Has anyone seen any results yet? im on 3 weeks and nothing so far. I guess it takes 6 weeks ?

Guys, I really do not want to be negative, but I hope those that are trying this "experiment" really don't put all their chips on the table.

I'm not saying you won't experience some sort of possible result, but for somebody who has been doing this for several months, I really would hate for those people to have such big expectations only to be let down once again.

Keep an open mind, but also aware of the fact this may not do anything at all. Like anything else, just give it a try and see what happens

I'm still doing it, but it hasn't done much of anything in 3 months. I'm now drawing blood (never have before) to see if I gain better results.

Yes, exactly! I was skeptical when I read the study, but I admit it can be difficult to maintain the skepticism with all the excitement people show in this thread, so very good advice.

Had my second session tonight - a lot more blood this time.

you roll deep and apply minox like in the study confitions? how old are you and when you became bald?are you completely bald where you perform it?

3 weeks is nothing, I think we should wait for at least 3 months. This study is getting out of control, people are demanding results before any significant time has been out.

I have noticed that my second time didn't hurt so much as my first. I think it's because my skin got a bit ticker, I don't know.

[walrus]

Still getting a pretty intense itching sensation on my scalp starting about 5 minutes after I roll, lasting for around 20 minutes. Not that bothersome, but curious how it only happens on scalp and not skin anywhere else I've tried it.

[john2399]

well didnt that study say that in 6 weeks they saw results?

I have applied Minox after rolling in the past, I now apply
Minox prior than wait a few hours because I don't want the added absorption due to Minox sides.

I'm 27 and I'm not bald. I started thinning in my hairline at 19 and very slowly it got worse, which soon progressed to general thinning throughout my scalp. Which is where I'm at today.

I am dermarolling on the corners of my hairline which is kinda bald, but does have some peach fuzz and terminal hair still remaining. It's like the hair is dying but not done 100% and not yet out for the count. It's hanging on the ropes that's why I am doing everything I can before I lose these hairs forever.

Is this only about creating new follicles, or will it, in theory, also strengthen the existing weak follicles?

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

i believe most the second, the first is the cotsarelis findings but for the first you really need hi tech wounding etc,factors etc .correct timing etc. so stick to the second according to the study...

From my understanding, both.

Here's my last dermarolling session from a couple days ago:

I am NW5 and am taking part in this rolling experiment, but this picture is getting me a bit concerned.

Is anyone else worried that the results to this experiment could be ruined by a bunch of paranoid guys who are rolling their forehead/temples and claiming that it hasn't "regrown" any hair, when there was NONE THERE to begin with.

Just a thought...

I think I remember seeing pictures of this guy's hair and he does in fact have mpb, receding hairline and general thinning. But you are right, this place is full of paranoid guys.


EDIT: Here's one of his other threads with pics.. http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=12390

I hope this is so. I still have very fine, thin hairs where my hairline used to be, so I'm hoping for the miracle.

According to the methodology described in the pilot study, you are not supposed to cause bleeding. Just redness over the area.

Not really cause that could be said of any treatment so I expect it, especially from an on-line forum that is full of paranoid young guys with minimal hair loss and maximum mental issues. Taking good quality (and consistent) photos every four to six months is really the only way to determine if a treatment is working for you or not.

In this case then 1.5mm should not be used because it will cause bleeding for sure because its beyond the epidermis layer. Better to use the 0.5mm and not more than 1mm as it wont cause any bleeding but only mild redness.
