damage on the skin, and the response of tissue is also diferent. Going that deep, that often, could be very agressive for the skin on athe long term.

But yeah... it is truem that is just a guess. There's a lot of info saying it is safe, and there's a lot of info saying it is not... so, who knows?

I think we're on the same page I just can't explain myself. Yeah I DR every week for about 6 weeks now I go once every 3 weeks. However I do use a massage ball about 2-3 times a week. I'm all about breaking up scar tissue. Might not get as deep as a DR but that's my experiment. Google Graston Technique. I also use Coconut oil for the healing properties and conditioner. Even though we still might have follicles that do not grow I find it extremely difficult to think we could or anyone could bring them back to life (It's like a dead arm or foot coming back to life). Maybe minianturized hair might stand a chance to become normal hair or dormant hair to activate growth sooner? Again my experiment is all about breaking scar tissue and increaseing blood flow to the area by moderate wounding. I'm on the Big 3, this is my one year mark so my results on DR might not be accurate compared to others.

Remember guys, the "after" pictures were not taken after 3 months, so don't get your knickers in a twist when you don't have a full head of hair after 12 weeks. Be realistic and stick with it.

Man up & roll on.
